Clara BW Can't enable sideloaded mode, it keeps reverting

Mango9471 · Today, 12:53 PM

I have a brand new Kobo Clara BW ereader. I don't want to use WiFi to set it up, so I tried enabling the sideloaded mode by connecting it to my PC and editing the ereader.conf file, as many others have done before. After disconnecting the USB-C cable from my PC, I try setting up the device again. However, it still asks me for the WiFi code. Subsequently, I reconnect the ereader to my PC to see what went wrong. I notice that the sideloaded mode is now reverted to "false" for no reason.

What should I do to fix this?
