I just tried again to load version 1.0 and no go.
Steps I took
1) Reformated SD card and place flasher-igorsk on sd card.
2) placed new opt.img on root of SD card.
3 went to internal memory and deleted everything in system so it was blank... and put in the database files in "prs-plus-addons, prsplus.js.
4) put SD card in reader and did steps 4 and 6 ...
and when it restarted it shows NO prs plus on reader at all.

Then I reverted back to .9b that works like this:

I deleted everything from SD card and put flasher-igorsk stuff on and the .9b version of new opt.img on root on SD card.
Deleted the system stuff from internal memory so it had nothing in it and copied the stuff from database that was in .9b folder back in the system folder.
placed SD card in reader , flashed using steps 4 and 6.
restarted the reader and everything works using .9b version.
That is the steps I took.
I did it 3 times. In every time deleting the system folder and placing the correct files from each version in right folder. And placing the 'new opt.img on root of SD card.
Now if I have to start this process from putting orginal sony FW on , I didn't do that yet.
But if kartu can load on his 505 the prsplus_20091218_0.9b stuff and then put the 1.0 files on for upgrade he should be able to reproduce the problem, because I have 2 505's and when I did it the first time, on version 1.0 it didn't work. Came here to report, then read what Mike wrote and decided to reformat the card and did the steps I just wrote above. I'm just writing this to show my trouble-shooting.
The thing is , not sure if you have to have do 1.0 from CLEAN install coming from virgin sony fw to version 1.0RC . I don't know.
As long as version 0.9b works, I'm fine.

p.s. I wonder if 0.9b is leaving stuff on the reader in some other folder , old cache or something from old install. I don't know. Is there anything that I should delete from internal memory in upgrading, I did make sure the "system" folder was empty and placed the new files in it, maybe the other files are stored somewhere else.
