My Kobo was manufactured in the fall of 2012, so it is fairly new.
I ended up updating by using just the KoboRoot.tgz and skipping uboot and kernel updates.
Apparently the uboot and kernel updates in that Firmware are not targeted at the newer Kobo Touch devices. I suppose I could try Glo update, but I am really just happy my KT is working again.

Thanks for the extra warning and glad you got your Touch working again! Sounds like the Glo firmware is what your Touch wants.
How do you know your Touch was manufactured in autumn 2012? It would be great to know how to find out if someone has a "new" or an "old" Touch to know which firmware they should use. (Eg. buying a new Touch after the Glo's release could also be an old Touch from old stock.)
