Power button + ?????
The button combinations mentioned are those used to trigger a factory reset. It probably means these button combinations trigger alternate boot sequence: external SD card and then the recovery partition. If that is right, then using the external factory reset method for the one-button devices is what you want. For the Aura H2O, this is holding the power button down and tapping both bottom corners until something happens.

Disclaimer: The above is an educated guess. It might just factory reset your device. Take a copy of the data on the shared partition before trying.
