Yeah same here
i dont want to flash anything
except like an MP3 player but im not going to because i dont want a brick on my slim
and yeah i dont know if i have bad blocks or not because idk does it tell you?
iv only done a nand dump twice... once on my slim and once on my phat
Reading and reading,still nothing.
Would someone kindly run me through unbricking a psp via cemv3?Ive got a bricked nand-dump,and a different psp working nand dump.,Ive got 4 bad blocks in the bricked psp.Could someone run me through,step by step?
Is your bricked PSP Phat or Slim? If it's the Phat u can unbricke it with the old Pandora without the Nand-Dump. If it's the SLIM then u're screwd, since it's a lot harder to unbrick and a bad Nand-Dump won't do you any good.
Ok,I just configed my MS to have both Pandora w/ 3.52M33,and CemV3 with 3.71M33 installers,and all I can do is boot to 1.50 from the MS,all installers fail, all hang at formating flash1 or something called lflash.
its a Phat,and I have a Phat working one,3.71M33.
edit: Got it fixed.Hell If I know how,I bombarded it with every friggin installer I could find atleast twice over and formatted flash1 a billion times,and actually used the flash0 access from pandora to manually copy over a 352m33 f0 onto it (xmb no worky,but recovery did!) and eventually got it to 352.4m33
So is the Dark Alex usb fix i flashed (nervously) to my 3.71 m33-2 psp phat the solution? Can I flash gameboots, wallpapers etc now, without causing bad blocks? Because after the beta fix it has become awfully silent. And why do other sites don't talk about this issue? Is it save to use things like xmb colorer and theme plus nx v3.01?
I think so, I also flashed the USB fix on my PHAT with no problems, and dumped the NAND with no erros. I'm still a little nervous about flashing the USB fix on my SLIM because it is easyer to get unrecoverable bricks on it.
sorry for the n00b question :D, but does this 'bug' only effect USB flash writing, or does it also happen when flashing something through Filer for example?
I had my PSP slim for only one day and managed to install CFW 3.71 M33-2 and brick it fully in one night... :-(.
So that sucks really bad.
Flashing new FW or CFW with pandora gets stuck at flashing flash0. and can't reach recovery.
( I don't have a properly nand-dump).
If there is anyone with news on how to unbrick this kind of brick PLEASE let me know.
( PS: I read something about merging a blank nand with your own nand and then restore your idstorage,.. but there wasn't a clear methode discriped. If anyone knows more about this methode,.. I'm realy interested).
I hope my one day young psp slim will get a life one day again.
[FINAL EDIT]
I found my awnsers @ M4xC0ns0leForum
with a combo of pandora, Despertar del Cementerio V3, elfmenu and nandtool it is possible 2:
- backup and restore nand and IDstorage
- also u can repartition ur nand
so infact what I did is:
- installed elfmenu on my DC v3 ms
- installed nandtool 0.2 in the elf folder (on the DC v3 ms)
- I made a backup of my nand with nandtool 0.2
- repartitioned my nand with nandtool 0.2
- installed CFW with DC v3
- restored my IDstorage with nandtool 0.2
Ratatella.
[ownz FAT PSP @ CFW 3.71 M33-2 and a fully UNbricked slim] :)
What we need is a DC V4 with all pre-installed, it would make our lives easier. I've bricked my first slim too and it was a pain in the @ss to fix it. Nothing like the PHAT PsP.
i got a very very big trouble coz i can't downgrade/upgrade my PSP. The main problem is my PSP won't read any MS even the pandora stick!!!...ON normal (XMB)mood, the led just flashing and on downgrade session the red & green led wont flash...!!! PLZ help me...
