You could request a firmware image in the appropriate thread. Then open your Glo HD, remove the microSD card, flash the image to it, update the firmware, install any patches and add-ons (if you previously did), set your settings, load your eBooks and go.

Can you do a factory reset without knowing the pin?

The touch screen corners method (or hold light button method?) should trigger the factory reset before the system is even booted... so yes, should work. It will also format and delete everything so your files are somewhat protected regardless.

@dangdx
Did you manage to factory reset your device (or re-image the internal sd)? |
