I'm not sure what I did -- but I used the latest PRSCustomizer (1.04) and bricked my reader. The previous version I used was 1.02.

The only setting I changed was to NOT "deactivate" the number keys while reading a book (after finding out I can go directly to a page!!)


Jeff -- you posted the following instructions in the troubleshooting sub-forum:

2. Uncompress the Sony Updater (it's really a big zip file) and change the file eBookUpdater/assets/updaterAssets/PRSVersion.dat so that 110018040 reads 110018041 - once that's done, the Sony Updater will work at any time.
Worked PERFECTLY! I couldn't do the reset method, I could not do pretty much anything. I was stuck on the "Starting Up" screen. Soon as I was (somehow??) able to make the screen flash with a combo of the power switch, reset button, and the menu button -- soon as the little yellow LED flashed (less than a one second window to work with here) I QUICKLY plugged in the USB cable.

That got me to the USB screen -- I was able to see everything, and ran the Sony Updater (modified version, per your fantastic instructions) -- and I'm back in business.

Ran PRSCustomizer again -- and everything is back the way I previously had it -- now with the number keys working!

Not sure what happened, everything said it made the image and flashed without any issue. But for what it is worth -- I bricked, unbricked, reflashed, and all is good in my little literary world.


**EDIT** -- I should pay attention to what I'm doing. This post SHOULD have been made in the PRSCustomizer thread, not the Universal Flasher thread... Oops.
