Bricked Aura HD
Good day ,

I played with Kobo Patcher (kpg.exe) and accidentally removed sqllite file. Aura HD went into infinite booting cycle with 5 squares. Hard reset didn't help.

I already got on hold of the internal SDCard and copied RecoveyFS partition into RootFS with MiniTool Partition. It kinda woke up but couldn't do update due to lack of space. Turns out moving/copying partitions is not easy - they don't end up in the same sectors.

I think I have several options:
- try https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...hp?t=194206#12
I'm a bit concerned because SDCard image i got is the one that never boots

- find working SD card image

- build one myself from downloadable firmware ( https://www.mobileread.com/forums/arc.../t-185660.html )
Not sure if it is even possible.

I would appreciate any assistance.

thank you,
night_mercury
