How do I ssh into the Kobo Aura One in 2017

iBurger2 · 05-03-2017, 04:54 PM

I am curious if this is still possible to SSH into your Kobo reader in 2017. I am reading posts from before, way before. I honestly don't want a reader where I cant ssh into. The whole point of buying Kobo is that it would be a Linux box, just like my other machines.

Can someone please confirm if it is possible, and please share how he or she did it? (pref link to script) Much much appreciated.

The same way you would in 2018.

The first way does not work with FW 4.6.9995 (or any other FW from May on). I tried it and had to do a firmware reset after it.
The 2nd way seems to be no better as the author states himself.
The reason seems to be that the inittab way doesn't seem to work anymore.
Does anyone have a KoboRoot.tgz or start script for (k)filemon stat starts dropbear along with WiFi?

KoboLauncher has UsbNet tool (+new dropbear + new sftp-server from openssh)

P.S. Works with latest FW
