Kobo Glo Set Up Errors
Hello everyone,
I recently found an old KOBO GLO in my house and I wanted to start re-using it. After some troubles I managed to extend the memory (as seen in another thread) by using a new uSD card. Everything seems to work nice, the kobo starts up and I can see the WELCOME page. The problem is that I can't go further. When I try to connect the kobo via WI-FI it give me some errors, the device connects and then trow me back to the start page (?). If I try to set it up using a cable it seems to not be able to reach my computer. Any thoughts? Hope you'll help me Last edited by mtravellerh; 07-19-2024 at 12:44 PM. |

It will not be able to be set up using wifi due to a security update a few years ago. Also check that the cable you are using is one that is capable of data transfer, and use the kobo desktop to set up the glo initially.

Ok guys I managed to fix my kobo glo.
I have another question, is it possible to insert an ebook file directly into the main SD card? from file manager I see these 3 folder (in the attached photo) do you think it's possible to do it? where should I put the files? |

Use calibre to manage and put your eBooks on your Kobo.

Windows 10 32-bit or 64bit?
Have you tried different USB cables or USB ports? Tried a different computer? If none of that works, you could open the case and have a look at the USB port and see if it looks OK. |

I can't figure it out. All the ports of the computers works as usual. The port on the kobo seems ok. the fact is that the recharge works nicely but the data transmission is giving me some problems

The the computer's USB port but the Kobo's USB port. Check if all the pins look connected.
