However the images of kbmenupngs will have no function. That means you cannot return to the KSM menu with exit_nickle.png and so on. Returning to KSM might currently not be a good idea anyway. Since some of the more recent updates KSM has a screen rotation problem on the H2O.

Do not rush into opening the device!
No, I have not been able to install the patch or factory reset, my kobo has been frozen all day- I cannot get it to boot. I attempted to factory reset for several hours (using the corner tapping method) with no avail except getting it to flash into a blank screen (from the books screen). It did give me a glimmer of hope when it flashed blank, but since then nothing.

The LED in the power button will still turn on if I hold the power button in, so there is some life in it still.

I've been hoping I just have the timing off for the factory reset. I've been following the video here: [deleted vidme link]kobo-aura-h2o-factory-reset.

Is there anything else I should try? Definitely would prefer not to crack it open, but it is nice to know that that is an option. Thanks!
