bootloop
I have Sony PRS-t1 and the opening book screen keeps flickering and keep rebooting it seems.
More details
I read that I can boot into some kind of recovery mode or flash it, but not really sure. I don't care about the books on there, just want to get it working. Where should I start? Thanks in advance Last edited by charmees; 11-18-2018 at 02:31 PM. |

If Barbara1955's suggestion doesn't work, you could try Porkupan's SD rescue package.
This can be complicated, check out this post: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...72&postcount=5 |

Thank you for responses.
It can not be turned off I think, pressing/holding reset, nor turn off does nothing unfortunately. The openining book window is always on and the reader is blinking orange light. Quote:

Question
EDIT: After 15 minutes I see that the progress bar has moved back to 0, maybe it restarted itself, but still stuck at 0 now. Checked the sd card, the diag.log did not also appear Last edited by charmees; 11-19-2018 at 03:19 AM. |

Take out the Battery. Wait about 5 mins then put it back in.
Last suggestion Buy a New eReader. |

Whenever one adds a ePub from an unknown source, one should have used the SD card not the main memory.
Because when this particular ePub is defective, one way or another, the Sony will do exactly as described. 1. Remove the SD card with the offending book. 2. Use the hard reset upon the Sony, instructions are in forum. All data is however lost. |

Before giving up, try my guide. It has worked for me on a couple PRS-T1's with different types of lock-ups/brickings. You must have a micro SD card and a way to access it directly from your computer. This can be a card reader, another Sony Reader or even a tablet/cell phone.
My guide http://www.mediafire.com/file/uu8qai...de_v1.odt/file Most sections are cut/pastes from other guides or forum posts. There is an appendix at the end for things you SHOULD know before starting, but if you are a beginner, may not. Files you will need (mediafire links are mine): Linux Serial USB Driver (for Windows): http://www.mediafire.com/file/aj77g0...c-acm.inf/file HxD Hex Editor: https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/ PuTTY (assuming you're using Windows): https://putty.org/ Porkupan's SD Rescue Package: http://projects.mobileread.com/reade...ard-rescue.zip Rupor Rescue (Recover Console): http://www.mediafire.com/file/8e5u4r...e%2529.7z/file Latests Firmware for PRS-T1 (you can also go to 1.0.05 if you prefer): https://www.sony.com/electronics/sup...loads/W0009912 |
