My "solution" on my N289 is to pull the uSD card for an image backup before I installed the update. Some paranoia due to the all the reports with almost every update for the WiFis about firmware updates bricking them.

Even sadder is that the updates are still being pushed to the devices even though Kobo knows it's going to brick them. Which is why I haven't bought any books from Kobo in two years. (Except for one that I seem to remember that I could download as an ePub and load through ADE, but I'd have to double-check that.)

@PeterT: Thanks for your efforts. I know it must be even more frustrating for you to have an open channel to them and still get no change.

Hi Folks.

Looks like my mother's N647 got the update today to make it a nice little brick.

I have the internal SD card removed and I would be grateful if someone could provide the N647 image.

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm facing the same problem after the great 1.9.11 update, my e-reader is almost unusable. Could you send me the link for the image?

Thanks

Which image do you need, N647, N647B, or N289?
