If the device can get to that point, it is a good sign, but, all the Kobo devices have a way of doing a factory reset that doesn't rely on the root partition being intact. For most, you hold the second button down while turning it on. For the Aura and Mini, you tap the bottom corners of the screen immediately after turning it on.
