Probably a Glo image would be compatible. Trying doesn't cost anything, ask for a link in the related thread!

Someone did try that a while back. It worked, except it still used the Glo's higher resolution, so you couldn't see everything on the Mini. That was with older firmware, though. Meggyblue, If you'd like to give it a try I have a Glo image you can use.

SOLVED!! my kobo mini restart!
Here's what I did: 1. I took an image of my sd. 2. I copied the image of kobo n905C (courtesy of davidfor) on the sd 3. I tried but kobo did not start, just green led flashing 4. with a hex editor (HDX) I copied from the old image of the SD damaged the first 9.5 MB unallocaded space and recoveryfs 5. try sd on kobo mini, and it starts!! 6. I creatie a new image of the sd 7. i made a factory reset for safety After that I copied the image on a sd 8gb class 10. and now all works with my serial number. i think this can works with other kobo model. these are the sector: unallocated space: from sector 0-19455 (copied) rootfs: from sector 19456 to 543744 recoveryfs: from sector 543745 to 1068033 (copied) koboereader: from sector 1068034 to 3829762 thanks Davidflor! thanks all of you! |

This mean that, since you used the original recoveryfs, your SD should now be virtually identical to the original one! |
