I see the problem. Fortunately, the most common result of file system corruption is a boot to a "chequerboard" pattern on the screen, in which state it will mount via USB and allow reformatting. As you say, if it's constantly rebooting, that's not an option!
I agree that it would have been a LOT more sensible to have the firmware on a purely "internal" partition that the user couldn't access, and which would thus have been immune to corruption.
