I always have to ask, how are you doing a "hard reset"? If you are using the pinhole to reset the device, all that is doing is turning it off and on. Do a manual factory and see what that does.

Dear Community Dear davidfor,

our Kobo Aura HD passed away some weeks ago. Only life sign are the 3 round dots. All kind of resets are not successful. Therefore we are looking for an image to reactivate the reader hopefully by using the image with sd card slot.

Thank you and regards from Austria

And I would suggest using a new SD card. That sort of behaviour can suggest a failing card.

Hi
I also seem to have a dead SD card in my Aura HD.
Can someone PM me a link to a new image so I can replace the old card ?

Thanks,
Paul

Aura HD Bricked
I also bricked my Aura HD. I try to put Firmware on the Device using my PC, after disconnecting from the PC the Screen got black. Then I turned it on, Screen is white and the LED is blinking.

I waited for 30 Min. nothing happened. I charged my Reader for two hours, but still it is not starting.

So I turned it off.

What can I do now ? Help appreciated

PM sent. But..

The first thing to try is a manual factory reset using the buttons. Then try the image if that doesn't work.

Thank you for the Image, I keep it for Emergency.
Luckily I found your Advice in Post No.53 which resurrected my Aura HD. Your Information was very helpful - cause I did not find anywhere else any Info about restoring my Device with use of the Light Button. So I am very grateful for that

Hey davidfor,

Could I also grab a copy of hte Aura HD SD image please? I've tried factory resets, and updates, and I'm just stuck in a restore loop.

Thanks in advance!

Hey davidfor,

May you please send me a copy of the Aura HD SD Image. My Kobo is stuck on the "Restoring" screen. At this point my computer won't recongnize it when I plug it in, and neither a soft reset or manual factory reset has worked to bring it back.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I did that. I could barely see the image on the screen and it actually works, but the image is almost completely fade (white) so I guess the screen is broken.

Thanks anyway
