I successfully rooted my new PRS-T1, though after a failed install of an apk with not much space left and a reboot it got stuck showing the revolving arrows after the "Opening book..." screen. I had to restore the system with the sd card rescue image, which after a few tries worked (never got the rescue mode right), but I got the vanilla system back. First of all, did somebody else have a similar problem?
My next thought was, that if the problem was the space on the system partition, I'm just going to use the tip how to resize it. However, it seems that the steps on the wiki are just a copy of the google translation of the russian thread. They don't make sense completely, so I have no idea what the merging of the block device with ebook_msc has to do with it.
Apart from that almost everything worked like described. Except that I didn't use the internal but the external sd card to copy the tar file, so I did not need to reboot the PRS twice. Anyway after flashing the system partition and rebooting, I get stuck at the revolving arrows again, but this time not indefinitely but more in a boot loop like way, so it's the arrows revolving, screen refresh and the arrows again... even though if I go into recovery mode and connect with the serial console I see that the flashing of the system partition worked.
Did I do something wrong there, do I need to root it first (I can't see why?). Or is there some problem doing it from an external card? Is ext4 the right filesystem for the system partition?
Any help is very much appreciated! Oh and thanks for all the work and explanations already done, it's making the device so much better already! Would be great if the resizing also works....
