Instructions for patching firmware 4.3.9084

See the Kobo firmware 4.3.9084 discussion thread for information about what has changed in this firmware version.

See the Index to the Metazoa firmware patches thread for a description of what some of these patches do.


Before starting:

1. Make sure your Kobo ereader is already running firmware version 4.3.9084 (59faa7bc47). If not, then you need to upgrade before applying this patch.

2. Check that your battery is well charged.


Patching from Windows, Linux (i386/x86_64), or Mac (OS X 10.8-10.9, i386/x86_64):

1. Download and extract patch_kobo_4039084.zip (attached).

2. Download the Kobo firmware archive version 4.3.9084 for your device (See this thread) and copy it into the 4.3.9084_source/ subdirectory. (Don't unzip the firmware.)

3. Read and edit all the *.patch files in the 4.3.9084_source/ subdirectory in order to: choose which patches to enable (patch_enable=`yes`) or disable (patch_enable=`no`); and to change some of the replacement values to suit your device and preferences.

4. In Windows double-click 4.3.9084bat; For Linux/Mac open a terminal, change to the patch_kobo_4039084/ subdirectory, and run ./4.3.9084.sh from the command line.

5. If there were no errors, copy the resulting KoboRoot.tgz from the 4.3.9084_target/ subdirectory to the .kobo directory on your ereader.

6. Safely eject and unplug the device, which will then update and restart.


To return your ereader to its original unpatched state:

1. Edit all the 4.3.9084_source/*.patch files to disable all patches (set patch_enable = `no` for every patch).

2. Repeat steps 4-6 of the procedure above.


Note that the following patches are enabled by default:

`Fix page breaks bug`
`Default ePub monospace font (Courier)`
`Custom left & right margins`
`Custom page refresh options`
`Fix three KePub fullScreenReading bugs`
Attached Files
File Type: zip patch_kobo_4039084.zip (501.6 KB, 705 views)

Notes:

Be extra careful checking the version number of the firmware your device is running. There have been a lot of different 4.3 versions released, and the version number on the device must match exactly with the version number used for patching.

I've attached an updated patch_kobo_4039084.zip that includes the missing libnickel.so.1.0.0 patches from 4.3.8966, an updated `Force user line spacing in KePubs` patch that should work with more books, and an updated 4.3.9084.sh script which should give a more useful error message if the downloaded firmware is missing or corrupt.

Thank you Oren for doing the rest of the patches. I'll start a thread sometime soon and try to explain how I update those patches which make changes to function calls, such as `Freedom to advanced fonts control`.

Here are the missing/updated patches for those who want to update libnickel.so.1.0.0 via copy/paste instead of downloading the zip:

`ePub fixed/adjustable top/bottom margins`
Spoiler:
Code:
<Patch>
patch_name = `ePub fixed/adjustable top/bottom margins`
patch_enable = `no`
# patch_group = `ePub padding-bottom alternatives`
#
## This patch sets the @page margin sizes in epubs, overriding any @page margin
## set in the book's CSS stylesheet (but not in the XPGT stylesheet, see below).
##
## By default the top and bottom margins are set to be adjustable, their size
## similar to the left/right margin size set by the adjustment slider. There
## are options to set the top and/or bottom margin to a fixed size instead.
##
## Note that @page margins are seperate from (and overlap) both the body margins
## set in the book and the left/right margins set from the adjustment slider,
## and are added to any page margins set in the Adobe XPGT stylesheet if the
## book has one (e.g. page-template.xpgt). For this reason you might want to
## consider using the Modify ePub Calibre plugin to remove any body margins and
## XPGT stylesheet margins before sideloading the book, or perhaps enabling the
## `Ignore ePub Adobe XPGT stylesheet (page-template.xpgt)` patch.
##
## Also note that a side-effect of this patch is that the body padding-bottom is
## removed from the built-in stylesheet, which means that there will no longer
## be a blank line added automatically at the end of chapters.
##
## See at the bottom of the patch for replacement values that can be used to
## tune the size of the margins to suit different devices and reading modes.

Thank you for your work. I applied the patch to my H2O, including 'My 24 line spacing values' and "Freedom to advanced fonts control", used the same settings as usual (the default ones already present in the file). Opening a KEPUB file, any file, causes an instant reboot of the device, unfortunately. I'm afraid I cannot do any further testing as I don't have time right now.

Also, I'd like to point out that unlike the patch for the former firmware, most of the patches present in the nickel.patch file are set to 'yes' instead of 'no' -- including 'Removing footer', 'Reducing header by 50%', 'Custom line-spacing in details box', the dictionary one etc. As I'm not interested in any of these I had to set them all to 'no', but I almost didn't notice, so I thought I would point that out and maybe suggest that all of these patches are set to 'no' on default, as they are very user-specific and I think only a minority of users are interested in all of them.

I applied the patch to my H2O, including 'My 24 line spacing values' and "Freedom to advanced fonts control", used the same settings as usual (the default ones already present in the file). Opening a KEPUB file, any file, causes an instant reboot of the device, unfortunately. I'm afraid I cannot do any further testing as I don't have time right now.
The same on my H2O and Glo and Glo HD. However, if I activate the option 'My 10 line spacing values', everything will work again.

I applied the "Freedom to advanced fonts control"-patch and it's working until I try to click on the sideloaded font's "Advanced" button, then the device restarts.

Thanks, I didn't notice that.

I do not see "search in library by default" has that been done away with? Perhaps it is not needed any more. (All my other Kobos are on 3.19)

I'm still using 3.13.1. GeoffR say it is not longer needed, I don't remember way.

Only 4.3.8966.sh in Linux/Mac, it will make KoboRoot.tgz file, you might want to read instructions again in post #1.
