I followed this guide in order to root it. Didn't flash the recovery as I stupidly thought that would allow me to easily reset to factory if needed.

After performing a factory reset I'm left with nothing. Core OS is still operational, screen turns off, rotates, Kobo cover works, and I can see the time and remaining battery. That's it, it's otherwise totally blank.

I can adb sideload in recovery mode (theoretically, I've not actually tried yet). Apparently I need to get hold of a stock ROM and sideload it, although I'm not sure on this (by now it should be apparent I'm completely clueless here).

Does anyone know if there's anything I can do?
1. probably the mods need to move this thread from the E-Reader section into the Tablet one, as you have zero chances to get another reply here
2. Try posting in the XDA thread, as dazaaa is responsive and might have an advice.
3. Are you sure this is not just the launcher that is fubar?

All I can tell you is that I followed the same procedure on my 10HD but NEVER factory default it - so I don't know if that triggered your issue.
If I understood you correctly, you have no access to the ROM or apps. Not sure what you could sideload at this point as I have not seen any ROM floating around to flash. Pretty low developper interest on the device
