Brick after firmware update fails
Hi! First post on this forum, so thank you everyone for this huge community.
I've been reading some threads but couldn't manage to find a solution to my problem. My Clara HD is stuck at "Updating, please wait" screen and hard reset via power button is not working. Do you think is there a solution to my device? |

There are others here who are much knowledgeable than I am about this, however — so you may want to wait for more responses. |

Thank you rcentros. I think so too, that could be the best option. Let’s somebody confirm it before I “dismantle” the device.

For what it may be worth, my opinion is that writing the firmware image to a new µSD card and installing it in our Clara HD is a relatively cheap way of attempting to restore your Clara HD to working. Sadly, µSD cards seem to be one of the main points of failure.

Great to hear that your Clara HD is back to working!
I'm closing this thread now. If anyone else wants to request firmware, please use the Kobo µSD Card Image Requests thread. |
