Bricked Aura Edition 2

[Redtinkle]

Hi people, as you all seem to be way smarter than I am I am hoping you can help me with my problem.
I purchased a Kobo Aura Edition 2 in February this year, I opened the unit and installed XCSoar software and hardwired a BlueFlyVario_TTL_GPS_v12 for use in hang gliding. I also updated the firmware.
My problem was caused when I enabled USB-OTG. The result is now the unit appears to be Bricked.
Is there anyway to recover the unit or is it terminal?
Thankyou in advance.

You might want to ask this question in the Kobo Developer's Forum.

What firmware did you update to? If it is still running the underlying Kobo firmware, then a factory reset might get it working. The instructions for this are in the Wiki. Or you can find them on the Kobo support site.

If that doesn't work, you will probably need to restore an image to the internal SD card. I think that is what @rcentros was referring to when suggesting asking in the developer's forum. There is a thread there for each device to request the appropriate images. Posting the exact same question in multiple places never helps. It is better to ask a moderator to move the post if you think that will help.
