Glo Using DB Browser

grapenose · Yesterday, 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.

Tried two emails and both failed.
Beginning to think that it is a problem with the Glo.
Did manage to get it working once, but the display was corrupted with bands across the screen and impossible to make anything work with finger touch.
Think its time to recycle but will keep the new battery.
Thanks for your help.

If you haven't replaced the µSD card yet, it might be an idea. I'll send you the link to the image.

Tried a couple of new SD cards. Neither made a difference

Where did you get the image to copy to the new µSD cards? And I am referring to the internal not the external card.

Link to Image came from you, I think

Speedy little devil you are!

I sent the link to the image and 7 minutes later you responded that you had tried a couple of µSD cards and they hadn't worked.
