I wouldn't be surprised if Kobo was fairly unusual in that regard.
If the Sony firmware has been borked, it is likely beyond the help of a factory restore.

I can also now confirm that a factory restore does not reset to the original firmware on a T1, I suspect that's also true of the T3. Sorry for going a bit off topic there.
If there is a power drain, then something is running in the background. Weird, but could his T3 be infected with a virus for the android OS? I wouldn't know how to scan one of these to find out.
