Had the same problem going from 2.4.0 to 2.5.0,
but from 2.5.0 to 2.5.1 it was fine. I wonder if the problem is in the 2.4.0 (or earlier) update code. |

I had to pinhole reset too. Wifi update, downloaded, then froze. Pinhole reset and the update downloaded and applied.

I had tried 3x to let it update itself, each time having to use the pinhole to reset the reader and it never did update on its own. I had to unpack the zip file as DNSB instructed on Page 3 and when I simply unplugged the reader from the USB, it finally updated correctly.

I bought a Kobo glo last week and after reading lots here I have a few concerns about the way the software is heading. Restrictions on use, spying on customers, phoning home, continuous updates and the like.
What is the best version as far as stability and ease of hacking ? I don't need any fancy gimmicks like a book shelf, I can look through a directory structure to find the book where I put it. With ver 2.5 unless it can get to the internet it says no network connection, which is plain wrong, I would like to run samba to connect to our server. If there is a better place to put these questions please move me there Thanks Auda |

I retract my earlier statement, on my Glo it downloaded twice with a paperclip reset/reboot in between. The second d/l was over very quickly, perhaps it checked and the file was present...
On my Touch, it downloaded once and went through with the installation without a hitch. Sorry it was a late night and thinking back not as simple as I first thought. |

Concerning connecting to a server, you could search the Kobo Developer's Corner. Last edited by tshering; 04-26-2013 at 04:40 AM. |

I can't get my Glo to show any books in the categories I tried, whereas the same categories on my Android Kobo on my phone shows a variety of titles. Verus It always ticked me off royally that I can't access any English books without using search while temporarily residing in a non-English speaking country (and being forced book titles upon me in the local language). Stupid IP link to languages without proper alternatives is in my eyes discrimination against expatriates/travellers. Currently it's a mix of mainly localised titles and a few English ones (my chosen language obviously). Last edited by Rowella; 04-26-2013 at 08:04 AM. Reason: --- Clarity --- |
