May I propose the following: Get the Kobopatch_4.30.188838.zip file to your computer. Unzip the content to a folder, let's call the folder Kobo430. Kobo430 will have a subfolder src. Copy the update file kobo-update-4.30.18838.zip to Kobe430/src (see Post from Uncle Robin) Don't unzip kobo-update-4.30.18838.zip The batch file kobopatch.bat in Folder Kobo430 should be able to run now. Run it and check that you have gotten KoboRoot.tgz in the folder Kobo430/out If that is the case then now do your patches, and rerun the batch-file. If something is wrong now, then something is wrong with your edits. |

Scroll down to VERSIONS and click 'show' You want 4.30.18838 and the Libra 2 is called kobo9 on that chart. Quote:
Right in the middle of the screen you should see Software Details/Software version. You just want to make sure the number you see there matches the number on the files you are downloading. Quote:
Easy suggestion: Delete all the patches you have downloaded so far. Start from scratch with a new download of the patches. Import the firmware. Don't change anything and run the .bat file. That should at least show you the .bat file will work properly. Once you see that the .bat file works, then open libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml. Search for Enable advanced settings for all fonts. Change no to yes. Save. Run the .bat file again. Make sure it doesn't immediately crash like it was. If all goes well, import the new KoboRoot.tgz in the out folder to the .kobo folder on the Libra s. Eject the Libra 2. It should think for a few seconds and then autorestart. Once that is done, you should have advanced font controls. I am overly explaining the steps and going into too much detail for clarity. I promise, once you do it, patching the Kobo is pretty easy. I'm no computer wizard myself. |

Inquiring minds want to know: were you able to get your firmware patched? Was any of our advice helpful in the end?

If you say you've been unable to patch, I'll send you my patches.

I'm wondering if whatever program is being used to unzip the patch is causing problems and placing things in wrong directories. Or they're moving files around and not just letting things unzip where they should.
Quote:
KoboRoot (a folder containing all manner of strange things) kobopatch.bat - this should be in the main Patch directory to run correctly KoboRoot.tgz - this should be in the out directory if the patch ran successfully Two of those files maybe happened if they unzipped the firmware instead of placing the zipped file into src. But the batch file definitely should not be in the src directory. Maybe that's why it's not finding the correct path, it's already starting out in the wrong location? |

I've been away from the forum for a short while because I've had a cold and generally feeling tired, disinclined to fight with technology. However, I'm brighter and better now.
Still haven't fixed this issue. I tried svenlind's process from post #31, with a variation. I create three yaml folders: one containing virgin, unpatched yamls, one containing the ones with the original edits one intended to copy the edits, ensuring I made no errors in spacing etc. I also didn't unzip the kobo-update-4.30.18838 file (which I did before). My first attempt was with the original, edited yamls. This failed, but I was given a lot of error stuff I don't understand. I tried with the virgin, unedited yamls. This also failed. This is the error gobbledygook: kobopatch 653070c https://github.com/geek1011/kobopatch KoboPatch::LoadConfig reading config file from *os.File unmarshaling yaml | { | "Version": "4.30.18838", | "In": "src/kobo-update-4.30.18838.zip", | "Out": "out/KoboRoot.tgz", | "Log": "out/log.txt", | "PatchFormat": "kobopatch", | "Patches": { | "src/libadobe.so.yaml": "usr/local/Kobo/libadobe.so", | "src/libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml": "usr/local/Kobo/libnickel.so.1.0.0", | "src/librmsdk.so.1.0.0.yaml": "usr/local/Kobo/librmsdk.so.1.0.0", | "src/nickel.yaml": "usr/local/Kobo/nickel" | }, | "Overrides": { | "src/libadobe.so.yaml": null, | "src/libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml": null, | "src/librmsdk.so.1.0.0.yaml": null, | "src/nickel.yaml": null | }, | "Lrelease": "", | "Translations": null, | "Files": null | } KoboPatch::OutputInit KoboPatch::ApplyPatches KoboPatch: ![]() Opening firmware zip 'src/kobo-update-4.30.18838.zip' --> open src/kobo-update-4.30.18838.zip: The system cannot find the file specified.

Thanks to a gallant MR member who sent me a patch file, I've successfully created a KoboRoot.tgz file. Where do I put this on the kobo?
Thank you so much for all the help and support. |
