Well, I had deleted the only PDF file present in the device through Kobo's USB connect interface. Incidentally, that same file was last accessed by KoReader and it threw an error every time I tried to launch it. Instead of taking me back to file manager, the KoReader - unable to find the last accessed PDF - took me to the dual boot screen of adboot. Launching the Kobo, just froze the device. I reset it twice using the pin-hole, without success. Hence, I was forced to do a hard reset.

Is there a KoReader hack to enable USB support? And, is deleting files by browsing them from the computer forbidden?
There are some who switch back and forth between Koreader and Nickel (the Kobo User Interface) all the time, but having anything done to a file that the Kobo database is managing is a bad idea. I would keep your PDFs, or other files that you want to read in Koreader. in a "Hidden" folder, so it won't be added to the Kobo database.

It sounds like you have Koreader set to start in the last opened file, and you deleted that file. It used to drop to File Manager, after the "File not Found" message, but now that there is an icon in the top menu for the File Manager, it is just exiting (as if you selected the Home icon).

If you go to the File Manager top menu you can uncheck the open in last file option.

Luck;

P.S. I use Tshring's Kobo Start Menu which includes a USB function. (instead of the Advboot) This might help.
