Aura KOBO AURA V2 Bricked need image

Koboaura99 · 10-23-2022, 04:54 AM

Hy all, I'm new here.

I'm totally lost. I had some battery issues with my Kobo Aura so i installed a new battery. Unfortunately, it was still draining extremely fast.

Then I figured out how to downgrade the firmware. And it did help a bit but still drained fast. So I tried another firmware and as you can guess its bricked now. I see some weird stripes on the screen and it's not rebooting or resetting.

Tried everything and I put the SD card in the computer directly and copied firmware but no results. Screen stays on see: https://postimg.cc/R3zv7f2Q

Is there a way to fix this or can someone send me an image of the whole SD card so i can copy it?

I think im screwed.

happy to hear.
Thnx

Which version of the Kobo Aura Edition 2 do you have? There is a version 1 and version 2. If the 7th character of the serial number is a 2 you have version 2 hardware. Due to a change in the CPU between v1 and V2 software, the image from a v1 can not be used on a v2 and vice versa.

I've sent a PM as well.

And remember patience is a virtue!
