I did everything as instructed, successfully ran option 5 on the reader, it rebooted, and when I ran opt 6 I get the message "/tmp/self_upgrade/new_opt.img not found". Any advice?
Thanks. |

Understood, but the reboot after 5 happened by itself - I didn't start it. Any ideas why that might have happened?

Well, no. BUt considering that we are flashing hacks to the firmware, before I try to make something like this continue when I get a malfunction, I thought it would be prudent to see if anyone has seen this before and if there is a known fix. I don't want to "brick" the thing after all.
BTW, I am running the latest update from Sony on the PRS-505, with no prior customization, so I did not rerun the updater before doing this. The warning seemed to be only for those who had hacked/customized before. Thanks. |

Bizarre. I tried it again and this time it worked as expected. I am now rebooting. Hopefully I will see success.....

In other words, double check that the sd card is filled with fresh files. |

Just out of curiosityI tried to re-customize to change the about screen and selct a different icon set. Based on the above, I deleted all the files on the SD card, reformatted it, and re-extracted a fresh et of files to he card, along with placing the modified file into the correct folder for the personalized about screen.
When I tried to reflash (opt 6) the Reader had a message that amounted to needing to rerun the Sony updater; I guess this means that we really do have to go back to reflashing the orignial firmware update each time before running this, or did I miss a step? Thanks. |

You wouldn't normally need to, in my experience, although I'm not clear exactly what the condition is that triggers needing to do so, if you see what I mean...

Oh, well. I will watch for the announcement of the bug fix and keep my SD card at the ready. Thanks!
