Hi all! I'd love some advice on getting my beloved reader back from an attempted flash with the UF 2.1. I've tried all the common fixes to revive the device. This is the sequence of events:
- Latest Sony FW on the prs-500
- Ran UF 2.1
- Press 5 - success
- Press 6 - failed (error while flashing partition)
- Power off\on - hard\soft reset - Stuck at "Starting up"
- Reset 10x - success
- Screen at "Updating Firmware now..."
- Full overnight charge
- Cannot trick updater into enabling "Update" button
- Screen still at "Updating Firmware now..."
I ran igor's ebook python script, but that did not help either. It did put the reader back to the frozen "Starting up" page, and a 10x reset got me back to the "updating firmware now" page.
I have searched for the original firmware without success. I no longer have the original installation disc to attempt a reinstall as someone pointed out in another thread.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
