I took out the µSD card and examined the contents of the restore partition. I then attempted to duplicate that as closely as possible. It took a few efforts but I finally got a working version. As it turned out, I needed to pretty much as much work to update the restore partition every blasted firmware update and/or new device so I finally decided for the few time I actually used the restore functionality, it just wasn't worth the effort. That was back when I had a Kobo Glo before I updated to an Aura HD.

I generated a KoboRoot.tgz to do the restore partition update since that was the easiest way to do the update without extracting the µSD everytime.
