This is not going to help with your Forma but quite a few of the people to whom I have sent links to Kobo firmware images have reported that trying to reuse the original µSD card shows that it has uncorrectable errors. One person reported that after copying the image to his original µSD card, his Glo would boot and work normally however installing a firmware update caused his Glo to error again. Trying a replacement µSD card allowed him to revive and update his Glo without error. The SD Association's formatter utility reported multiple errors when attempting to format the original card.

This does not appear to be from operator error but simply the cards having a limited life.
