Hi guys!

I have a Kobo Touch device (N905B) that I've been using for a long time without any issues.

That is, until it updated to firmware 3.18.0.
From that moment on, it now randomly freezes during normal use (can happen anytime, while reading or simply in a menu) and the only way to make it work again is to hold the power switch for ~10 seconds to force it to switch off and then turn it on again.

I tried doing a complete factory reset, but the problem is that after a reset it needs to be activated again, and during activation it re-updates to firmware 3.18.0 and the problem persists.

Is there any way to fix this?
Or, alternatively, is there any way to downgrade it to the previous version, which didn't give me any issues?

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!
