I'll back you up with this. Mine was OK up to 2.0.2 but it won't install 2.1.1. It either hangs restarting or does an incomplete install.

I have talked to Kobo about this and was asked for the factory reset firmware level and what books were on the device. This seems to have given them enough to solve the problem. I don't know if it was a bug in the original firmware or something in the newer firmware.
