I must admit that some posters tend to post their opinions as if they were carried down a mountain engraved on stone tablets.

Firmware 5.0.175773
WARNING, THIS UPDATE IS INTENDED FOR TOLINO SHINE 5 AND TOLINO SHINE COLOR. DO NOT UPDATE YOU KOBO DEVICE, THE UPDATE IS IRREVERSIBLE.
@geek1011 The Tolino website now lists the firmware updates for the Shine 5 and Shine color: https://mytolino.de/software-updates-tolino-ereader/ This updates from 4.39.x directly to 5.0.175773 (latest): https://ereaderfiles.kobo.com/firmwa...3/KoboRoot.tgz And this seems to be a minor bump from 5.0.175772 to 5.0.175773 (latest): https://ereaderfiles.kobo.com/firmwa...773/update.tar Last edited by rantanplan; 05-19-2024 at 05:29 PM. |

It goes without saying, DO NOT install the above package on Kobo devices, especially any device older than the Libra Colour, and Clara Colour/BW.

Tolino also added a new guide on how to do a manual update on the new devices.
The procedure seems to be identical to manually updating a Kobo device, with the exception that on firmware 5.XX the update file is called "update.tar" instead of "KoboRoot.tgz". -> https://mytolino.com/software-update...lino-ereaders/ *Exception: manual software update for the tolino shine color and tolino shine (5th generation)

Seeing as the uncompressed update.tar file is smaller than the compressed tgz file, I can only take this to mean that Kobo/Tolino no longer intends to push updates as complete image. That might make downgrading Firmware versions in the future.... interesting. Hopefully we can get confirmation that factory reset still works after install this?

Nah, they're using ZSTD compressed filesystem images.

I am having issues with the 5.x FW, it does not recognise touch correctly IN ebooks. I click a word and the word 2 lines down gets marked. 100% reproducible and only IN an ebook. Main menu is fine. Any ideas?

Which device are you running the 5.x firmware on since you do not list any Kobo or Tolino devices in your device list?
