Hi Mobileread Forums,

great to find this place still alive, my last visit dates back to 2013 when I bought my Aura HD and found all the nifty hacks to get the best from the device from here. Especially the black and white inverter was a game changer.

So the device has served me well for ten years now, but as you can probably guess from me posting in this thread - I managed to brick it yesterday. Battery was empty, connected it to my PC to upload a book which I did after it booted. Transfer complete, disconnected USB and of course the battery ran out during the rescan. Tried everything mentioned here to no avail.

Device is already disassembled and I have the microSD in a cardreader connected to my PC. I'd be very thankful if you could hook me up with the SD-Card image and flashing instructions. Linux tools are available.


Best regards and huge thanks to the community here for keeping the place vivid.

Thank you, was able to revive my Aura HD with the .img provided.
A simple
Code:
# dd bs=4M if=aurahd.img of=/dev/sdX
does the trick on Linux.

You will need to have Private Messages enabled before you can be sent the link. If you don't see that option in the "Edit Options" of the User control panel, you should post in the Requests to enable Private Messages thread to ask for them to be enabled.

Once PMs are enabled, please re-post here to let me know.

While you have PM enabled, you are going to need to use the User Control Panel to allow me to send you a private message. See the attached image.

I've sent the PM but am wondering about requesting a Clara HD and an Aura HD image at the same time.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like my youngest who has a love/hate relationship with electronics.

Hopefully, you can get them working again.
