Hey Mike, you wouldn't still happen to have that signed update.zip since you've don't have it on Dropbox anymore?
They are still there, alas dropbox has made it so I need to hand out a pseudo link to each individual file rather than the "generic" linking I previously did, blah blah blah mandatory increase in security, blah blah blah. I was honestly wondering how long it was going to be until I was asked to correct this. As it turns out the answer is five months.

I'll try and amend the hyperlinks to reflect this & post them here once I have done so.

references:
Fastboot (previously this): This is a copy of the twrp/cwm roms as well as fastboot & adb taken from tegratools 2.2 mentioned above.
SignApk (Previously this): The java files and self signing certificate I used to sign the .zip file. It was actually a bit of a pain to find a working signapk.jar that had the valid certificates included, most were broken in one way or another when trying to sign on ubuntu 12.04.
slate7update-signed.zip (previously this): A signed copy of update.zip with META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script modified to remove the assert validation lines sanity checks, be careful with this, you could nuke your tablet if you use it on an incompatible bit of hardware.
guide.txt (previously this): A full how-to with a number of things I've omitted from this response.
