wow.. i cant believe no ones else has thought of this..
i did a similiar thing editing my text awhile back..
just start it up and yank out the battery until it gives you the error screen and you can press O and it will fix the problem for you.. restoring the flash defaults..

your welcome

Hey everyone! Thanks for the kind words! As for the modchip, I'm still waiting for visual proof that it can fix a brick, before I buy it. Bullhead and Accordian boy, the best of luck to both of you with those exams!

To Novo.... I'm not really sure I can trust you on that, but I'll try it out, nevertheless... I mean, what else can go wrong right?

well that is a good suggestion, however correct me if im wrong but doesnt flashmod write the fonts to flash0 not flash1?
if thats the case this idea wont work. it is however worth a try. i have to admit its something i never thought of. if flashmod writes the fonts to flash1 this may well be a fix for everyone that has been having this issue. ill have to go find out where flashmod writes the fonts to.

*EDIT*

ok did my research - it does write the fonts over the psp's originals so it is my belief this trick wont work. let us know if it does.

...Well, I guess he ment to yank the battery out while trying an update... But since I can't even update, it just turns off the PSP and nothing happens... Oh well... waiting for the modchip.

You cant load ANY hb? Is that right?

Yes sir... I just get the parental control password check (no imput needed really, I just use it for means of not loading the inside UMD I have in the PSP & going straight to the homebrew).
From there I either press X to run the UMD or O to go to the XMB, but O freezes and the XMB never shows up, then the PSP just powers off after ten seconds.

If I try to run any 2.00+ UMD game or movie I just get the background freeze to the PSP forced shutdown.
