Kobo Glo HD Memory Ugrade

Sorry for the amateur nature of the video and the various mistakes. The device is pretty new and I wanted to let people know that the device can have the internal memory upgraded for anyone who was debating on purchasing one.
Original tutorial is from this user:

Thanks. It was funny & informative. I'll try to stick with the memory it has until my ebook library gets bigger. I'd rather keep the warranty for as long as possible.

[@MetalNinjaJesus]

Definitely. Take advantage of the warranty in case there is any issues with early revisions of the ebook reader. I was just to antsy :)

I used the above technique to add 64gb class 10 to my Kobo Glo HD. Thanks a ton for the video! (And to those who contributed). Easy to follow and to do. Try a guitar pick gently under the button area to start working your way around, to get the case off.

[@MetalNinjaJesus]

Your welcome. I was away from home at the time and the razor was the closest thing to a guitar pick I had :P

[@freshalbi]

Many thanks , I couldn`t find anything specific on the new Kobo Aura 2nd edition. But apperently it works just the same

[@Snakebite420]

haha thanks, good work. Thinking about buying a HD

[@nybiggs]

The techie in me wants to do this, but realistically books are less than 2 megs each. 2000 books on the standard 4gb sd card is more than enough for most people.

This is true I did the same for my Kobo Glo 2GB Internal Memory and copied the card to a 32 GB card did the partitioning as described and everything went as expected. Kobo however did not boot up with the 32GB card and I did not even any red or blue light unlike the above video. The kobo booted up fine with the 2GB original card. I am not sure if I meesed up the 32GB card prep but I tried it twice by formatting the 32 GB card a second did a repeat and rinse but did not work.

I have a 64gb SDXC card that keeps reading error 1117 under the image restore. I am currently trying to reformat the card to try again

[@oakshillelagh4339]

Good one !
Thanks

[@smashmaniac64]

USB Image Tool doesn't work for me. It's recognizes that the Kobo SD card is there but is unable to create a backup. Windows is also unable to access the files in the SD card.

[@Zillawill]

Just wondering do you remember if you saw any difference in speed for general use? been thinking of replacing my PW2 with a Glo HD and well this would set me up for rest of devices life haha

[@vincedulay5751]

Will the Original 4gb Internal memory still work if you put it again?

[@blogblock]

Anybody know where i can get an img file? My os broke :(

[@ragilsatrio7066]

same for kobo touch?

[@celestyn37]

Hi, do you kown if this upgrade are possible on the new kobo aura one ?

[@parinyapeanmanakit2674]

no, kobo auro one don't have micro SD slot

[@rodrigaoluzia01]

need image sd card KOBO GLO please

[@emersonarmstrong89]

MobileRead forums is the best place to look for that

[@bird27kimo]

the case is tightly, how to start to open?

[@MetalNinjaJesus]

A razor is rather risky but most people will use a guitar pick. They come in different thickness sizes, so I don't know what would be Ideal for the Kobo :/

[@elastronauta28]

Ok,it work well ? what micro sd card use? class 4 or class 10 ?

[@MetalNinjaJesus]

Class 10 would be better but unless you'll to read a lot of big PDFs or graphic novels, a Class 4 will do fine epubs and other normal ebook formats

[@user-dp8lx9qp5l]

Can you share kobo.img? thx

[@MetalNinjaJesus]

Sorry. I already at my Kobo setup with my details at the time :/
