Look for Help of unbrick PRS 700

EBadp · 07-19-2016, 05:33 AM

I tried to upgrade a PRS 700 Flasher for add Chinese Font by myself base on the PRS 600 firmware of Experts in this forum(many thanks), and get success and very happy . Then I tried to change the menu to Chinese from English.
But this time I was very failure, the Reader can't be refalshed anymore, always is stop on the "Starting up...". I look for unbrick of PRS X00 many times, and did more kinds of possible unbrick methods, i.e. reset and hard reset, recharger the power, rewrite the reader...
I think maybe the brick reason was the Battery is too low when I do the upgrade for menu change.
Now the PRS 700 can be charge (Charge light is Red), and be indentified by PC, can be write and delete. Also USB has connected can be display on Reader about 5 minutes after USB cable linked and back to the "Starting up..." page about 5 minutes after USB be pull out.
Does anybody can give me a unbricked way?

Your thread has now been moved out of the Introduce Yourself Forum and into the Sony Forum.
