[PROBLEM] Kobo Aura One freezing after firmware

holysmoer · 12-15-2018, 04:01 AM

As in the title,after I tried to install the last firmware manually (I did in the past without problems) the Kobo don't start properly. I attach short video to understand better. I thanks everyone could help me somehow.

Some more info:
- I have Kobo Aura One since 14 months without any problems
- previous version was 4.2 and I manually update to 4.12 (the last one in december)
- I just copy (as in the past) the kobo files in the .ko directory

Sorry, the video doesn't really show anything. It shows the dancing squares which are normal when you start a Kobo device. Then the screen goes black. Does it power off? Something else? There is also no indication of whether you had simply turned it on, or done something else. Or what happened after you tried to install the update.

But, you will probably need to do a manual factory reset as describe on https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kob...Aura_Edition_2.
