It may be possible that multiple updates are getting crossed in the ether
See this thread where it's reported that 4.4.9349 is available https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=286522 And that the 4.4.3944 update had issues with the KA1 which did/did not seem to get its own replacement which was only slightly different in size... I think I'll wait this update out, the issues it fixes, SD cards needing to be named to be seen by the Kobo, and downloaded kepubs not being marked as finished when they're done don't affect me. However the issue of not being able to use my KA1 would affect me. |

I think that this firmware link should be removed and all patching closed for it. As My KA1 just updated to 4.4.9349. there are obviously some major bugs because of the fast release of this update.

The files nickel and libnickel.so.1.0.0 changed in the updated mark6 firmware, but I checked all the patches in the attachment to post #1 and they are still okay to apply to both the mark3-5 and the updated mark6 files.
Just to be certain, these are the md5sums of the files I checked: mark3-5: Code:
10a74062dfc00dbeea6c015dbef7ea86 libnickel.so.1.0.0 (12,147,092 bytes) 1e7a1fda33d5181b8eee42dde8b26c94 nickel (5,660,352 bytes) Code:
79ef82205d71c35fcf7819dab72049e0 libnickel.so.1.0.0 (12,147,092 bytes) d3ceaecd896e5b19bf6d989d3f3f2668 nickel (5,660,352 bytes) But if you updated a mark6 device via wi-fi or via the desktop software then the situation could be a bit tricky, so to play safe it might be best to sideload the good mark6 firmware before patching, just in case.

Normally the 4 files which get patched (nickel, libnickel.so.1.0.0, etc) are identical across the various mark3-6 versions of the firmware, so it doesn't matter which one you extract them from during the patch process. However, when I was preparing my patch files last night I didn't have a reliable mark6 version so I extracted the 4 files from the mark5 version. As GeoffR says, nickel and libnickel.so.1.0.0 changed between 4.4.9344 and 4.4.9349. This firmware number is hard-coded in libnickel.so.1.0.0 and I suspect is used to populate the Settings - Device Information data. I'm fairly confident that after the initial upgrade of my two mark6 devices (with the correct mark6 firmware) the Device Info would have been correctly set to 4.4.9349. However, after installing the patched libnickel.so.1.0.0 file, Device Info was set back to 4.4.9344 because that's the value in the mark5 version of libnickel.so.1.0.0. Anyone with only one device to patch probably won't have run into this problem because they'll have used the same markn firmware for both the initial sideloaded upgrade and for the patching process. |

I've updated the warning in post #1 to reflect that the mark6 firmware reports two different firmware versions 4.4.9344 or 4.4.9349.
