Kobo µSD Card Image Requests

[ilweran]

I was trying to update the firmware to the Glo firmware, removed the SD card added the files from the zip folder to the .Kobo folder, popped it back into the Mini and it's frozen when I've turned it on again - I've attached a photo of the screen.

Not a huge deal if its bricked (I've just got a Clara Colour), I was really just seeing if it was worth attempting to revive it as it's such a handy size for popping in your pocket. If anyone has a potential solution/fix that would be great!

I would like the SD card image for N437 Glo HD please. I want to be able to rule out a corrupted SD card for my bricked e-reader.

I've sent you a PM with links to two N705 Mini µSD card images. One is FW v3.19.5761-s, the last officially supported version, the other is from a Mini updated to FW v4.38.21908.

Hi,

Since a day or two I've been having the problem that my Kobo Libra 2 won't start after a (I suppose) a botched software update. Could you please send me the disk image?

Thank you.

If you see the heading, insert AutoUsbGadget=true under it.

If you don't see the heading, insert the following two lines:

[DeveloperSettings]
AutoUsbGadget=true

Re-insert the µSD card in your Clara HD, power it up and then connect it to your computer. If it has booted properly, you should see KOBOeReader as a mounted USB drive.

This will allow your Kobo to connect to your computer over USB without needing to tap on Connect in the pop-up.

thanks for the extra explanation.
I've added the
[DeveloperSettings]
AutoUsbGadget=true
settings to the config file.

Now, when I bootup the ereader I do hear the USB connect and inmmediately a disconnect sound from the computer.
So something is happening there, but there is no kobo mount available.

I've tried 3 new µSD card from different brands.
Nothing seems to do the trick.. it just shows a steady white LED.

I've purchased a 2nd hand clara HD off the internet, when it arrives I can try out the µSD card on there, and if needed also switch the screens.
Maybe that rules something out.

Any other tips are wel come of course
