I managed to access the internal and external sdcard via Windows filesharing.

1. You must have a rooted Sony PRS T1
2. Open a terminal (e.g. via the installed "Terminal Emulator") and enter:

Code:

su
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT

This enables incoming connections (thanks to this post: Original info to allow incoming connections

3. Exit the terminal
4. Get and install Samba Filesharing apk via Samba via Market Link or directly from Samba at XDA Developers
5. Open the app, enter settings and enter a password
5.1 Check and note username
5.1 Enter a correct NETBIOS Name (e.g. SONY)
5.2 I enabled too "Screen Wake Lock" under "Wake Locks" to prevent slow downs

Then you can "Enable" the file sharing. Make sure that you have already enabled WLAN.

Finally you are able to connect via Windows Explorer your sdcards on the PRS T1

. Do not forget that username and password are case-sensitive!!

If you copy new files via SMB to your T1 trigger a Media scan afterwards (context menu from Samba app and "Media Scan"). Then the new files are recognized by the system.

It seems that the iptables-command do not survive a reboot. So I have to check if I can manage that the corresponding ports for smb are always open.
