Edit: Is there anywhere a description of the factory reset for all Kobo readers? Would be nice if there were a post one could refer to in such situations.
Hallelujah! That reset worked and my Kobo has resetted. I didn't use this method - I did not even know it exists. I used the paperclip hole method (no other method is described in the manual I have).



EDIT: Okay now, how do I proceed to get back to any previous version (factory version or anything before 2.6.1)??? I managed the factory reset (thanks again!), I copied the new files into the directory, and the Kobo updated to 2.5.2. The Kobo then restarts and requires activation. I have two options: wireless or computer setup (i.e. Kobo Desktop). Either way, the 2.6.1 is forcably installed and I am back to square one. With the thankful difference that the Kobo technically still works of course (just with that horrible 2.6.1 interface). There is no way to just enter e-mail and password, is there? How can activate the Kobo without the forced update to 2.6.1? I cannot find the files specified in the link above anywhere on my Kobo.
