Plans to support 1.1.01.25200

I just got the prs505 and I'm pretty bummed about the lack of unicode support. Are there any plans to support the latest version: 1.1.01.25200

I'd rather not downgrade.

TIA,
Joel

I am trying to install new fonts, and I get the error "No space avaliable for making images. Try deleting some books." Needless to say. I have emptied the internal memory of the PRS-505

Is there a way to create the image in another partition (i.e. in the SD, or on my computer) instead of the PRS's internal memory?

I am not familiar with shell scripts, so I can't modify it myself. Can someone tell me how I can modify the script make_opt.sh to use the SD partition to create the image?

Found a way to fix the problem, by reflashing the original firmware on the PRS. It seems that repeated flashing with custom firmware was the cause of the problem.

Just got the PRS-505. I prefer de 6" (rather than the prs-300 5" or the 600 touch screen). But I was only able to get it from Germany (I'm Dutch). I would prefer the English or -if it exists- the Dutch menu-language.
The system has firmware 1.4.00.23260 Is there some way to get it to EN or NL with this firmware? And can someone help my through the process of doing this?

As I had a few issues restoring from a backup, it may be prudent to explain how to restore the image from the cramfs.Fsk and cramfs.Rootfs files that are created when you backup your firmware. I did spend a long time reading these forums but I missed it if it's identified anywhere

Out of interest, what is the cramfs.Fsk file as opposed to the cramfs.Rootfs file?

regards

If i use the universal flash 2.1, when the script run and press 4 or 5 depending on i want to do (restart image or create new image) appear the symbol prohibited next to the clock, and i can't nothing. If i use the version 2.0 instead of the 2.1 i can do what i want.
Thanks

You can't.

pthwaite
cramfs.Fsk - Fsk partition (/opt)
cramfs.Rootfs - Rootfs partition (/)

afaik only PRS+ installer's advanced menu allows you to flash Rootfs.
