Received the image yesterday with link to 'how-to', Kobo back up and running!

Was a faulty microsd card, but had spare available. So satisfying to recover a valued friend, can't imagine what it would have felt like to bin my well-travelled kobo!

Thanks again to David (DNSB - Bibliophagist) for sending details through.

Kobo Nia issues + image request

Hi,

I have a Kobo Nia (N306, standard Kobo edition, not FNAC) that won't boot. Symptoms: blinking white LED when charging, no display activity at all.

What I've tried so far:
- Force reset (holding power button)
- Charging from a wall adapter for several hours
- Replaced the internal battery (EVE254385N) with a new one - no change
- Opened the case and pulled the internal microSD card to check it on a PC

The card mounts and shows as FAT32, but Windows flags it with "problems found" every time, even right after running "repair." Running chkdsk /f /r from an admin Command Prompt reports the file system itself is fine (no errors, verification completes), but ends with "Cannot write boot sector." That looks like a failing write region on the card itself rather than a simple corruption I can repair.

I've bought a new microSD card to replace it, but I understand I need a full raw SD card image (partition table + bootloader + rootfs), not just a firmware update zip, since the new card has no existing structure to update.

Would anyone be able to share a working SD card image for the Kobo Nia N306 so I can write it to the new card and get the device booting again? Happy to provide any more details about the hardware if useful.

Thanks in advance!
