Just checking, are you looking for a permanent flash or a simpler hack? cause if u're looking a simple plug-in-and-activate hack, there's already a guide:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20644

As for the unicode fonts, you can download them here:

and

I will be working on a more complete flashing guide once I have the time to spare

Just applied the update, now all me unicode encoded files work!

Can the "Custom" file folder be deleted once the flash has completed, or are those files in that directory still being utilized?

Also, for others out there looking to apply this mod as well,

One must use the memorystick drive, NOT the SD drive for this flash update to work, possibly to prevent mounting directory inconsistency.

I noticed the clock on the buttom right was enabled and find it very useful. Is
there anything else that was added during the flash?

One problem found was that even after 50 minutes, the Reader no longer automatically goes to standby mode. Is this intentional or a bug?

In any case, thanks for writing the guide, it was well documented and easy to follow!!!

Well, deleting the Custom folder will result in your Reader falling back to using the default non-unicode fonts on your Reader's flash. Anyway, I've updated my guide to reflect this point.

As for using memory stick or SD, I've worked with both types of card and I didn't really encounter any problem.

As for additional hacks, I didn't include them as they which might complicate matters for people following the guide. Rest assured that I will be adding them in over the next few days.

I didn't encounter the problem with standby mode, I've had my reader going to standby mode without any major issues.
