Great to hear that your Kobo is working again! Always nice to hear that another Kobo owner has saved their device from the e-waste bin and is back to enjoying reading with it.

Hello - I have a Kobo Clara HD (N249) that bricked recently. I also have an older Kobo Glo HD (N437) but this may be long gone.

Can someone please send me the Clara HD image? Also if a Glo HD image is available that would be great to try as well.

Thanks in advance!

Below are the required steps to restore Kobo aura N514 :

1. Charge the KOBO AURA during more than 2 hours. If battery is HS, change it before doing this reinstall procedure!
2. Download the image SD aura H2O given by PM
3. Unzip the Kobo_Aura_H2O.zip file
4. In this file the image is named Kobo_Aura_H2O.img
5. Download the program USB Duplicator Image Writer.exe
6. Insert a SD card in your computer (my SD card was 2Go capacity)
7. Execute USB Duplicator Image Writer.exe
8. Select the Select source for the image (Kobo_Aura_H2O.img)
9. Select the destination drive for the image (SD Card of minimum 2Go total capacity)
10. Start the processus...
11. When processus finished eject properly the SD card from you computer
12. Shut down the Kobo N514 (slide the top button to the right and maintain it in this position : When led is totally off then kobo aura has shut down).
13. With N514 fully charged and connected to power supply (it's really important because if Aura shuts down during the processus you will have to do it again !) insert SD card in aura
14. Press simultaneusely Light button + Slide the power button to the right
15. A message on the screen explain that the restore is in progress
16. After few minutes you are invited to connect Kobo with wifi or Kobo desktop (in my case the first possibility failed so I have connect my computer to the Kobo AURA vi USB and launched kobo registration following the software steps / the popup used to do this operation was hidden by the main software page).
17. After registration please eject property the USB cable from your computer
18. Restoration process will continue (In my case the screen will finish this operation with strange vertical lines)
19. Final step : the Kobo Aura restarts and is fully operational ! You can remove the SD card. Enjoy reading !

It does charge when I connect it to the computer, but the Kobo doesn't display the connect popup. I've tried all cables I have, some of which work as data cable with my phone, but no result with the Kobo. It just charges. The port doesn't seem wobbly, so not sure what's going on really.

I read that this is an issue for other people too, and the only cable that works seems to be the original cable it came with (which I've lost). For now, I'm using https://send.djazz.se/ as a workaround, and it's working at least!

Unfortunatly no dice and could not save the image on the SD card which was in the device

Thanks !

Hi, I would really appreciate the firmware.img for the Kobo 305b if possible. My friend has given her Kobo to me to try and fix as it completely froze when updating. I took out the SD card from inside and it looks like the SD card has completely failed. Thank you so much in advance.
