@galaxxyafonso, Yes, I was bought at FNAC but I didn't see any FNAC logo when it started.

@davidfor, Yes, You're right, I tried to copy the update packages on .kobo directory and the ereader has the same behavior. I think the SD card is write protected in some way becouse, if I retire the SD card and plug in again, the package file disapears from ./kobo directory.

Sorry for my explanation, Yes, I tried to explain that I followed the official kobo instructions to perform a hard reset and I obtained a beautiful bricked ereader. I have tried to repeat the steps but the ereader doesn't respond, the screen is "white" and the led is blinking and after a minute, it seems to restart and again, "white" screen and blinking led.
I have read in some threads for other Kobo models there is a recoveryfs and rootfs partitions on SD but, really, I don't know what I can delete or modify. I can access to the partition recoveryfs plug in the SD card to a Linux laptop.
