Thank you so much for documenting this. I just ran into the same issue today after upgrading my Kobo Libra H2O to the latest firmware. After deleting the Settings.toml Plato started again.

First post here! I hope it's not rude to ask this.
I just bought a Kobo Clara BW updated to 4.42.23296, and installed the Plato&KOReader zip using the script. However, whenever I try to launch KOReader from NickelMenu, the screen freezes for a few seconds, then reboots to the menu.

I did what this post said replacing the line codename == "spaTolinoBW" for codename == "spaBWTPV" but it still doesn't work. Here's the crash log for reference. Any ideas?

I'm not familiar with coding so any extra help by explaining the steps would be highly appreciated. Thank you SO much. I'm so happy to see forums are somewhat alive for this kind of projects. Happy week, everyone!

Which model of the clara BW? P365 or N365?

P365! Thanks for asking and sorry for not mentioning it earlier

[PeterT]

I believe the issue is not all of the mod authors have created versions of their code compatible with the P365.

I think you can find a compiled version of fbink with the mods for the p365 in the github repository; see https://github.com/NiLuJe/FBInk/acti...ns/15194152853 in the artifacts section. No idea though how to integrate it into the install package.

Thank you SO much, really!!
For now, I was surprised to find this solution by introverted_mage worked really well! TLDR; replacing the .add/koreader folder for the option from the most recent nghtly build: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/13648

I'll keep an eye to see if KOR runs smoothly. If I run into any issues I'll try that solution- Since I'm not yet familiar with coding I'm worried I might change something I shouldn't!! Again, thank you SO much for all the help, you're amazing!

Until OP bumps their provided packages, I created my own KOReader 2025-08 + Plato 0.9.44 + KFMon 1.4.6. You can find it here:

OCP-Plato-0.9.44_KOReader-v2025.08.zip

You standard disclaimer of downloading the firmware for your device from a random guy on the Internet applies here.

Greetings,

Has anyone been able to use/run Plato on a Clara BW P365? I have been trying several times and always get the same problem, when I select Plato on the NickelMenu after installing everything (kfmon, nm, koreader, plato) it seem to crash the kobo (or at least, the backlighting goes off and the reader becomes unresponsive).

I have no problem with koreader which works without any issues.

Let me know if you know or have any idea to help me troubleshoot the problem. I'm fairly tech saavy but new to the kobo ecosystem and have just purchased by ereader a few days ago.

Many thanks

Has there been any progress in preventing automatic updates? I'll be reading just fine in KoReader for months, open up my reader and I'm suddenly back on the main Kobo screen with a broken installation. My reading progress is saved but all my OPDS settings are gone and have to be added back again.
