PRS-T1 Rooting broke the keyboard

pouzzler · 04-13-2012, 04:54 AM

Hello,

after using the minimal rooting package, and not liking it that much, I reverted by doing a factory reset (maybe a wrong idea?). Since then, the keyboard settings just crash, and no keyboard appears whenever it should (for example, trying to take notes).
I have no idea if this happened with the rooting package, or the factory reset, as I didn't try the keyboard before resetting.

I then installed the latest firmware update, and my keyboard is back, still that was an annoying experience, and I thought it worthwhile to share it with everyone.

Best regards,
Sébastien

PS: I wrote a small bash script that adds functionality to ineptepub: double-clicking the download link now downloads and removes the drm all in one go. Should I publish it here, for legitimate uses, or does the forum frown upon this?
