hey guys, hope someone can check my situation:

i had 3.10 OE-A and i tried to update to 3.30 OE, i did it with no problems, i had in 3.10 OE the usb files for loading my games via usb, i tried put them back in the flash0 folder and when i restarted, it didnt whant to boot, sow i got my memory stick, put the recovery folder in the game folder with the file that you create with the 2 firmwares, i think is the DXAR files (correct me if im wrong) the thing is that i could boot my psp so i had no chance to make the files, but i had a copy of the file, and i forgot if this files was already open for writing or not, i took my chances and use the recovery mode to tried to re-flash again, but unffortunaly it gave me the error that the file was already open and it shutdown. I saw on page 4 of this thread something that if the back light of the psp is on and the memory stick flashes or blinks, it maybe a chance to recover my psp ? i had an idea, if i put back a good DXAR file and the psp starts reading from it, someone said maybe the psp is trying to still read a missing file from the ms, dont know if is posible because what u said, there maybe no OS to install the files, but i want to clear my doubts. any suggestions besides SONY will be good, thanks!!

****ing Hell talk about bring back an old thread

[Anger]

ok lets put this simply seeing as its already been brought back from the dead.
if the screen lights up AND the memory stick light flashes AND it has a custom firmware on it you CAN recover it by using recovery mode. then you just need to get the dxar file and the installer and run it directly from recovery mode. (read the insturctions that came with the custom firmware - thats what there for)
under ANY other circumstances, except modchip and sony, you cannot unbrick a psp.
some mod please feel free to lock this old thread.

this was like the first thread i ever made when i was a complete noob. and why would you need to lock it?

[splodger15]

As it would stop it people bringing it up in the future

[Anger]

because the thread is nearly 1 year old. and also the questions have been answered ages ago, except the new one just added.

Why'd you bump such an old thread?

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!

NOTE:

IF THIS IS A COMPLETLY STUPID IDEA, PLEASE DONT RUB IT IN. ALSO, JUST BECAUSE MY PROFILE SAYS NEWBIE, DOESNT MEAN I AM A NEWBIE TO PSP HOMEBREW ECT.

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

AvengedSevenfold Fan good idea hope someone hears you up there...
