Unfortunately Tesco removed the server files when they stopped selling/supporting the product so the unit gets half booted up and then locks in a state where almost nothing much works. If you ever let your Hudl battery run right down you are screwed. We did before we realised that it would be a problem. Tesco do not offer any support.
I wonder if it is possible to Root it and drop in another OS without gaining full access to the unit first? Lineage seems to offer replacement OS's or many tablets but I don't see one for Hudl in their listings.
I have gurgled for a way forwards but I don't really know what to search for...........
