Bricked my Clara HD and need a firmware image

clarhdowner · 03-28-2023, 09:15 PM

So I thought cloning the initial disk over to a larger disk (1:1 data/partition over) and then expanding the last partition where the books are would get me more space for books.

Somehow now neither SD card will boot and it's stuck in a powered off state.
The best I can get is blinking LED lights at the bottom, Clara software doesnt detect it and Windows doesnt either.

Tried to follow this https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...81&postcount=3
with https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kobo_Firmware_Releases this but I am still in the same state.

How can I unfuck my system?

You could post a request for a copy of an image of a Clara HD SD card. The forum to request the image is: Clara SD card image needed .
