Did i brick my psp ?

Hi everyone, hope someone can help me here.

I've been using themepsp 1.2 and absolutely loving it. It all worked fine i hope i didnt brick my psp.

What happen was i installed devhook.51, and downloaded themepsp 1.2 again, it worked the first few times until it suddenly stop working. i'm stuck at devil's may cry theme, right before the char kick the screen, it hangs, and switches off by itself.

It starts okie, i can scroll around on fw1.5 and all, but when i try starting a prog or update, the same thing happens, - its suppose to kick the screen then start the prog. But after installing devhook .51, and like i said it worked first few times (with spiderman theme), it stop working with devil may cry theme.

I've tried formatting my memory stick and reuse the programs, devhook 0.44 (the one i use to use before switching to 0.51), it hangs on the very same spot, where the char kicks the screen. So i'm pretty much stuck. I have a feeling its the theme that was corrupted, and wrote the corrupted stuff into my flash0. am i right ? :confused:

Can someone pls help me, have i bricked it? its a gift from my gf, and i cannot afford to buy another one, though the price has drop its still too expensive for me. please help.

Do you have recovery?

do you have custom firmware?

edit: nevermind $n!per's got you, your in good hands

no. whats recovery ? as in custom firmware ? i've read about harley custom firmware or some sort but i dont wanna be a smarta** act by myself. coz at least now i can still start my psp.

So i guess my answer is no i dont have a recovery :(

So the gameboot.pmf is not the default one, and when you try to run any homebrew it gets stuck at that screen?

yeh i think that's the case $n!per, he doesn't have custom fw either

wow thats some technical shit.. i dont understand :(

i just know, technically i dont have the recovery software like u guys have.

please tell me there's a way to fix this... sigh....

how do i know if my gameboot.pmf is the default one ? default as in from sony ? or from before my psp stop working on me ?

and yes, my psp hangs everytime i start whatsoever homebrew (as in sw ppl make yeh ? )

yeh the default one is the original PSP gameboot.pmf, wait can you see the XMB or "main screen" on your PSP? or does your memory stick light just keep flashing?

sounds not good. if you used a custom gameboot thats corrupt then you cant load any games. no games on 1.5 with no recovery means no way to fix it that i know of.
