Aura E2 kobo aura 2 dont register and brick

lucas890 · 08-19-2026, 06:40 PM

Hi, I have one Kobo Aura 2 N236 (complete) and one more mobo. The old SD was corrupted, so i did the image with the v1 file, did all the steps, and when inserted, it showed the page where to choose the language (i was happy but not for long). When it's time to choose the wifi, i can see all the networks, but i can't access them (it says something about public network and then impossible to connect). If i try to connect it to the PC app, it just keeps loading forever (more than 30 min).
If i turn it off and on, it just goes black for a second and then white screen with blinking LED.
I have this problem with both mobos, but i don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

Please help me. Thanks in advance

UPDATE: I managed to make it work. I changed the sd card and i tried to restore it as soon as it turned into the connect to wifi page, and it started the restoring process.
Then it came back to the setup page and the wifi still didn't work, but the desktop app did, so i managed to update it and finish the setup (if the app says something about an internet connection problem, just keep pressing "retry" and it will work). The wifi worked at the end.
