But do a check if the book is part of a collection as you can brick the reader until you get it back to the computer. I did once delete a book that was part of a collection and when I accessed the collection, I bricked the reader until I was able to hook the 505 to the computer and sort out the problem.

Hello...while I have been lurking around here for quite some time this is my first post. I finally got up the courage to try the PRScustumizer after reading the entire thread on it and thinking I would ok.
I had firmware version 1.1.01.25200. which was not supported so I did option 7 to try and reload the firmware from sony to 1.1.00.18040. I followed all of the instructions on sony's site. My reader was fully charged. But now I have been stuck on "installing new software" for around 3 hours. What do I do now? Shouldnt have messed around with it since I have never had any problems until now. And I was in the middle of a REALLY good book too. thanks in advance for any help!! K. |

First unbrick. Search this thread or the wiki for directions. Use Sony's updater to put your firmware to US default. Porkupan's repackaging makes this much easier: http://projects.mobileread.com/reade...%20Special.exe Once you are at US default, everything should work OK. |

Everything is working now! I was in pure panic mode. The custom logo I made cuts off my last name. So I will eventually need to go back and start over to correct that. But for now its just fine. |

sorry, another question. I have read through this thread trying to see how to re-do the personal logo. I just want to be certain I understand...I cant handle another evening like I had last night!!
I have made the changes I want to the personal logo and have it on my SD card. Do I just insert the card to the reader and reflash or do I have to start completely over with the firmware again? Thank you for your patience |

I am now down to only one book remaining in the collection. I think if I remove this last book I might run into what you are referring to, trying to open a collection with no books in it. Heck with it I'm going to delete it. Now the collection says No book. When I click on the Dresden Files with no books in it I get a collection opened with no books in it. For the record I am currently using PRS+ Oh well another Sony PRS-505 mystery. Update: just to be sure I shut my reader down then started it back up. I then went back into the empty Dresden Files collection without error. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 02-22-2010 at 12:24 AM. |

I hope that PRSCustomizer will give me possibility to see letters č-ć-š-đ-ž (serbian, croatian, bosnian latin letters) from windows-1250 and UTF-8 in EPUB books, because now I have these letters only in LRF, but in EPUB I get question mark instead. PRSCustomizer stated "Unicode fonts with Cyrillic/Eastern European Support" so I hope that will solve this problem. Can I expect that? Did I understand well what will that feature do?
But as I stated this (č-ć-š-đ-ž) are not cyrillic letters, they are latin. I just want to see them in EPUB, like I see them in LRF. Is that what PRSCustomizer can do? |

Probably will do
And if something gone wrong deinstalling PRSCustomizer is done by simple flash with offical 1.1.00.18040 firmware by executing his installer from windows while PRS-505 is connected via USB? Quote:
And how LRF looks fine with all letters and EPUB don't? They don't use the same font in PRS-505? |
