Possible Unbrick Solution! *DONT GET YOUR HOPES UP*

IMPORTANT READ!

my psp is bricked. one of the reasons that u cannot unbrick a psp, is that you cant acsess the usb to install anything on it, but i think i found a way. when you turn my psp on, the backlight comes on, but the screen is blank, then it cuts off after about 20 seconds. but i noticed that my memory stick is being acsessed because the light is blinking. there are things that hook up to your computer that you can put your memory stick/ sd / compact flash into. i have one. so if you can put a file on the memory stick from that, that will run a program or install something when acsessed, u can maybe unbrick your psp!


I MADE THIS POST A LOOONNNGGG TIME AGO WHEN I WAS A N00B!

I believe it is just caching what is on the memory card. You also have to take into account that if the PSP is truely bricked, then there is no 'OS' to run the software. It be trying to install a program on a PC with no OS installed.

is it possible to install an os, or a recovery program?

There is recovery mode on custom firmware but you have to have it already installed.

there are ppl who create viruses that automatically open...ive had one... if we can get something to automatically open when the mem stick is acsessed, and install something, then can something happen???

No because if the PSP is bricked, then there is nothing to run on and this is still taking the assumption that programs can auto run off the Memory stick.

oh, ok

but i thought it was bricked because if a corrupted os, or no os

Precisely, that means there is nothing for anything to run on to execute code except for direct hardware access (eg JTAG)

mod chip time

Yep,but if you go the modchipping route make sure to check out psphacking101 episode 18.Might be easier to trade it in somewhere.

no modchip yet...i have a warrenty, so sony's giving me a new one. i just want to see if there was a way to getting around of waiting a month for a new one. but im putting UP on my new one.

i thought messing with the flash voids the warrenty? well anyways good luck :D

but the thing is...im not telling them i messed with the flash :D perhaps..maybe..an update gone wronge or something..

nah b i unbricked my psp dude. i dont know what the hell happened. listen i had 2.71 and i tried to do that e loader crap and i... well... i dont think the e loader downgrader bricked it, i had the psp ac adapter hooked up to the way end of the room, and it came out with my battery. i turned it back on and BRICK!!! i forced it back off and back on and i had 1.5 running i dont know. i am not a genuis. i had retried this and it worked again. i am not a expert. i didnt even know how to update sony's firmware. oh well i dont know what happened. and 4 the record when i bricked it, there was no mem stick inside so i was like what eva and not i got 2 firmwares. its not impossible, just VERY unlikely.

what u're saying sounds very fishy manny...

Mannyman789,So how were you using eloader with no memory stick in.I dont particularly believe your story,not saying it's not true I just don't believe it.Actually now that I think about it that is impossible,there's no way to downgrade or install any firmware for that matter without a memory stick in!Unless you update from a disk.Sounds more like a devhook dualboot with an attempt to use eloader while emulating 2.71.

no first of all i had a 1.00 firmware( i got the psp when it first canme out. i kept upgrading becuase i didnt know about homebrew. when i found out, i tried to do the downgrade and it bricked it. so i tried to unbrick it for a LONG time and then i gave up and sold my mem stick.(i had 2gb) then one day, my friend unbricked it and it was 2.6. i sussecfully did a downgrader with eloader to 1.5 and ran dev hook.(so i did not have ta 082 mobo) if you dont believe me, i have a video of my friend unbricking my psp. http://www.geocities.com/mannyman7899/mcexploit.htm right click UNBRICK PSP and click save as target. IM NOT LYING SEE 4 URSELF!!!

There's nothing there, man...all I get is a stupid chime sound, but no message window when I try to save target as...Just how did your friend "unbrick" your PSP without a modchip?

Also...first you said you had a 2.71 and now you say you had a 1.00? Why should we believe all this talk about your friend unbricking your PSP?

it doesnt work, and if ur gonna lie, do it right

Is that covered by the waranty, or did you not mention that you bricked it?:D

i got my new one about a month ago, i just told them that it cut off during an upgrade, the dumbasses believed me. i should have sent in a list of great homebrew games along with my psp. lol

Lol

But was it a TA-082?

someone needs to figure out how to make a device that can write DIRECTLY to the psps internal flash.. like wire up an adapter connecting the mobo to a p through usb. then u could make a dump off a working 1.5 and copy it to the flash.

If you use anything that messes with the flash there is a small chance of a brick

if the memory stick blicks when you turn on the psp, it is NOT A BRICK. try flipping your wlan switch or turning hte psp on and turning it to hold immediatly.

your psp is trying to load something off the ms that it thinks should be there.

again

IF IT IS A BRICK, THERE IS NO BLINK.

there is an EEPROM chip writer, tho its about $1000 usd if i recall correctly.

it had to have been a brick. i was downgrading my 2.6, and when i started it, the screen turned black, and the mem stick was blinking, like it was supposed to. but after a long time, it didnt stop, so i took out the battery. when i turned it on, the screen just turned blank, and the mem stick light was flashing. come to think of it, probably should have givin it more time....

dang :(
unfortunatly i think sony gonna give u a 2.80 =(

let us know what happens ><

they already did. ive already recieved a new one, but it doesnt have a cursed mobo
