When I owed a PRS-505, it was quite easy to mod and use one of several methods to restore it from the dead if the screen became frozen or bricked.

Now with my new 950, I'm nervous in modding it with the neat firmware prepared by boroda (porkupan) and others..

If I were mod the unit and "brick" it, does anyone have a method to restore it with the original 950 firmware noted in this website?

Would I put the original firmware from this website on an SD card and try to restore the reader from it?

thanks.
