I downloaded the firmware file : kobo-update-4.26.16704.zip and placed it in the source file.

I ran the bat file on Windows 10 and generated the KoboRoot.tgz file in the out folder with a success message in the generated log file:

KoboPatch::WriteOutput
Removing old output tgz 'out/KoboRoot.tgz'
Closing tar
Closing gz
Writing buf to output 'out/KoboRoot.tgz'
Checking patched KoboRoot.tgz for consistency
sum:49841468 == expected:49841468

I am using the correct kobopatch version, from the readme file:

This is for use with firmware 4.26.16704.

Placed the KoboRoot.tgz in the .kobo folder and rebooted many times. I also did the entire process again and nothing.

What I wanted the most was Don't grab exclusive access to event0: yes so my miniclock would show on button pushes, but

I have obviously done something wrong. Any ideas??

It's not 100% clear to me what you think isn't working.

You've enabled 5 patches. Are you saying none of them seem to work or just the one you singled out, Don't grab exclusive access to event0?

If there had been something wrong with your kobopatch.yaml file there wouldn't have been an output KoboRoot.tgz file created. Just to double-check, I ran kobopatch myself using your posted kobopatch.yaml.

I would also note

What for? The device will reboot itself once. With the patch, you have everything right. If the device does not reboot itself, and you do not have ALL the patches working, you put KoboRoot.tgz somewhere in the wrong place.

Just to expand on my previous reply ... if the above is the only patch not working it may be because your miniclock.cfg file isn't correct for a Kobo device with buttons. There should be a line in there which says:

input_devices=1 0

Sorry for the late reply. This post went into moderation and then I was working.

Thanks for the replies! I had clearly done something wrong but have now got everything working. I wound up doing a reset on my Libra, and starting all over and got the patches to take.

Thank you for trying to help!
