There was nothing simple like that comparing the Sage that was working and the new one, when Kobo registration server was working and server was timing out on WiFi for the Notebook resources.

Eventually I copied EVERYTHING in the exposed partition from working Sage to new one, inc all hidden stuff (in Linux).
The new Sage then had a fatal error (which you could cancel). It didn't work properly. It was restarted and had an error again. Then restarted and it worked. Then notebooks worked and I was able to connect to Calibre to remove extra books. Also sign out (as it had account of my own Sage), create new account and then set it to SideloadedMode=true
My theory is that something is also updated on the system partition, normally inaccessible via USB.
There is top folder (missing on a new Sage) in .kobo
iink
That has in it:
diagram
math
raw-content
text-en_US
(I'm in Ireland)
Each of those has
INFO
recognition-assets
lastmodified.txt
These are all just resources. The actual Nebo application is somewhere else and either is in the Firmware or is downloaded from a separate server (likely Kobo's).
My original Elispsa already had all the resources and didn't require the resource sync. I've bought 5 Sage models now (only one is mine) and all are now set SideloadedMode=true after registering and all needed the resource sync, which was only unavailable on one (presumably the separate server was down).
There are 3 sqlite databases in .kobo
Bookreader, fonts and Kobo
The Kobo eReader.conf in .kobo/Kobo gets extra settings after the Notebooks are enabled.
Note that there is no actual Nebo application in the exposed partition. The one Sage that failed sync on resources (server error) did get dictionaries and a FW upgrade and who knows what else at setup time and at WiFi sync for "resources".
Some parts of the conf (an old backup file, not any current Sage)

Really those zip files and any sqlite settings are only part of what happens.
I can't see how a manual install without any WiFi can work unless Kobo dramatically changes the Firmware.
