I found a recovery to use that's actually built for the LTE + WiFi version while scorpion_windy is WiFi only.

I´d love to try this OS on my old tablet, but the link to the SailfishOS file doesn´t work anymore. Is it possible for you to restore the link?

@M1chiel7 not sure I still have the files somewhere, you can build the OS using HADK and the sources in my github repos. :)

Thanks for your reply! I am a poor user so building the OS would require a steep learning curve :-)
