I just tried flashing my 505 and now I have an annoying problem.
The flashing was ok, and the new features work (clock and russian fonts) But when I connect the device to the USB I get TWO drives appear and neither are readable. (there are no cards inserted) I lost the ability to use it as a mass storage device, which is really annoying. Anyone had this problem ? |

Did you update the firmware to the latest version before using PRSCustomizer?

How do I revert back to the sony firmware ? Can I just run it again ? |

If XP, have a look in "My Computer"/Manage/Disk Management". As an illustration, when I plug-in my 505, I see 3 new disk devices appear (Internal, plus one for each of the card slots) but from the desktop, I only see the first two as the third is trying to use H:, which is already in use by a network share! (I could remap it, but I don't use it anyway, so haven't bothered, but I wonder if your 'internal' device has got mapped somewhere odd? (Look for a Removable disk of size 210MB) |

1. Run Igorsk's Universal Flasher and choose option #7. This will put your Reader into firmware update mode. Then re-run the Sony Updater. 2. Uncompress the Sony Updater (it's really a big zip file) and change the file prs505/eBookUpdater/assets/updaterAssets/PRSVersion.dat so that 110018040 reads 110018041 - once that's done, the Sony Updater work at any time. |

One more thing that I found,
if you want to replace kBookAssets.png it must be INTERLACED PNG, or the flashing does not work. |

Um... I must respectfully disagree. I have replaced the kBookAssets.png file (several times actually), and I didn't use an interlaced PNG, but the non-interlaced, vulgaris version. The flashing was successful every time.

Is there any way to make the time say 6:00 PM instead of 18:00? The customizer is a great improvement -- especially when you change the font. Thanks for putting it together! (I'm puzzled why Sony doesn't make these changes part of the default software).

Speaking of the clock am/pm--I noticed a small bug in the version I'm using. It reports any time between midinight (00:00) and 12:59 am as "p"or pm. It then correctly changes to "a" or am at 1:00. Not a big deal, but was wondering if this has been fixed in a more current version.
The easiest fix for me would be to make sure I go to bed at a reasonable hour--then I'd never see this! dordale ![]() |

I was going to reflah/rehack my 505 tonight. I'll wait for the new version. Well spotted on the clock bug.
