    These were good instructions. I thought I had bricked the tab, but I followed your instructions again and got it installed. Thank you.

    Hello!, im running into a problem, after flashing the image successfully on step 11, i turn off the machine and proceed to connect it again. Once it shows up again in QFIL i go to tools but the partition manager option does not show. I have seen images of it on the internet but it does not show up to me. Any ideas? Windows 11 Pro by the way. Thank you for the video!

    Pretty cool that they found amother use for these. 8g of storage, That's rough. Not sure if was mentioned, how much of the 8gb is left after installing the OS. I have an old 8gb Fire Tablet with 8gb, flashed play store on it, and it has very little space after updates.
    Personally, I would probably spend a few more dollars on something with a bit more storage.
