Reflashing involves redboot and a separate 'upgrade kernel' which you normally don't touch. You can always reflash as follows: extract a firmware update to the SD card (see support.irexreader.com), insert the card into the device and hold power switch to reset. This will restore everything on the device, including the kernel, except settings stored in /home/root/.
