@alinadi: You need to enable Private Messaging. This is in the "Edit Options" of the control panel. If this isn't there, it has to be added somehow. The last person who had this issue solved it in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=319819.

Device: Kobo Aura H2O
Would it be possible to send me a copy of the Kobo Aura H2O factory SD image? (not 2nd edition)

I bought the device last week off eBay "for spare parts". The previous owner just gave up after the device stopped responding - battery is charging OK, screen blinks on reset, but remains white after that. So he went to a service center to unbrick it (instead of simply resetting it).

In this way the device came to me after what seemed to be disastrous service "repair".

Here is the last owner's description of this "repair". The "repair guy" had directly ripped open the device (obviously he knew at least that there is an SD card there!), extracted the factory card, put it in a card reader under Windows, and since Windows promptly reported to format it... he formatted it! Putting this card back into the device, of course, did not work, so he declared the SD Card a total loss and threw it away! Then sold a brand new 4GB SD card to the owner, formatted it too (as a single FAT32 partition) and put it in the device. The result was... At that moment the repair guy declared the device a total loss too and thus it went off to eBay

In this way now I have on my hand a device with working hardware but no firmware at all (but with a bonus blank 4GB Class 10 SD Card) where the Serial Number for the device is lost after throwing away the old card.

Is it possible to somehow repair the reader at this point using a modded factory SD Image?

@davidfor, Thank you for your help.

I sent a e-mail to administrator in the last week as described in the post that you shared. However i have no luck, no answer from administrator.

Is there any other way to share factory image?

Thanks in advance

PM sent. But...

I just noticed that you list your device as a "Kobo Aura N514". Were you after an image for the Aura H2O? If you want something for your Aura, it doesn't have an internal SD card, so you cannot restore the image to it. Plus, I don't have one.

I read that Kobo Aura H20 image may work for Kobo Aura. My device bricked and this is my only chance.

There is an sd-card slot bottom of the device. I think it may work.

That has been mentioned here, but, I don't think there are many details about what to do. For example, it seems to be possible to boot off the external card, but, I don't know if it is then possible to restore something to the on-board memory to use later.

Hi
I am trying to repair a Kobo Aura H2O which stays on (led) for about 10 seconds and then switches off - the screen stays fixed.
My dad tried to fix it a few years back and apparently the SDCard went lost as it is missing, so I intend to place a new one in it but that requires the firmware image.

Apparently this is shared using private messaging - is it possible to get a pointer to the image.

Thanks in advance!

PM sent.

I have to admit that I am curious about how the internal SD card went missing. The Aura H2O is sealed and fairly hard to open. It would be an even more deliberate decision to open than the other Kobo devices.

@Raz: You need to enable Private Messages in the Control Panel. From the message I received, I think you have them enables, but have restricted who can send them to you.
