I got past the setup stage using these instructions: https://yingtongli.me/blog/2018/07/30/kobo-rego.html and tried manually updating by extracting the update into the .kobo folder, but still no luck.

It's stuck on software version 4.32.19501. Also has a blank serial number.

As of now the eReader is still usable with Calibre, but unfortunately I can't download from my local library with overdrive, as syncing from overdrive also triggers a software update check.

Did anyone have this same problem?
Have you tried a manual firmware update after downloading the firmware from https://pgaskin.net/KoboStuff/kobofirmware.html
