Accidentally bricked by turning off while updating...
I am an idiot and didn't realize that I was turning my Kobo Clara HD off while it was installing an update. It's stuck on this screen. It doesn't matter if it's charging or the battery is completely disconnected, it's stuck on that screen.

I've tried every method I could find for resetting it, and I also swapped the SD card with the Clara SD card image.

Anyone have any last ditch efforts they could recomend?

Thanks!

Erik

You've probably seen it, but here's an old thread that talks about recovering from being bricked:

Since you've already replaced the disk image, though, I don't think it will be of much help.
