I am having a similar problem. Whenever I connect my PRS-500 to USB it tells me USB is connected, then 2 seconds later it resets itself. This happens regardless of whether Sony Ebook Library is running. Yesterday I applied the universal flasher using main.xml and applicationstart.xml to get smaller fonts in the book list, and page turns with the joystick. I also put in a different font, renaming it appropriately.

I have tried doing a hard reset, which cleared all the data, but when I powered back on, I could still see the effects of the flasher and I still had the problem with USB connection causing reset. I did the 10 reset method, but after the 10th reset it just booted up normally. I tried reverting to factory settings from the Reader's Settings menu, but that didn't make any difference.

I'm unable to run the PRS-500 firmware updater because connecting my Reader to USB automatically causes it to reset. I'm in Ukraine and my options are limited. Any ideas?


EDIT: Sorry, I was able to fix this using my SD Card.
