Problem Booting into Recover mode with 3.40 oe

I recently installed 3.40 Oe and i cant acces my recovery mode or do a battery skip. Ive completly shut off my psp holding the power button for 3-10 seconds to be safe. ive even down loaded the teknopsp's 3.40 Recovery boot ever time i try to star it itll say This game cannot be started. The data is corrupted. The music starts the file shows but it dosent say it corrupted :( its sorta driving me nuts and yes i have pulled the batter out and poped it back in and help down the R trigger button while turning it back on can anyone help please

Are you SURE your in OE?

It sounds like you aren't on OE, go to Settings and check the System Information. If you are on OE it might just be the recovery part of your flash got corrupted somehow. Just do a full re-install of 3.40 OE and it should create a new Recovery Menu.

I have the exact same problem as Trukeitaro. I have verified in system settings 3.4 OE. Games were working fine then stopped all of a sudden. I am trying to get into the recovery mode to change to "no UMD". Hold in R and nothing happens. Thanks in advance for any help.

K. Press R and hold it, don't let off. Now turn on your psp. When recovery boots, let off R.

OK big problem it wont allow me to re-install my 3.40 oe it says "The latest Version of the system softwar is already installed. There is no need to update."

Well that means your not on 1.50.

...no im on 3.40 oe a so i wouldnt be on 1.50 forgive my ignorance but i belive i was trying to find a way to get into my recovery menut to get back down to 1.50

i have the same problem. i m on 3.40 and i can't get into recovery menu. and there no way to downgrade it. anyone for help????

Yep, your on official firmware.

i recommend to reinstall the OE again

I tried it wouldnt let me lol

Helloooo, am I not even here?

YOUR ON OFFICIAL FIRMWARE!

he is???? oh well too bad buddy!!! lol
better luck next time

I too have the same problem as others. How can so many of us be wrong?

Followed all instructions to the last detail. Seems a little more than a coincidence I would say.

Do you have 3.40?

Yes 3.40 OE-A as confirmed by System Information.

so you can't get into recovery?

Nope not at all. Even tried a few different methods but no result.

Oh, just run the 3.40 OE-A installer again.

yeah. then go to settings and then use default system or something like that

Am just recharging to 100%, already tried reseting to defaults within XMB menu but no result from there. I predict when I try and reinstall 3.40 OE-A it will simply say that I already have it.

It won't tell you if you use the actual 3.40 OE-A update, via the game menu.

By the way, I used the guide over at www.psp-hacks.com written by Calo

Just install it like you did the first time.

Please elaborate...

OK guys found a way around it. Seems recovery mode doesn't work with a soft boot. So pull out the battery, reinsert and then press and hold R while turning on.

Haha, lol. Just hold down the off button till it turns off completely. lol.

you cant get ot recovery without TURNING OFF your psp. not going to standby. you have to hold the power switch up until it goes off then restart while holding R.
