who many times have you bricked your psp

[althena77]

If you can recover your PSP, then it is not a brick.

It is called a brick, because it turns your PSP into a really expensive brick. That's all it can be used as, a brick.

Correct, I think what they are talking about here (being unable to boot it and get into the XMB but still being able to recover it) is called a semi brick. Happened to me one time on 2.71 SE when I tried to customize it with XFlash.

thats what i ment stuff like that. not loading xmb. loads battery and time not xmb. and doesnt load anything and stays black.

I bricked 34 times, all recovered via recovery menu except for one when I was updating from 2.60 to 2.70 when I tripped over the AC cable and the battery came out (this was a time before I got on the homebrew scene).

Based on that, no PSP can ever truly be bricked, but many people lack the equipment to unbrick (modchip)

I have semi-bricked twice. First time I moved index.dat to the root of my flash0 (used filer, ths was before usb flash access came out), because I wanted to see the red screen of death. Second time was (everyones mistake) flashing a custom topmenu after upgrading to 3.10 OE.

Back at 1.5 I was a flash $#@!.

Getting back into flashing on 3.03oe-c but I have never bricked, because im not a complete retard

I love how everyone thinks a mod chip can magically unbrick a bricked PSP. You CANNOT unbrick a brick. What don't you understand? Even if your modchip houses a second partition of flash, this won't make a difference. If your ipl is screwed up (ONLY one of the many ways to fully brick), then you are out of luck. NOTHING will recover it.

Yup, Although the UP can recover certain types of brick, as it allows you to reflash effected sections.

However, if your IDStorage or your IPL is dead, then you are gone without a hope buddy.

If you have a TA-082, (for now, unless this new mod chip magically surfaces) you have no chance.
