Non registered Kobo not working - very annoying

Hi I saw there was concern about 9.14 and not registering a Kobo. I never registered my Kobo and figured I would try to manually apply the update anyway. And I got it to work. It all seemed fine;

1.Buy Kobo, refuse to register it(x2)
2.Update Kobo manually using files from link provided earlier in this thread, refuse to register it(x2)
3.Factory reset the Kobo
4.Update Kobo manually again
5. Enjoy

After 3 I had put a few books on to make sure I could still use it and when I did 4 the files were not deleted and they work fine.

While writing this I figured I should check that I could add files now. I cannot. The software is on there for recognising the new books but it does not trigger, instead the please set up the kobo screen appears.

I figure someone will know how to trigger the software to do the update.

I purchased a piece of electronic equipment and I have no interest in providing my personal details. The "extra features" of registering are of no interest.

Any suggestions appreciated.

For now I guess I reflash each time I want to add books. I can only guess it will have no long term effects if done several times a week.
