And yes, sideload mode is unsupported but at least Kobo is aware of it.

Yes, I was there, *i* was the one who reported it. (The fake registration that caused the issue was the one that was included with the Nickelmenu add-on.)
The SQL line posted here, however, works on all versions of Kobo firmware, and has never caused a problem. I've tested it on every firmware versions update since. (err, that is, until sideload mode became available).
And as I've already said, the *worse* case scenario is a database reset, that happens to kobo *all* the time. It is almost a 1st troubleshooting step people suggest here for any number of weird problems that crop up. It's a very silly thing to get hysteric about. If you care about your Kobo database, regular backups required regardless.
