What is supposed to happen at your step 10?

I'm running the boroda firmware 1.05d. On an SD card I've done the following:
1) created test
2) in test I put everything from the test-flash and test-autorun
3) created /Sony Reader/software/autorun.xml
4) turned on the reader, waited until it got to the home screen
5) press home and vol+ buttons together
6) while still pressing, insert SD card
7) testing menu shows up, I release vol+ and home
8) I press the zoom button (the one with the little looking glass with a + in it)

Result? next to "1 of 2" a circle with a line across it appears, like a "no entry sign": http://www.michaelis.uct.ac.za/images/no_entry.gif

Nothing else happens. Am I missing something?

7) replace new_opt.600.img and new_opt.600.md5 in "test" with the modified image and md5 files.

8) in SD card make an empty file "Sony Reader/software/autorun.xml"

9) hold MENU button and Vol + at the same time, then insert SD card till the testing menu shows up. release buttons.

10) press "ZOOM" button to load test FW. If successfull, the new image files are good. You can do the regular flash. For me, the image file is too big since the chinese fonts files I added are too big. This is the reason to be safe.
