First, I did what JSWolf suggested and installed a new SD card by following these instruction: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=209122
(I already had a firmware image so I skipped step 1 and the copy part of step 2)

After inserting it into my e-reader, it started up again. However, it got stuck in some sort of updating loop. I couldn't get past it, so after 3 loops I skipped the "Connect through WiFi" part of the process and instead plugged the e-reader into my PC.

I then downloaded and installed the Kobo desktop app on my PC and ran the e-reader setup/update process from there. After 5 or so minutes, I unplugged my e-reader, it restarted, and now it works again.

The problem could be that the firmware image is too old for WiFi. So skipping WiFi was most likely the correct thing to do. Well done!
