Glo Need help for enabling ftp on Windows

tatayoyo · 07-17-2013, 09:08 AM

Hi,

I've recently buyed a Kobo Glo, and i'd like to add some tweaks on it.
After some search, i can't find any tuto to enable it on the Glo reader.

Could ou help me please ?
Regards.

Here.

After step 1, you will be able to telnet/ftp when you connect to wifi, e.g. by using your browser.

After step 4. your will be able to telnet/ftp over USB on IP 192.168.2.101.

I must download your hack package ?
It works for the Glo ?

Yes.

If you have an other Kobo, you're good for points 1 to 4. Delete all files which form pairs, e.g. menu.lua and menu.lua-old in directory 5. Do step 5.

I've done all steps, i have the kobolauncher icon but it only open the pictures. Nothing more...

Could you help me ? Thanks.

And now i can't access any memory of the Kobo...

I do not know what you did. But when I bricked my Aura I powered off, pushed and held the light button and slid the power button to the right and held it there. It resulted in a factory reset.

The main reason for the pictogram not working is not powering down and restarting in between copying steps. Just repeat 2d. and 2e. when you have access to your Kobo SD-card again.

Ok, i've done a factory reset and i'll retry all steps. Ty.

In step 5 the folder is nammed "KoboLaucher".
It's normal ?

Markismus · 07-17-2013, 11:50 AM

Nope. Step 4 is KoboLaucher.

tatayoyo · 07-17-2013, 12:01 PM

Ok, all step done, i'll try.

tatayoyo · 07-17-2013, 12:18 PM

Ok, it works fine, thanks a lot.
Is there another app i can install on it ?
What is KoboTweaks ?

Markismus · 07-17-2013, 02:00 PM

Kobotweaks doesn't work with firmware 2.6.1.
They are rebuilding it at the moment.

tatayoyo · 07-17-2013, 02:08 PM

Ok, thanks for the info.
What about your folder N°5 ? Does it works ? How ?
