If I want to downgrade to the previous firmware version, all I should do is to sideload into the .kobo directory the previous firmware?

Just updated my KA1, do not use this update. I bricked it twice, thinking maybe there was a problem with the software. There is, so I would recommend waiting to see what comes of this, and if a new update will come out. As soon as the update completed, my KA1 rebooted to a black/grey screen, left to deliver something gone for 30 mins came back to same thing. Re downloaded firmware with link supplied by PeterT (more reliable source afaic) and repeat performance. Going back to previous firmware till things settle down.

Bottom line just wait and things will settle down. I don't have an issue to redo things, but it can be a big PIA to do and for some that equates to an even Bigger PIA. regards Jack |

You can, but if its working why would you? And if you have not done this update and you do this update and you brick your device, you will not be able to sideload to go back.

generally no, and I understand about the ghosting. So if that's your reason than there should be no issue. You can back things up though if want just in case.

Do bear in mind that there is only -one- issue that this update fixes that could affect the KA1, and that is that purchased kepubs aren't marked as finished when you're done reading them.
That's it. Nothing else in this update changes anything for the KA1. So keep that in mind before rushing to get this update. |

I recovered my KA1 (but lost all my books). I know have to look at how to put my books into collections using Calibre because I don't want to spend like hours again to sort my books on the device itself... Edit: It seems that everything I need is here. Last edited by raca339; 05-19-2017 at 01:53 AM. |
