Ian, I have had very similar problems today using PRSCustomizer on a UK PRS505 - freezing on the Starting up screen. Like you I have managed to unbrick the reader using the Sony Updater program, but if you look in the setting this means we're now running with the US firmware 1.1 and not the UK firmware 1.2. Anyone know how to get the UK firmware back onto the device?

I even tried replaced cramfs.Fsk.img and cramfs.Rootfs.img in the Sony Updater directory with versions that I have previously created from my UK device, but it still flashed the US firmware into the reader.
OK, so obviously the UK option's not working.

To get back to square one (UK 1.2) firmware-wise, take your cramfs.Fsk.img file and copy it to the Universal Flasher SD card with the name new_opt.img - Insert the card into your Reader and from the Flasher menu choose #4, then #6.

I've placed version 1.2 on hold until I can sort this out. Thanks for your patience.
