I know that the last time this reset, the Kobo was plugged into the wall to charge it to see if that would unfreeze it.
Just addressing the factory reset issue: the problem was having it plugged into the wall while you inadvertently performed the correct button presses to tell the device to factory reset.

"Connect your eReader to a power source by doing one of the following:[...]

- Press and hold the power button until you see the words “Powered off” on the screen and until the power light turns off.
- Release the power button.
- Hold the power button down until the power light blinks rapidly"
