usb and wait a double reboot of the reader)
2) Unpack corresponding launcher file into the root of internal memory. You should get test-startup folder if using launcher for boroda (porkupan) or simply test.sh if amutin.
I unpack this file in the root: PRSP_x50_Launcher_boroda.zip
3) Unpack PRS+ installer into the root of internal memory. You should get PRSPInstaller folder with subfolder prsp and some files.
I unpacked PRSP_650_2.0.9alpha_Installer.zip
4) Restart the reader
5) Delete PRS+ Installer. (but not the launcher)

To uninstall PRS+ from x50 models:
1) Unpack PRS+ installer as in step 3 above.
2) Delete prsp subfolder in PRSPInstaller folder
3) Reboot
4) Delete PRSPInstaller folder

i have test it, but it dont work

- i connected reader with pc
- start bat (reader not found, but windows show drive E

- enter E:
- bat copy some files to my reader and finished with this message: device is not connected to pc
- no reboots of my reader, no new firmware

Question,run the bat without admin right?

Hi noxx,

*.bat file had to be executed with admin-rights!

Please receck instructions here

BTW: a PRS-650 should show 3 (or 4) drive-letters.
1st Internal Memory (named READER)
2nd MS-slot
3rd SD-slot
(4th - Driver and Software installation)

I've installed PRS+ on my 505 and 600 at various times with no problems but found Boruda 1.0.5k would not work from my Win XP SP2 machine... start .bat then it fails to find Reader etc. as above (from Admin account)... used Amutin and worked perfectly with no problems.

The Boruda said App probably corrupt when opened directly... does it require later versions of Win or what?
