Actually, they didn't. The Chinese method is original, and in my opinion it is more stylistically correct than the Russian method. In fact, I would recommend using the Chinese method for localization rather than the Russian method, which involves editing Unicode strings in a binary shared object library.
One of these days I may make my own Russification based on the Chinese method (although as it is now, I am totally happy with English menus). This method would allow switching localization (English/Russian) via a submenu, like we can do with the clock. |

I would try reflashing the stock image and then flashing with Universal Flasher. I am not sure what the problem is, igorsk would be better able to help, I just have never encountered this one. If I hit this problem, I will debug it. Maybe you could post the log file - something in there might point us in the right direction?

Just to make sure that I'm being clear, first I copied the new icon png file to new_opt/sony/ebook/application/resources/scripts/kBookIcon.png, overwriting the older file. Then I ran mkcramfs new_opt/ new_opt.img. Then copied the resulting img file to the root of the sd card. Option 4. followed by Option 6. Error. No log. Second, I copied the new icon png file to sdroot/files....040/opt/sony/ebook/application/resources/scripts/kBookIcon.png. Option 5. followed by Option 6. Error.No log. Thanks! |

The reader's fine & doesn't need any recovery & I was able to flash it via the Universal Flasher, without the png file, just not with it... |

If I am not mistaken, igorsk wrote in this forum, that the Universal Flasher needs to be fixed to be able to burn ready-made images:

Yeah, this is strange. As if something in the background is clearing the /tmp directory. Weird stuff indeed. The resulting image is definitely not too big to fit in the partition allotted for Fsk.
I would try to reboot (shut down, then turn it on) the Reader and not open any books before trying the Universal Flasher. |

The other thing you can try.
1) Hit 4 or 5, make the image 2) Take the SD card out. 3) Put the SD card back in. 4) When the menu pops up, hit 6. May not help, but it doesn't hurt to try. You should see flash_opt.log somewhere though... |

Well, this error seems to indicate that the internal flashing utility nblsdm can no longer flash this reader with the Fsk image of larger size than what's already been flashed. Why - not sure. My advice is to reflash with the stock flasher, then try again.

I've not done that because I've not been trying with pre-made images - just making one each time via menu-5, but I can't seem to get it to report what the problem is...

Hmm I think I've seen this before... nblsdm needs to be passed a parameter with the partiton size. Until I get around to implement that, reflashing with stock updater should allow you to flash a custom image again.
