There are several cases where firmware URLs no longer work. Search for "No longer available" in the wiki page. Can we find out the correct URLs at all? Or maybe we just don't care: most of these are 4+ years old.

Kobo's release engineering has certainly been... let's say "interesting"... over the years. Multiple releases with the same version? Multiple releases with the same version but different SVN/git revisions? Pulled releases? We've got 'em all...
Nice , also add the Device Firmware table, with the earliest and latest firmware for each device.
also rearrange the page.

EDIT: I add the "bogus line break", sorry i didn't see that you remove them, the long text compress the table make it less readable.

I know long lines make editing the table a bit awkward, but the table cell should wrap when you're reading the page normally.

There are some missing revision infos (the string in () after the version number). To fill these in I'm downloading one of the firmware zips, unzipping it, then untarring the KoboRoot.tgz, and then looking at the ./usr/local/Kobo/revinfo file. The first 10 hex characters seems to be what's being used in recent releases.

If anyone is bored and wants to fix the missing ones, there's a few and all assistance is welcomed

I add style="width: 800px;" to make it look better.

For the historians, there is 2.6.0
2.6.0 Mark 3: http://download.kobobooks.com/firmwa...date-2.6.0.zip
2.6.0 Mark 4: http://download.kobobooks.com/firmwa...date-2.6.0.zip

There is an alternative link to
3.1.0 Mark 4: http://download.kobobooks.com/firmwa...date-3.1.0.zip I did not check whether the content is the same as with the other link.

Is that intended to be the factory reset firmware, or release day firmware? They can be very different.

Question Aura(N514) Firmware?

If so, which is the latest and greatest firmware for Aura(N514)?

Please advise!

Connect to a WiFi and do a sync. Either it will update to the "latest and greatest" or it is already there. Otherwise, go to the Wiki link being discussed above and look.

The first firmware release by Kobo to specific the device, i knew it can be different from factory reset firmware, like in the Aura ONE factory reset firmware is 3.20.

I used the data from post 1 and 2, if you have more exact data do share, I am not so sure about the Mini, and don't have any about the Touch.

If you used posts in this thread, then it's the release firmware. I don't know if it is useful to show the factory reset firmware. Someone might find it interesting, but nobody should use them.

The only other thing I noticed is that the Touch 2.0 was released in September 2015, so it should be 3.18.0. But, you could justify it having the same as the Glo HD. And I have 3.20.7280 as the release firmware for the Aura ONE. But, I don't remember seeing a link posted for it.

So updating H2O is considered safe now? I see that the firmware is only released as Beta for H2O.
