I'm very happy with my Aura HD, but the more I read posts like this and the more I wonder how much lucky I am to have avoided this kind of issue...
I known someone in the same situation. His glo cannot bootup in nickle. The external SD boots up android so cannot use hardware reset. He nearly disassemble it to flash the image. I told him maybe boot in android and delete the database file can do the work. And then it works.
