• You can use the older kobopatch zip file, extract it, and add the latest Kobo firmware in the SRC folder.

• Modify the first two lines in Kobopatch.yaml as below:
  

  version: 4.38.23429
  in: src/kobo-update-4.38.23429.zip

• Follow the post #26 in this thread regarding koboptch.exe

Note: you may need to see the old threads for the kobopatch version after 4.38.21908 (4.38.2308 and 4.38.23171 if you are using the older Kobo model). There are fixes for some patches that don't work.

All but one of the patches I used for 4.38.23171 work. The one that doesn't work has had the offset updated by @jackie_w and it now works. So there is no need to go looking in other threads. The patches I've posted will mostly work. And any that don't work should be posted in here so maybe they can be fixed.

Customize ComfortLight settings: is not working. It could just be an offset issue.

          |     looping over instructions
          |       kobopatch.BaseAddress index=3 line=1338
          |         BaseAddress(kobopatch.BaseAddress{Offset:(*int32)(0x6895d54), Sym:(*string)(nil), SymPLT:(*string)(nil), SymPLTTail:(*string)(nil), Inline:true, Rel:(*int32)(nil)})
          |           BaseAddress(15243628)
          |       kobopatch.ReplaceInt index=4 line=1342
          |         ReplaceInt(22, 0x15, 0x11)
          |         could not apply patch "Customize ComfortLight settings": line 1342: inst 4: ReplaceInt: could not find specified bytes at offset
        --> could not apply patch "Customize ComfortLight settings": line 1342: inst 4: ReplaceInt: could not find specified bytes at offset

Hi, I tried this one
- BaseAddress: 0xE91D74 # find the base of the unnamed subroutine with the x-ref to _ZN5QTimeC1Eiiii

and all was fine

For fw 4.38.23429 try:

  - BaseAddress: 0x19A3582 # qss/PinCodeInputDialog.qss

For fw 4.43.23418 try:

  - BaseAddress: 0x1C7CE22 # qss/PinCodeInputDialog.qss

I don't use this patch so I'm not too sure what "success" is supposed to look like. Perhaps you could ask someone who does use it to test.

Thank you!

I don't use a pin. But for now, success is that the patch applies. But if someone says it doesn't work after applying then I'll say it's not working.

I know the patch for increasing the time until shutdown never worked for my on my Libra 2 even though it applied.

So we'll have to wait for a report of success for both firmware versions.
