Nia I need a Kobo Nia SD image - Page 2

maggan · 10-04-2021, 01:06 PM

I'm getting my Nia tomorrow. Is there a way to get an image without disassembling the thing?

davidfor · 10-04-2021, 09:46 PM

No. You need access to the full card, which is not accessible when you connect the device. You will need to take the card out of the device to do that.

Ah. Is the disassembly as hard as on the kobo aura 2nd edition? There was a lot of hard to break glue and stuff.

It's relatively easy to open Kobo Nia, there is no adhesive at all. And you can use the Memory Upgrade Mod to copy the internal SD card to an external one and then make an image of it, if you have a working one. I need one too. I bought a cheap broken Nia that doesn't boot. The screen looks fine, so may be the SD card is the problem.

I bought a second Kobo Nia with broken display and switched the SD cards. The one that was not booting started working fine. Later on when I wanted to copy the image from the working SD card to the not-working one, and connected the second one, Windows complained that the FAT32 partition needs to be repaired (it also offers to format the other two partitions, which you should NOT). When it repaired it, that Kobo Nia started booting fine.
So if your Kobo Nia doesn't boot, try to repair the FAT32 partition. If that doesn't help, let me know and I can provide you an SD card image. It's 800 MB compressed though. And I think the image has with no books on it.

Hi dmilanov,
I ran into the same problem (no image saved, "bricked" device).
I tried inserting the SD card in the PC, however, no error was shown. Running checkdsk /f didn't help either, The screen on my NIA just stays white.
Could you be so kind to upload the SD card image somewhere?

I'd be very thankful!

@dmilanov,
never mind, some kind kind person has sent me an image in the meantime.

tomeggleston · 04-08-2022, 12:36 PM

Do you have a copy of the image at all still?

mariellofrappa · 04-15-2022, 12:36 PM

@hauke, do you still have the image? could you send me?

I have a bricked Nia, too, with the white screen and a blinking led.

Thank you very very much in advance.

If anyone manages to get an image I would really appreciate it

ed1993 · 12-17-2022, 02:50 PM

I also find myself in need of an SD image for the Nia. Thanks so much for any help!

If someone could send me a link to a Kobo Nia image, I could add it to the other images for which I can send links to those who need one.
