I read it started with 20% charge, got some charge while doing housekeeping/deleting files, then got stuck on 9% for an hour prior to multiple manual resets... so it sounded like there was a problem processing content, then another resetting. Altogether that sounds like maybe a bad internal sdhc or charge was borderline and probably it shouldn't have been reset with charge that low. It think that's why it sounded like a Db problem causing a firmware issue, coincidence, possible power related and sdhc is fine, or just needs a new image.

I think the thing to take away here is to always make sure you have a pretty decent charge if attempting a factory reset or anything else that may suck up some power like adding a bunch of titles, etc. or just leave it plugged in while doing it. Restores and the like always make me jumpy. I'm used to having direct access to flash memories with microcontrollers so if something goes wrong I can just flash them again. I hate dealing with android and clockwork recovery and all that jazz, despite liking android as a platform, and I'm not much more fond of the factory reset/restore/recovery with the Kobos, but you gets what you gets -it works.
