So, either the update takes very long, or I'm in a bootloop now.

I noped out of the sideloaded update once I checked the files, the download link supposedly is for the Libra 2 (kobo9) but the files inside the package reveal that it is for a Mediatek device and not a Freescale one.

Thanks. The 4.39 firmware I downloaded is for the Libra 2 1st edition that I have. Most of the patches from 4.38 that I use do install in 4.39. And one of the ones that didnt work is not much of an issue as the line-height setting can be put in the config file if it gets changed.

For what it may be worth, before I tried the update on my Clara HD and Sage, I backed up the USB exposed partition and only used the KoboRoot.tgz to do the update since neither device was going to benefit from any of the system updates.
The Clara HD was happy with the update, my Sage went into a boot loop and needed a factory reset (page turn button/power button manual factory reset) to recover. Sadly, my major reason for trying the update was to see if it fixed the database not closed on USB connect issue. Not sure if I want to try the number of connections that the Clara HD needs to trigger error (about 1 in 50 attempts had calibre complaining about a corrupt database while the Sage complained almost every time I connected from reading a book (ePub or kepub). |
