Glo Kobo Glo: Need SD card image - Page 65

Unless the card has failed, you can write the image to the current card. Or you can use a larger card and expand the storage. And yes, with the appropriate tools, you can do this under Windows.

Hello,

I also need a link for a Kobo Glo image. Mine boots up to the language selection dialogue but the touch does not seem to react. I want to confirm that the firmware is OK or not.

Thanks,
Bogdan

@pipb: You need to enable "Private Messaging". This is on the "Edit Options" page of the your control panel. It should be in the "Messaging & Notification" section. Unfortunately, some new users report this is missing. I don't know why and don't know how to get it displayed except maybe after a few posts.

Hello there
During researching a problem with my Kobo Glo (N613) I have come here for some advice
Symphtoms: Cover page displayed and the Kobo will not turn on
Actions: Hold power slider in off position for 30 secs - nothing
Next: Charge 1 hour and repeat above - nothing
Next: Hold power slide and insert paper clip and release power slider (reset I believe) nothing
Next: Hold power slide and press down light button for 30 secs and release - nothing
Next repeat charge and had a number of goes at the above - nothing
Next: Take back off, checked under the motherboard without removing it and could see the light around the screen lit. Unplugged the battery (or so I thought ) however light have not gone out yet, removed sd card and reseated. Reconnected, put on charge tried all the above nothing

Can any one make a suggestion or do I re-image?
If re-image is it a Stand re-image and may I also have the image please

***Additional info*** I put my kobo card into my pc openned Kobo desk top app and the app recongised the card as my kobo glo and sync! This makes me wonder if the damage is physical / hardware. Any thoughts?

Unless the screen is damaged or there is other hardware damage, it sounds like you need the image. So, PM sent.

The fact your PC was able to mount the card is somewhat strange. The SD card has multiple partitions, only one of which is formatted as fat32; Windows does not normally mount any partitions when multiple exist on a SD card.

@davidfor: The private message issue got solved. Could I have the Kobo Glo image link? Thanks!

What was the solution? Number of posts, or something else?

Hello,

Just bought a retail Kobo GLO HD that was OK (firmware from 2015, as far I remember). I did a factory reset (in the idea to launch update after) and it got bricked afterward: not able to start anymore. So, can someone give me a link to the SD card image so that I make my Kobo to revive? Thx.
