All devices have Linux recovery kernel image on them and all are capable entering this mode out of the box (device do not have to be rooted), it is what happens next - as jarsto explained. Not only you should have proper image which will allow you to open terminal connection to the device, this image must be of a proper version and your computer must be capable of recognizing USB serial gadget (not a problem under Linux, requires installation of proper INF file under Windows).

So I'm confused now. You seem to indicate that out of the box, it has Test Mode built in, however, without your
rupor-rescue.7z additional package, nothing happens. I have not yet had a chance to test the theory (I do not have a micro SD handy), so I have to get my hands on a microSD to see. Is there any way to boot into that firmware without using a microSD?
But this would imply that it does not have a test mode built in, but rather just a hook to load/boot another firmware.
As I initially indicated, I have tried "ebook_msc.exe name "PRS-T1" um recovery" but all that did was reboot the unit in exactly the same state. (Again, I do not have the OS Firmware on the microSD card).
Thanks,
Eric
