PRS-T1 how to get rid of Android

FinancialWar · 05-24-2012, 07:43 AM

I have rooted my T1 a while back, never found any use for it. I would like to unroot my T1 back to just Sony firmware. How can I do that?

No way to "get rid of Android", because Sony T1 is based on Android, still you can go back to the stock-FW.

Each model has a specific button combination during startup to go into a menu which allows resetting to factory software.

Wow, enlighten me, where to find this magic.

There is "hard-reset" or restore factory-settings,
which will clear the memory, erase all books, and clear out settings, but isn't capable of restoring the firmware itself (to my limited knowledge).

well I did exactly that, followed Sony's instruction and did a set of button combination and reset the device and now there is no evidence of rooting.

Now the device is faster and snappier than with Android on.

What you've done is restore to original content but you have not eliminated Android, as noted earlier, the operating system of the T1 is Android, all you've done is reduce your ability to access it which is fine for most users (as they generally just want to use it to read) and will generally run faster...
