Kobo's updates are often risky, they fix something but that breaks something else that worked well. In the past I also had firmware that constantly gave me those same error messages no matter what I tried. Constantly having to restore the reader to factory gets old quick.
Kobo comes out with new firmware when they come out with new Readers. Sony hardly came out with new Readers. Also, most older Kobo Readers can run the new firmware. Your 350 didn't get the new features of the T1 because Sony switched to Android. You can keep your Kobo at an older firmware if you want. I was running 4.7.x before I switched to 4.18.x, The 4.7.x firmware working without issue. I just wanted some of the new features of 4.18.x.
