Hey all,
My Kobo Mini is currently running Kobo firmware version 3.19.5761, which I updated to (from 3.4.1, which is the latest official version the Kobo can run). Can I go any higher? I mean, I bricked it before, and I wrote a whole tutorial thread about unbricking a Kobo (feel free to check that out), but it is a pain in the bum and I don't want to risk it. So, 3.19.5761 is max, right? ![]() |

No need to go all nuclear. Even if I could, I wouldn't run 4.X on the Mini. Too much for the processor, I guess. NOTE: Seriously, why is your biography "Old and grumpy"? Are you that old? You are very nice, not grumpy! |

The Mini has the same CPU as the Glo. The 4.x.x firmware runs on this fine. The only real question is whether some change has been made that won't work at the resolution the Mini screen is. So far, the support is still there. |

Thinking about it, it might be more correct to say that she hasn't contacted me to say she's having any issues. See the Kobo Firmware Releases entry in the MobileRead wiki for the download links. Last edited by DNSB; 10-04-2018 at 01:13 AM. |

- 4.10.11655 is not for Mark 4 devices. How did the update work on the Mini? - It should have either crashed or be stuck on the loading screen forever. How come it is not bricked? - Did you patch it? - What IS patching anyway? - Are you sure she has a Mini? - If that is so, what Beta Features are there on 4.9.11311 and 4.10.11655? Do they have the same Beta Features? Please try to answer all questions ASAP. ![]() |

Patching has nothing to do with ensuring firmware compatibility. Patching is a nice way to tweak firmware that is already installed. (For instance, removing certain parts of the home screen from view, or making advanced font settings visible for sideloaded, etc.)
