I'm in the bricked club.

H2O lost the ability to install updates. Every time I tried, it got stuck and drained its battery trying (stuck for hours) then when I plugged it back it, it'd do a factory reset and as part of the setup immediately try to install updates again and wedge. Pulling it apart and trying to dump the SD card before doing anything, trying to read from blocks throw a read error and the SD card goes offline. Ladies and gentleman, this 4gb Sandisk microsd card that shipped with the H2O is toast.

I should have rooted this thing the easy way (backdoored KoboRoot.tgz in .kobo) when I first got it so I back that up.

Are any of you who got an image for the internal card (uboot, kernel, some greyscale waveforms that aren't mine, etc) still monitoring this thread? Can you please pass it on?
