I am trying to restore my Kobo Touch N613, but I am stuck at the Wi-Fi sync screen. After entering my Wi-Fi credentials, the device keeps returning to the beginning of the setup process and does not proceed further. Unfortunately, I cannot bypass this screen, and it seems the firmware requires an online activation, which is currently failing.

Additionally, my power button is broken, so I can only reset the device using the small reset hole. I flashed a firmware image, but it still demands synchronization, and I have no way to skip it.

Would anyone have an older firmware version that does not require mandatory online activation or sync? Alternatively, any guidance on bypassing this setup requirement would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help!
