forkpower - thank you for posting this solution. It worked for me.

My PRS-T1 had the 1.0.07 firmware. It wasn't rooted or modded in any way but started exhibiting the same problems as described by everyone here. I tried doing recoveries and restores but nothing made a difference. Using forkpower's method, I ended up putting 1.0.05 on my T1 and now the USB and Wifi work fine. I think I'll leave it at 1.0.05 since I'm not using the Kobo store.

I have a Windows 7 computer here but I was able to boot up Slax on a flash drive. Slax is so small that it didn't come with a hex editor but there was a downloadable module that added that. For me, the trick was determining which device file was the PRS-T1. On my system, it ended up being:

/dev/sde

as it was the one with the 10 partitions:

/dev/sdep1
/dev/sdep2
thru
/dev/sdep10

I feel like the procedure here would be useful to add to the "PRST1 Rooting and Tweaks" wiki for mobileread. Are there any moderators that can help with that?
