If you can't get Jeff's program to work, this should alleviate one issue. As always, place the file in Code:
files.505.1.1.00.18040\opt\sony\ebook\application\resources\scripts Good luck. |

Any chance of someone posting the original icons? I love all the other options, but I prefer the original (1.1.00.18040) icons. Thanks!

TLDR Version: redo the firmware first before running the flasher more than once. |

You should probably run the stock updater from Sony all over again before trying to reflash. What you should do is unzip the updater (which is an .exe file but can be unzipped) into a folder, and find the PRSVersion.dat file and edit it using notepad, change the last 0 to a 1 and then you can run the updater from the unzipped folder any time you like to return your Reader to the new stock update. THEN run the universal flasher.

If you have previously customized your Reader, you will probably have to perform a reflash using the Sony PRS-505 Updater prior to using this software. This is due to a bug in the flasher which Igorsk is aware of.

Thanks everyone!
Reflashing did the trick. I entered the firmware update mode in the flasher, which basically erased the firmware on my 505. Then I was able to run the firmware updater from Sony. After doing that, reflashing worked like a charm. Love all the improvements! dordale |

A suggestion to all those that like to customize your readers: After seeing the file kBookAssets.png I wonder if you could also change the black bar on the bottom of the reader's screen: Maybe turning it to grey, adding your name to it or even using a small pattern or image. It seems that it would work (and make a lot of difference, huh?).
But.... I wonder if we could turn it off and use ALL precious screen space for reading! |

I couldn't get it to work on my Reader, maybe it's because I'm using a micro SD card with an SD adapter.

Didnt work on my PRS-505 either, loaded from a 2 Gig SD card, I have FW 1.1.00.18040.

Guardian & Catire, I have no idea why flashing didn't take. First, I'd re-apply the Sony update and try to customize again. Then, look for log files on your cards and see if something needs to be reported to Igorsk.

Any way to Un-Brick my PRS-505? After attempting the flash PRSCustomizer, the screen sicks at initial screen "Reader starting up". Reset, mark + vol and reconnecting to computer do nothing. It is not seen as a drive any longer.
Do I buy a new one? Or does someone have a good idea? |
