Chuman: Your device is listed as "Kobo (Original)". I don't have an image for that, and I don't remember there being one for it.

Thanks for the quick reply David! It's actually an N647B. My bad.

How did everyone manage to open up the Kobo itself? It doesn't seem to be popping open by simple prying with my fingernails, and I'm scared to bust it. Much appreciated for the help everyone

EDIT: A guitar pick worked perfect

Personally, with a few swear words. Then I stop and start again. Some people use the edge of a credit card or a guitar pick. The last time I tried, I had a plastic tool that came with the replacement battery for an iPod Nano lying around. It worked well.

N647 Update Loop / Books Gone
Just had the same issue happen to me. N647 updated the firmware, and when I plugged it into a USB charger, it rebooted and now always has the splash screen about updating the software when booting. All content has disappeared (even the 100 free books). Kobo Desktop does not recognize the device any longer. I tried the factory reset, but nothing changed. Does anyone have the internal SD card image they can share? I'll give it a try and see if this thing can be salvaged... Thank you!

For the kobo N647. The database seems to be missing. The kobo crashed and I preformed a factory reset but there is nothing in the KoboEreader drive when connected to the computer and when I attempt to setup it up it just ask for it to be connected to the computer but it already is.

I tried to upgrade/downgrade the firmware but there is no .kobo folder even after showing hidden files.

Was looking for the factory image of the SD. To attempt to restore it.

Thanks
