Bricked Kobo Glow - Need Internal SD image Please...

My Wifes Kobo crapped out on her while we were on Holiday.

So I removed the External SD (where I keep the books), and did a reset (paperclip) , followed by a factory reset (boot whilst pressing Power+Light).

All was good and restored ok, I jumped onto the Hotel wifi to set the thing up and it kept looping to the setup screen.

I left it alone until I got home...

I factory reset it a few more times and tried a wifi setup again, with no luck...
I tried a tethered USB setup, and it also looped.

So stuck I popped the back of the case and had a look at the internal SD from windows, a diskscan showed that there was corruption on the card, which windows fixed.

I put it back into the Kobo, did a factory reset again, and this time during the reset it updated itself via the the USB tether, and I was able to login to the desktop software, and sync the Kobo, I ejected the Kobo via the desktop software, and it rebooted to the factory restoring screen, at which it stayed for more than 2 hours...

I pin reset it, and now it it won't factory restore...
Would someone kindly post an internal SD Card image, and I'll try to use that with a fresh SD...

Many thanks

All up and running again, although I think I have to retrieve the serial number, from my original SD and hexedit it into the new image.
I'll read up on it tonight....
