Thank you very much davidfor.

Unfortunately this was not able to solve my issues. For anyone else wondering, my Kobo would just flash a full screen of black - white - black - white on boot and the power LED would start flashing. I'm not sure what this signifies and it wasn't a result of any tinkering of any sort...

I first tried the manual reset, which didn't work. I called Kobo and they told me they couldn't help me. I tried booting it without the SD card in and nothing. Thanks to davidfor I was able to also try reflashing the SD card with the stock image file, however that didn't work either, even after trying another 8GB SD card. The same screen flashing occurred. At this point I think my Kobo is properly bricked. RIP my Clara HD.
