Hey, I came across this forum after my Kobo wifi (N647B) got bricked in the latest firmware update. Tried all the usual stuff, contacted Kobo themselves - all to no avail.

I've got it open and retrieved the SD card already, so I wondered if I could get the default image to see if I can resurrect it? Here's hoping!

And thank you in advance for providing this service!

1.9.11 on the WiFi has been around for a couple of months. The first report I had was in mid November because calibre was no longer recognising the updated device. At the time Kobo said they had been rolling it out for a few weeks. The build date was shown as 28/10/2013.

Apart from the calibre issue, I don't remember seeing any problems. Any font problems are among the first to be raised. Margins are also a popular discussion point, but, have you checked the settings for these? Kobo has changed the range in recent firmware, so you might need to adjust this.

The chapter titles are interesting. Where are you seeing these? At the beginning of the chapter? In the footer or in the TOC? I can think of reasons for the change with the latter two, but not the first. Of course the simplest is that you have updated the copy of the book at some time and it is only now been reprocessed to pick up the changes to the TOC. Was the book sideloaded using calibre and the extended driver?

At the moment, I suspect an incomplete upgrade. As there is a download link for 1.9.11 in the firmware link thread, I would download that an apply it manually. That generally solves this problem. Alternatively, do a factory reset so that the firmware can be installed over that.

If you want to revert to the older firmware, you can take a copy of the internal SD card from the non-upgraded WiFi. Then apply this to the SD card in your WiFi. I would recommend getting another card and using that just in case things don't work. The instructions for doing this for the newer devices should work for the WiFi.

Last thought: The upgrade was done via the Kobo desktop application. Was this also upgraded?
Hi,
can you please share SD factory img of N647 with me?
I still have the same problem as described above.
Thanks in advance

Hi,

I am looking for a sd image for a Kobo Glo HD N437. I am hoping someone has one here they can send me.

Thanks!

And for the sake of my sanity (yes, there is a little left), could we keep the requests for each model inside their own threads.

PM sent in response to the PM.

And everyone, I prefer posts in these threads. And a reasonable amount of time before a second request to let me see the first.

Which Kobo WiFi do you have, N647, N647B, or 289? Once we know that we can send you the correct file so you can write the image file onto the internal SD card.

Sorry, I am very new to this. The device was a gift and I have the same error described here. How can I find out what version it is?

The serial number is: KBN6470B3B27626

Thank you!

The serial number suggests it is either an N647 or N647B, but I don't really know how they work. The model number should be printed on the end of the device near the USB port.
