since u have flash access via USB through the recovery mode, is it possible to format the flash0 and flash1 and just replace it with a firmware dump? is that safe to do? and can u access recovery mode with any brick, like what if the brick completely formats the flash, then can the recovery mode run?
Why would you want to. I think if you do that recovery wont work nor will PS1 games as they require hacked PS1 EMU
i do not think so i have a 1.50 stuck on the BSOD and can not even open up recovery mode it opened up at first and i ran the recovery eboot and i am still stuck on the BSOD and now cant even open up recovery mode anymore i just wish i reformatted the flash while i had the chance
btw it is my flash 1 that is corrupted
You should be able to get out of that by pressing "O" and resetting everything. It's normal to have that display after a recovery.Quote:

ok, can someone just answer my question please? is it possible to format the flash in recovery mode and just copy and paste a firmware dump through the usb?? and say u got a psp virus or something that was to format your flash, or w/e, could you still run recovery mode, since recovery mode is in the flash?
no
Insane....
I wouldn't think so, unless it loads recovery into VRAM. Windows might format it it's own way, and corrupt it.
hey, you really are insane.
i did answer your question!
and besides, there is no point to do it...unless you have strange masochistic desires to take your psp to death and back...for fun
Why are you calling me insane?? im just wondering this incase i were to brick, i wouldn t have to worry about downgrading, i could just install the firmware manually
Well, you could just drag and drop the files instead of formatting it.
Or better yet run recovery eboot from the recovery menuQuote:
