One other thing I tried was to put the device into firmware update mode. This is what Kobo Desktop prompts you to do before it attempts to write an update to the device through the usb port.
To do this, you power on holding Power/Menu/DPAD and the device boots with the LED red.
Here is the serial output:

This isn't enough information for me to know what to do next, but maybe gives one of you experts some ideas of what else I could try.
Thanks
