When I finally get to open my new Touchpad (my better half has quarantined it :sad
I'm looking to do some really low level hacking (bootloader level) but before I do, I need to know if there is any way to 'de-brick' it if it gets 'perma-bricked'
Most bricking does not impact the bootloader so there will still be a recovery mode in the bootloader which is accessed by holding various button combinations. But if I trash the bootloader then it's pretty much game over unless I can get in at a hardware level (i.e. craking open the case) and restoring the bootloader.
So does anyone know if anyone has found a way to program the onboard bootrom which contains the bootloader? I have heard something about an onboard SD Card device - This might hold the bootloader but I would really like to know what I am up against before I turn by Touchpad into a paperweight :androidwink:
