Well, we will see if Lab126 ever fixed their "erase all" bug - -

As part of "erase all" - the command re-writes u-boot with the u-boot image executing the command
AND
is (or was) intended to save and then restore that device and owner specific data.

I.E: If the device has a serial number after the ixtab (4) images are used, then the "erase all" command has been fixed.

If not - -
Then buy a used PW2 (look for one that works but has a broken screen) -

Then you have a choice -
Put your screen in the broken one -
or
Copy the device data from the broken one into yours.
Then discard the broken one - if two devices hit the 'net with the same "private" information - Amazon's system will black list the pair of them. Ask Twobob, it happened to him.
