If you:
1) are satisfied with features current firmware provides and i.e. don't have to mix it with other hacks
2) have Sony PRS 505
3) have firmware version 1.1.00.18040, or don't mind changing to this firmware version
You can easily install it. Follow these steps:
0) Connect your reader to your PC/Mac
1) Copy "database" folder from the release archive to internal memory (you should get /database/system/PRSPlus.js file and /database/system/PRSPlus-addons folder)
2) Download and extract my version of igorsk's flasher http://prs-plus.googlecode.com/files/flasher-igorsk.zip (remove any existing before you do it) to your SD card
3) Copy new_opt.img from release archive to SD card root
4) Disconnect the reader
Igorsk's flasher interface should show up.
5) Press 4
It will take a couple of secs, then you should see the message that image file was successfully copied to /tmp
6) press 6
It will take a minute or so, and ebook will be flashed and then will reboot.
7) Now you have flashed ebook, you can remove igorsk's flasher.

I'm thrilled by the improvements you're making for the PRS-505.
I've followed all of your instructions here but installation got hung up when I pressed #4 "copy image from the card." Nothing happened. At the top of the screen it reads <- Run Script / Sorry, this firmware version is not supported: 505.1.1.00.18040. My version, which I checked first, was 1.1.00.18040. Am I supposed to delete the "505" from it first?
2. I deleted the new photo file since I don't care changing it. I then renamed 505.1.1.00.18040 to 1.1.00.18040 and got a different <- Run script, a stop sign with an ! exclamation mark in it. Then #3 through #7 options. I pushed #6 but nothing happened; it never rebooted. Pushed Menu button but couldn't exit, so turned it off; reconnected and recopied picture to directory with Igorsk, and tried again. Same message: Sorry, this firmware version is not supported: 505.1.1.00.18040.
I'm assuming I've done something wrong but can't figure it out. Suggestions?
Thanks.
