u-boot_mddr_256-E50610-K4X2G323PC.bin Image from kobo i use 2.5.2 firmware The last sector from uboot binaries isnt 139 but 279. With 279 i have error while write to card. But when i put it to kobo so blink green. When i use 139, kobo not blink. What is right? Copy only 139 or 279? It suck. Thanks for reply man ![]() Last edited by mastnacek; 09-21-2013 at 08:03 AM. |

I have tried following the instructions, but no boot, not even a screen flicker or green or blue light, nothing at all.
I also get various sector counts for the uboot binaries. Any ideas? |

The manual is written but not entirely clear. Sectors to be rewritten, not just insert the beginning. So take from one sector 2 and rewrite sector 2 in the second, the whole.

Quick info about firmaware versions
Quote:
The linux version installed uder chroot is independent of the Kobo firmware. I mean regardless the firmware version you can install both softfp and hardfp linux distributions and both will run fine. Once you do "chroot" the software will find correct (softfp or hardfp) runtime libraries under its chroot and will run fine. The reason why I installed softfp debian distrubution was the compatibility with mono (not the compatibility with Kobo firmware). Quote:
Changing mmcblk0p2->mmcblk0p3 must be done with care, anyway. Alternatively (which is better for future updates) you can move the swap partition one position to the beginning and replace mmcblk0p3->mmcblk0p2 in scripts. It will free you from thinking about this next time. Sorry for that. I've made wrong decision with keeping swap file on the end of the SD card. I thought it is a good idea (when frequent writes to swap file corrupt SD card you can just shrink partitions and still use the same SD card), but it is too much trouble when upgrading firmware and my SD card works didn't broke yet. Anyway, you can reverse partitions order if you want. |

Done it!
I compared the uboot sectors of the debian and kobo mini images and they were already the same, so I left out that bit of the instructions and it worked. |

I wanted to say that now java can work directly within latest kobo firmware without anymore need a chroot softfp ambient (or dually now we can try an hardfp chroot ambient, i.e. like archlinuxarm or ubuntu, without lose official java by Oracle). Last edited by Fabry; 09-25-2013 at 06:56 PM. |
