After reading the google translated thread plus looking at the XCSoar code, a factory reset should work. The installation isn't replacing anything that would prevent this from happening. As the Aura doesn't have a second button, this is done by:

- Make sure the device is charged.
- Ensuring the device is off by holding the power button down for at least 20 seconds.
- Turn the device on but hold the button down.
- Tap both the bottom corners of the screen.
- When the restoring message is displayed, let the power button go.

They might have to repeat this as the timing is important. When I tried this with my Aura H2O and Glo HD, it took me two or three tries to get it right.
