Mini Setup failure after factory reset

Rockin · 05-19-2021, 10:32 PM

I had to factory reset my Mini. It starts up fine now but it wants to be setup. I have chosen both via computer or via wireless 2 or 3 times each and it always gets stuck (wireless) or errors, try again (computer kobo app) at the step checking for updates. I never get to the point of entering my kobo account. Any ideas??

I was able to manually copy the latest firmware upgrade to the .kobo directory. After power cycle, it performed the upgrade. During setup it stated latest firmware is already there so setup moved along to entering the account.

All good now!

For the record, this is expected. See this earlier post for an explanation why and what to do. Which you already have.
