So I installed 4.15.x manually, and did Factory reset from Device info page. I didn't see any net reset the firmware. But I'll check again later.

Update 1: So, for the strings, there are a whole new set of rm commands which are more specific than rm -rf /mnt/onboard/.kobo. There are also 3 strings: "Signing out...", "Resetting device...", and "Factory resetting...".
Update 2: During the new partial reset, it runs mkfs.vfat on the KOBOeReader partition now to reformat it completely. It also removes the external storage directory recursively.
Update 3: The full reset remains the same (it triggers it to have it done through the recovery firmware).
Update 4: The sign out remains the same (removes .kobo, .kobo-images, .adobe-digital-editions, koboExtStorage, but not the sideloaded books).
Update 5 (the last one): The Developer Options reset does trigger the full reset unlike the Device Information one. Also, a bit off topic, but sickel can be enabled/disabled over DBus (com.kobo.watchdog.Sickel/Suspend) (this might interest @NiLuJe). You can also ping sickel with com.kobo.watchdog.Sickel/Ping.

I haven't seen any developer options, but I might check it out when I update it again.
