Single partition, fat32. It may be that the T1 doesn't like the card - try a different one then.

The root folder of the card must contain the OS Firmware folder. T1 looks for an update.img there

Completely power of the T1, keep Home+Menu pressed, power on, still keep Home+Menu pressed until progress bar reaches 100% percent.

Now, the status LED should flash orange.

The screen will still show opening book, that's normal, don't worry, there won't be any more output on the screen.

But again: the status LED should be flashing.

Now, you can release Home+Menu. If you released it earlier and LED isn't flashing - press reset switch and start from the beginning.

Now, with the T1 booted into recovery mode and status LED flashing, you may connect to the computer via USB. If you have Windows, it should discover a new device. The driver is provided with rupor-rescue.7z. Point Windows driver installer there. (gserial.inf)

After that, a Window may pop up, that a new drive has to be formated - DON'T FORMAT! It's your internal flash memory.

It can be accessed via Minitool Partition Manager or under Linux via fdisk, dd, etc. But don't mess around with that now!! Try to log into the reader as described here: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/PRST...covery_Console

If that succeeds, press enter, enter username 'root' and you should find yourself at a linux command prompt.

Now, enter the following commands and press enter after each line

Code:

fdisk /dev/mmcblk2
u
p
q

Finally, copy the text output of the fdisk p command and post it here.

You can power off the reader by entering 'poweroff' a the command line.
