Edit: My 505 is now stuck with frozen rotating arrows.

Hi. I hope I am posting this in the right place. I am trying to install PRS+ on my Sony PRS-505 but have been unsuccessful. I hope someone can help me figure out what I am doing wrong.

To start, would someone please clarify these instructions in the readme file: "Unpack PRSPInstaller folder from this archive to the internal memory of the reader." At first I thought that meant to copy the folder PRSPInstaller from my PC hard drive to the 505. That didn't work. I thought maybe "unpack" referred to unzipping. So, I copied the folder PRSP_505_2.0.18.zip to the 505 and unzipped it there. This time the install screen came up!

I got a message that said "Your firmware version is not supported. If you install PRS+, your firmware will be overwritten with supported version." I chose to Install PRS+. When the install was completed, I got this message:
Failed, check log for errors.

Log
Copying tools to /tmp. . . OK
Saving BootImg . . OK Rootfs2 . . .OK Root fs. . . OK Fsk. . . OK

!!!ERROR!!! invalid type

Edit: I have updated my firmware. I have been unable to get anything to come up after disconnecting from the PC other than the rotating arrows, which then freeze. I ran the PRS+ Uninstall. My 505 is now stuck with the frozen rotating arrows. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you.
