Glo Using DB Browser

grapenose · Today, 03:20 AM

I have been trying to access my Kobo Glo N613.
Have tried installing new firmware but visiting Kobo Desktop and having it upgraded results in losing access. A factory reset gets it functioning again but if I log on again I get the same result, a jagged black line down the middle of the screen and nothing works.
I would like to try editing the KoboReader.sqlite file to get over the need to register. Trying to edit this file as suggested in other posts dose not work for me.
I have installed DB Browser and this seems a better way to edit the file but as yet I have been unable to avoid the registering requirement.
Has anyone used this method to edit the file and can give me instructions on how to proceed.
Thanks

If you register using a dummy email address (Kobo does not seem to do any validation on the email address other than looking like an email address (plotski09@somewheres.net for instance), does your Glo then work? That will at least let you know if the attempt to fake register is your issue or if your Glo has other problems.
