Hi
The universal flasher doesnt start on my PRS500. When I insert the card, nothing happens.

I used it one year ago without problem. After 4 months I rebrik the reader and now I want to add the clock again...

To test if the card is ok, I added a book to the card and the reader recognize it and allow me to read it.

I checked the following:
The card is formated on FAT format.
.sh files have unix style not DOS
Tried with another card with the same result.
Reset the reader.

This is the content of the card root:
bin
calibre
files
Sony Reader
flash_opt.sh
libfskLoad.so
make_opt.sh

Anyone can help please?
Thanks

Has anyone updated their reader (with the latest firmware from Sony that allows for ePub docs, etc...) and then flashed it to use the clock hack, etc??? Is there a new flasher from Igorsk? Or will the old one still work?

Help please,

hi, is it possible to flash the reader with a font which supports many languages (in txt files) ? like russian, italian, czech etc.
