For what it is worth, here is how I updated my PRS-T1 using only Linux:[LIST=1][*]Downloaded the updater file (PRS-T1_UPDATER_1.0.03.11140.EXE) from Sony's support site.[*]Unzipped this file under Linux using the command:
Code:
unzip PRS-T1_UPDATER_1.0.03.11140.EXE

Hope this helps someone, if not TerryAJ!
I found this older post, and today there seems to be different versions of the same firmware. The one with _a.exe is from the official Sony support site and the other from http://sonebo-dl.edgesuite.net/DR001...0.07.05070.exe (mentioned in the Wiki. The latter is not working with UNZIP:

Code:
$ ls -l PRS*
-rw-r--r--  1 guru  wheel  111444568 10 jul.  10:10 PRS-T1_Updater_1.0.07.05070_a.exe
-rw-r--r--  1 guru  wheel  109013320  2 mar.   2017 PRS-T1_Updater_1.0.07.05070.exe
$ file PRS*
PRS-T1_Updater_1.0.07.05070_a.exe: PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows
PRS-T1_Updater_1.0.07.05070.exe:   PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows
$  unzip "PRS-T1_Updater_1.0.07.05070.exe" "PRS-T1 Updater.package"
Archive:  PRS-T1_Updater_1.0.07.05070.exe
 extracting: PRS-T1 Updater.package
$  unzip "PRS-T1_Updater_1.0.07.05070_a.exe" "PRS-T1 Updater.package"
unzip: Unrecognized archive format
Any hints about this?
