Hey - it works.
In the 100th attempt I got it to firmware reset. And it wasn't a fluke - deleted the rcS script entire beforehand so it would not trigger the reset of the rcS itself by accident.
When it works, it resets without further asking, so you better be prepared to lose all your data on this thing.
What I did (same as everyone else said already, but for some reason it took a whole lot of attempts for me to make it work):
1. Turn off the device (wait a few seconds after it says "Powered off")
If your device is in a bricked state (blinking LED), you have to keep the button pressed for a while. It has to stop blinking when you let the button go.
2. Press and hold the power button to turn it on. Screen will flash black-white twice.
3. At the same time as 2), give the screen a massage at the bottom of the screen. (it probably doesn't matter, but when it worked I actually used three fingers, bottom left, middle, right.)
If the LED goes blinky instead you failed and have to start over.
Great! Wonder why they bothered to implement the reset button firmware reset at all, when they had this failsafe one. Probably because it's harder to use?
