Thanks David for the link.
I have problem with the files though. First zip file when unzip came up with raw file, when unzip it came up with unexpected end of data fault. Second one unzip and flash image came up with write error during processing. I tried downloading couple times and flashing but always with the same output.

I downloaded both .zip files from the links I sent you. I then unzipped them with 7-Zip and neither gave an error message during the extraction. Below are the SHA-256 hashes for the .zip files and their extracted image files.

Code:

Kobo_Libra2.zip: E9B451AA3693459D5ECAFF486AEECDD00ECB058B1976BF1720573918B2DC8ECF
Kobo_Libra2vE.zip: CB66A7891A32347FBA4C50A016CFD088CA846F7CFBC3DABCFB72726F37897F45
backup_Libra2_RevE_nosn.img: 0A21100016F441828744556CB7BF41F031191A8264AED26C156043F76B7FE5A0
kobo_libra2.raw: 9A3231C439999593F0B4D53062AA1FCBE3CA3CCE247DF86198413D8340EEAB38

Note the the raw file is an disk image file and should not be extracted. The write error might suggest that you either ran out of space on the µSD card that you are writing to or that the µSD card has issues. Generally, I recommend using a new card instead of the original.

Thanks for checking it for me. I will try do it again.To be clear, after unzipping it final files to image write should be .img?

No, the .raw file is the same as an .img file.

I just found one rather odd item. I've been using https://etcher.balena.io/ for writing image files and it does not seem to care if what the image file extension is. When I wrote the kobo_libra2.raw file, there was no issue. When I used the USB Duplicator Image Writer tool, it wrote the image and then threw a write error message. I then used the SD Card Association formatter to format the card before writing and the error did not occur.
