Hi Guys, I’m having an issue with my Kobo N905C. I accidentally formatted its internal SD card, and since then the device won’t work anymore.

I can enter Restoring mode using Home + Power On, and the device then asks to be connected to a PC. Kobo Desktop downloads and installs the update, but afterwards I’m forced to log into my Kobo account. Here’s the problem: Kobo Desktop constantly reports “I don’t have Internet”, even though my PC is online.

If I disconnect the Kobo from the PC, it tries to install the update, but after a few seconds I only get a black screen with three dots and nothing else happens.

I also flashed the Kobo_N905C_Touch.img from DNSB to a new SD card, but the behavior is exactly the same.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
