Hi davidfor,

I have an Aura H20, and was wondering what I might need to have in case I need to restore the image some day. Can I make an image via USB and a Windows PC myself, or do you have an image I could get so as to have it in reserve in case I begin to tinker with my eReader, and fail miserably.

Thanks!

The Kobo firmware is not on a partition accessible via USB connection so the normal approach is to open the device, remove the SD card and take an image backup of it. I seem to remember that someone did post instructions on how to install a mod that would do the backup on the device itself to an SD card placed in the external slot on the device itself.

The other option is just to ask David to send you the link before hand.

It is worth noting that the restore WILL require you to open the device and remove the card.

Actually, I don't have an image for the H2O. Or maybe I do and just haven't uploaded it anywhere. I'll have to check when I get home.

Thanks, David, tried your routine:

"- Hold the power button in the off position for 20 seconds to ensure it is off.
- Hold the light button down and turn the device on."

That did the trick..it's BACK!

Unfortunately, though, all reading stats are gone...don't know it there's a way to reset that to correct number (hours/books read)?

In any case - thanks so much for the help!!

Jeff

Good to hear.

The reading stats are stored in the database on the device. You will get some back for books from Kobo after a sync or two. But for sideloaded books, unless you have a backup of the database, there isn't a way to recreate them. If you are a calibre user, you can use my Kobo Utilities plugin to backup the database and set the reading status of the books.

My kobo Aura hd froze yesterday and attempting to restart a few times, a recovery message showed up, i pressed yes, and then it froze again(blank screen). Since then it wouldn't respond to basic or factory reset(nothing show up on the screen, only the led blinks on reset button press). I even tried after 4+ hrs charging. When I try to start it, the led blinks and the screen flickers, but then nothing comes up on the screen.

Long story short, I ended up opening up the reader, by mistake formatted the int sd upon the windows popup. Could someone please pass me a copy of the factory image? I'm hoping I can flash it on to the int sd with the flash drive image writer?

Thanks

Flashing the image to the int sd card brought life back to the reader. I flashed using the flash drive image writer. Thanks a lot David!!

Hi guys,

My Kobo Aura HD is froze, I checked the internal SD is corrupt so I have a new micro SD. Any chance someone sends me a link with SD image, so that I can format the SD card and put the image back on it?

Thank you in advance
