Accessing root on Kobo devices
Hi everyone,
I wanted to have root access on my Kobo Clara HD. After looking around a bit, I found out that I can do this by turning on developer mode and using telnet on my linux system. However, I wanted to switch to SSH. I've found the following resources: https://github.com/ewpratten/KoboSSH https://www.yingtongli.me/blog/2018/07/30/kobo-ssh.html https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=254214 Is NiLuJe's package still the best way of doing this (last link)? I'm also wondering how I should backup the device in case I brick it and need to rollback. Can anyone point me in the right direction? |

I used NiLuJe's SSH a few years back but have not tested if it works with newer firmware though since he has updated the package so it should. Last edited by DNSB; 10-23-2023 at 04:59 PM. |

About the SSH, I'll probably try it if nobody else has any input and report back if it still works. |

It's due an update, but it's still perfectly functional (with the exception of USBNet not being available yet on the Elipsa 2E because I suck at configfs).
