Ahhh - I guess I could have been more informative!
Option 7 does delete the firmware and does leave the Reader showing the message you described. When you connect to PC and run the Sony Updater, however, that reloads the Sony firmware and then you run the Customiser (all without affecting your on device library). I fell into the same trap - delete the firmware then for some unexplicable reason tried to re-set and when that didn't work all logic and reason left me! I resorted to a plea on this board for help (which I received), plugged in and ran the Sony updater and all was well. It was only when I had the reader running again and thought about it that my one sensible brain cell hiding in among the billiions of non-sensible ones piped up and pointed out that as I had deleted the firmware how could I expect the reader to work at all until I had reloaded! Sorry for the panic attack... David Last edited by macphersondh; 08-20-2008 at 11:37 PM. |

Thanks for the explanation - at least I understand it now. And for the help. Now I can rest - after reading some of my current book BTW, aside from making most things selectible, what were the changes incorporated into the .04a release? Seems I have everything I set out to get in the way of hacks......

JFYI, option 7 does not actually "wipe the firmware" but it does switch the Reader into the firmware update mode. It's possible (theoretically) to switch back to the "normal" mode but it's much simpler just to run the flasher again.

Congratulations. I'll make sure I either rename or delete kBookAssets1.png from the next revision. Thanks for pointing this out. As far as files.505.1.1.00.18040/opt/sony/ebook/application/resources/scripts/ goes, I suggest you check again. Both the Flasher and my program fail if it's not present.

As configured, these hacks aren't working for me.

Perhaps they need to be enclosed in a function bubble, just as the joystick next page hack needed to be. |

No function bubbles are needed as far as I can tell. All that's needed is to replace the key functions. I've not seen that any function bubbles are needed. The hacks for the 500 were just key function replacement and when I did some on the 505, it was the same.
I'll grab a fresh XML from Flasher 2.0 and tell you what lines those are. |

The code I posted is from applicationStart.xml. Nothing gets edited in main.xml to get the keypress to change.

Did you get to testing my hacks and did they actually work?
