If you don't mind loosing data (in most cases this will be the annotations), just power the device off by holding the power slider in the off position for about 20 seconds, and then trigger the factory reset.
As for the problem with the instable usb connection, I had it too on one older laptop. After some experiences similar to yours, I used to copy the KoboRoot.tgz file with another name to the device ( e.g, _KoboRoot.tgz) and after successfully copying renamed it back to the original name.
I would also recommend saving important data before side loading FW.

Thanks for the suggestion.
It was the first time I ever did an update without a backup.
Yup it's a bit complicated and risky but I'll try to make it simpler. It's for those who never expected to brick their device.
