Hi,
I just got my PRST1 yesterday and am trying to root it. I am a newbie to this. I've gone through the wiki page, and have tried to reboot in recover mode as indicated, but I must be doing something wrong as I am just unable to get it to that state.
I have tried turning the device off, and holding down the menu and home (middle and right-most) buttons while turning on the device. I see the status bar hit 100% and have released the buttons. The light on the power button is flashing yellow. The device then continues to restart its boot sequence (the status bar starts over) and the light turns red and the device completes its boot sequence.
If I try to hold the buttons down longer, it just keeps recycle the status bar from 0 ->100% over and over again.
If I try to plug the unit into the PC at this point, I don't get any Gadget Serial adapter in the device manager (I have even forced a rescan to no avail).
I have also tried ebook_msc with no success either.
Code:
./ebook_msc.exe name "PRS-T1" um recovery
Sony Reader MSC utility 1.06 (c) 2009 Igor Skochinsky, Vladimir Boroda
avail: 0
openDrive [\\.\E:]: 1
usbInitCheck: 0
It reboots the unit, but upon reboot, it restarts as normal. Once again, no option for a Gadget Serial.
It is a brand new PRST1 with firmware: 1.0.04.12210
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Eric
