DezReads,
thank you for testing!
Currently I cannot provide a version of KSM that works on all devices.
We could try to make your usb work again. First you have to download a KoboRoot.tgz to your device. I have renamed the file to KoboRoot.epub (so that you can download it easily with nickel's web browser, and have uploaded it to the first post of this thread (so that you do not have to navigate to this post, which is a pain with the browser). If you like do the following:

[on the Kobo] Open the web browser of nickel
[on PC] Start the rotation test webinterface
[on the Kobo] Download KoboRoot.epub with the web browser
[on the Kobo] When the browser shows "Download Complete" chose "close"
[on PC] Write into the cml-field (yellow)[CODE]mv /mnt/onboard/KoboRoot.epub /mnt/onboard/.kobo/KoboRoot.tgz 2>&1[\CODE] and press the "execute" button
[on the Kobo] Exit into KSM
[on the Kobo] There you should now see the new entry "handle update"
[on the Kobo] Select "handle update" > "KR install uncontrolled"

When the update is finished, usb will work again, or so I believe.

As for removing the testing utility, see this post. But maybe it is better to keep it for the moment, or at least until usb works again.

EDIT: I was writing this post under the assumption that you cannot load anything unto your device via usb. From your post on the plato thread I guess you can after all. Then the whole attempt to download the KoboRoot.tgz with the web browser is of course a waste of time and energy.
