PROBLEM WITH KOBO GLO HD -
Hi. My Kobo is bricked after enabling USB-OTG in system while setting up XCSoar for paragliding. I have no .img for the SD card.
I have tried the factory reset using a paper clip in the tiny hole by the USB port and also tried the power hold and double tap on the screen corners. Still nothing on the screen although the power switch operates a red glowing LED,
When the Kobo is connected to my PC I can no longer navigate to the Kobo. How do you find the space to copy the .img file if someone is kind enough to send one along? I have downloaded an application called USB Duplicator Image Writer 1.0 from Virtual Console but it seems to require me to browse to the relevant location...

Any help you can offer (including the .img file) would be very gratefully received

This information might not really help you with your problem, but (1) the paper clip factory reset does not work, since the XCSor installation has replaced the call to the original rcS with a call to their own version. (2) You can not use your device as USB storage, since the USB-OTG kernel does not support that mode. (3) If you have telnet access to your device (but probably you did not set up your device in that way), you can create the file /mnt/onboard/XCSoarData/kobo/start_nickel in order to trigger reinstalling the original kernel and running nickel.

I am not sure whether I understand you correctly. You did take the sd card out of your device and put it into the sd slot of your PC right?

By the way, there was a report that someone managed to boot from the external sd. Maybe you could try this too. See this thread.

PM Sent. But...

The pinhole is not used for a factory reset. It forces a restart of the device just like pressing the reset button on the front of a PC. The power-button-plus-tapping requires that the device starts from off. It is has hung, this won't work. But, if you have replaced the kernel, I have no idea if this will work.

To use the image, you have to open the device, pull the internal SD card out and mount it in the PC. Then use the image writer to write the image to the card.

But you can factory reset your device by poking the pinhole while booting. This needs four of five repetitions. Right?

My Kobo Glo (the Classic one, not the HD) died suddenly. It doesn't turn on anymore, battery is full, the LED glows green, blue and then green blinking but nothing more.
I thought maybe the OS doesn't work or the SD card is broken so I want to try a new card with a fresh OS. Could someone please send me a link of the image file, please with instructions how to install it?

Thank you very much!
Franz
