Can one safely upgrade from 1.0.04.12210 to 1.0.05.11130 using Sonys official upgrade exe? Im following Rupors new-ish post with his guide.

Before upgrading to 1.0.05 with official Sony firmware updater you need to return device into "pristine" state with 1.0.04 firmware - no root or anything else using proper porkupan restoration packages. Then and ONLY then you will be able to properly install Sony upgrade and install of AMR (version for 1.0.05) should follow. I recommend doing full backup before all of that.

I was not yet rooted on .04, so I will do a factory upgrade to .05 then backup.
I will buy a MicroSD today and load the rescue7 files to backup. Thanks rupor! |

I've upraded to 1.0.05 and re-rooted - I was cleaning up some of the useless apps as per MCSmarties guide and was wondering if these can be uninstalled without causing grief
Calendar 2.2.1 & Calendar Strorage 2.2.1 Since there is no Calendar on the E-Reader and I don't propose to add one either ? |

not understanding a step
in the directions
at step B it says after downloading restore set 1.0.04...... - run flash_reader.bat. VERIFY THE TARGET PATH ("READER"), click Y. i don't have a idea what it means to "VERIFY THE TARGET PATH ("READER")" i run flash reader.bat and the only thing it says "device is not ready script is not complete" so i'm not sure where to verify the target path option is it doesn't seem like this step is too important since i believe i followed the directions up to this point ok (except for registering the device with sony!) any help would be great. Thanks so much! |

bat issue figured, limited apps installed
so my .bat issue was resolved by doing two steps in reverse order
I first opened the .bat file as administrator and then plugged the reader into the usb...doing the opposite way never gave me the right screens after installing it, almost everything seems good, except i can't install a lot of apps for some reason. It keeps saying low on phone space. The place where i'm installing these apps seem to be the 1.4 gb reader space not the small 10mb settings space. It seems when I've installed about 20mb of apps it won't let me install anymore. Apps2SD has only been able to move a portion of titanium backup to the SD card Gmail, ebookdroid and repligo have been unaffected and i think it's why i can't install any more apps had to uninstall dropbox to make room for other apps |

I am having the same problem (running out of space after installing a few apps. Any solution here? Do we need to somehow re-partition the internal storage? Also, how do we get android to recognize an external SD card? The reader recognizes my 4 GB card (formatted in windows), but android does not.
Thanks in advance for your help. Last edited by Flaco05; 02-24-2014 at 01:12 AM. |

I've just got a sony prs t1 and I want to root it since the music player on the device isn't as functional as I need. I want to read the books while listening to their audio books but after I inserted a 64gb fat32-formatted SD card and copied 6gb of audio files, the device got unbearably laggy as I tried to open the audio files and I reckoned maybe rooting and installing a new audio player might help.
but all the instructions I find online are about 1.0.04.12210 firmware and mine is 1.0.05.11130. I wonder if I can apply the instructions on my device without bricking it? Do I need to downgrade to 1.0.04? if so how? |

I think a 64 GB SD is too much to handle for this allmost ancient device

Has anyone done this recently? Are the resources still available, and would there be app versions that would still run? I used to have a Sony TRs-1 rooted to allow me to run the Kindle app on it, but on getting it out to play with recently, something had obviously happened to the SD card. In the end the only way I could get it to work was to remove the SD card, download the latest Sony firmware and clear it back to scratch. I’ve got later e-readers, but this would still fill a small niche in my eco- system if I could read Kindle and Kobo on it directly. Even more so if I could add an app that did tts like moon+ Reader, but that’s probably asking too much!

I have my old PR1-T1 I am trying to revive, it's a bit unhappy, as it's got a hybrid mix of system files.
I think it's boot image is 1.07, however the system is 1.04. It will boot if there is no USB cable attached, and the sytem runs up, it will hang the moment a USB cable is inserted to a connected PC, Wifi doesn't function. If I start in recovery, I can get a serial console and log in as root. I have managed to flash a system from the SD card, however the only system image I can find is 1.04, which is no use to me. I guess my only way to bring back functionality is: a) find a system TGZ of 1.07 b) find a kernel of 1.04 (and work out how to flash it). Anyone know an easy way to get this reader functional again? Thanks. I have the update file for 1.07, PRS-T1 Updater.package I can't run the updater EXE, as the unit hangs when USB is connected. Is there a way of extracting the encrypted filesystem from this file, or applying the file system update from SD card ? Last edited by VimFuego; 05-21-2024 at 08:57 AM. |
