I had the same problem and solved as follows:
1. Dowmloaded latest fw (at thay time it was 2.8.1, now you can go for 3.5.0) and extracted files onto pc for further use
2. Downloaded and installed sqlite manager
3. Went for a Glo's factory reset and reconnected the Glo to the pc (to have access to the internal memory)
4. Copied KoboReader.sqlite file onto PC and opened with sqlite manager.
5. Modified "standard" values of USER records with the "fake" (you can easily find here on Mobileread)
6. Rebooted the KGlo. It booted without any issues.
7. Reconnnected the KGlo to the PC and copied fw files (those previously extracted) into .kobo directory
8. Disconnected the Kglo. At this point the upgrade started...
Then I had to push all my epub/kepub into the KGlo (I did it with Calibre, since I use to manage my universal biblioteque: I have 805 books).
