Has anybody bricked their psp with flashing gone wrong (aka cintro or xflash) and sent it back to SONY with no problem or has anyone gotten caught?:confused:

Well having custom fw and modifying (aka flashing) is illegal and they may send it back if they find out cuase it goes under modification not performed by SONY.

I think he means if Sony found out you were running homebrew on the system. nothing they can do about it anyway.

I bricked one of my white PSPs using cIntro a few days ago. Right now, I'm thinking if I should get a modchip or just be stupid and put it out with the trash.

If you send it to them. They just get another PSP they can update to a higher firmware

I know somebody who sent his PSP with a messed up UMD drive to Sony and they sent him back a 1.0 (which he then upgraded to 1.5) Yesterday I bricked a PSP trying to downgrade it, but I returned it so it's ok.

As for bricking your PSP from xflash, so what? Just recover it, and if you don't have 3.03 OE you are behind. I semi bricked my own PSP from the version changer but recovered it.

I had 3.03 oe a' but the flash messed up recovery too. i already sent it out though. there was nothing i could do. i just wanted to know if i had to worry about me getting mine back instead of a refurbished one
