The root for the Sony PRS-T2 is finally available as of a few days ago. I have already reported on the release of the entire package, with the caveat that it would only work for the US model. This is now moot, as the EU model can also be easily rooted. For a current price of 99 euros, you get a budget-friendly combo of a tablet and eBook reader. Before […]
Read allJust under 3 weeks ago, the situation regarding rooting the Sony PRS-T2 looked rather bleak, as the security loophole that allowed it on the PRS-T1 was closed by Sony and Google. The developer of the root access said there was nothing more he could do. However, when another developer took on the challenge and was able to create a complete system image after disassembling the reader and through a lot […]
Read allA few days ago I showed you how to root the Sony PRS-T2. With this, it’s possible to install various Android apps and use the PRS-T2 as an affordable (currently for only 99 Euros!), lightweight, small, and eye-friendly tablet replacement. However, there’s a somewhat annoying drawback that already affected the Sony PRS-T1: the free memory for the data partition on the reader is much too small. On a freshly rooted […]
Read allA week ago, I showed you in a short article how to root the Sony PRS-T2 to gain full access to the Android operating system, which serves as the foundation for Sony’s user interface. The process is relatively simple and safe. You just need to run two programs that unlock the reader for root access. However, root access may not always be as useful as expected, so you might want […]
Read allThe latest articles about the Sony PRS-T2 here on CME.AT have almost exclusively focused on rooting the device. This topic is more for tinkerers and advanced users. However, basic questions often arise, such as how to actually buy eBooks on the PRS-T2. After a year-long delay, the Sony Reader Store is still not online. Nevertheless, Sony has made arrangements in partnership with bookstores so that you can comfortably purchase eBooks […]
Read allThe question has been repeatedly asked in our forum over the past few hours: Why doesn’t the root work with my Sony PRS-T2 as described in the guide? The answer is simple, though probably not very satisfying for those affected: Root access is not possible with the current firmware 1.0.05.12140 unless the jailbreak was installed before the software update. Devices with firmware 1.0.05.12140 cannot be rooted at present. The reason: […]

Two completely different devices, yet they are the flagship models of their respective companies in the eBook reader sector and thus directly compete with one another. Moreover, both devices achieved the same very good rating in our test run. We are talking about the Kobo Glo and the Sony PRS-T2. Last year, Sony and Kobo’s contenders entered the ring with the same technology, although the Kobo Touch managed to draw […]
Read allJust like last year when the PRS-T1 was prematurely put online by an online retailer, the same seems to have happened with the Sony PRS-T2. The new Sony Reader was actually supposed to be unveiled at IFA 2012 on August 29, but thanks to the US retailer J&R, we already know what’s in store for us. As expected, Sony has moved away from the polished glossy surface of the PRS-T1 […]
