Hi,

I kindly request to be sent the image of a Kobo N613 Glo.
(I hope this model is correct as I thrifted my e-reader; I was able to match the diamond back pattern to some images I found online).


Not sure if I am allowed to give some contexts or ask further help as I am new to the forum. Please advise me if I need to take this question elsewhere.


My e-reader is stuck in a boot-loop. After charging and setting up the WiFi it freezes completely. Mounting the SD (which is formatted in MSDOS FAT32) shows no content at all.

With my current understanding (which is very limited) I should place a Kobo Image in there including the firmware files. This then should resolve the freeze.

Is my understanding of restoring the e-reader correct or am I missing some steps? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your taken efforts.

Kind regards,

joasv

Thank you very much for your help!

Great to hear that your Kobos have been saved from a premature trip to the e-waste bin. May you enjoy many hours of reading with them!

F-up updating manually my Glo N613,
tried using the Kobo software and using the sd directly connected to laptop,
then lines middle of the screen started to appear.

Then when doing it again accidentally click format, now the kobo doesn't even boot properly.
just flashes green/blue then off's
I'm assuming I'll need a new SD card + image

Hi, is this possible to have the image of this kobo device?
I've started this device after a long long time of inactivity (first time to start for me), and via kobo desktop i've done the necessary update who the device request me, but now is freezed on the Restoring screen, and there is no way to get out of here. I've tried to press the reset butto 15 seconds, i've tried to press the start button with the "home" button and many helpless combination.
Now i've opened the back of the device and i would like to try to flash the SD with the image.
Am i doing it right?

P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

Hi! My beloved Kobo N613 Glo just bailed on me I'd love to revive it with a disc image. Could you please share the full micro-SD image you have for the N613? I’ll verify the checksum and flash it with Etcher. Thank you! PS: I'm new to the forum, usually the private messaging should work.
