Hi!

It seems my Kobo N249 Clara HD bricked and cannot get out of the restoration loop. Would you be so kind to send me an image?

Thank you!

Hello,

I would like to request the SD card image for my Kobo Aura Edition 2 (model N236).

I'm facing an issue after a factory reset. The initial problem was that my device was incorrectly detecting my Wi-Fi as a captive portal, which I believe was due to the old firmware.

I attempted to manually update the firmware using the files from pgaskin.net, but this has resulted in a black screen, effectively bricking the device.

Here is a summary of what I have tried so far:

Factory Reset: I can still successfully perform a factory reset. After the reset, the device boots up, but I'm back to the original Wi-Fi/captive portal issue.

Firmware Update Attempts:

I tried installing the latest firmware kobo-update-4.38.23171.zip. After the "Updating..." screen, the device reboots to a persistent black screen.

I have tried this with the firmware for both the V1 and V2 versions of the Aura Edition 2, with the same black screen result.

I also attempted to install an older firmware version, but the result was the same.

SD Card Cloning:

Suspecting a corrupted SD card, I performed a dd dump of the original internal SD card right after a successful factory reset.

I then wrote this image to a brand new, known-good SD card.

Unfortunately, when I try to apply any firmware update to this new card, I encounter the exact same black screen issue. This suggests the problem lies within the base software image itself.

At this point, I believe the only solution is to flash a clean, known-working SD card image. Could you please provide me with the link to the SD card image for the Kobo Aura Edition 2 (N236)? If possible, I would appreciate having access to both the V1 and V2 images, as I am not 100% certain which hardware revision I have.

Thank you very much for your help!

You may want to try an incremental upgrade of the firmware. Check your current version (More => Settings => Device Information) and try a version that is a few versions newer than your current version (current version is 4.0.xxxxx, try version 4.10.xxxxx and work your way up to the newest version for your device).

The older firmware does not support the TLS security protocol needed to connect. I'm assuming that you can connect to your computer using USB to copy over the newer firmware. If you are not in Europe, you should still be able to try the Kobo Desktop application to see if it connects to your Aura Ed. 2.

Hi everyone, new in the forum.

My wife's Clara HD seems to have the filesystem corrupted as I am able to access the files via an SD card reader, but the e-reader is not booting correctly. (Or maybe there is something wrong with the device, but I want to try this before considering it a paper weight...)

Can I please have the SD image for it?

Thanks a lot

I was on FW 3.5, I took the oldest possible version which is 4.0.7523 (for V1, V2 didn't work even though I normally have a V2). I was able to connect to Wi-Fi, and it finished its upgrade via the official channels

Thank you very much for your help!

Hello,
My Kobo Aura ed.2 (n236) was damaged during update.
I have the sd-card out and can see what’s on there via my iMac. My books are visible on there but I can’t see the .kobo folder. I believe that’s Mac OS, it doesn’t show the root of the sd-card.
If i can get a image withe the correct kobo os, how do I get it on the sd-card using the iMac?
Also, i found a website with all firmware packages for Kobo readers. Is that what I get when I request on here?
Please send the image that I can put on my e-reader with just one blue button on the back!

Kindly please share with me, the sdcard image for a Kobo Glo: N613.

TIA!!
