As the title has stated, any update on the universal flasher for the 505?

There have been no firmware updates since the 505 was released.

Sorry, I mean universal flasher for the hack on 505

I was able to flash the firmware but managed to brick my Reader, probably because of some mistake I did when editing the xml files. Since there's no official flasher I could use to unbrick it (any Sony engineers reading this: hint, hint!) , I'm currently mulling over whether to send it back or wait for an update. Either way, it's not ready for release yet.

oh... I'm sorry to hear that... I wish sony will release the officical flasher soon.

If it is within a month and if you are located in the US , I think you can bring it back to the sony store and exchange it with no question ask.

I had mine exchange without really showing the receipt.

igorsk is definitely not in the U.S. :wink:

It was said that Sony was going to release a firmware upgrade (Adobe Digital Editions?) in January. Let's pray this is true, so you get your Reader back to life!! :pray:
