That does sound like it is attempting to start up. None of the factory reset options above are doing anything?

and, @ david_e, it doesn't seem unfair to me at all to go to the shop, because it's not normal that a device freezes or bricks while restarting after an update, whether it is sideload or not, because when the Kobo updates the firmware via wi-fi it's the same thing: it downloads the firmware in the folder and then updates, I guess.

Now I'll try to fully recharge it, as someone said.

I never charged it before, so I don't know whether the led lights or not during charge, I wouldn't recognise it charging.
It shows either a green or a blue light while charging. If you haven't charged it before, do it now.

Do you think they'll eventually fix it if I use my warranty?
It depends on the shop or Kobo. There is a reasonable chance they will exchange it.
