Some of the newer revisions of the Touch seem to have an SD card internally instead of hard wired memory. Someone has opened one of these up and replace the SD card after coping partitions onto it. As Jabut hasn't said anything about opening his Touch up, I suspect he has formatted an SD card, but it in the external slot and hoped that would work. I haven't heard of that being done before.

For Jabut, was this a manual upgrade or automatic via the Kobo app?

And as dakini plug it in for a few hours and make sure the battery is charged before doing anything else. Then do a factory reset by:
- Slide the power button over and hold it for 30 seconds to ensure it is off and then release it
- Press and hold the Home button down and then slide the power button on.
- When the LED near the power button starts to flash, release the hold button.

If this works, when it finishes recovering, plug it into the PC and start the Kobo app to do the firmware upgrade.
