HELP! flash agent caused psp brickage

[g00gy]

flash agent caused my psp to brick. i open it and cant even enter recovery menu. when i open it the memory stick light flashes a little but the screen stays black.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELPME!!!!!

has my psp finally kicked the bucket?

[Shrygue]

If the PSP can't load the XMB and access to the recovery menu doen't work when you turn it on, you have landed up with an total brick.

[=Trojan=]

Yep like YKB said. Sounds like a total brick if you cant access recovery.

Try taking batteryout then placing it back in then try recovery if nothing still then total brick

[keefurxxcore]

hey
first, flash agent didn't brick it, you did (no offense)
secound, email me at [email protected] if you need help because i don't like using pm and threads are laggy.

[keefurxxcore]

[g00gy]

it looks like i cant be helped. if my psp is bricked im going to have to return back to my gray little life. i dont know if i can dish out the money again for another one :(

[froggie22]

try sending it back to sony n say that the power went out when u were upgraded the fw.. atleast then u can still use it. but sadly no homebrew

[Triv1um]

lol, don't use apps next time.

when you do it through the recover usb flash0 you know what your doing.

[buildit92]

If it messes with something after the XMB boots thats ok.

If its flash to do with something before the XMB boots and its wrong you have a total brick.

I have also semi-bricked MANY times, but it was because i was changing things that take place after the XMB boots.

[Cloudhunter]

That is only a semi brick...

Atlast Sony agreed to come and pick it up with a replacement.

thank you all for your help.

but now since they will give me a psp with no homebrew :( :( can you guys show me a good place that sells 1.5 psp's. and do you guys reccomend getting a psp thats not black becuase i heard newer colours dont have that annoying square button problem.

EDIT: 1.5 or anything downgradable. and if anyone can post the letters of the boxes in correspondance to the firmware

EDIT EDIT: there are no downgraders. so can someone give me a guide to buying a psp with the correct firmware and non TA-082

[=Trojan=]

I went in to Currys Digital near me. And the still had Non TA-082 PSP'S along with 2.50 Firmware

[cal360]

TA-082's are now fully downgradable as well as TA-086's there's no need to worry about the motherboard at this point in time right now you just want a PSP that at the highest the firmware is 3.03 anywhere passed that its not downgradeable but don't worry about the motherboard

[scottyboynow]

I've never bricked my PSP, although I flash about 2 items a week.

[g00gy]

so how can i tell if a box has a 3.03 psp inside?

can someone please complete this list for me at what point does it stop being downgradable i cant find information on further than 2.01.

A-1.50
B-1.51
C-1.52
D-2.00 Unconfirmed
E-2.00 Unconfirmed (likely 1.52)
F-2.00
G-2.01

[=Trojan=]

I think 3.03 was a M box code

[xg917]

A = 1.50 confirmed
B = 1.51 confirmed
C = 1.52 confirmed
D = 1.52 confirmed
E = 1.52 confirmed
F = 2.00 confirmed
G = 2.01 confirmed
H = 2.50 confirmed
I = 2.60 confirmed <-- i bought that as my first psp. and i can confirm it
J = 2.70 unconfirmed
K = 2.71 confirmed <-- i bought that as my 2nd psp and i can confirm it
L = 2.81 confirmed

i went to walmart a few days ago, i saw that all the psps there, were K lettered

[=Trojan=]

M is 3.03 confirmed by 0okm if i am correct

[cal360]

Just try to get a box with one of the codes in xg917's post and hopefully you'll get a homebrew compatable PSP back

[DragonPimpsta]

man, if i bricked my psp i would die.. :( i flash ALOT but i never even semi bricked or anything :D

[g00gy]

please guys i need a really accurate confirmation that M is 3.03

[=Trojan=]

My mistake M 3.01

[g00gy]

So guys if i get a 3.03 it doesnt matter what mother board right? il still be able to downgrade right????

[dejkirkby]

In the UK a K box=2.60. I know bwcause I bought 2 and my brother-in-law bought 1.

$ony would know that you were lying because they would see the flash was messed around with.

[g00gy]

actually it worked they are going to come and replace it. thank god.

but im still asking. does the motherboard of the psp not matter anymore. becuase the last time i checked TA-082 was impossible to downgrade.

[xg917]

well now u can downgrade a TA-082 or TA-086. u dont notice my sig??

[g00gy]

but can a TA-082 or TA-086 be downgraded from 3.03?

[Sonicboy 101]

Yes, all from TA-079 to TA-086 can be downgraded from 3.03
