I thought of it while I was at the airport, put my reader in my pocket, and of course forgot to hit the power switch before doing so, so the Reader was on a page flipping spree when I took it back out. I got back to my page using history tho. I was thinking about applying the joystick pageturn mod, but don't want to lose the history function for instances like that. |

What someone else did was just modify the joystick forward to go forward a page and left the joystick back to go back in history.

Any chance of getting the files for that mod on here JSWolf?
I looked at the files myself and the wiki entry on hacking the Reader, but, frankly, couldn't make heads from tails, and don't want to experiment and brick the Reader. If anyone could post the joystick mode that has: Right - Page Forward and Left - History, I would be very thankful. |

Since the new firmware is out, can anyone here give any tips for using the universal flasher method to update my reader? (No Windows here.)

The exe for the newest firmware is just a ZIP file. Unzip it keeping the directory structure to the root of the SD card. Then inster the SD card into the Reader while the reader is off, turn on the reader and follow the menu. |

igorsk, are you going to make a version of the universal flasher for the new firmware?
P.S. I just tried the flasher and guess what? it works with the newest firmware! Hot damn! |

OK so I have a question. I updated my Reader with the Universal Flasher to fix the battery bug sometime ago, and to add the clock to the bar at the bottom. I'd like to now flash to the newest firmware released by Sony today. Is there a problem just using Sony's updater, or do I need to do something funky?
Also, will the *unofficial* battery fix be overwritten by Sony's new firmware (hoping so, since I'd prefer an official Sony fix). Thanks in advance. |

My main concern now with the flasher, is I think that the flasher might overwrite the battery fix in the Sony Update

But it doesn't really bother me that I can only flash via cable, I have all that I wanted on it and am happy with that... |

I have one doubt about this flasher. I want to flash the last sony firmware to get the battery fix, but I also want the clock (really neat). I know the flasher works with the last firmware, but, I don't know if the flasher acts as an incremental update on top of what it reads from the unit, or if the zip already contains the full image to be flashed (and thus will overwrite the last update until the flasher itself is updated).
Can someone clarify? Thanks... BTW it would be great if the flasher incorporated the "left-history / right-turnpage" mod... Thanks to everyone involved with these mods, in any case! |
