![]() ![]() The main memory of the device is presented as an unformatted drive and can't be accessed. before you can use it" and I can only see the microSD card content in Windows Explorer. ![]() Since then every time I connect it to the computer via USB cable my PC displays "You need to format disk. After getting access to the Internet Kobo updated itself to FW version 2.10.0. Then I inserted a 32GB microSD card and set Kobo up with acces to my Wi-Fi. When I connected it to my computer after unpacking the computer recognized the device and I could see the KOBO file structure in Windows Explorer just fine. I have no need to sync to the kobo server so am happy with not worrying about editing the hex code to change serial number.I thought it was - See post #25 of this thread, but then I made a mistake connecting to Wi-Fi to install a dictionary and the error is back again. Thank you David, very helpful.i think this may have been the original forum post i used to do this a few months ago (i have bookmarked it this time so i dont lose it). As far as I can see, it is used for very few things and if you aren't syncing to the Kobo server, it won't matter at all. The only real advantage of a Linux machine is that you can mount the partitions and read the data directly.įor the serial number, you can use a binary editor to replace it before writing the image. I have no real issues with doing this on a Windows machine. That should most of your questions.įor the VM, I don't really know. It is for the Glo, but the steps are the same for all the devices. The thread I usually refer people to is Memory Upgrade Mod Guide. How to image and restore the SD card in a Kobo device has been discussed many times here. I know that i can play with the partitions using windows disk manager (right clicking on Win10 start logo>Disk Management) In the meantime any help to my questions above would be greatly appreciated. My plan right now is to grab one of my other factory kobo mini's and take a good look at partitions and files on them to see if i can nut this out. My backup process in the past was simply to copy and replace the original card.keeping the original card in a safe place and running the kobo with a much larger replacement card that i resized to use the full capacity (e.g 8 GB) I cannot remember what this process was as i have not needed to do this before. One point of view says it must be run through a third party application to sort out (was it serial number issues?). Finally, i have conflicting information about whether or not one can use any kobo mini backup image to restore a bricked kobo. Does it make any difference imaging & partitioning an sdcard if left in the kobo mini whilst being done (i vaguely remember i read somewhere card must be removed and mounted in a USB reader on desktop pc) EDIT I have found by trial and error just now that Micro SD Card must be taken out of Kobo to Backup otherwise only the fat32 partition is visible and is copiedĥ. Is a virtual pc going to have difficulty reading linux partitions when running under a windows environment?Ĥ. I have been thinking about installing a virtual machine on my windows pc (perhaps ubuntu) in order to make it easier to deal with issues on kobo cards. ![]() Is there a disk imaging tool that actually makes an exact carbon copy of all partitions (I using Windows 10 64 bit)ģ. ![]() What is the procedure for a complete reformat of kobo mini card with all needed partitions from scratch? (or does anyone have a link to url containing procedure)Ģ. I once had a link to reformatting kobo mini sdcards and some time ago i did sort this whole process from scratch with a formatted card but have forgotten exactly how i did it.ġ. I thought that win32 was supposed to backup/image the entire card? I wasnt concerned as I had previously backed up the original image to my pc using win32 disk imager, however, when i restored the original backup image to the card i had inadvertantly reformatted it did not recreate all of the original partitions (only a single fat 32 one). In the process of redoing the program install i stupidly reformated the micro sdcard to a single fat32 partition. In the process of experimenting with lk8000 install, something went wrong and the kobo, whilst initially booting up fine, then stopped working. I have a number of kobo mini ereaders that i use for paragliding purposes (ie install xcsoar, tophat, and/or lk8000 on each one).Ī number of other forums have user guides on backing up sdcards on kobos and usually recommend using win32 disk imager. ![]()
