I'd try to factory reset it, skip registration and never ever enable wifi. It's very easy to update firmware manually.

If your SD card is screwed and you have to resort to an SD image, keep in mind that the serial number of your device is in the image and you'll lose it unless you write it down and add it to the image by hex editing it.
Very bad idea to skip registration. There have been two firmware updates that have caused the fake registration to reset the database. This could happen again. You won't know until it happens. With a proper registration, this won't happen. Plus, if you buy eBook from Kobo, it's no different registering then it is to buy eBooks. Being fake registered, you cannot use Overdrive if you ever decide you want to. You cannot sync if you want to. You lose these options.

And besides, @rockman4140 has his Clara HD working. No need to rock the boat.
