Firmware update on rooted device?

I currently have a rooted (AMR) Sony PRS T1 1.0.04.xx and want to upgrade it to a Sony PRS T1 1.0.0.05.xx with the current AMR version. What is the recommended procedure? Can I just do a firmware upgrade and then install the new AMR version or should I use a restore package before doing the firmware upgrade?

You could easily install it yourself (just grab it from previous AMR version) - most people were uninstalling it, so it is simple "majority rule".

I have no idea what those settings do...

You need to completely UNINSTALL everything (by doing restoration from backup or by using proper restore set, do not forget to explicitly remove Apps2SD if you have one installed). You need device in "original" state! Than install upgrade normally - using Sony procedures and after that install proper version of AMR, Apps2SD, whatever...

The 1.0.0.4.xx restore set is not working for says "device not ready". I tried running the rupor amr flash_reader.bat and it didn't have the same problem (though I chose "no" when it asked me if i really wanted to run it because it would be for the wrong firmware)

Update: For the reset to work you have to have a micro-sd card in your sd card slot, worked now

Probably you used the SD restore set which requires the presence of a microSD card in place.

The previous restore set that does not require a microSD card is no longer available on Boroda's flask packages list.

What package would one use to un-root from the minimal-root.zip?

Ok, think I know, just restore set with the matching firmware. edit: apparently not. edit. I was doing it wrong. Trying again.

Working. But I probably should have used restore-set 1.0.05 instead of restore-set.

edit, all done and works fine so I guess it was ok to use the restore-set.

Hi,
I did not know about rupor's AMR so I rooted my PRS-T1 (1.0.05.11130) using the minimal-root.zip. Will I have to un-root first before I can apply the AMR?

If yes, how do I do that?

TIA and best regards,
Elek

Download and flash the appropriate restore set from the this page. This will "undo" the flashing and restore your Reader to it's original state.

Then flash the rupor AMR package.

Thanks for your reply. I got the 1.0.05.11130 version in German. Can I use the restore-set-1.0.05.11130-us.zip in spite of that? And then again apply PRS-T1_Updater_1.0.05.11130.exe (German) from Sony?

I can only find restore-set-1.0.05.11130-us.zip but I got 1.0.05.11130 in German. Does it matter?

Thanks for your reply!

Best regards,
Elek

I bought mine in France and used the restore set without any problems. Go ahead and flash the restore set.
There's no need to flash the Sony firmware update after. You can't even if you wanted to. If you try, you'll get an error telling you you already have the latest firmware.

Hello! My PRS T1 doesn't answer. It tries to switch on, but it arrives at the end of "opening book" and it stops there. Before that, I used the restore set 1.0.05.11130 and I formatted the sd card, I operated also the factory reset because something was wrong. The last Rupor root was installed since one year ago, but the device was full of others programs and it worked slowly. In the last time, also, all my books were shown twice (even if only one copy of each book was there). Now I cannot remember the exact procedure I did, because I had to leave and I stopped everything there. everything was good. My ebook reader was empty but worked. Later then I installed again the last Rupor AMR 1.0.05.11130. Now I have this problem. I tried many times to reset it, but it continues in the same way. And the PC doen't recognise it. Can you help me?
Thank you
I attach the file script there is in the sd card (it is in another thread)

My T1 is alive! I have solved the problem, looking for the solution up and there. I inserted the directory OS FIRMWARE of the restore-set 1.0.05.11130-us in the sd card and I followed, more or less, the instructions 3.12 of the Rooting and tweaks PRST1 forum. Now I have to root it again.
Bye
