Sorry, but I think you're thinking it the wrong way.
This is very serious problem, at least in my opinion that new Kobo devices come without hardware reset button and rely solely on pressing power button for a long time.
My device (H2O) has reset button and it saved me in instance or two, not sure what would be if I had to rely on power button (it didn't helped me when I tried, that's why I needed to resort to using dedicated, hardware reset button).
But, from perspective of software, when something goes terribly wrong, like in your case, software is already powerless to do anything. Because, your device is for some reason blocked beyond (any) software help.
So, no koreader, no nickel, no KSM, no any software can replace dedicated hardware reset button. You need in such cases to rely on pressing power button, or wait for battery to completely empty. If that can help.
