Oh dear. I really wanted the clock so I decided to take the plunge and hack my PRS-505.

I told my husband if it bricked it I would cry, well I haven't shed any tears yet, but it's a near thing

I put the stuff in the root of a clean sd card from the sdcard directory.

I hit 5 when prompted

but my reader has been stuck at

Run script
Creating new cramfs image.
This might take a few minutes

for over 2 hours.

I've tried to reset it, but it won't turn off. I tried just with the power toggle, I tried with a paperclip in the back, but it doesn't change.

I downloaded the prs505 updater from sony, but it doesn't recognize that there is anything plugged into the USB cable so the Update button is greyed out.

Any ideas?
