Kobo Aura One : Manual Setup Using Calibre
I am in a country where Kobo Aura One WiFi setup sites seem blocked.
* I can access and read/write my Kobo Aura One as a USB device * I can access and download the Kobo Aura One firmware using standard circumvention software * I have copied the Kobo Aura One firmware (both, as it is and unpacked as well) to the Kobo Aura One filesystem * I have installed a working copy of Calibre software package on my (Linux) laptop = I can see my Kobo Aura One connected to Calibre it can see the installed firmware and I can perform a few manipulations like adding reading books. -> However my Kobo Aura One doesn't work as a stand alone device it still wants to be set up using WiFi (which obviously doesn't work) or using the Kobo Windows Software VM-Ware which also wants to connect to the blocked network. How can I make Kobo to recognize a manual setup ? |

Something like http://bedroomcoders.co.uk/kobo-glo-...t-to-register/ may be useful to you. Not sure if things have changed since it was written though

@22nightowls: What is the "standard circumvention software"? I assume some VPN or something that allows you to get to the Kobo server. Why doesn't this work for setting up the device using the PC application? |

It's because my circumvention software is an app of my browser only.

Thank you for the linx. I have found two more sites, perhaps you need to edit the addresses :
http://www.mobileread.mobi/forums/sh...d.php?t=171664 https://googleweblight.com/?lite_url...U8e7N4tIeQ8UGg There are changes in the pipelines of our governments internet screening and access policies as well. I will update the post Last edited by 22nightowls; 02-13-2018 at 12:06 AM. Reason: typo typo |
