8065 Users: Require Stock boot.img To Help Custom Firmware Development

[tpaine]

*******************************************
UPDATE--- 11-14-13

After further inspection, It appears my entire dump of system files + boot, recovery and bootloader may be bad due to simple booting (no changes) a 7065 recovery We could really use a complete 8065 backup/dump.
********************************************

Our great Coby developer vampirefo is working on custom firmware for Gen 4 devices. He has already produced several custom recoveries, CWM and others for the 7065.

The 7065 cwm recovery will not work properly for the 8065- in fact it can damage 8065 tabs. He is willing to develop a custom cwm recovery for the 8065.

The problem is, the boot.img from my tablet seems to be corrupted. I have tried several times to backup the file, but get the same boot.img

So, this is a call to any 8065 users who have rooted or are considering rooting their tablet. Please backup and post for
download your boot.img file so we 8065ers can have cwm, too.

Thanks a lot for your boot.img file. It looks good as far as I can tell, vampirefo will have to check it out for sure.

Thanks to bludot and vampirefo, we now have a costom recovery for the 8065. As of now, it is run from ext-sdcard. But it works well.

See this post for more info:

This requires no modification to your tablet, just a micro-sdcard.
