New Firmware Release, Oct 2012.
Desktop release 3.0.4

With the following warning from Kobo:
WARNING: Going forward we are distributing specific upgrade packages to devices based on various criteria which makes the upgrades incompatible between some devices.
Kobo does not support sideloading of upgrades.


2.0.4
Australia Release (maybe others)

98,643 KB (101,010,295) from Desktop Update (Australia)

This appears to be an intermediate release, necessary to get 2.1.4 to install (although I haven't tried to get from 2.0.0c to 2.1.4 directly). This update will permanently change the Firmware Update Management firmware on the device to be able to load normal firmware on the Australian devices.

Note: This is unconfirmed and untested. Sourced from this post in this thread.



As of this point, Kobo is releasing different firmware files for each of their products.
Touch is from //download.kobobooks.com/firmwares/kobo3
Glo is from //download.kobobooks.com/firmwares/kobo4

Mini is from //download.kobobooks.com/firmwares/kobo5 (This is a guess. Doesn't work for 2.1.5).

Note that the file name format has changed. The prefix is now 'Kobo-', not the previous 'Kobo3-'.

And the Glo is now coming from the Kobo4 directory. However, the files still have the same filename.

Dark Green is for unconfirmed information (generally at the beginning of a release).
