Universal Flasher 2.0 with PRS-505 support! - Page 13

liskeard · 03-03-2009, 08:54 PM

I got my 505 today. the firmware is 1.1.01.25200 can you add this your flasher. Thank you.

Interesting - the standalone flasher on their web site is still at 1.1.00.18040 - wonder what the difference is...

Hi,

This is bound to be a newbie question (so apologies in advance), but I have successfully flashed my 505 using prscustomiser, but now it still runs the flashing script on startup rather than going straight to the menu. Have I missed something obvious (I've moved the flashing files to a subfolder in the SD card to get them "out of the way"), or is this just a side effect?

TIA.

martinconroy · 03-05-2009, 11:29 AM

OK, so I solved this myself by just deleting the flash content completely. I was just surprised that the launcher ran from a subfolder.

gwynevans · 03-05-2009, 01:28 PM

I guess it's a side effect of the way that the device looks for media in a folder/path-independent way.

I have a device sold in Germany with firmware 1.4.

I am willing to help getting all those hacks working on that. How would I proceed?

What changes have to be made to the flasher and how could we figure those out?

I also have 1.1.01.25200 and would like to customize my 505. Will this firmware version be added to the flasher, or is my best bet to downgrade to 1.1.00.18040?

Thanks,

I accidentally interrupted the installation of PRS customizer for PRS 505.
After hard reset it says' installation of new firmware incomplete, try again'.
Connect it to the PC and it says : 'Updating firmware now'. The orange light keeps blinking but it never starts. explorer does not recognize sd card anymore and the reader drive says : PROTECTED. No way to get in.
Desperate, please help

Follow the 'bricked' instructions, i.e. reflash with the offical Sony Firmware updater & try again!

drsparris · 05-24-2009, 10:37 AM

Is there any chance that the flasher (and PRScustomizer) will be available for the german firmware version 1.4.00.23260?

Hi !
I just got a PRS505 for my birthday and it runs the firmware version 505.1.3.00.22070, (I live in France).
Is there any chance for me to change the basic functions with extended described here above ?

BTW my son's name is Corwin !

alaity · 09-14-2009, 10:13 PM

It seems that all the new 505's comewith version 505.1.1.01.25200 in USA and Canada. No way to use the Universal flasher unless a new version is put out that supports this firmware version. Can we expect one soon? Would be GREATLY appreciated.

pepak · 09-15-2009, 02:42 PM

You can always downgrade.

alaity · 09-18-2009, 09:25 AM

How can you downgrade? I tried to flash an older firmware, but it just tells me that it won't because my firware is'already up to date'. I would be glad to downgrade!

alaity · 09-18-2009, 10:03 AM

Oh, never mind... I found the answer in these forums. Thanks.
