Trying to resurrect an N289...ugh
Does anyone have an internal SD card image for an N289 and/or update files? Mine is on 1.4.something. I have Googled around looking for the files, but all firmwares/images I have found seem to start at mark 3. Any help would be appreciated!

Jon, he already asked in that thread and got the answer that I do not have an image for an Kobo N289 Wifi.

I was just sent a copy of an image that is supposed to be for the N289 and will send the link to FishSticks for testing.

Well, messing around with the sdcard image i have left after the borked update i got it to the point where it wants an upgrade file. Anyone have one stashed away? Model is N289. Or Kobo wifi. Or kobo2...or mark 2. They used a very confusing naming scheme in the beginning. Thanks all!

If it's forcing you to provide the update file, just provide an empty one. Or modify the update script somewhere in /etc to dont do anything after update.

Well if you can't figure it out and you are technical and like linux you could port inkbox to the device
