I never used this before. Is this a new must-have? I'll give it a try. Thanks!

It's not new. But it's not how the previous patches came. The 4.38.23171 came from my patches with some formatting fixes by DNSB.

You have to the kobopatch.yaml file and do your yes or no in there instead of each yaml file in the src directory.

Ovservations on Kobo Aura N514
Thank you all for the work on the kobo!

I am just experimenting with kobopatch for a old Kobo Aura N514.

# Serial cable
I have hooked up a 3v3 TTL serial cable to the PCB, for using pyserial-miniterm /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 --raw in order to gain root access on the device.

I notice that the serial communication is inhibited after some kill commands apparently inside the nickel process. If the device is in sleep mode then it is fine, otherwise I needed to "killall nickel" in order to use serial because after a few second the communication would drop, touching the home icon would re-enable the serial for a few seconds...

# System reset to manufacturing defaults.
So I thought it maybe good to clean out old setting that where form 11 years ago, so I did an factory reset. =>
Bad decision, the device now needs a full online tethering cycle to the kobo site before it is usable. Luckily I could restore the old contents of /mnt/onboard/ in order to bring it back..

So I am now on unpatched kobo-update-4.38.23555.zip with root access via serial.

i have not yet used the device full and I am just starting to gain some experience with the Kobo, obviously I would like to detach from online services interfering with the use of this device as much as possible:

Would it be wise to install kobopatch_4.38.23171.zip with the 4.38.23171 firmware?

Many thanks, kind regards,
hve
