Thank you for explaining, that makes sense. I think I will make a script that does the opposite and mounts the onboard partition again so I don't always have to reboot when I test it.

I have just tried it and it still has the same problems, usb still doesn't work and the touch input is horizontally mirrored. In fact, isn't this version missing update_002? I had already installed that before.
(I did not have the option to select 'install uncontrolled', I just put KoboRoot.tgz into the .kobo folder and ejected my device, then it rebooted)

I see. Is there an option to completely turn off usbnet? I do not need it for now as long as wifi works. I can also ssh into my device by using koreader or vlavosoft launcher or use rmc over wifi in KSM.

Good to know. If I could still access KSM then I could start vlavosoft launcher and use sftp and ssh to fix things!
