porkupan (boroda) still active?
Hi,i have troubles updating PRS-650 firmware,starts nicely,then after first reboot and short updating files (note on ereader screen),it reboots again,and goes into library mode,then i get message,that update wasnt sucessful.I have suspicion,it might be related to russification version 1.05k from porkupan(boroda),i have on my ereader.Or maybe not...
Anyway,wasnt there back in days way to flash PRS-650 via memory stick?(dont have any,are they still avaylable)?Was it super hard? Last edited by melkorbauglir; 02-05-2021 at 01:52 PM. |

Well,i found Porkupan ftp archive,its still online,plus got from long dead russian forum (www.the-ebook.org)250 MB PRS-650 tools pack
.https://projects.mobil…reader/users/porkupan/ In that pack was totally alternative firmware from :https://archive.org/de…-applications-firmware Installed no problem,but its awkward to use,so i removed it. In PRS-650 tools pack i got,was PRS-650 russification update from porkupan (boroda),v.105n,no exe,update_bat file for installation.To my surprise,worked again like charm. So,in general i got cyrillic epubs again working on my PRS-650."With older Sony firmware" FIX: porkupans 1.05n also updated my reader Sony firmware,so its now v.1.0.00.14080! .Why it refused to update Sony firmware to latest one on that device via Sony exe updater,is beyond me.Windows 10?UAC?Who knews.(i suspect its W 10 issue) (Would be nice ofc update Sony firmware to latest one)FIX:done! and PRC+ it,but as it is so outdated reader,going to try to gift my daughter at summer some nice 300 ppi Pocketbook reader. If anybody needs PRC-650 toolset from died russian forum,can upload it (www.the-ebook.org) Last edited by melkorbauglir; 02-06-2021 at 05:51 PM. |

Also, the version of RMSDK on your 659 is very old. Too old to support hyphenation. With the latest firmware, your Pocketbook has the current RMSDK. That means you can read ePub 3 (with ePub 3 features) and have a better reading experience with ePub 2. |

Yeah,pocketbook got firmware update not so long ago.
Reagardless epub 2 or 3 or rtf,or mobi,recently collided with quite good book with awfull build (inserts arent readable almost in any form),named" XX "( by Rian Hughes).You are warned.Only way its inserts are fully readable, is in PC. You all are warned ![]() |
