Remove the SD card from your H2O and insert it into your computer. Make a full backup of the SD card, in case anything goes wrong. Mount the partitions and figure out which devices correspond to the recovery, system, and data partitions. These will look like /dev/sdLN or /dev/mmcblkNpN. Unmount the system and data partitions, but leave the recovery partition mounted. Look for the /etc/init.d/rcS file on the recovery partition. This will outline the steps that you need to follow in order to restore the system and data partitions to its factory state. Do NOT copy and paste the commands. You will need to adjust the device names in order to reflect the device names on your computer. These will probably be different from the device names on the H2O. The general idea is that you will reformat the system and data partitions, remount those partitions, then extract the recovery archives to those partitions. Reinsert the SD card into your H2O, then reassemble. For good measure, perform a factory reset from the software since the recovery script performs some cleanup tasks that you may have ignored earlier. |

The problem as I see it is that if you need a new image for an H2O, then the h2O should be fixed/replaced under warranty and not opened up and this rick of never having a working H2O. By opening it, you have just blown the warranty. So contact Kobo before opening as once you open it, you could be well and truly screwed.

If you still see the loading squares [ ] [ ] [ ] at bootup, you should be able to trigger the firmware reset using the reset button 5x times (press when the squares show up, until it shows the factory reset screen instead). No need for either image or service in that case.
My Kobo is certainly no longer waterproof after opening it; but that's not a feature I need. As for blowing the warranty, technically that is the case as soon as you start modding it in any way. Firmware mods can brick the reader, you can hardly blame Kobo for it. |
