When I put 4.38.23038 on my Elipsa1, the update went without a hitch. Same with my KLC with 4.39.x. But when I put the firmware on my Kobo Clara HD, it got stuck in a boot loop. Always good for a mild heart attack when those happen. 😅
Curiously, plugging it into my Mac’s USB hub didn’t break the device out of the loop. That usually works. But another charger did the trick, though I had to wait a while, then got a warning symbol with a ⚠︎ sign. I wasn’t worried at all. Nope. Not me. 🤥
Eventually, it rebooted and did a soft reset. After I went through the mandatory setup again, I restored my Kobo from a backup, then upgraded the firmware with a new download. This time it worked without any hiccups.
Makes me a little hesitant to update my Kobo Mini. Anybody had any luck applying 4.38.23038 to a Mini?
