True, but there are people reporting re-occurring issues with the dictionary and such that other people have never seen. So that means either there is some bad data that a factory reset doesn't fix or a hardware problems. If it was a firmware issue, EVERYONE would have that problem.
In the past I've recovered a bricked reader, that among other things required using Porkupan's rescue package. (It then requires some hex editing to fix firmware version numbers and reflashing to the current one.)
By extension, there are restore-sets, design for de-rooting, but IIRC completely wipe the internal storage. So while it may take some hex editing as mentioned above, at that point, there should be nothing left of any remnant crap from a bad firmware flash.
