Additional information

Problem is also documented in the device page, the required file contents are found in /lib/firmware/wc121/nvram.txt on the original sd in /dev/sdXp5. Preferrably, there should be a online source found for it.

added category::device type::bug labels

A source for that missing file is (besides of sdcard backups of the original system): https://download.pageplace.de/ereader/15.3.2/OS44/update.zip (linked from here: https://mytolino.de/software-updates-tolino-ereader/) path system/lib/firmware/wc121/nvram.txt needs to be present at /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43362-sdio.kobo,tolino-shine2hd.txt
