Hi.

I'm trying to customise on my UK V1.2 PRS-505 using the cool prscustomizer v1.04 software.

I've followed the instructions carefully and copied the contents of the sdcard folder to the root dir of the SD card formatted FAT.

I put it into my reader and it presents the flash options.

I select #5 to make a new image. It says it is creating a new cramfs image. After a couple of minutes the reader reboots itself.

After restarting when I press #6 it then says it cannot find the /tmp/self_upgrade/new_opt.img file.

The flash.log file contains:
Begin flashing -> Mon May 28 00:01:41 UTC 2007
No /tmp/self_upgrade/new_opt.img found!

My reader is a standard unit with no hacks previously installed. Any ideas as to what is going wrong? I've pretty much tried everything I can think of.

The files.505.1.2.00.18050 folder on the SD card seems to contain all the files listed in related posts.

Does there have to be a certain amount of free space on the device or something?

Many thanks!
