Touch Bricked Kobo Touch?

TheMightyCondor · 02-02-2023, 10:04 PM

I got a Kobo touch second-hand and it's been stuck on this screen no matter what I've tried

I was hoping to flash a fresh SD card image to it, but I haven't been able to find one that's openly available and was wondering if anyone here has one.

Any other suggestions are much appreciated!

Which variety of Kobo Touch? There are images for the 905B and 905C but I don't have an image for N905 since it did not have a removable internal µSD card.

Hi David, It's a Kobo Touch N905B. I think the battery is also toast, do you know where I could get an approximate replacement?

Thanks!

Sorry but I can't be of help finding a replacement battery for a Touch. Last time I looked for a replacement battery, I ended up searching on the battery part # and then going for what was a same size replacement which needed the connector transferred over.

No worries! I’ve managed to modify an iPod battery to use in the meantime. Would you happen to have a 905B or 905C image or know where to find one?
