Reader won't shutdown anymore

My rooted T1 won't shut down anymore. The orange light just keeps blinking, but nothing happens. I have to turn it off using the reset button. I already tried rescue set 1.04..., SD Card Rescue (twice), and factory reset. Nothing helped. Weird thing is, the Reader still says it's on firmware 1.04... (Settings - About - Device). Shouldn't it display 1.00/1.01 after SD Card Rescue? I'm wondering if I did it right. I just extracted the zip file's contents which is a folder named "OS Firmware". My SD Card now has that Folder "OS Firmware" in its root directory. I have several other directories there as well, filled with stuff like music etc. Could other folders interfere with the rescue process? However, now the reader seems not to be rooted anymore and all settings are lost. Still, it won't turn off. What to do now?
I have the feeling that those common rescue methods do not fully erase and overwrite the android partition...
Edit: I forgot to mention that I had to reset the Reader after 20 minutes of SD Card Rescue. The loading bar was white. Do you think it is necessary to wait longer (how long)? But I think it was just the shutdown issue here as well...
