zum · 01-17-2012, 08:37 AM

Rooted the PRS-T1 and everything went ok. tried for an hour to check this. I left the device on sleep mode for 5 hours or so. When I tried to read smthing, a message appeared to introduce the 4 digit number. I own the device for 3 weeks and nothing like this happened before.

When I rooted the device, I entered a password, but it was for the android application part. And in the 1 hour testing nothing appeared to be broken.

I've tried the solutions for rescuing the device: the hard way -- factory reset and the from the wiki with the micro SD, but with no success. Every attempt of pressing the buttons (next, the loop bottom (back), respectively home and menu) brought the device to the same screen asking for the 4 digit numbers.

The bad part with the pass-worded device is that it doesn't mount (only it is recognized by the OS) and for the moment I cant do anything (from what Ive tried and read).

Hopefully some1 has encountered this situation and somehow has managed to solve it. If this is the case, pls share it or a workaround.

I can use as OS Windows XP and Debian@GnuLinux so I don't bother about the complexity. Maybe it is smthing which I didn't noticed about how to restore the functionality.
