Morkl's June Reader
After all these years, I've still never tried Morkl's fixed reader software.
I have a couple questions about it I can't find answers to. Is June Reader the original software that the PRS-T1 uses, and this is just an update/replacement version? Does this replace the original reading software? That is, is this seamless to use or will there be two reading programs on the device? Finally, is it uninstallable? |

I also think there was something called restore-set-1.0.04.12210 (by user porkupan) which could be used to restore the T1 back to default fw 1.0.04.12210. N.B. I gave away my PRS-T1 several years ago so have no recent experience to offer. Please bear that in mind before considering doing anything drastic based on the above dredged-up memories Last edited by jackie_w; 07-26-2019 at 06:15 PM. Reason: corrected restore-set name |

I didn't see a mention that there was a firmware version limitation just a firmware minimum.
A restore set on newer firmware makes a mess of the reader requiring a lot of intervention to repair. Maybe the only way to uninstall is to do a dump of the drives. |

As far as I remember Morkl's work may have started when the current fw version was v1.0.03.11140. It finished with the June reader (June 2012) when the current fw version was v1.0.04.12210. If your T1 is running a later version than that I don't know what your options are - if any. I don't have enough in-depth Android tech knowledge to answer your questions. I moved from Sony to Kobo before anything later than v1.0.04.12210 became available. I think most (all???) the active Sony hackers moved away from Sony once a root option was no longer feasible. As far as porkupan's restore-sets are concerned, each has the firmware version as part of the zip download name, so I have to assume that they are firmware-specific. I have no idea whether it would be safe to use one of them to attempt a downgrade from a later version. Personally, I wouldn't have risked it when I still had my T1, but that's because I wouldn't have had a clue how to recover from any bricking disaster. Have you searched the Wiki for more info? |
