I copied the backup into the.kobo file and renamed it but nothing is sticking and it keep resetting the device.

What am I doing wrong?
Did you update the firmware to the same version as when the database was created? If you used the Kobo Utilities backup tool, did you copy all the files into the correct places? If you only backed up the database(s), did you save and restore both the KoboReader.sqlite and BookReader.sqlite files?

Generally, I've found that restoring the two databases and the Kobo eReader.conf file to the same firmware revision works.
