Uhm, I see, so we have 2 possible sources of the problem: collision with spanish hacks and interrupted update process.

If nothing else works, you'll have to reset (there is a small hole on the back side, right in the middle of the reader, inside it is a reset button, in case you wonder how to reset it) the reader repeatedly more than TEN times in a row RIGHT after startup screen shows. This will reset the firmware to zeros, and it will fall into firmware update mode.

I have the same problem that Jeshule, when i was flash the reader, the reader is starting up. If conect the reader to pc i can see the folders, but when i try to install the firmware the button update isn't updated (appears the actual version uk and update version us), what can i do?

How did you break it?

Here is a version of the updater by boroda (aka porkupan), that does the update to US version, no matter what (by faking fimrware version):

Hi, Kartu:
I'm happy.
I have had to hard reset the reader repeatedly more than TEN times in a row RIGHT during startup screen shows, yellow light flashed. This reseted the firmware to zeros, and it falled into firmware update mode.
Now I have installed the PRS-Plus, spanish hacks, and it works perfectly.
I try that yerterday but it didn't work. Now, yes.

Thanks very much to all !!!!

Yes, I'm happy.

I just solve the problem, reinstalling the firmware, but before I have to change the file.dat by 1.3.00.18041

VICTORSJG · 12-29-2009, 05:43 AM

Kartu where is the info of the fisrt paragraph in about menu? where you have written as author of the changes. Is it posible to change o delete, to show the origianal logo, I undertand you write this info but i would like to have the origianal.

Thanks

It's inside system code and is not that easy to remove.
I wonder why do you want to remove it, are you showing your ownership info there?

Mike_73 · 12-29-2009, 09:50 AM

Kartu, finally I tried to get the pictures online. I downloaded a project-clone via commandline. As I couldn't find any pictures in the downloaded files, I tried installing tortoise. After some tinkering with it, I finally found the repisotory-explorer, but couldn't find anything either. Do you know how I find and can replace them?

Thanks.

VICTORSJG · 12-29-2009, 10:00 AM

In case you are working with wrong repository. There are 3 actually. For wiki pages you need this one:
https://wiki.prs-plus.googlecode.com/hg

There aren't any pictures at the moment, the one you see on the projects page is from the old project's repository. When you upload the images, you can reference them with the following url:
http://wiki.prs-plus.googlecode.com/hg/someimage.png

Check sudoku.js or fiveballs.js.

Right. I'll add this feature in the next versions.

Mike_73 · 12-29-2009, 11:33 AM

I just found that I can edit wikipages with the online interface. I didn't see a button which allows uploading images. If I understood right, the picture in the main page is an old one that is not implemented in the wiki pages. So I would go ahaed and create a wiki page like user manual. I have to just figure out how to get the pictures in.

kartu · 12-29-2009, 11:40 AM

There is no such button for uploading images. You'll need to upload them to wiki repository that I've mentioned above.

Basically you need to:
1) clone this repository https://wiki.prs-plus.googlecode.com/hg to whatever folder you like
2) put your images there
3) "add" those files (should be possible via right click -> some toroise menu)
4) "commit" the changes
5) last, but not least: PUSH the changes to https://wiki.prs-plus.googlecode.com/hg.

Mike_73 · 12-29-2009, 11:49 AM

Ok, so lets see if I can get it up.

Mike_73 · 12-29-2009, 12:20 PM

So I just added one picture (just to try out) to the prs-wiki folder where all the pages are located. Then I added and commited the picture. After that I tried to push the changes and received the message (after asking for my user name and password) that everything was fine. Unfortunately, I can't find the picture on the wiki page. Any idea? Sorry I'm behaving like a little kid, but this is the first time I do something like this. Usually I use the wysiwyg-style of editors.

kartu · 12-29-2009, 12:46 PM

Mike, you can see wiki repository content here:
http://code.google.com/p/prs-plus/so...wse/?repo=wiki

This is the link to the file:
http://wiki.prs-plus.googlecode.com/hg/main_menu.jpg

I'd suggest to resize it a bit, 1mb per screen is scary, should be about 50k per image.
