Uh Oh....

so i dowloaded the Kobo-MagicMemory-3.16.10.zip file, and extracted it, then rearchived (via CLI) it KoboRoot.tgz, then put it in the .kobo folder on my ClaraHD. The Clara has firmware 4.9.1131.

I ejected the Kobo and it automatically shut down to restart, the screen went white with a progress bar that loaded black dots, then white dots then black dots... for about 4 or 5 minutes. Then it just stopped updating the progress bar. The light on the power button stopped blinking. The screen never went completely Black. So... I'm at a loss for what to do. Its been half an hour.

So, I tried to shut it down. The clara doesn't have a factory reset switch, just a power button. I tried plugging the device into power and holding down the power button, as it describes here, but it never turned off.

I now can't get the white screen with black boxes off the screen.
