Thanks

Nice thread!
I own a PRS-T1 too and a I ask myself: Why is there no custom rom out there or a ArchLinux or ArchLinuxARM for it.

I think 1.0.07.05070 is the newest officially stock rom from sony but, correct me if I am wrong, this version is not compatible with minimal-root.zip or rupor-minimal.zip .

My problem is that I want to run spotify on it and a web-browser (+android system) with security issues.

I found http://fread.ink/ wich seems to be a "alternate operating system for electronic paper ebook readers".

The PRS-T1 seems to have a i.MX508. Here is info paper:

And here is a hackaday post:

Does the PRS-T1 had a bootloader an is it possible to unlock them?

At the moment I run 1.0.05.11130 wich is based on Android 2.1.1 (froyo)(sdk 8). Android 4 or 5 would be awesome and support a lot of more apps to test with the device.
