I would say they removed the update rules for the early affiliates and it has gone back to using the last rule that supported all affiliates. FW 4.4.9298 hadn't been rolled out everywhere and stopped sending it out. That's the hassle I have with your site. It doesn't tell the full story, and it probably can't.

I got the black screen too. I tried several times, with automatic update and also manual update, but no chance to get back my kobo.
I know I can downgrade to older firmware, but I would like to ask if there is a way to block the automatic upgrade because I need to download again my books from the store and as soon as I connect it to internet, it finds the new broken firmware Last edited by scegghy; 05-18-2017 at 05:05 AM. |

Argh, I have the curse of the black screen!
Good thing I only put this update on my Aura One, because I had only just got round to re-adding all my books from my SD card into their collections on my H2O. |

Is there an easy way for a novice to tell the difference between the faulty update and the good one? Is there a difference in file size? Is there a way to compute a checksum in Windows without installing extra software?
I downloaded the mk6 update and the filesize is 84,648,827 bytes, but I have no way to tell whether that is the faulty one or the good one. md5sum: b0208d75e861176f504df0a1ce2ddbf2 kobo-update-4.4.9344.zip (Edit: I sideloaded the mk4 update to my Glo with no problems, it had a filesize of 100,580,921 bytes, md5sum: 5a1017aca59b6d11ec2ab5134a900898 kobo-update-4.4.9344.zip) Last edited by GeoffR; 05-18-2017 at 06:21 AM. Reason: mk4 filesize and md5sum |
