EDIT: but you will need your tablet to be connected to the internet.

Thanks everyone, glad to help out when I can. I may not know what the hell I'm doing but I can copy and past like no one else! 
@bunanson: No typos and I typed the whole damn thing on my n800!
@gemniii42: exactly, which is why step 6 is how to exit red pill mode.
Oh, and some more basic info, I did this on my N800 with OS2008 so I can't vouch for it's effectiveness on other systems.

That is how bunanson started with a 770, "I may not know what the hell I'm doing but glad to help out when I can", 10 monthes ago.
Keep up the good work, it is very rewarding and fun, and again, thanks for the step to step guide.

Right after 'Type cd kernel_flasher/' I needed to do a 'chmod +x *' to make the scripts executable.

That's odd, I used that method twice (once to do it, and once after I reflashed the kernel just to make sure I knew how) and never had to use 'chmod' ... which is good because I have no idea what it is.
Any chance other people can duplicate the results with/without chmod so we can figure out the difference?

Probably did. kernel_flasher has the right permissions by default and being in a tgz would preserve those permissions.

Edit: You guys already figure out

cool, glad that's taken care of. I'm a bit of a perfectionist so if I missed something I'd feel the need to update it immediately.
And a wiki of this might not be such a bad idea (including the chmod part should someone else use that method).
I'll see if I can figure out how to submit to said wiki unless someone else feels up to it.
