I did. What I did so far was use explorer to eject it, wait a bit, and then turn it on/off while it's still connected. So at that point it was still showing the black "charging" screen.
This time I did it a bit differently. I connected it, copied the sqlite files, ejected it through explorer, and then pulled out the cable from the ereader. For the first few seconds I could see the status of the books and the progress. However then it started importing content progress bar and I could see the books resetting to unread one by one.

- Reconnect your Kobo to calibre
- Select all the books shown as being on your device in calibre
- In the Kobo Utilities menu, select update metadata and click on OK.
- In the Kobo Utilities menu, select Store/restore current bookmark. Make sure the Restore radio button is selected and click on OK.
- Safely eject your ereader
As for the bookmark restore, did you configure the needed custom columns and Kobo Utilities is configured to use them so you have some data to restore? See 1st attached image. the 4th image is what the columns look like in my calibre library view. |
I didn't have the columns yet, just created those. I'll give it a go and get back in a bit. But all of this takes a LONG time, because somehow I have to keep rebooting the pc or the ereader every time after disconnecting it, because otherwise it doesn't recognize it and the ereader just reboots.
