I am having a similar problem. I updated my Kobo Touch to 3.0.1 via the wireless sync, and now when I connect via USB to my laptop (which is old and still running XP) it detects the computer, but the computer does not detect the Touch.

I have verified it's not the computer by trying it with my husband's laptop (windows 7) - same issue. And my computer is fine with other USB devices.

What can I do to fix this? I basically use my Kobo strictly for sideloaded books (usually via direct drag and drop to the folder) so I am dead in the water right now. I'm eyeing the factory reset but I'd rather not lose everything unless it really will fix the problem (although everything exists on my laptop so it's not a huge deal).

Is it possible to roll back the update without a USB connect?
