When I try to turn it off again the LED flashes green once and then I need to use a paperclip to reset it to book back into Nickel.
Do I need to get to a windows machine and use the Flash Drive Image Writer, or can anyone confirm that it is possible to install android onto the Kobo Glo using a Mac?

dd on a Mac certainly works. The only issue I've had is that I've had to unmount partitions on the SD card (but not eject it) using Disk Utility before writing to the card. The command I use is:-
dd if=source.img of=/dev/disk6
where the actual output file can be found from Disk Utility by right clicking on the SD card and selecting Information.
Note: The destination should be the SD card and not some partition on it. For example of=/dev/disk6s1 is incorrect.
