1: yes, you can mount the update.img from within linux via loop device.

2: yes, but you can destroy your reader if not carefull, see https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=178199 and http://translate.google.com/translat...hp%3Ft%3D23354

3: fat32

I'm newbie. I just got PRS-T1 today and I try to install rupor's root. But this reader has previous root. I don't know the name of it. I see how to recovery to stock from this tread.

http://sonyfmngr.sourceforge.net/prsT1.htm
it link to sd recovery made by uboot.

I try it but when it boot my reader was empty. There is nothing in it and Zeam launcher and any thing from former root has gone. I can't do anything. but it can boot and transfer with computer. I'm lucky that it isn't it but I want to know about that

1. Is my reader still good? If not, how should I do for it.
2. Can I install rupor's root. I just try from install flash_reader.bat but it has error about xcopy. I don't know about it.

sorry for my bad English. Thanks

My sony prs t1 restarted after less than 5 mins of use. Or even sometimes frozen. I am at 1.04 stock, so i doubt this is firmware issue. I live outside US, so left with no warranty from Sony.

Try to reflash using your image. As I write this, it has been an hour where the led is blinking and no sign of completed process. Should i wait until the battery depleted? Thanks.

Which LED? Power-LED or MICROSD-LED?

Which rescue image did you use?

I'd give it another hour and then do a reset.

I used the second package (rescue_1.04.zip).

What I meant was micro sd LED. I let the ereader churn over night and now it stopped blinking. Thought it was out of juice but it responded when i pressed power button (and battery level was half empty).

Now I can see that random restart/freeze has gone but it always ask for setting (location, time zone, and time/date) everytime i rebooted.. Anyway to circumvent this? Thanks.

Just want to add that after i restored to default using the setting menu the device has returned to state where random reboots/freeze occur. Would that be the case of defective hardware? Thanks.

It's a software problem. Others had it, too (e.g. bookp).

Please try a factory reset first: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/PRST...#Factory_Reset

If this doesn't help - take the first rescue package.

1) downloaded the first package
2) reflashed using first package
3) micro sd card led went blinking for like 9 hours or so--until it stopped
4) pressed power button, led blinking for 3 times... nothing... didnt reboot--screen stays at "opening book..."
5) pressed power button for 3 seconds, just blinking for 3 times and nothing--screen stays
6) pressed power button while hitting reset hole, waited for 10 secs, nothing happened

tried to connect via usb, led power lighted but not recognized by PC. i am out of option now. device is lemon now?

Hi,

after I rooted my device with rupor's AMR it worked well for some days. After playing around (installing apps, etc.) it finally froze completely.

I tried both packages several times without any success. I was able to boot into recovery, SD light flashed for about half an hour, when it stopped I removed the SD and restarted. Now it always stops at 100% of "Opening book..." or the arrow-circle appears and then it freezes. Is there anything else I can try? (Except giving it back to the store and hope they just give me a new one without checking if it was rooted or not)

Thanks for all help!!!

[ghasek]

Thanks for all the work Uboot!

used rupers AMR and then without thinking applied "enable adb"... and now im here :P

used the 2nd package. think it went for at least 7+ hours until the sd light stopped blinking.
I get the initiation every boot. Also manually updated it with the sony 1.04 update, but no change.

Now thinking if I should try the 1st rescue package instead..

any thoughts?^^

Edit: (sidenote) before I did the sd-recovery I had it on "USB debugging mode" which seems to have survived the recovery.. don't know if it matters much though

Edit2: couldn't find the diag.log on internal

Edit3: went with the 1st package and seems to work ok now, USB debugging is still there though, didnt do a factory reset but never had the initialization problem.

Hello,
i have a problem when i want to write that file for getting into testmode..

i broke my display, lucky as i am i have a second one here but when i try to attach that display it shows everything correct except the touchscreen doesnt recognise input-.-
thats why i try to get into testmode and set the vcom right .. do a facory initialize as described in the manual.

the thing on this one is that i also cant start the reader normaly i did " Recovering a bricked device (sd recovery, sd rescue)" with the 1.04 package and let it run until the sd card didnt flash anymore..

when i restart now it wants me to choose a language but i cant touch it -.-
so thats why i tried to get into the testmode with the recovery image.... i started it and i can connect to it with putty but here it ends
well the main reason for this is because i am not so familiar with linux so i have problems writeing this xyz file (i know the name is important.. i did create it on the sdcard and was able to get into testmode on the fully working reader).. could u help me out here?
i mean can u give me a litte instruction how to do this.. i read through the wiki the whole night now and cant get it done..
huge thanks to everyone that read until here and tries to help me out here
