I too saw some information on connecting at a low-level with libprs, but I don't know anything further. If I find anything, I'll let you know. Sony may reject my epub update because of this, so I'm still interested in uncovering a solution.

Depending on how technical you are, someone may have a pinout listed on here so that we could create a jtag cable and interface directly with the device via a console.

thats what im working on now, Luckily im pretty handy with Python, and iv managed to get the lib usb drivers too work and recognise it.

heres the output

so at least theres hope, im just wondering weather such a high level language can write too flash, looking at Ebook.py it should be able too, because you/i could change the mode into normal (although it didnt help lol)

i hope they reply, it will make the whole situation a bit easier.

if it does come back fixed, Wanna buy mine for $80? :P

as for the pinout.

Spoiler:

i dont fancy soldering that bad-boy lol
