Help I've sort of bricked my psp!

[Lolth]

So there's nothing else I can do?

[M!ckeY]

how odd, most of the people who brick their psp like never have a custom firmware

[mcvader]

can u not upgrade and downgrade again? I guess not if you can't access the xmb, u Tried taking the memory stick out? I've found the solution to these type of things is usally real simple, too simple to think of perhaps. has anyone else come across this before? I find it hard to believe with all the thousands of people who visit this site that no-one else here has had this problem. Once I got a blue screen that said something about corrupt data and pressing circle(the same one you get when you downgrade from 2.6) and I just turned it off, crossed my fingers and turned it on again and it was fine, you tried that?

As I said I tried to install the custom firmware but for some reason it didn't install, it tld be two file's (cant remember which) were not the same size.
Annoyingly as my friend tried to fix my psp he activated the recovery mode but bfore I could take a proper look he delleted recovery mode, unwittingly thinking it might be of help.
Also I've taken the memory stick out loads (and the battery once or twice) but it still comes up with this screen.
Isn't there some way of making a program to fix this which would boot from a save file (like the edison carter cheat device)
I think what caused the problem is I was using theme psp having just downgraded from 2.71.

Anyone got anymore suggestions?

it said the vshmain.prx was not the same size, and that's cuz u didn't remove the other CFW u had on ur psp...u can't copy over them, it messes it all up

also what did ur friend delete from the recovery mode?

[Lolth]

when it activated it he pressed square, recovery won't show up again (with any key combination we've tried) so we're guessing he's removed it.

can u auto-load anything??? like IRshell

[Lolth]

I can boot umd games which require 1.5 firmware, thats it.
I hadn 't got the custom firmware up and running so that it would auto boot irshell.

[razorak]

oh dear...he's got the same prob as Apoklepz

Thats why I only mess with devhook emulated firmware. I dont see the point in aestheticallay enhancing the psp firmware 1.5. Its just too risky. I just go as far as custom firmware to be on the safe side incase i ever need recovery mode. At least with devhook you can fix bricks by replacing the files.

I dont think there is anything you can do without taking costly measures.
