Kobo µSD Card Image Requests
Due to the proliferation of threads asking for Kobo firmware images, I've decided to have this thread as a dedicated thread for firmware requests.
When making a request, please specify the make and model number of your Kobo ereader. I.e. if you want a firmware image for a Kobo Clara 2e, please mention N506 and Clara 2E in the message. This will help to ensure that you get the correct image. Sample would be: I would like the firmware image for a Kobo N437 Glo HD. Edit: Private message access: You will need to have PMs enabled for me to send you the link. To see if you have PMs enabled, click on the User CP button. Then click on Edit Options and then scroll down to Messaging & Notfications. If you do not see a checkmark on Enable Private Messaging, please post in the Requests to enable Private Messages thread to request that they be enabled.

Responding to a PM: Can I send a firmware request in a private message?
Requests sent by PM are not the preferred method and are a pain to keep track of. Last edited by DNSB; 08-23-2023 at 12:11 PM. |

The following images are available:
Kobo N204B Aura HD (4.38.21908) Kobo N236 Aura Edition 2 V1 Kobo N236 Aura Edition 2 V2 Kobo N249 Clara HD (4.38.21908) Kobo N250 Aura H2O Kobo N306 Nia Kobo N418 Libra 2 (there are two versions of the image due to hardware changes) Kobo N437 Glo HD Kobo N873 Libra H2O (thanks to @minosimo) Kobo N506 Clara 2E Kobo N587 Touch 2.0 Kobo N613 Glo Kobo N647 WiFi (1.9.12) Kobo N647B WiFi Kobo N705 Mini (4.38.21908 & 3.19.5761-s firmware revisions) Kobo N905B Touch Kobo N905C Touch Kobo N289 Wifi *Kobo N514 Aura* The Aura N514 does not have removable internal storage so no image is available. People have used a N250 Aura H2O image copied to a µSD card and booted from that card in the external µSD card slot. See message #124 in this thread for one user's experience. The following models have fixed internal storage and no image is available. Kobo N905 Touch Kobo N709 Aura One Kobo N867 Aura H2O Edition 2 Kobo N782 Forma Kobo N777 & N778K Sage Kobo N428 Libra Colour Kobo N367 Clara Colour Kobo N365 Clara BW Last edited by DNSB; 07-26-2024 at 04:42 PM. Reason: received image for Kobo Libra H2O |

For many of the images that were sent to @davidfor by third parties, I don't know what the version is. I could take the time to dig into the image to read the version file but have not had the time or inclination to do so.

The N647 image is version 1.9 and it's not a 'clean' image. It has someone's email and other info. The last release for the N647 and N647B was 1.9.12, the two take different images.
I've asked some people if they have one or the other model, if they have 1.9.12, to make a backup, do a reset, do a second backup to send to you, then they could restore their first backup to the original card or take the opportunity to upgrade their internal storage. Nobody wants to do that. ![]() There's an N647 on eBay for $18.95 + $5.70 shipping. The seller won't answer questions. If I knew it had the latest firmware I'd buy it to make an image. |

@ChristianHB, @gbre: PMs sent.
@JSWolf: Jon, the instructions don't do much good without the image. I do include the link to the Memory Upgrade Mod Guide (With Pictures) thread as part of the PM. |
