Help with HarleyGs custom firm ware

I just downgraded my 2 hour old PSP 2.71 to 1.5. All went well until I installed HarleyGs custom firm ware before devhook 0.46. Then all I got was a black screen with the msg "can't load/start devhook" in the upper left corner. So I went to sleep thinking that I had made a brick in less than 6 hours(: Home from work now, I thought my last option, however fruitless, would be to remove the battery and try again. But before I even did that I hit the hold switch and voila! I got Harley's revovery menu.....
My question is: Which of the following options is the best for me to return to 1.5 and then install devhook?

1:flash ms0:/index.dat to flash0
2:flash ms0:/recovery.elf to flash0
3:flash ms0:/vshmain.prx to flash0
4:Start update EBOOT
5:Remove Custom Firmware

I'm guessing #5, just removing the custom firmware but this time I want to listen to more experienced & educated voices. mucho TIA!

I can tell you an easy way of fixing that problem. Put your wireless switch onto "on" :p As when it's in the off position, it loads straight to devhook. If that isn't the problem, please write back.

Either way, you don't need to remove the custom firmware to install devhook. You could just use the "USB Mode" in the recovery menu to activate the USB and install it from there.

That's weird, it ran perfectly on my cousin's???

It works perfectly well here aswell. I believe the problem is the one which i've stated. I'm just waiting for feedback now :p

i would say check the config file and see what is set to auto boot and change it if need be. the config is in ms0:/PSP/SYSTEM. once you have 1.5 loading as normal then you can fix devhook and make it work. once it works of course its a simple matter to change the config file back and see if it then auto loads. :)

he has the wifi switch down so its loading devhook even though he doesnt actually have devhook. there's the problem. bradsten, GET DEVHOOK!! you need it anyways. it lets you simulate firmware up to 2.71 so you can play commercial games requiring such firmware. listen to cloudy he is wise.

Isnt it something to with a unclean firmware dump i heard that from somewhere

Not when it is saying that it can't run devhook, and devhook isn't even installed... He just has the WLAN switch down in my opinion :p

Put your WIFI switch to "ON" :)

damn right its clearly a lack of devhook causing ur problem. Either install devhook and autoboot to it, turn WIFI switch on and boot to 1.5 or just remove custom firmware altogether.
