I tried looking for what that LED pattern might correspond to but haven't been able to find anything.
My N905 Touch, shows the blue LED on power on, then flashes green a couple of times then the screen starts to change. What you are seeing makes me think the device cannot boot from the card. But, a factory reset will flash the LEDs until the rest is finished.

If it is the screen, it might be booting but not able to show anything. You might be able to tap on the screen and find the right place to connect to the PC. My Touch doesn't have a WiFi setup option. If it is plugged into a PC when powered on after factory reset, it automatically connects ready for setup using the Kobo desktop application. I'm not sure if the N905C is the same as it has later firmware for the factory reset. It is probably the same as the Glo. In case it helps, I have attached photos from my Glo of the first two setup screens. You can try tapping similar positions on the screen to see if you can get it to connect to the PC.

As @PeterT said, not updating the serial number in won't cause a problem. Updating it is better, but, not by much as it is not used in that many places. I suppose that there is very small risk of corrupting the image when doing this, but, it easy to do correctly.
