Hi,
I received the image for the Kobo N873 Libra H2O.
In the first posts, it was mentioned among those with an SD slot, but now that I opened it, I realize it doesn't have one.
How did they create the image? How do you flash it now?

The image was created using ADB/fastboot. At a point during the boot up of your Kobo N873, you can connect to it over ADB and either dd the internal storage to your computer or dd an existing image back to the device. I have never done this with a Libra H2O but from what the OP said, it was a matter of slowly (it took several hours) rewriting the internal storage from the image.

I left the image available for anyone who has the experience and tools to use it but, IMHO, it is not for the faint of heart. So far the only two people who have tried to use the image and were able to access their internal storage, have reported that their internal storage was damaged and so the device could not be recovered.

Hi, I'm looking for the stock SD image for a Kobo Glo HD (N437). I accidentally overwrote the internal microSD while trying InkBox and need to restore the original Kobo OS. My private messages are enabled. Thanks!
