Unhappy Kobo Libra 2 Stuck on update screen help ?

Hi All,

My kobo is stuck on the update screen (the one with the power symbol and the three dots below it). It has been stuck like that for a few days until i resorted to trying to fix.

Things I have done :
  • I have had it fully charging overnight.
  • Done the manual reset - holding down the power and page turn button. The the power led comes on and flashes, the screen blinks white once and then returns to the same update screen and the led keeps flashing. It then loops through this sequence.
  • I have updated the image on the drive with one provided on this forum and performed the same manual reset but get the same thing as above
.

Is this completely bricked ? any other things i could try ?

There is one other option.
  1. Go to the thread on requesting a firmware image and request a firmware image
  2. Write that firmware image to another MicroSD card
  3. Open the Libra 2 and swap the memory card.

If your Libra 2 does now boot, update the firmware and read from there after you get your Libra 2 setup.
