Also, if you don't mind possible resetting your device (though I'd probably try a hard reset not through settings first just to make sure you can do it if this option breaks something), I wonder if switching brands in devmode makes a difference. |

You can enable telnet using NickelMenu. Note that the user/password is admin/admin since root now has a password.
Spoiler:
The option in NickelMenu is: Code:
menu_item : main : Telnet : cmd_spawn : quiet: /bin/mount -t devpts | /bin/grep -q /dev/pts || { /bin/mkdir -p /dev/pts && /bin/mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts; } chain_success : cmd_spawn : quiet: /usr/bin/pkill -f "^/usr/bin/tcpsvd -E 0.0.0.0 1023" || true && exec /usr/bin/tcpsvd -E 0.0.0.0 1023 /usr/sbin/telnetd -i -l /bin/login chain_success : dbg_toast : Started Telnet server on port 1023. |

I think the rest of us are playing using the Kobo f/w; ie the 4.39 release; not the 5.x

Because all my books are in the Tolino cloud. We get 25 GB cloud space for sideloaded books on our devices. And yes, they do sync their progress. |

I will send you "Kobo eReader.conf" for both tolino and kobo brands. Also, the databases, if that is of interest. There are lots of new tolino tables… (I wonder what this means for the Calibre device driver, btw.) |

Okay, so I've managed to get ahold of the firmware files...

Oh, one warning, do not play with that update zip if you don't know what you're doing... it's not like the normal upgrades, and you do NOT want to mess up bl2 on mediatek devices, or you'll have a fun time recovering it.

I wonder … did/will Kobo switch to this very different update procedure? Because the KoboRoot.tgz hasn't been recognized on the koboified shine 5 either.

Yes, it appears that this will be the update procedure for all kobo/tolino devices running the v5 firmware branch.
