If that is true, why does the Wiki say you can connect to your PC, install drivers, and send shell commands while your device is "in Recovery Mode"? Are the following instructions complete ?
From the Wiki:
Boot into Recovery Console
Many sections on this page assume you
know how to remotely boot into the
recovery console before typing commands.
This is one of many ways to do it (here via
basic telnet-style console on a PC linked to
PRS-T1 via USB cable) with the PRS-T1.
1. Install a terminal emulator such as
PuTTY (Windows) or minicom (Linux)
on your PC or other device.
2. Put your PRS-T1 into recovery mode.
There are 3 ways to achieve that:
Open preinstalled Test Mode app via
launcher and press "Reboot
(recovery)"
Via ADB shell or in Terminal Console
app type "chgboot recovery &&
reboot"
Be sure that there is no SD Recovery
image on external SD card and press
and hold Home + Menu buttons
while rebooting
PRS-T1 will reboot and as soon as progress
bar "Opening Book" is at 100% with power
light flashing, it's ready:
1. Connect USB cable to PRS-T1 and PC.
2. In Windows, agree to install standard
device driver and note the associated
COM port e.g. "COM10" (also visible
in Device Manager), open PuTTY,
switch to "Serial" connection type,
and change name of "Serial line" to
match COM port e.g. "COM10". Open
the connection.
3. In Linux, start minicom with option -s
and set the serial device name (Serial
port setup->Serial Device) according
to the found one (see kernel
messages with 'dmesg' command),
most probably /dev/ttyACM0, turn
echo off via Ctrl+A Z E
4. Press enter -> Login prompt appears,
type "root". The # prompt should
appear. You can now remotely control
the PRS-T1 e.g. in order to resize
system partition as explained below.
5. in order to leave recovery mode, just
type "reboot" at the recovery console.
