I have just added a hidden bbcode generator to generate a forum post for a new release. See if you can find it! Hint: try different filters.

When can we expect to see the Kobo Aura H2O Edition 2 in the list?

Do you know the model id? If so, I can add it today.

davidfor · 05-16-2017, 08:28 AM

It should be "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000374".

Done. Can you check to make sure the info in the table for it is correct(like the mark number)?

As far as I know, the Aura H2O2 is a Mark 6 device, so it look fine.

On a different note, the non-Mark 6 devices all have "Rakuten- 439084" as the release date. Is that intended?

David, are you sure about that? I just looked up what I did in KSM in terms of identification. There I see:

370 ) PRODUCT_ID=0x4213;;
371 ) PRODUCT_ID=0x4223;;
372 ) PRODUCT_ID=0x4224;;
373 ) PRODUCT_ID=0x4225;;
375 ) PRODUCT_ID=0x4226;;

And from some other notes of mine I see that I classified 374 as unknown model. And 375 I took as the new model (I cannot remember whether we knew already the name H2O Ed. 2 at that time. I have to admit that I cannot exactly remember what was the base of what I did.
Any ideas to that?

I just checked by putting this into the console:

Code:

KoboFirmware.devices = [];KoboFirmware.devicesToChcek = {};String.prototype.padLeft = function (paddingValue) {return String(paddingValue + this).slice(-paddingValue.length);};for (var i = 0;i < 100; i++) {console.log(i);var did = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-0000000003" + i.toString().padLeft("00");KoboFirmware.devicesToCheck[did] = did};KoboFirmware.promises.CustomJSONP = KoboFirmware.promises.JSONP.bind(null, 60000, "https://json2jsonp.com/");KoboFirmware.Init();

It seems like it is the only new one on the list which works, so I think David is correct.

Far easier to read the code on Github :P

For me

Code:

https://api.kobobooks.com/1.0/UpgradeCheck/Device/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000374/RakutenBooks/0.0.0/N905xxxxxxxxx

returns the URL http://download.kobobooks.com/firmwa...-3.19.5761.zip
whereas

Code:

https://api.kobobooks.com/1.0/UpgradeCheck/Device/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000375/RakutenBooks/0.0.0/N905xxxxxxxxx

returns the URL http://download.kobobooks.com/firmwa...e-4.3.9084.zip

With bestbuyca both return the URL http://download.kobobooks.com/firmwa...e-4.4.9298.zip

@tshering: "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000374" was the only id added to the recent firmware. 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000373 and 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000375 where added for the Aura Edition 2 and Aura ONE. I remember wondering about the missing number at the time. This suggests it's been planned for a while.

For the PRODUCT_ID, the Aura H2O2 is 0x4227. That came from the firmware but I have confirmed it with Kobo. I don't have any use for the other id, so I didn't check it.

Thank you for your explanation. You are of course right. In a moment of confusion, I was yesterday unaware of that I still have to update the KSM patch for the AURA H202. The code I posted above is from January, and the model I noted as unknown then, turned out to be AURA H202.
