[xg917]

yes you may by using the recovery menu. contact me through one of the messengers

Literally an hour ago I had never used a psp before and an hour later I have upgraded, downgraded and upgraded again with easy! This has to be the easiest moddable games machine ever (apart from the DC which didn’t need any modding

I’m loving the psp already and I haven’t even play a game yet!

Thanks for the help guys.

I'm so envious of you!

The feeling you get when downgrading to the current golden firmware is damn near priceless. I remember waiting months for the 2.6 downgrader and when it finally came OMG

[dupfold]

oh god! Me and my big mouth!

I think I'm made a boo boo. When I up'ed to 2.71 I understood that I could then delete the upgrader which I thought would be the same for 3.03 oe.

As I didn't want the installation/flasher image displayed in games I deleted the folders but as soon as I had done that I knew I made a boo boo. Not to worry I thought as I'll just restore them from the recycle bin................doh!!!

I have tried the recovery but the PSP turns itself off and thats it. Still fires up fine but of course no homebrew will work.

HELP PLEASE!

for homebrew, make a folder in your psp folder called GAME150 and put ur homebrew in it. it should be able to play. and also, u shouldve contacted me befor installation to be sure... cuz now u cant use the recovery menu, wich is important..

[dupfold]

I did try to contact you via MSN (haven't used in years and now it asks for payment!), and tried aim but it said you were off line.

I take it then the DATA.DXAR was an important file, unique to my psp or what is missing which would cause the recovery not to work (I can still get to the menu BTW). Is it now not possible to get back to 1.50 ever?

[xg917]

wait, u can get into the recovery menu? can u move around in it? like click on stuff?

[dupfold]

yeah, everything is still working fine, I just deleted the firmware installation files by mistake.

I deleted the following folders

303oeflasher
303oeflasher%
oeupdmaker
oeupdmaker%

Maybe I don't need these after all then?

So as I can still get in to the recovery menu how would I (if needed) flash back to 1.50 please?
