Image file Glo HD

Hi,

Could also someone share with me an image file for the KOBO Glo HD.
I flashed the old touch firmware on mine...It does not boot now.

Thanks in advance.

You'd have better luck posting that request in the Kobo forum, specifically in the Glo HD - SD Image available yet? thread in the Kobo Developer's Forum.

Perhaps some kindly moderator might move this message to that thread?

Thread moved.

We prefer that posts not be reposted in a more appropriate place, but moved. The best way to get a post/thread moved is to report it and not to make an in-thread request.

@wildtrak: 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. You can try posting in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=319819 to ask it to be enabled, or contact a moderator.

Hi.

Could someone please send me sd image for the original 4gb card?
I mistakenly clicked format button after my kobo started showing only white screen :/

Thanks.

But, if you did a format from Windows with the device connected, it should only have formatted the book partition. I'd usually expect it to prompt to do a setup when the device was disconnected. But, if there were other things happening, try doing a factory reset.

Hi,

Thank you for the image.

I can't connect my device to the pc. So, I removed the SD and mount it on Windows. Then, used the image and re-formatted it. However, even though my Kobo is now opens it gives "something went wrong" error and does not connect to wifi. As I can't connect the device directly to a pc i have no choice to use setting it up via wireless. And now i have no option left :/

I assume that means the USB port is damaged in some way.

The issue is the version of firmware and contacting the Kobo web servers. Last year Kobo had to remove older security protocols from their servers. These ar no longer considered to be secure. Unfortunately the factory firmware on the Glo HD is to old to support the current protocols. You need to use the Kobo desktop application to do the setup, or manually install the firmware. As you can't connect the device, you should be able to take the card out again, and copy the firmware update files directly to the card. You need to use at least a 3.19.x firmware. Download the file, unpack it and then copy the files and directory to the ".kobo" directory on books partition. Windows should mount this correctly, but will complain about the others.

David; are you sure Windows will mount the SD card directly? I thought that because if the multiple partitions Windows wouldn't mount the card.
