Hello!
I found the link to this forum looking for help on my Kobo.
Basically... I messed up.
I tried to fix my Kobo (Frozen on a blank page) myself and ended up formatting the SD card.
How do I reinstall all the file systems to make it work again?
And where can I find the files?
The model is Aura Edition 2 N236
THANKS!

Can you also link some useful information to restore the image for Mac Users? I've found istructions fo Windows users only. Note that I don't have the need for larger storage, I would like to reuse the same SD (that appears to be working fine). Thank you.

I've found an image on a reddit post and tried it, with "partial success".
My process: i've formatted a 64GB microSD (the original 8GB one was broken) with SD Card Formatter, then I've used balenaEtcher to flash the downloaded image. This step was ok.
With this card, the Kobo was starting fine and asking for a wi-fi connection or a pc cable connection. Regardless of the choice, triyng to update the device (the image was containing 1 year old firmware), it fall on the black screen looping for restoring. So I've decided to no longer update the device. I've repeated the whole process once again without firmware update but after 10 minutes the kobo was stuck on current screen. I was able to normally switch it off and then on, the Kobo was starting fine, but after a while it freezes again. It always happen the same way. I can't understand if it is due to a bad image, a bad device or a bad installation (on a larger microSD maybe?). Can you please give me some hints?

I've sent you a PM with the links to my Kobo N249 Clara HD images. It sounds as if you have pretty much done the standard create new µSD card and install procedure. I would suggest using Minitool's Partition Wizard free edition to resize the FAT32 partition after imaging to allow use of more of the card's storage.

After reimaging, if you are outside of the EU, you can try using the Kobo's Desktop Windows application or for MacOS the Kobo's Desktop MacOS application to update your Clara HD. Alternatively, you can manually download the latest firmware from Patrick Gaskin's links to Kobo firmware downloads and manually copy it to your Clara HD's .kobo directory over a USB connection.

Another possible issue which some people have run into was with counterfeit µSD cards often found at low prices on Amazon and other ecommerce sites.
