Cygwin uses Linux style of directory listings. So your c:\ becomes /cygdrive/c/ and so on.
However as porkupan has said just following some directions blindly without understanding what you're doing is a very dangerous path to take and can very easily produce a very expensive doorstop... Last edited by dmapr; 02-08-2010 at 04:45 PM. |

thanks very much for advices,
i know it is dangerous but i need this reader to read texts in my language,i dont know why a reader with Sony barnd just supports english.even chinese models have better support.if i cant read the books of my language it is not good for me.reading just PDF in a 5 inch screen is not possible. i did changes at command.i writed this command: cramfsck -x /cygdrive/c/opt /cygdrive/c/new_opt.300.img it made the folder opt at drive c but it is empty and also an error message: utime failed: /cygdrive/c/opt/: invalid argument th picture: may be i should forget making changes.and even reading on this device. |

You should play in the local directory:
Code:
cramfsck -x ./opt /cygdrive/c/new_opt.300.img |

Looks like you don't have write privileges in this directory where you are trying to unpack new_opt.300.img. This is some wickedness of newer versions on Cygwin, they started messing with permissions, and they don't do it right somehow.
Just remove the opt directory, and change permissions for the local dir: chmod a+rw . Then it should unpack. |

Well, don't know, it works for me. Try a real Linux system, maybe you will have better luck there.

I have the clock ,left the reader on last night and noticed that it had consumed a large amount of battery power,presumably due to clock up dating.

Once again I suggest you make sure you are not using am/pm-tick or 24-tick option of the clock, but the regular am/pm or 24. The "tick" clock doesn't let the reader sleep between page turns, so it eats up the battery quite quickly.

What is supposed to happen at your step 10?
I'm running the boroda firmware 1.05d. On an SD card I've done the following: 1) created test 2) in test I put everything from the test-flash and test-autorun 3) created /Sony Reader/software/autorun.xml 4) turned on the reader, waited until it got to the home screen 5) press home and vol+ buttons together 6) while still pressing, insert SD card 7) testing menu shows up, I release vol+ and home 8) I press the zoom button (the one with the little looking glass with a + in it) Result? next to "1 of 2" a circle with a line across it appears, like a "no entry sign": http://www.michaelis.uct.ac.za/images/no_entry.gif Nothing else happens. Am I missing something? Quote:

Just a tip: VirtualBox (from Sun Microsystems) is free and quite lightweight.
