Saga continues. So I decided not to connect to Wi-Fi and try to setup ereader using Kobo Desktop. Factory reset, PC sees ereader, sideload FW 3.0.0, unplug ereader, update goes through, connect to PC, PC sees ereader just fine, starting Kodo desktop, going into "Setup ereader", see circling progress indicator for a few seconds, then message - "can't communicate to device". Looking in Windows Explorer - no ereader listed anymore. Disconnected, connected again and now the "You need to format drive..." message. As if something happens in the background and alters Windows "perception" of the device soon after the FW upgrade goes through...
