Thank you so muchsergmoj for assistance in working on firmware modifications!

ATTENTION: THIS INSTRUCTION IS RETURN FOR VERSIONS ON THE RIDER 1.0.00.09010, 1.0.00.09270, 1.0.02.10280, 1.0.03.11140, 1.0.04.12210, 1.0.05.11130

If software version of your reader 1.0.00.11041 / 2.0.00.14070 - readhere !!

EXTREMELY NOT RECOMMENDED TO UPDATE ON VERSION 1.0.06.03210 and higher!

Details:
In late March, Sony released new firmware for its e-books PRS-T1 (the support of which, it would seem, has already ended) and PRS-T2. The version for the PRS-T1 device is 1.0.06.03210 and is available both on the US and on the Russian websites of the corporation. Apparently, the update program to version 1.0.06.03210 is suitable for any version of the Sony PRS-T1 e-book model. To date, this is the latest version for both the "American" and "European", and for the "Russian" model. In the update description, the developer reports that the software has made minimal changes: the new version opens access to the Reader Store and eliminates the problem of deleting books from the Google Books library (depending on country and region settings), which is no longer supported in the Reader Store.

The most important thing in all these versions is that after their installation, the owners of electronic books completely lose the opportunity to install any third-party packages and alternative software on their devices. Moreover (and this is the worst): if you had already installed third-party software at the time of the update, for example, one of the most common packages from amutin, rupor or boroda, then after updating the version, you will not only have the Russification go programs, but the built-in software will probably not work correctly. Judging by the mail we receive, the owners of e-books have encountered serious problems when establishing communication with a computer via USB cable, many have stopped working Wi-Fi. We strongly advise against upgrading the firmware on your devices until there is any clarity. First of all, this warning concerns those who have already installed alternative software on their e-books, for example, the Cool Reader application for reading. Well, for those who have mistakenly installed a new firmware on their book and found that the device has stopped working normally, I can advise you to take your device to a specialized workshop where your device will be tried to be restored to the previous version using a hardware flashing.


INSTRUCTIONS to restore T1 (US version) to version 1.0.04.12210 (for updated, for those who hang on the Opening Book screensaver) - Sony PRS-T1 - firmware (Post by vadeus # 41683820)
Rollback / restore RU version T1 is possible onlyin the "iron" way.

Minimal packages can be updated over the original firmware or any installed package. Updating the standard package is correct only through restoring the reader to its original state. First roll the recovery package for your version of the software reader and then flash the latest version of the standard package!

- support for the latest firmware 1.0.05.11130
- Total Commander 2.0
- the cooler version cr3.0.57-15-19-jotas.apk with support for incomplete page refresh when paging

0.30/1.70
- changes made from rupor (20120517):
-In the native reader added the battery indicator and clock. All changes occur during the redrawing of pages, so that improvements do not affect the power consumption
-Added some of the finds of Morkl to read epub files:
Removed bold / italics bug when switching fonts (small caps)
Added support for userStyle.css
Removed length restrictions on highlights
-userStyle.css should be located in the epub directory in the device’s internal memory (/ mnt / sdcard / epub). In AMR there is a to_copy directory with an example of css and a set of fonts. If all this is copied to the internal memory of the device after flashing, then when opening the Russian epub without the embedded fonts, the cracks will no longer be displayed. If there is no /mnt/sdcard/epub/userStyle.css file, the reader will behave as before.
-Native Reader has learned to read FB2.ZIP
- Fixed algorithm for shortening the names of auto-collections (p4veltr)
-Added correct handling of special characters in directory names
-Added auto-trimming algorithm for long names of auto-collections
-Included Total Commander RC7
-Added auto-collections based on directories
- a rutexplorer was left in the 0.30 package, a total commander was installed in the package 1.70 instead of the rutexplorer
0.29/1.69
- new coolreader_3.0.57_8 version
- new version of colordict.3.5.1
- changes made from rupor (20120422):

