PRS+: Enhanced firmware for Sony Reader, Folders, Games & more - Page 150

mhier · 06-22-2011, 07:17 AM

Installation does not work on my PRS-350. The installer (" PRSP_350_2.0.12beta_setup.exe") first told me that my firmware needed to be updated first. After I did that (now it's 1.0.00.14080) it always tells me that it could not detect the reader.

Is there some trick around this?

One of the following should help:

Try different USB port, check if cable is properly connected.
Try to reboot both reader and PC.
Close Sony Reader library, if it is open.

Hi guys

Quick question, does installing delete the books you have on your device? I have a 650 and although I am not sure how PRS+ will affect my day to day use, I have seen enough of you rave about it to give it a go.

Naturally I will backup everything on the device before I give it a whirl.

Not yet.

It doesn't delete books you have on your device, backing important stuff up is recommended nevertheless.

Hi Kartu....
"not yet"...means that "theoretically" is possible to have this function on 505...it's just that is not yet developed on the the last prs+ version for 505...am I right?
If it's so..that's a great news....

Yep.
Mark has found a place in binary responsible for clearing screen when going off. So it's a matter "when there will be time to actually add this feature" now.

Thanks for the answer. I already tried all that, I even tried a completely different computer (with no Sony Reader Software installed).

In principle it should work with the 1.0.00.14080 firmware?

Yes.

PS
I guess you've downloaded setup for the wrong version of the reader.

I am unfortunately quite sure that it was the correct one, but I will double-check when I am home again :-)

I installed PRS+ successfully however my standby screen is blank. Unless you mean the opening screen with the selections on it.(?) Am I missing something?

I believe you need to manually create the directory
/database/system/PRSPlus/wallpaper/ Then put in whatever images you want.

At the moment it works this way only on 600 model.
Unless I've added it to x50 and forgotten it.

Is there any way to install this on the 350 manually (i.e. without the installer)? Normally I only use Linux, so it's kinda long-winded to run the installer for me :-) And maybe I would see where and why it fails (or it wouldn't fail then...).
