Kobo firmware 4.6.10075 mega update (KSM, nickel patch, ssh, fonts)
A new firmware for the Kobo ebook reader came out and I adjusted the mega update pack to use it. According to the comments in the firmware thread it is working faster than previous releases. The most incredible change though is the update from wpa_supplicant 0.7.1 (around 2010) to 2.7-devel (current). Wow.
For details and warning please consult the previous post.

Wow, wasn’t expecting an update so fast, thank you Norbert for your time and dedication for those lovely devices. Yes great improvement indeed.
You’re welcome. Hope it works out for you.
Tested working on mark4. Must have corrupted my firmware while trying to patch it myseft but after factory reset, it’s all good with your megaupdate.
Hi Norbert,
there are wrong titles for firmware: Kobo 4.6.9995 (but links are correct – for 4.6.10075).
Thanks for your continuous great work!

Thanks, fixed.
Please, Can not scan wifi on Kobo H20.
Not related to the changes I ship as they don’t touch wifi. Please install plain clean firmware and confirm first.
Thank, i try 3 time to reset factory and install buy same problem :((
This is step by step, i install.
1. Reset factory.
2. Kobo automatic update to 4.6.10076 ( connect to wifo and sigin with acc)
3. Connect to PC and copy Koboroot.tgz to .Kobo folder
4. Kobo restart and jump to KMS. In there wifi status is connected but i not sure.
5. I choose start nickel and Kobo change to Nickel, i there Wifi is enable but can not scan any wifi name. And it is still….
So what problem with my Kobo h20 . thank very much
Maybe something related to H2O and KMS. I faintly remember that there was some discussion on mobileread about wifi issues. Please research there, I don’t own a H2O.
yup confirmed the WIFI stop working after applying this on my Aura H20 as well (a brand new one). ok time to check out for fix.
Same here, kobo glo wifi connection problem with nickel,
however it still could scan spot while in KSM
waiting for the next update.
Hi Norbert,
For H2o 2nd edition wich megapack should i use? Mark 5?
Thanks in advance!
hey ! i just updated to 4.6.9995 as mega update u provided before but nothing changed just firmware from settings and nothing change. how to view koreader, nickel, pbchess and games etc
well this update stops scan wifi in nickel please update
Hi Norbert,
thanks a lot for the megaupdate. I used it in the past few months and koreader and coolreader are much better than the stock reader.
Unfortunately 🙂 a new firmware came out (4.7.10413), and I must have done something wrong because the Kobo updated itself after a reboot and I am now stuck with the stock firmware.
Are you planning to update the megaupdate?
What are the chances it’s gonna work if I install only the KoboRoot.tgz from this megaupdate without the kernel?
Thanks!
Happy new year everyone, i wish the best for all and really hope for a final last update in 2019 for our legacy kobo devices,as the last one had major flaws. if Norbert still possess one,
Thanks and good luck.
