Partial Brick - unbrick with Epsilon Bios?

hi,
i read this comments and in post 4 langsalang asked if is possible to unbrick your psp with the up modchip and later anger (post 5) answered that it's possible to unbrick the psp.

I read this article (post 2) but i don't understand it.:confused:

so, my psp has a partial brick, i can't go into the xmb, because the font is a wrong one....

i'm going to buy me the modchip, but i would be very happy, if there would be a way to use the flash of the psp:D

so, is it possible and if: what do you have to do???

edit: heres the article with the comments:

yes, i can't run homebrew now, but what i mean that:

i buy the modchip, let it install
so, can i run xflash to write the font into the flash?

i want to know if its possible to write to the psp's flash with xflash to repair the font

ohh yes man, i bricked it before the custom fw was released...

so i know i have to buy the modchip, but it takes a while to send my psp to the pros to install it and then back to me^^

i just want to know, if i will be able to use the flash of the psp?!

yes, i think it's possible, too, but here's what i'm thinking about:

i start the modchip xmb
run xflash
write a new font to flash
----so now what will happen???
---1. it will write to the psp flash
---2. it will write to the modchip flash

it would be very useful, if somebody could say it and is 100% sure

may be there is another way???
load devhook to emulate 2.xx and upgrade to the latest fw via network update
----but same question:
----so now what will happen???
---1. it will write to the psp flash
---2. it will write to the modchip flash
