Bring back dev.mobileread.com and ALL of the files
Someone recently posted that he bricked his T1 trying to root it. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...87#post3432087

There is a thread that might be able to help. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=178263

The problem is that the files needed to maybe help were stored on dev.mobileread.com and that is no longer accessible. So can dev.mobileread.com be restored or can the files needed be placed someplace and the thread fixed to the links reference the files where they've been placed?

This is a case of removing resources could lead to someone's Reader being bricked forever.

dev.mobileread.com has been dead for some time. See the announcement of its demise here.

The files might be accessible through the Internet Archive (Wayback machine) at archive.org.

Here's a link to the last capture.

Wasn't a copy of all the file kept in case anyone actually needed any of them?

No idea.

I've given you a link to the closure thread, and a link to an online copy of the site.

If you need any further information, you'll need to ask Alex directly.

The person asking for help is out of luck. He's on the latest firmware and not the one that the recovery files will work with.

But, I do think that all threads and/or posts that rely on dev.mobileread.com being there should be deleted so nobody tries to find something that's no longer there.

A bit late... but for reference, projects.mobileread.com may have the answer:
