My Touch 905B keeps hanging under F/W 3.16. I've tried a complete factory reset and re-installation, but it keeps happening.

I'm pretty sure it's not due to broken epub(s) -- it seems to happen with any book I open, and even on the Home screen after a fresh reboot. Could be hardware-related, of course, so I'd like to wind back to a previous f/w that I know worked, and see if it keeps happening.

So: if I do another factory reset, is there a way to initialise the device (either with or without the Kobo desktop) without upgrading the firmware?

Or if I'm just going to sideload epubs, at least for testing, is there a way to get the device operational without locking it into my Kobo account?
