Hello all;
[ if you want to skip the reading, my question itself is at the ending ]
About a week ago, I rooted and customized my PRS-T1...

I'm satisfied with everything the reader can accomplish (more than I'd have thought is possible)...
=> but for several days now, my reader app is behaving bad; it's OK for normal reading, but when I close it, I get an error (stopped unexpectedly, try again or something like that - and then force close button);
the same happens when I go (in the reader app) to Options >> More >> Settings (or preferences in English, I don't know): same error;

I thought, something wrong with the permissions (had to do a reset a while before that, installed fixPermissions app - but that only does data-apps, no system-apps)...
Then I tried the fix_permissions script, running via the terminal emulator on the device itself (no adb installed)... as response I get: "shift: can't shift that many";
so, opened the script on the pc, saw an option "-f" for only specifying the apk; I tried to find the apk of the built-in reader app, if I'm correct, it's at /system/app/EbookReader.apk (reinstalling of that doesn't work ); so I run: "fix_permissions -f /system/app/EbookReader.apk", but that doesn't help neither (anymore? I think it once worked, but after cold boot, was all over again and running fix_permissions helped nothing)....

Now I'm thinking of getting started "fresh" again (a little more experienced now)...
=> I've seen some "initialization" entry in the settings of the reader; one option to format the memory, and an option to restore the defaults....
I also saw the "factory reset" entry on the wiki (which is very helpful)...

But I don't know what having to do now;
=> I have an extended partition on my microSD, with apps linked to it;

Just format the memory, restore the defaults and a factory reset: is that enough to start fresh, or do I first have to undo the rooting, or copying some image file again? [yes, everything should be formatted, I'm not going to loose the files ]

Thanks in advance!
