You need to do factory reset at least twice each time before trying reset hold power button down for at least 10 seconds before trying the reset. This can insure reader is off before doing one of the reset tries. About only other things to try is remove external SD card, and fully charging the reader.

I sold and gave away to a relative my 2 Kobo wifi readers. Both were first version (A version) with soldered in place internal memory. If you have later B or C versions you could open reader remove internal memory then install good image to your internal SD Card. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73QGYk2q80M
