antonizoon · 06-23-2014, 11:50 AM

Hi, I have a Dutch PRS-T2N on 1.0.01, and I'm trying to get it rooted.

I originally envisioned reflashing the PRS-T2N to a european firmware using the SD recovery, but I read about a person who did the same with his Japanese PRS-T2 and bricked it.

So instead, does anyone know exactly what it takes to port the root to another variant of the PRS-T2? Do I need a system image dump? How do I modify the root package? (I can do a bit of scripting, just need to understand how)

I noticed that on the PRS-T1, a similar port was necessary for the Japanese version, so I'd like to do the same.
