I have a PRS650.

Yesterday I decided to try the latest PRS+ 2.0.11beta.

So I wanted to take my reader from firmware 1.0.00.08100 to 1.0.00.14080

Originally I tried PRS-650 Updater from the PRS+ {roject site and it failed. Tried multiple attempts. Reader kept rebooting afterwards.

So then I downlaoded the firmware from Sony's site directly and it failed. Tried multiple attempts. Reader kept rebooting afterwards.

Then I thought to pop out the SD Card and the reader would boot but the about screen still had PRS+ and firmware version 1.0.00.08100

I tried both installers to 14080 again but both failed.

Next I tried the original firmware updater on boroda's site. That worked first try and I was now at firmware 14080. Thanks boroda!

After that getting PRS+ and the russified firmware unto my 650 went smoothly.

The only thing is sometimes if the SD Card is in when cold booting the reader it goes into a loop. I thoguht deleting the Sony directory it creates on the SD Card solved this but sometimes it still exhibits this reboot behaviour.

Also in the previous PRS+ version I was able to open books directly off the reader. Now it wants to copy it to internal memory first. Not a big deal tho.

If I had 1 request it would be a reboot reader button. If that would be possible that would save a lot of wear and tear on the power slide button.

Thanks for all your hard work guys. And Please keep it up!
