Brick! so painful:( Problem using flasher 2.0 on PRS505

serpentium · 08-02-2008, 10:21 AM

Hi everyone,
i looked all posts to unbrick and i tried everything but no success. I never hoped to be here to ask to rescue my sony prs 505... but it happened

So,
the problem is my PRS505 is still in "Starting Up" screen forever.
* I tried at the first to reset and it didnt worked
* I tried to pin the reset button, to read on PC and format but it didnt read on the pc
* I tried the hard reset but nothing happened. I dont know if i didnt do right way, seems so hard to keep MARK and VOLUME+ button pressed for 10+30 seconds without seeing nothing changing.
* I tried so to format in FAT32 or in FAT the drive; after this the PC cannot read anymore the disks. It just said connected USB but i cannot read the drive because it says "Please insert a disk"
*After the disk format the red light doesnt show up never when i connect to PC, unless i connect to USB and push the pinhole Reset on the back; but if i do this the disks disappear on PC and the red led come on. In this situation the SONYupdater and the SONYlibrary cannot found anything
* I tried the ten times reset as written in the wikimobile but nothing happened after ten minutes (i cannot know if i didnt right the ten times thing)
* If i try to start SONYupdater or SONYlibrary when i connect the prs505 to computer they dont even start (because disks from prs505 appear but they dont work)

Now i will try to connect to psp charger for 12 hours. I dont know if this will change something... i really hope so... im so sad

The red led turned off, full charged PRS and still the "Starting Up" image.
So what now? I red in other forums that after this moment magically something happened. But what?
I have to reset again or just wait?

im waiting now...

ok.
finally i unbricked!
it worked as i read in another threads.
Ten times reset trick (reset and slide 10 times), and update state firmware.

So happy now :-)

Same problem, but can't find that trick, can you tell me where it is?

Unbricked.

Can't explain how, though. Tried all I found and nothing worked. I was trying all the time to connect to the PC and eventually I managed. Reupdated the FW and now I am recharging, as the battery, that was full, has ended totally depleted. I need a shower...
