Thanks a lot! Indeed you're right pepak - it works perfectly when using the LRF format.
It's a bit weird. Why does the reader have format specific font? PRS-505 did not support epub with the 1st firmware. So a firmware upgrade came with epub support + new dedicated epub fonts? Any reason behind this? |

Presumably because EPUB support is developed by a different company who (speculation: due to a lack of communication) decided to use their own fonts.

I would really like to use the PRSCustomizer to get Chinese fonts on my PRS-505. I bought a PRS-505 a while back in the US, and my version of firmware is too new and not supported. Does anyone have any suggestions or a way to "downgrade" my firmware. My current firmware is 1.1.01.25200.
Help would be much appreciated. Thanks. |

I agree with noob here, I can't seem to find sufficient information on trying to customize my reader

go a few pages back in the thread, you can use the recovery option to flash the old firmware.

Any chance of adding Books by Folder hack ( https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64510 ) to the PRS Customizer distribution? I have already described what needs to be done to implement it, all that remains is to update the official archive. If you feel you have way too much free time, you could add the new icons to the official iconsets, too :-)

Jeff,
Im trying to get back the UK firmware I had in my PRS-505. Your customizer readme says I can download the OPT-img file but I get a "file not found " error. Is it still available or has it vanished? regards, Howard |

I gave up trying to keep track of where the firmware(s) are stored. I don't offer them for download because they contain proprietary Sony software.
