Hitting the reset button while it's showing the loading squares (five times) should make it factory reset. If you can turn it off entire, hold the power button as you turn it on and tap both bottom screen corners, should factory reset as well. But you lose your data for it.
If you don't mind opening it up you could take out the SD card, mount it in a Linux PC and remove /usr/local/Kobo/sickel

I don't know what firmware it had. Whatever was most current as of 2-3 weeks ago when I last checked for updates.
Factory resetting it worked. I thought holding down the reset button would do it, didn't realize you had to do the five click thing on the loading screen. Sucks that I have to find my place again in my current book, but at least my reader isn't bricked now. I appreciate it.

Unfortunately I was unable to hit the Connect button on the reader in order to do this. I was able to factory reset though.
