Could you be so kind to share the firmware for the kobo libra 2, model N418? With it i could try and revive a colleague's e-reader.

Is it a matter of plug-and-play, though? Just transfer the files onto a new SD-card, plug it in and reboot?

Hi David,

Would you be able to share the firmware image for the Kobo Clara 2E? I believe the serial number stars with N506.

Thank you!

my kobo Clara HD kept on freezing up, so I tried to insert a new sd card, to check if the sd card had become corrupt, but now no matter what sd card I insert, it won't boot up anymore.
it shows me a blank screen and a single white led.

the original sd card now also doesn't work anymore.
I am getting the feeling that it might be broken, but I would like to try out a new sd card image.

Can I also get a copy of the firmware for this device?
It's a Clara HD from 2019.

thanks

The µSD internal to the Clara HD has the operating system on it. A new µSD card is not going to have that operating system partition so will not boot or do anything useful.

The image I've sent you is an image of the entire µSD card (the free space which is used for serial number, etc., the first Linux ext4 partition which is where your Clara HD boots from, the second Linux ext4 partition which is used for the recovery boot and the FAT32 partition which is the one exposed over USB.

Note that Windows out of the box does not read ext4 partitions and wants to reformat the card which will destroy it's contents when the card is connected directly to a Windows computer.

Once you have the image use BalenaEtcher or USB Duplicator Image Writer to write the image to a new µSD card.

The image has firmware 4.38.21908 already installed. Once your Clara HD is working again, you can upgrade to 4.38.23171 either over the air or by downloading the firmware from the links on Patrick Gaskin's Kobo Firmware Downloads page.
