Help Me Please- 505 wont update firmware

Hello...while I have been lurking around here for quite some time this is my first post. I finally got up the courage to try the PRScustumizer after reading the entire thread on it and thinking I would ok.

I had firmware version 1.1.01.25200. which was not supported so I did option 7 to try and reload the firmware from sony to 1.1.00.18040. I followed all of the instructions on sony's site. My reader was fully charged. But now I have been stuck on "installing new software" for around 3 hours.


What do I do now? Shouldnt have messed around with it since I have never had any problems until now. And I was in the middle of a REALLY good book too.

thanks in advance for any help!!
K.

Check out the following thread on PRS+

The installation manual as PDF you can find here (you can also contact me via e-mail which is noted within the installation manual). Here you should be able to find something about downgrading the firmware:
