Missing firmware for older Kobos #34

Open Galane opened 1 year ago

Galane commented 1 year ago

I've been trying to find firmware version 1.9.12 for a Kobo WiFi model N647 but nobody seems to have it and the 2 gig image being shared is at 1.9 and wasn't factory reset before the internal Micro SD was imaged.

Unfortunately, that version came out before I even had a Kobo, so I don't have it archived anywhere.

Is there a specific reason you need it?

So that I can update the old thing to the final firmware version. There's certain to be some bugs or something fixed in it. I had it on 1.9.12 until the internal SD card got corrupted and I had to write an image to it. Unfortunately the card image being shared wasn't taken from ones of this model with the final firmware.

When I picked up this Kobo at a thrift store, Rakuten still supported it and their Windows software updated its firmware. But now the Windows software completely ignores this old model.

If I can get it updated I'll do a factory reset and make an image from the card so it can be shared. Then I might upgrade it with a 16 gig card internally. There's nothing wrong with it for daylight book reading, it hardly weighs anything.
