It won't do any good to try the patches from earlier firmware versions, they will just result in an error when the patching script runs. |

Do any of the patches change the book cover size when in collections view?

Hi Geoff,
Thank you very much. I´m glad, that this very useful Patch is back, I missed it a lot. Runs perfectly under FW 4.2.8283 on Aura ONE. Now the last modification, which is still absent on my ONE, is the screensaver-Mod. Regards Peter |

There are three versions that must match for success: 1. version of the firmware downloaded from Kobo, e.g. kobo-update-4.2.8283.zip 2. version of the patches, e.g. patch_kobo_4028283.zip 3. version of the firmware already on the device, e.g. 4.2.8232 shown in Settings > Device information If 1. & 2. don't match then you will probably get an error when running the patch script as you discovered, although in some cases there might be no error and a KoboRoot.tgz file will be created, depending on which patches were selected. This could happen if only multi-version patches were selected. If 3. doesn't match 1. & 2. then the KoboRoot.tgz file might be greated without errors but it will be the wrong version for the device and that usually means the patched device won't boot and a factory reset will be required. |
