Connecting "like nickel" uses the same identification strings as nickel, that means the correct FW version number and the correct model number. The "normal KSM usb connect" puts always 0.0.0 as FW version number, and the Kobo Touch model number.

What is happening is odd.

When you say "simulate usb connection worked", does this mean that you saw the process screen with the progress bar? Or was there only the short flash of the display?

This shows that the simulation of the usb connection did not actually work. When trying to simulate the connection, did you manage to press "connect" during the first couple of seconds? And did then appear the screen with the progress bar? I guess at that point something went wrong.

Edit: To sum it up, the actually effective steps in this case were:

Newly booted device
select enable usb id like nickel (what is the difference to the other?)
add new books
eject, disable and disconnect

reboot without ksm (should not matter, the important point is to start nickel)
new books not there
plug in
unplug
Books are there
plug in
db ok
