download the untouched tolino firmware dump from this site http://naberius.de/category/linux/programming/kernel/. look for backup_internal_sd_shine_after_sys_recover.img.gz. write the image to sd card (dont just copy), insert in internal slot and boot up.
the recovery.img is for rooting the device afterwards. copy to sd and insert in external slot. follow instructions on the guide.

the tolino fw is in german !
you can switch to english in android later.
this doesnt affect the tolino reader, it stays german.
for changing language, tap on "Einstellung", then "Sprache & Tastatur" and "Sprache auswählen".

Viel Erfolg !

edit: when i switch to english on android and reboot i get sytemcrashes on every start up. dont know if this is a known issue or its just me.
i dont really care because my native language is german
