MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - PRS-500 What file to change to re-update reader with latest update?

pitolee · 05-24-2007, 09:13 PM

Tried to change fonts but bricked the reader. Can't get beyond the starting up page... by itself it keeps rebooting every minute or so and gets as far as the start up page.

It doesnt do the ten resets for some reason, but it seems that it will accept a computer link to update...

However when I run the PRS-500 updater it checks its internals and says its already up to date...

I read somewhere in this forum that it was an easy change to fool the updater into reupdating.. something like making a 1 a 0 in one of the update files...

but I cannot find it.

Somebody please help me.

I'm trying... but I'm not very good at all this.. as you can see.. But that doesn't stop me from trying...
