<\/p>\n

Hello everyone today finally I managed to write this guide trying to be more complete and simple as possible!
\nFor every trick I created a file so just download it and then follow the instructions!<\/p>\n

0_ open the new global kobo or after factory reset ( hard reset = more light button pressed start button right to see red light , then release and wait for reset )<\/p>\n

1_ Insert the usb port to pc then in kobo choose to: a_configurare via PC if after point 0_ or b_ to connect if the kobo is already configured (used )<\/p>\n

2_ make a backup copy of the database , then copy the database with user unlocked KoboReader.sqlite in the folder \/ .kobo \/ KoboReader.sqlite PS : by doing so we will not have automatic updates
\nDownload<\/a><\/p>\n

3_ safe removal kobo from the PC , and then disconnect the USB cable !<\/p>\n

4_ will now ask you whether or not to publish on facebook (I put no) PS : The factory firmware is 2.1.2 of 31\/08\/2012<\/p>\n

5_ Now update the firmware of our kobo to the stable version ” 2013Release – 2.8.1 – AuraHomeScreen + tastieraMigliore ” ( of 15\/07\/13 ) . Insert the USB socket on the PC and on the Kobo click ” Connect” ( the screen that comes up automatically ” discovered computer .”) Then copy the file ” KoboRoot.tgz ” inside the folder kobo \/ . Kobo ( on ubuntu ctrl + h to see hidden files ) PS : other firmware can be found in http:\/\/www.mobileread.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=185660
\nDownload<\/a><\/p>\n

6_ Do not unplug the Kobo but still copy the dictionaries that you will find in the compressed archive in \/ .kobo \/ dict \/
\nsafely remove the kobo , you will now see that you update ( as long as you let him do reboots )
\nDownload<\/a><\/p>\n

7_ Reinsert the usb if you want to google NOT that you draw your own research and readings . Copy ” KoboRoot.tgz ” in \/ . Kobo \/
\nsafely disconnect and wait for the update
\nDownload<\/a><\/p>\n

8_ Reinsert the usb if you want to add a handy menu that will allow you to launch applications in QT ( chess, checkers , notepad, calculator and others.) Copy the root directory ” launcher.png ” then copy ” KoboRoot.tgz ” in \/ . kobo \/
\nsafely disconnect and wait for the update.
\nDownload<\/a><\/p>\n

9_ Reinsert the usb if you want to add ” kobotweaks -glo .” Copy ” KoboRoot.tgz ” in \/ . Kobo \/
\nsafely disconnect and wait for the update
\nDownload<\/a><\/p>\n

10_ Put the usb if you want to add night function will reverse the long keypress light colors on e-ink screen ( the white becomes black and vice versa) . Very useful for reading in complete darkness ( less toil eyes ) Copy ” KoboRoot.tgz ” and ” nightmode.ini ” and ” kobotweaks.ini ” in \/ . kobo \/
\nDownload<\/a><\/p>\n

11_ For the geeks \ud83d\ude09 we enable telnet via wi -fi: Copy ” KoboRoot.tgz ” in \/ .kobo \/ .scollegare safely and wait for the update . Once restarted colleghiamoci the wi-fi network from the pc then in a terminal type ” telnet ipKOBO ”
\nto discover the ‘ ipKobo go to the menu of the kobo > Settings> Device Information
\nDownload<\/a><\/p>\n

NOTE – 1: If instead you want to synchronize your library mondadori avoid steps and 1_ 5_ since the kobo you will update via wi-fi<\/p>\n

NOTE – 2: If after updating the kobo as note 2 and you want to block the firmware version and inpedire updates and synchronization library mondadori Re-insert the usb , copy ” KoboRoot.tgz ” in \/ . Kobo \/ . Disconnect safely and wait for the update
\nDownload<\/a><\/p>\n

NOTE -3 : You can change \/ modify the logo mondadori to the default of Kobo : enter \/ . Kobo \/ and edit the file ” affiliate.conf ” then replace ” Kobo ” to ” Mondadori ” ( = Kobo affiliate ) can be put other type “affiliate = fnac .”<\/p>\n

NOTE-4: If you want you can open the kobo and replace the sd 2GB internal with another larger capacity, in October this guide will also<\/p>\n

NOTE-5: To manage the libraries and add to your ebook kobo you can use the fantastic program called Calibre<\/a> or use proprietary software Kobo Desktop<\/a><\/p>\n

I hope this guide approaching many users as possible to the world of e-readers because remember that e-readers with e-ink screen do not tire and will not harm the view , it is as if we read on paper without cutting down trees and forests !<\/p>\n

Good hack at all !!!<\/p>\n
