I just got a used Aura HD and trying to do a firmware update on it seems to have bricked it, there's 3 dots and a C- with a circle and slash. Going to replace the SD card but i need a recovery image for it, please.

I have read through as much of this forum as I can take. I think page 34. My god there is a lot to talk about.
So I use my Aura every day and several times a day. For years I haven't gone to sleep without using it to read. Now, I am kind of a dummy and I copied a different file into the KoboRoot.tar.gz position. in an effort to use it as a distraction free writing device as sell as per "kobowriter". So I was a dummy. But, before I did that i thought 'well to avoid complications, I will copy everything from my KOBO to my computer before trying, including the original KoboRoot.tar.gz.' It did not work. I tried removing the internal SD card (opening up the back and sliding the card out from the board) and copying the saved files onto it and it does not work. I am kinda at my wits end with it. What has to go onto the SD card to make it reboot normally? And if you know, how can I get Kobowriter to work? Thanks for any help you can give me. I need things to read all the time and am getting very sad at the though of my Aura not working. |

If this doesn't work, try restoring a disc image to the μSD card. The μSD card in your Kobo has 3 partitions and under Windows, you can only see the FAT32 partition that would be exposed over a USB connection. The system and restore partition would require you to remove the μSD card from your Kobo and then copying the entire card to an image file. I've sent you a PM with a link to the Aura HD image file and a link to the instructions. As for Kobowriter? I'm only known one person who played with it and it broke his Kobo horribly when he did a firmware update. Someone else may have more input. |

Hello,
I would like the link to the SD card for the Aura as nothing else has worked to unbrick my Nia so far. I'm willing to experiment to try and bring it back. Would anyone send me the link ? |
