I am having the same problem. The product number on the box (Yep I still have the box) is N647-IND-B - assume that is a N647B. Could I have the image and the instructions please.

Thanks in advance

Did you use an image writing program like win32diskimager to write the image to the card? You cannot copy and paste the files onto the card with Windows, you need an image writer program to do it.

Hi there, seems I have the same problem. I decide to update on my kobo N647 several months ago after many years without apply any updates. After applying forced critical update to the kobo, it seemed to work ok, but battery life is short lasting only a couple of days at best with no Wi-Fi on. When I went to charge the unit put on manage instead of keep reading, had it plugged in, unplugged unit as it rebooted and applied software updates. Now shows no books found and no external storage. Followed steps on kobo site and hard reset which wiped out all internal books. Will not show up on Calibre thru usb or wi-fi.
Can someone please send me the pre-update firmware and possibly a link/procedure to how to apply the firmware and restore functionality to my reader? I would truly appreciate it.

Thank you.

PM sent. And have a look at Memory Upgrade Mod Guide for a guide. It is for the Glo, but the steps and tools are the same.

Hello, I'm new to the forum and experiencing the same problem with my KOBO Wireless, i.e, 'No Books Found' message when powered up. Could someone send me an image for the KOBO wireless, along with instructions for the procedure.

Many Thanks

I'll send you the image file but I need to know first which model you have, N647, N647B, or N289?
