bricked Glo HD
Hello,
I tried to install a hack. Now my Glo HD is in a boot loop. It is not possible to turn the reader of. Is there any SD Card image available? |

this SOLUTION works for me
from another forum: - Ensuring the device is off by holding the power button down for at least 20 seconds. - Turn the device on but hold the button down. - Tap both the bottom corners of the screen. - When the restoring message is displayed, let the power button go. I dont't know why I cannot find this information on the kobo website |

It looks like this is a factory reset sequence. Considering how much Kobo support wants you to factory reset, it should be readily available, especially now that the paperclip hole is no longer a feature of the design.

The finger tap method has been mentioned on MR a few times.

Does every of these factory resets methods has the same result? They initialize ereader from scratch? Or maybe the factory reset from settings menu just clears ebooks and settings? I'm just curious.

The clue is in the name: "Factory Reset". No matter how you start it, a factory reset always takes you back to that fresh from the factory state. Though it doesn't clean the screen.
The only other reset is using the pinhole. That forces a restart of the device. Nothing should be lost. |

But of course, depending on the mod that does no longer work. The finger tap on power on always works, unless you messed with the boot loader. |
