Well like i've said before i've done this on 20+ other PSP's and never have had this problem ALL have been successful so as long as you've got the right files it should be fine.
I am basically a loyal 1.5-er and the prospect of 2.71 HEN etc. never really interested me. But now this 3.03 oe-a (& a' and b) seems like it might be worth upgrading to.
I have bricked 2/3 PSP downgradesso I want to be extra careful with this. I intend to upgrade to 2.0 then MPH d/g to 1.5 to clear the f/w (just in case it makes the upgrade fail cos i hav used themepsp).
But there is one thing i noticed: about 10 people have cropped up on various forums complaining about a fault regarding 'data.dxar already open' when the 1.50 section of the flashing completes. This then effectively bricks their PSPs because in most cases the recovery mode fails to do anything except USB. I just thought that surely if we're expected to provide our own 150.pbp and 303.pbp surely they would have to be of a matching region?... And perhaps the people were stupid enough to combine 2 regionswhich would, in thoery cause that.
So could all you successful 3.03 oe-[a,a',b] tell me which firmware regions you used. I'd also b interested in some failed updaters regions if possible then we can all prevent bricks
sory if that was a bit long i just want to get my point across!
Well like i've said before i've done this on 20+ other PSP's and never have had this problem ALL have been successful so as long as you've got the right files it should be fine.
yeah thats what i thought but surely the region mismatch could have caused other peoples problems...
I haven't had problems with regions so just make sure you pick the right update for you if that is the issue
I generated the data.daxr with the 3.03 OE-A setup maker using a US 1.50 updater and a Japanesse 3.03 one on 2 UK 1003 and 1 European 1004 PSP models. I had no problems after installing the custom firmware on my units.
If youre still worried just use a data.pxar from someone who used it and was succeful with it
here's a link to a very good guide to upgrading to 3.03 oe-a. I used it to upgrade my 1.5 psp with 0 problems, since it includes all files needed for the upgrade.
note that you must upgrade to 3.02 oe-a first, you can't go straight to 3.03 oe-a.

thanks to all of u. after i have cleaned my firmware i think i'm going to go for it and upgrade...
Edit: Do i actually need to clean my fw?
oh wierd, it said in all the 3.03 oe-a threads that you must install 3.02 first. lol oh well. It's super easy to upgrade from 3.02 so that guide is good for people that don't know how to upgrade to 3.03.
and no I never "cleaned" my firmware, and i'm not really sure exactly what you mean by that. I just installed it after backing up my memory stick on my PC.
