Although it would be nice to think Tesco were in 'supportive mode' again, I suspect they won't go out of their way to help with follow-up problems. Higher management will have placed strict limits on available resource, so I would predict any assistance would be slow and patchy.
It would be really great to free our HUDLs from Tesco's clutches completely - although I'm no expert on the inner workings of Android, I'm sure there must be a way of amending the bootup process post-reset such that it bypasses the commands pointing at Tesco's servers. Now that we have full access to our tablets again (for now, anyway), I wonder if our local experts have any ideas on how to do this....
Given the longevity of these tablets and their continued popularity, it's quite likely we might be in a position in a couple of years time whereby Tesco pull server support again and we go back to square one. Nice to have a get-out clause in case that happens so we can avoid a repeat of all that angst....
Just thought I'd let you know I got my Hudls up & running again - thanks for all the information here!
I thought I'd share this detail as well for reference:

I guess 5 years is a long time in the world of IT, however I'm happy I now have usable devices for the kids on car journeys now!
Hopefully there will be a way to ensure future functionality should I need to factory reset them again!
