Hey, hello to everybody. I report that rooting a SONY PRS-T1 with firmware 1.0.03.11140 upgraded yesterday (17-I-2012) does not work at all.

I tried formatting the READER partition and got the same results: nothing.

I tried rooting from Linux Kubuntu Oneiric, and also from a W$ XP 32bit with no results.

A) The procedure for the Linux case was the following:

1) Copy the contents of the sdcard folder to the /READER partition, that is, /tmp and /updates, along with the PRS-T1 updater.package file. In sum:

/READER/tmp/
/READER/updates/
/READER/PRS-T1 Updater.package

(I also tried /READER/sdcard without /READER/tmp + /READER/updates; also /READER/sdcard with them; I've even tried moving everything in the minimal-root folder to the READER with no result...)

2) Unplug the e-reader and shutdown it completely.

3) Turn on the e-reader and wait till the circling arrows appear, then press immediately the HOME button (3rd button) + the MENU button (5th one) during more than 5 seconds. Result: the e-reader does not notice at all, in fact it shows the default usual home page in less than 5 seconds!


B) In the W$ case, I formatted (following montygew's suggestion on 01-13-2012, 05:04 PM ) the /READER partition and tried the flash_reader.bat procedure, but got the same result as when I tried without formatting, that is, the problem reported by FinancialWar user on 12-28-2011, 10:34 PM and montygew on 01-07-2012, 04:35 PM.

Then, I'm not sure if what oliwek (01-09-2012, 08:31 AM ) reports wil work in every case.

Do you know anything else I can try, or perhaps there's something I'm doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.


P.S.: BTW, could you guys report what Operating System are you using when tweaking the SONY? I think it would be very useful!
