Thank you David,
In the DM the downloads are available
and the E-version works for me
but the zip file is either corrupted
during the unzipping it stops (my mac zip will not unzip it at all)
it makes an .img of 28 somewhat GB and stops right before the finishline...
something to do with what?

Hello everyone, I have this laptop with a motherboard model 37NB-E60U20+4A2, which all indications suggest is a Kobo Mia. The symptoms are a blank screen, a blinking LED, and after trying to reset it for 30 seconds and disconnecting the battery, nothing works. I removed the memory card and tested it with my computer, but when I tried to copy it, it failed. I need help because I'm completely ignorant about this. Can I reuse the same memory card after formatting it? I haven't done that yet. Do I need to recover an image or can I restore the existing one? I would greatly appreciate any help and advice. Thank you very much. Best regards from Badajoz.
I would not recommend using the same µSD card so purchasing a new card is recommended. I have made a request to have your Private Messages enabled so I can send you the links once that is done.

Not sure what issue you are seeing. The file extracts without error using 7-Zip on my Windows box.

Here is a link to an alternate version of the image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OBO...ew?usp=sharing

Hello! Could you please send me the Kobo Clara HD image (N249).

I'm not sure if it a Rev B or not - how do I tell the difference?

The unit is frozen on a white screen, and the power LED is blinking. I can't do a reset of any kind in this state.

Fixed my Kobo, even previously broken wifi now works, I was getting suspecious that it was a hardware issue.
It also seems SD card was faulty too. Image writer gave several errors while inserting an image.

Thank you again David!
