offtopic: i'm not sure if you should mention in your sig that you have all those UMD backups.

[splodger15]

I never use theme PSP

so do you keep on getting BSOD

Have you tried updating

[darthhaze420]

cant update the xmb id disabled that is my problem

[splodger15]

There is nothing you could do.

Either take it back to the shop

Or

Send to Sony

Have you got a PSP or know anyone else with a PSP. Because you can get 3.02OE and get the recovery mode onto your MS and fix it with that. Even better if you have a Memory Card Reader you could just put the recovery folder on your MS yourself.

3.02 easy installer with recovery mode

[darthhaze420]

thanks for the help but i think recovery mode only work for custom firmware i tried and nothing happens for me thanks for the help

What happens when you click O ?

[splodger15]

It restores settings

[vision]

i know that but i was asking the dude because if you press O it should take you back to the xmb after reboot so what happens after you click O

[darthhaze420]

it's starts to reboot and then goes back to the BSOD and it keeps trying to reload and it keeps going to the BSOD if i put in a 1.50 umd game it will load up and play just fine when i quit the game it's back to the BSOD i googled how to unbrick my psp iand read i can open it up and make the usb go straight to the flash and fix it from my pc

[splodger15]

Sounds like a corrupt flash

[darthhaze420]

i used the same themepsp that i used on my psp and it worked fine the one with the ps3 theme . i have upgraded my psp to 3.02oe how do i get back 1.50 i find it easier to work with

[splodger15]

Just use the recovery menu

[darthhaze420]

i tried to used the recovery it says to press R while the psp is on and when i do nothing happens i used the basic installer 1.50 off of my pc i am lost on what to do

[splodger15]

Do a full hard reset on the PSP.And do you have the recovery folder installed.

Then load recovery menu

[darthhaze420]

well i used the recovery install program is anything else i need to do besides that

[splodger15]

Load the recovery menu then launch the eboot

[darthhaze420]

sorry for the dumb question but how do i do that i cant seem to find out how to do that

[splodger15]

Press R on start up

[darthhaze420]

i press R on start up and nothing i have the recovery folder in ms\psp\game\

[splodger15]

you need to do a hard reset on the PSP

[darthhaze420]

i did i took out the battery and it still did not work

[darthhaze420]

i just tried once more and still when i press R on start up nothing happens it just goes to the xmb

[splodger15]

Try switching it on then wait about 7 secs then push R

[darthhaze420]

it worked thank you so much you have been a lot of help tried the recovery on my wifes psp but nothing to all that helped me thank you have a merry x-mas splodger and waggster and all of you that help us noobs so many would be lost with out you and people like you
