Any known problems using PRS Customizer with this version?
Also, is it true that, in the event of bricking, I'll have to flash the reader to an earlier firmware since this newer version isn't available? Asking as it's unclear to me from the instructions how backing up the firmware allows it to be reinstalled, unless Sony's flashing utility allows specifying a different disk image.
Thanks -- want to proceed at least semi-cautiously.  |
PRSCustomizer supports two firmware versions: US/Canada and UK. 1.1.00.18040 and 1.2.00.18050. If you're not using those versions you have to reflash with the Sony Updater.
Personally, I wouldn't call it a "downgrade," despite the lower version number (1.1.00.18040). AFAIK you lose no functionality and gain a lot of customization.
You can re-install the fsk filesystem from a backup. This type of re-install is accomplished with Igorsk's Universal Flasher, not Sony's updater.
The rootfs can only be updated by the Sony updater - and currently it only does US/UK 1.1.
