PSP Theme Thread

[Mr. Shizzy]

I think you may have misunderstood what happened. themepsp was put on, following your sites instructions to thte letter, then a loaded the 'darth vader' theme onto it, loaded that theme up and now all that happens is the startupscreen shows, with the imperial march, then it goes to the blue screen of dseath saying corrupt settingas, and every single time i press 'o', it loops back to this screen.

What did you flash it to? MS0, or Flash0, or a devhook firmware? And exactly what parts of the theme did you flash, (bootsound, bg ect...)? Let me know, I will try to help you.

I think he might have screwed up his flash. Do u have harleyg's?

[duke2k5]

You shouldn't even be able to access your PSP's flash to just "cut & paste" stuff into it. Do you actually mean that you tried to manually install a theme to DevHook?

I think you have misunderstood what i mean - i had devhook on my system, and i also loaded themepsp as per here, then loaded pimp my psp on, fine. loaded pokemon, fine. loaded darth vader theme, and then now the psp is bricked and only goes through the startup screen and keeps looping the corupt setting screen,.

[Mr. Shizzy]

Yes I understand bro. But ThemePSP can install to a devhook firmware, or to your 1.5 fw. You still haven't specified which you installed it to. Also I wanted to know exactly which parts of the theme you installed. Did you just install the bootsound, or did you install everything ect... You should also note that I personally test all themes I make before I release them. So you definently didn't get anything bad from my Darth Vader download. You still haven't told us if you have custom firmware or not...Bro I am so sorry your PSP is messed up. Unfortunatley sometimes bricks happen w/o explanation when you flash your PSP. It's always a risk, as clearly stated in the ThemePSP read me as well as on this thread. Again I'm very sory this has happened to you. But if you want help possibly fixing your PSP, then you need to post more info on what happened.




EDIT: Also, you should note that Pimp MY PSP theme is not hosted on this site. I would be very careful of where you download stuff from. Especially if it something you are going to flash to your PSP ! Once again, I personally test ALL themes I've made on my very own PSP before I upload them.

hiya.

thanks for the swift reply.

right then, here goes.

I added all aspects of the theme, i.e. didnt 'untick' any options.

i didnt change the bottom part of the themepsp screen, so i aint sure if it said 'flash0' or ms0.

the bad thing it, i dont have harleyg's installed. if i copy and paste the harleyg recovery file into the root of the 'stick, will it help? if it is a brick then hey ho, i have a nice new shiny white one anyway and wont topuch that one, i was basically gonna have one for playing, and one for developing, but i guess i got me first taste of defeat... hehehe

Also, not sure what you thought i may have implied, but i knew the risk and never for a second even thought it was someone elses fault, i'm one of those people who will take accountability and not blame others for a $#@! up if thats whats happened.

I have no doubt in the fact that they are all tested, i just confused as to why this should happen?

and it went to the 1.50, not devhook, hope this helps...

Oh, man, I was hoping you had HarleyG's 0.2 custom firmware. From the sounds of it, you are still able to access your memory stick on your PC? This is a good sign. Are you able to get to the XMB at all? If not, how are you getting into USB mode? Was your PSP originally a 1.5 or did you downgrade it? And one more question: How many times have you flashed your PSP? (I've heard some ppl say you can only flash it so many times. But I have a hard time believing that. As I have flashed mine what seems like hundreds of times now, without a hitch.)
Oh, have you ever made any other modifications to your firmware before? And here's the biggie: How much battery life did you have when you flashed it? You really should have nearly a full charge when you flash your PSP.

Also, not sure what you thought i may have implied, but i knew the risk and never for a second even thought it was someone elses fault, i'm one of those people who will take accountability and not blame others for a $#@! up if thats whats happened.

I wasn't sure if you were about to start a flame fest on me. I saw that ( ) symbol on top of one of your posts. Then you said "I followed your instructions to the word". So I thought you might have been a little sour about your unfortunate experience. The only reason I even started this thread is b/c it was one way I thought I could "give a little back" to the scene that has given me so much. So I'm sorry if my reply sounded as if I thought you were blaming it on me. Thanks for keeping a positive attitude through this. Again, I am so sorry that this has happened to you. Please post answers to my the rest of my questions, and hopfully we can find a solution to your problem. The fact that you said you may be able to access your USB is a very good sign. Hopefully we can get this situation fixed.

righty oh....

it was a 2.01, upgraded to 2.71, then dg'd to 1.50. i have a memory stick reader so thats how i can access the memory card.

the battery was full, and the ac was in, every time i added a new program, but this was the first time flashing after the downgrade.

i still have the recovery file from harleyg, can this just not be put into the mem tick then into the psp to read on boot up? it appears to read the memory stick straight away, then goes loopy....

[duke2k5]

and why do i have a warning? bit harsh as i am only asking for help....
