update: here's what happened to me...
after using PRSCustomizer I was getting lockups when connecting to USB. I could still see the windows drives, but in Sony's software instead of reader it would come up as "Error" and nothing else I could do. Firmware updater wasn't seeing the device either.
To fix this, I downloaded 1.1 Firmware from http://www.prscustomizer.com/, put it on the SD card with the rest of the files from "sdcard" folder and renamed it to "new_opt.img".
Rebooted, pressed 4, then 6 as per manual and restored the firmware to original. After that everything went back to normal, USB worked, etc.
update: seems like i'm out of luck... tried a few more times from clean 1.1.00.18040 and same result - freezes when connecting to USB. |
Sorry you have issues Alex, I have no USB problems with any firmware.
In your case, I'd go back to the "bare metal," use Sony's firmware updater to restore your 505 to the factory default and try again. (this should leave your books in place, YMMV).
Good luck!
