Hello davidfor,

I removed the SD card to back it up and on replacement my Glo HD appears to be bricked, maybe my reader or software have a problem. Could you send me the image file please ?

Thanks for the image link davidfor.

I bought my Glo HD new from Japan and the serial number on the box doesn't follow the usual N followed by 12 digits format, it's N437-xx-xx-x-xx where the x's are letters. I have found the standard form serial number in your image file but I don't know if I can replace it with my serial number since there are only 10 characters after the N. What should I do ?

On the box for my Glo HD, there is a label with "Product no", "SN:" and two barcodes. The "Product no" looks like "N437-xx-xx-x-xx", and the "SN:" like "N437nnnnnnnnn". The latter agrees with the serial number displayed in the device settings.

Hello davidfor,

I've found that my box has two labels, the product number label has been stuck directly over the serial number label. I've been able to unpeel the top label sufficiently to be able to read the serial number beneath. I had already written the image that you provided to a new 16 GB card and found that this starts up and has allowed me to load and run xcsoar (a glide computer) so I may not have to modify the serial number on the card. I haven't tried to use the kobo as a reader yet, it may be that that would cause the serial number to be checked and require that I update it.

Thanks again.

@Designin: Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think many people set the serial number before they write the image to the card. From how I think it is used, it shouldn't matter.

Hi ,

unfortunately I learnt the hard way not to play with defrag on the SD card when attached to my PC, so now my Glo HD is bricked. :S

(If someone can send me the link to the SD image would be higly appreciated.)

Never mind, image not needed anymore, but thanks again.

Was being stupid. Tried to replace the SD at the same time but pulled image with Kobo attached to my machine instead of pulling it directly from the SD card.

Now backupped the Original SD and restored to larger SD ( + extend) and finally...it booted up.

Adding myself to the queue I was wondering if someone could send me the link to the Glo HD's image file. Thank you in advance!
