Hi, thank you for the replies

@galaxxyafonso, yes, It was bought at FNAC but I don't remeber see any FNAC customization for this ereader.

@davidfor, yes, you're right. I tried to put the firmware in the .kobo directory directly to the SD card but it has to be write protected in some way because, after deattach the SD card from my laptops (Windows and Linux), any copied file disapears when the SD card was attached again.

Sorry I didn't explain the isssue very well. Yes, tried to follow these steps to perform a hard reset a lot of times and I have obtained a beautiful bricked ereader. The symtomps are: "white" screen, blinking led, ereader restart after 1 minute and starts again with the blinking led and the white screen..

Reviewing other threads I have read that the recoveryfs can be modified to try to recovery it but I really don't know what I can modify to solve the problem. I can access to this FS plug in the SD card to my Linux laptop.

I thought the most quick way to solve the problem was rewrite the SD Card completely. Just you said, I have seen the thread where somebody has this image and I asked for it, too.
