N905C image needed

Well, I feel really dumb. I read this thread before doing anything to my SD card, but still I managed to break it. I backed up the card prior to doing anything, but I used Disk Utility on Mac OS X to do so. Mac users, heed this warning: use dd in the terminal to image your SD card, NOT Disk Utility. By default, Disk Utility will make a compressed image that it may refuse to write back to the SD card later. This image file will not work in dd. If you convert the image to a raw format with Disk Utility or hdiutil, it will write with dd, the three partitions are there, but something seems to be missing and the Kobo will not boot.

I played with Marek's Android v2 image and it was fun, but I'd like to put the factory image back on the original SD and play with a different card to avoid this misfortune again. If it's not too much trouble, would someone please PM me the N905C image link?

Regards,
Reid
