Hi Graham, I have space on my server and currently use almost no bandwidth, so I don't think I'd have any problems hosting downloads.

You can email me at XXXXXXXXXXX. US if you'd like me to help. I'm in the USA in the eastern time zone.

Hi gmarkall

I have been teacher for forty years and I am ashamed I never did (being paid) the half you are doing for free for people you dont know leaving anywhere in the world.

The thing I like the much in your post is "I decided to make this guide available early, so that you may familiarise yourself and prepare for when the links are available."

That's great because if the download has been immediately available everybody , myself first, so tired of a bricked device, would have tried without even read the entire post and then would have cried because it doesn't work.

Regardless the result of the process for my device, I want to thank you and, as I cannot reward you, I'll now spend a bit of my time to try to give solutions on the net to people in my subject (economics).

If the web is a good thing, it's too (mostly) for this

Greetings

Seems I can't edit the original post now that people have replied to it! I'll ask a mod about editing the OP when I have all the links together. For now, I'll post replies containing the links as they become available. Here is the A1107 ICS 16GB link:

You must use the bootable SD. Once you have flashed part1, your recovery will be the stock one, which will prevent you from flashing parts 2 and 3.

Many thanks for your kind words - I really appreciate it! 

My intention wasn't really to force people to read the guide first, although I guess that is a handy side-effect of not having the links ready immediately :-)

Good luck with unbricking your tablet - I'll of course monitor this thread for questions/queries :-)
