Did you side load just KoboRoot.tgz or did you install the entire firmware update? The problem is that Kobo has changed the OS to go from 16bpp to 32bpp and you need the complete new firmware.

If you are side loading, take the COMPLETE contents of the update ZIP file and copy that to the .kobo directory. Then eject and that will do a full update.
