See the section titled "Installation without MS Windows" from http://translate.google.com/translat...hp%3Ft%3D21458 I just modified the procedure slightly to avoid the non-standard rooting files and just use Sony's original firmware... |

Fixed now
Hi all.
I thought I'd let everyone know the outcome of my problem. I took the device into the local Sony repair centre before Christmas and got a call to say they'd fixed it a couple of days later. They had done a "factory reset" and they said it was working now. As I'd already done a factory reset I know this was not the case but you can't argue with them. So I went in and picked it up, plugged it into my usb charger in the car on the way home and 2 minutes later it was cycling (reboot, whirly circle, reboot) again so I took it straight back and they said they would replace it this time. With delays due to holidays and lack of local stock, I finally picked up the new reader last week and since then, it hasn't missed a beat and I'm well happy with it! So, if your PRS-T1 is crashing and cycling it's a hardware fault and the device needs to be replaced. Thanks all. Terry. |

@guru, you are replying to a post from 2011. The people in this thread with a problem have most likely moved on.

The different versions/name could be region related.

The T1 seems to be a lemon, just flakey.

I am not that sure.
T1 was my first eReader and is still in use. It still works as intended, even the dictionary look-up. I admit, I never used it to browse the internet (A) nor to borrow/loan/download eBooks from online providers/vendors (B). A - because the internet is full of hidden dangers, in particular for a device that hasn't been designed to be a browser. One innocent example: imagine what happens with the rendering of an ePub with lots of formatting, fonts and pictures, when the working memory is filled with trash left there by the internet activities (commonly known as cache, cookies, temp data) - images will be loaded incompletely, the letters are not those needed, maybe rendering errors - who's gonna criticise himself when he can very well bash Sony and her faulted firmware? There are also malicious examples. B - I don't need these, I have my own sideloaded collection of books. ANd few modern books really deserve to be read. |

My T-1 is still going strong. The only problem I had with it was when I imported a "flakey" book into it via Calibre. Deleting the book solved the problem.

I annotate a lot. Apart from that it was OK.

We have three T1's. One has some occasional quirks that require a paperclip reset, the other two are currently solid.
One DID occasionally lock into boot loops, but the last time I did the recovery I took it's firmware back several versions and then flashed directly to the most recent. It has been rock solid for the past 3 years now. I think the consecutive firmware updates may account for some readers working worse than others. |

My T1 worked well for several years until it started locking up when looking up a word. I moved on to a T3 that hardly ever locked up. I just assumed the T1 was having problems due to age.
