Thankfully I have not allowed it to hit 17 reboots yet. I was under the impression that my issue was not the same as the reboot issue everyone else was having (my device has never rebooted itself while it was turned on and booted up). It's an issue where it seems to immediately turn itself on when a battery is inserted without any intervention on my part and begin rebooting. I'll give R&D mode a shot and see what that does. Thanks for the input guys!
