Hi JSWolf,
Thank you for your reply. Apologizes for the delay in responding to your post.
I read your post and I am visualizing the steps....but I still feel its a bit risky for me to do it cause I dont know coding or programming and I feel wary to risk spoiling my Kobo reader.
I tried searching for a Youtube video of anyone explaining and demonstrating the steps on their channel and I could not find one.
Do you know if there is one video on YouTube or anywhere that shows all the steps and the end result and how to perform future successive patches ?
That would help me to better understand this.
Thank you,

Go to post #150. Download the patches for 4.38.23038. Create a directory for the patches and unzip into that directory. Edit the file kobopatch.yaml for your firmware version. Put a yes next to all the patches you want to apply. Download your firmware from https://pgaskin.net/KoboStuff/kobofirmware.html
Not all the patches will apply. When the patcher fails to finish, look in the out directory and have a look at the file log.txt. See which patch fails to run. Make a note of it. Then in kobopatch.yaml, change yes to no. Keep doing this until the patches run. You can copy the file KoboRoot.tgz (in the out directory) to .kobo on your Kobo and apply the patches that do work.
Then post in thread I linked which patches fail to apply to the firmware you are running. Someone may be able to help get some working. If anyone does help get some working, you can redo the patches. |
