How do you find the Overdrive integration? (probably not useful to you as you don't use wifi). |

Terisa, did you use the new or the old patching method?

I just updated my Clara HD to the 4.10.11655 firmware. I tried updating through the device, but it did not recognize any available software update (it stayed on 4.9.xxxx)... I manually downloaded the MK7 firmware for 4.10.11655, plugged my Clara into my iMac, and copied the contents of the extracted zip over to the .kobo directory. The Clara updated and rebooted, and I now had an option for Overdrive under settings.
Once logged in to Overdrive, it prompts you to select your library, and then you become part of that library system (many libraries). You can now access Overdrive by going to the Kobo Store. It tells you that you can borrow any book in the Overdrive Catalog through the Kobo Store, or you buy the book through the Kobo Store. Also, it seems to always remember my wifi password, even across sleep/wake cycles. |

@Nemo1984, no, I haven't noticed anything wrong (neither patching nor working). @LucyOne, no, I use the new method, that is easier for me (yes, I know I'm the strange one here

Finally did a manual update and it works! Can just borrow right from the device without the hassle of using Adobe Digital Editions, and they get downloaded as kepub's! Very convenient. I'm going to be borrowing a lot more now for sure.

I've been bumping into the WiFi password issue intermittently. I've had to log back into the network only twice since the update, but it's a tad annoying. Going to sleep isn't triggering the issue. At least, not when I tested it. If it's intermittent or a different trigger, then opening and closing the sleep cover isn't going to do anything. Any ideas on how to solve it?
Update: Its been such a busy month, I completely missed that this was a newer update than the one that introduced the WiFi bug! Updating now. Last edited by Cootey; 09-03-2018 at 03:29 PM. |

Firmware 4.10.11655
It’s possible you downloaded the wrong firmware, did not copy all the files to the .Kobo directory, or copied the files to the wrong directory. Here’s what I did on my iMac (from memory).
Download the firmware zip file for the MK7 Clara from here https://geek1011.github.io/KoboStuff/kobofirmware.html The zipped firmware should end up in your ~/Downloads folder. Open a finder window and navigate to your Downloads folder and double click the Kobo-update-4.10.11655.zip file and it will extract to a new folder with the same name. Go into the folder and you will see three items: \Upgrade directory and subdirectories - Linux boot and kernel manifest.md5sum - md5 hashes for the \Upgrade directory KoboRoot.tgz - this is the firmware Connect your device to your iMac, wait for it to power on if it was off, and choose “connect” on the device. A new device called KOBOeReader should appear on the Mac desktop. Make sure Finder of Mac is the active app, and go to the top screen menu and select “File”, “New finder window”, or press Command + N. Now from the “Go” menu at the top of the screen navigate down to “Go to Folder” ….or better yet…hit Command+Shift+G. Type: /Volumes/KOBOeReader/.kobo This will open the hidden folder on your Kobo eReader where we need to move the files. Copy the contents of the zip (the three items you extracted) in the one finder window over to the .kobo folder (the other finder window). Wait for it to complete. Right click on the KOBOeReader device on the desktop and choose eject. Within 10 seconds the Clara shut down and started installing the new firmware. It took less than 60 seconds to install. Then the device booted up again. The new boot up time was a little longer than previous firmware. Check under settings that your device has the newest firmware installed.
