Exclamation Bricked Aura H2O, does anybody have an image file?
Hello friends!
My Kobo Aura H2O (1st edition) ran out of battery during an update (stupid I know). The device is stuck on a white screen, and my PC doesnt recognise it. I have already gotten the SD card out. Can anybody give me an image file so i can reinstall the OS? I absolutely love my Kobo to bits, and would love to use it again.

Any other help is appreciated as well

Did you try doing a factory reset before dissasembling your H2O? The recovery partition should not have been affected by a failed firmware update. See Resetting your Kobo Glo HD or Kobo Aura H2O for the procedure.

Yeah I tried a manual reset, the screen flickered but after that it returned to white.
