Hi All,

I (accidently) installed the wrong firmware (2.4.0 for older 'touch' devices) instead of the second link. My device indeed became unresponsive (it hung after the restart) and did nog react on factory reset (paper clip nor homebutton-slider).

I was able to fix this by:
- opening the case & removing the internal microSD holding the firmware
- inserting the microSD via an adapter in my computer (OS X 10.8)
- placing the correct firmware version in the .kobo directory
- placing the microSD back into the eReader
- booting up the eReader

Now it just works fine. It has even kept all files i had on it before the upgrade! (these were only pdf's i put there myself, not using Kobo Desktop)
