Aura Request for Kobo Aura (N514) SD Card Image

stim · 08-28-2025, 10:05 PM

Hi everyone,

I’ve had my Kobo Aura for about 10 years now and I really love it. Unfortunately, the internal SD card seems to have died. I removed it and I’m planning to replace it with a new 16GB card, but I’ll need the original SD card image to get it working again.

Would anyone be able to share the SD card image for the Kobo Aura (N514)?
I’d be super grateful — I’d love to keep this old Kobo alive and reading.

Thanks in advance!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the Kobo N514 Aura does not have a removable internal µSD card.

There is a possibility that you can boot from a µSD card with the Kobo N250 Aura H2O image in the external µSD card slot and restore operation that way. See message #124 in the Kobo µSD Card Image Requests thread in the Kobo Developer's Corner forum.
