Hi, I have the 2014 Kobo Touch image if anyone needs it. I'll have to upload it somewhere though.

EDIT: For those with Kobo Minis, I'm trying to find the necessary files (uImage and u-boot-mddr-256<morestuff>.bin). If you have those, that would be great!

About necessary files for Kobo Mini, here you are.

To upload the 2014 image, what about mega.nz ?

Thank you very much !

Thank you jperon!!

Sorry for the late response. I'm trying to get your 2014 Touch image uploaded to the web.

Expect it to be uploaded in about 10 min.

Can not download.
It needs a decryption key!

To avoid it, it's necessary, when sharing file from mega, to select link with key.

OK, updated the first post and added some mirrors...

No problem everyone. Glad to see a community still revolves around these older ereaders.

BTW incase anyone using a Kobo Aura Edition 2 comes looking,

So we might start to see info on how to get Android working on this newer model.

From what I hear the Kobo Aura One is very similar in hardware, so it'd likely also work with that model.

Hi guys,

My kobo glo stopped booting the other day.

I came across this thread and thought it a good excuse to try Android but I could only get to one image. Marek's older android Glo image.

I was interested in Marek's newer Dual Boot Glo image. Could anyone help with a link?

Thanks in advance.

Hi embryo. Thanks for this. Do you happen to have Marek's newer dual boot image for the Kobo Glo?

I do have it on my desktop, but unfortunately I am not there at the moment (and I will not be for 2-3 more weeks).
I will re-upload it when I return.

No worries. Thanks in advance

Just returned and checked for the image, just to realize that there was never one, and that's why is not uploaded.
But if you want to try, there is this at the first post:

Note: You can modify your existing Android image for Glo, to use it as extSD for Dual boot, by adding (and replacing) the files of the attached "Android System.dualboot.tar.bz2".The fix for the "Back" button is included.
