Hi, does anyone have a firmware image for a Kobo Nia, sadly I seem to have screwed mine up somehow.

I did do a backup of the KOBOeReader volume before fiddling but just copying that back to the sd doesn't seem to get it to restart. Just get the blinking white light and when I take the SD out to look at again all contents deleted so don't know if it's in some mode trying to reinstall a factory reset from the hidden partitions. Not sure if disconnecting the battery for a while will clear any memory as there may be usable factory image on the hidden partitions, not too sure how these things factory reset.

I did find stock image but sadly in Lz4 format and nothing seems to open those in windows to any useable img file.

Thanks
