Aura HD Factory reset with Android?

Picoleh · 05-03-2014, 08:15 AM

Hello! I think I made a mess with my Kobo Aura HD...

First, did that run Android Hack to the external SD card. Worked fine, used it for a while and left it there. After that, I tried to install KoboLauncher, however, to make the device reboot, froze on the five small squares, with only one black. Pressing the reset button, the LED lights, the screen flashes twice, the squares appear, the first is black, the second arrives and then getting back to turn white and the screen freezes.
I tried the factory reset (switch on with the light button pressed) without success. I imagine that doing the Hack Android I've changed the search system for factory reset ...
What to do now??

The ultimate solution is likely to replace what's on your internal uSD card with a good image, that restores functionality back to before the Android mod.

Describes the process, to make an image and install it on a larger uSD card. You would need to ask for a good AuraHD image file, over in the "Developer's Corner", and then just do the last parts of the process.

The mod should have included a means to restore the boot process, if they have messed with it so that you can't just remove the external uSD card and apply a downloaded firmware "update".

Luck;

Thanks, Ken! I fix the problem! I open the device, get SD, and format the kobo main partition. It returns to factory defaults!