Rewritten Media Scanner in Content Manager - many repairs, including:
Improved error handling
When you delete a file, its history is deleted.
Existing notes are properly processed.
Replacing an existing file is properly processed (resized)
If there is a .nomedia file in the directory being scanned, this directory (and all the nested ones) will not be scanned for books, pictures, etc.
Removed FB2 thumbnail (no cover in the book) causing so many objections. Now using a drawing from Content Manager chosen by Sony. I no longer decide what to show. If you are reading an FB2 book without a cover, when you turn off the device, the screen will not show any pictures.
Removed RootExplorer (when installing the firmware, an attempt is made to remove any versions on the device)
Total Commander RC6 is installed - if Total Commander has already been installed, it is first removed when installing the firmware.
Version 19.4 busybox
Version 2.04 fix_permissions
- Rutexplorer is left in package 0.29, total Commander is installed in package 1.69 instead of Rutexplorer
0.28/1.68
CoolReader_3.0.56_13 and Orion_Viewer_0.29_3 are built into the packages.
changes made by rupor (20120325):
- Fixed deadlock in services.jar - mounting and unmounting when working with USB is now faster than in the "native" firmware. When using Apps2SD, the device no longer hangs when unmounting and detaching after using "Reader for PC" and Caliber
- Fixed SQL statements in Content Manger - books with "$" in titles are now correctly cataloged.
- Time zones have been updated - the base of 2012 is used, so Moscow’s time zone should work correctly.

The people, and in the US version, did anyone encounter the fact that the reader, when connected to a PC, seems to be half a minute, and then disappears and writes a disconnect? Because of this, he does not have time to say goodbye ... Cables, etc. I tried different, because two books on hand, RU and JUS.

Is it possible for some numbers to check which region the book belongs to? There is a suspicion that the RU version could have done the US version.

Once the info device opened, there was a firmware version 1.0.04.12210, the manager sees three Sony volumes when the cable is connected (not the date transfer mode, but just the cable connected to the PC). The driver properties indicate:

Installing the wpdfs.inf_amd64_10bfe1c48f153b03 driver for the instance of the device with the ID SWD \ WPDBUSENUM \ _ ?? _ USBSTOR # DISK & VEN_SONY & PROD_PRS-T1 & REV_2001 # 148427381000659 & a.

What does SONY & PROD_PRS-T1 & REV_2001 mean?

The recovery package on the card threw, the procedure with Updating passes, but nothing changes. The date of the Shuttle service turns on and then disconnects, does not see the book on the map, and in general. That is, the menu works, an empty reader.

On my version of RU shows:

SWD \ WPDBUSENUM \ _ ?? _ USBSTOR # Disk & Ven_Sony & Prod_PRS-T1__SD & Rev_2007 # 148427601537345 & 1 # {53f56307-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b} device requires further installation.

But strangely, in the US version in the controller hangs 3 letters with the data that this is a Sony Reader, and in RU there are two drive letters ..

Hello! I was given this device, I was lying idle for a few years, and I just need to read the pdf-reprints.
She turned on, wrote, “the opening of the book,” the scale was filled and the loading went with flashing spinning arrows. That's it over. It somehow twisted for 12 hours while I was leaving it on the charge. Restarting the process has turned off, so that it does not work idly. I tried several times, the song is one.
When you connect to a computer, the computer does not see the book, so I can not dig into the settings.
Tell me please, is this something being treated at all?

Depending on the localization, if the US version, then the probability of reviving is (instruction in the header), if RU, then it is unlikely.

Honestly, I can’t imagine which version, however, the “opening of the book” writes in English. Thank you, I will try according to the instructions, although it is not clear what to try to revive him through, the computer does not see him, and he does not boot. Through the SD card?
And about the choice of books - well, it is inconvenient to read them from a computer or phone, so that the gift horse ...

Good day to all!
Amenican, buggy often - hung, braked. I tried to flash a lot. after the last time, I have not remembered what I already remembered, it worked relatively stably. I use it rarely, I have not taken it in my hands for a year. charged, turned on. two days is normal, and hung. I reboot - the opening book, then the arrows spin (three times), freeze, after a minute or two they spin again (19 times) and the reader goes into reboot. and so endlessly. I can’t execute all the mentioned instructions - it is not included in the recovery. By pressing various combinations of buttons, and connecting / disconnecting to the computer, I achieved that it hung on the opening book with a full ruler. the charge indicator is flashing yellow .. At some point, the computer identified some device (forgot the name, then disappeared) on COM6, installed firewood. now endless reboot, only with arrows, without "opening". "sony digital book reader" appeared on the computer in the system, and three USB-drives D, E, F with zero size ...

Hello everyone!
Tell me, what is the extreme working version of the cooler? I have 3.0.57-15-19, amutin ver. 1.71. The problem is that well, it opens for a very long time, the white screen hangs for several minutes. Then everything starts. Somehow I tried to install other versions, they are put next to each other, still hanging. Olrider too. Now nothing extra is installed. Feels like the number of books does not depend. The reader is still loading normally, the books have been flooded for a long time and with indexing by the reader a full order, I suppose. Kulrider is not exiled to the card. A couple of years ago, everything in the same configuration worked flawlessly. Restored the system, rolled everything in a new way, for a while it was normal, then again the brakes.
