Hi,
I need an sd image for a bricked Kobo Aura HD model 204B.
As an aside, what is the largest internal sd card that is supported?
Thanks

My Aura HD keeps hanging on the Restoring screen.
Reboots & Hard Resets do not help, so I guess I will need a new internal SD card.

Can someone provide a SD card image please?

Thanks!

Thank you DNSB / David!!!

I was able to boot up my Aura HD again with the SD Image.

NB:
After re-assembling my Aura HD, the touchscreen was not responding anymore.
The 2 black sticky tapes on the left and right side of the screen, were stuck on the sides of the screen.
I had to peel open the tape a bit, so I could see the IR senders and receivers again on the sides.
After putting back the cover again, the touchscreen was working again.

NB2: The touchscreen only works when the top cover is attached, because of the IR lights.

Could you be a bit more specific? Kobo has used Aura in the name of several different ereaders. Please note that the Kobo Aura does not removable internal storage so no image is available for it.

Out of curiosity, what relationship does the issue with a Kobo Aura have to your issue with a Kobo Aura HD? Also where did what0s come from? I don't remember seeing that user name on MobileRead posting the the Kobo forums.

I am sorry, it was late at night, it was a typo. There's no what0s user... Just a spanish-speaking mistake...
I mean

My aura hd is bricked, the same way as is explained in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=296070

Anyway, thank you DNSB

Screen always show "Please plug in your ereader to charge" always. It was charging for 12 hours, no matter what's the charger or cable used.

It was the internal sd, it was not properly inserted... But, while opening i broke the screen, so right now there's no step back...

Time to get a new ebook reader.

Need an image of a bricked Aura HD N204B.

Gentlemen,

I have a bricked Kobo Aura HD. I have tried to follow the sticky some folks have very kindly added. None has worked.

I need directions with the image as well.

Problem Description
The light or lamp switch appears to light the device but it remains a brick. A blue light next to the lamp button flickers indicating that it's not completely dead. Power Up doesn't do anything. Additionally the fourth of the screen vertically displays a missing image of the Normal Sleeping mode from the last ebook that was open. The USB power cord when plugged in seems to charge the battery but nothing works.

It is kindly requested to provide detailed documentation on any other software that may be needed to restart the device.

An additional question. During the reimaging process is it advisable for me to upgrade the SD card with a bigger capacity?

If someone needs to see the images of the dead screen kindly DM me and I can send you the images of the dead device for further help.

I thank all help in advance, you folks are a big help to the Community.

The second link in the PM is basically the instructions.

And yes, I would recommend using a new µSD card to avoid potential issues with the original card being damaged.
