Did i brick my psp ?

[mkelvin]

i can see the main screen, but with a background of the devil may cry img. not the usual wavey red pink or blue type. and i cant change to the wavey one too coz fw1.5 doesn have theme change.

sounds not good. if you used a custom gameboot thats corrupt then you cant load any games. no games on 1.5 with no recovery means no way to fix it that i know of.

but i'm not using custom gameboot.. or am i ? what do u mean by custom gameboot ? things like themepsp and devhook ?

the custom gameboot is the little PSP thing that pops up when you start a game

ok so the hanging/ crashing happens while under the devhook? if so you dont have a brick. if it crashes while on 1.5 you have a problem.

yeh the default one is the original PSP gameboot.pmf, wait can you see the XMB or "main screen" on your PSP? or does your memory stick light just keep flashing?

i can see the main screen.
This is what happen when i start my psp

switch on > "Lets rock baby" (instead of the original psp sony sound) > main screen with DMC wallpaper.

I can still scroll around options, pictures, music, video and game tabs. But when i start a homebrew, instead of the psp original screen this theme was suppose to have some dude kicking the screen, but mine freezes half way through the kicking process. It hangs and after a few seconds, let me time the thing..approx 15secs, it switches off by itself.

it crashes on 1.5 and yes i was running a custom gameboot

its sad to know i'm learning so much about my psp but its too late to do anything about it..

well may i recommend upgrading then downgrading, this should fix your problem

edit: wait it will freeze, unless you upgrade thru network update but it will give you 3.30 which you can't downgrade yet, so nevermind i'm outta ideas

[mkelvin]

i tried but it wont run anything, not even the upgrading process, coz it has to go through the gameboot first dont it ?

[mkelvin]

ok... so if i upgrade through network, i still stand a chance ? will it run the gameboot if i update through network ? since downgrading from the latest upgrade is a soon to happen thing with the pros around.. is it ?

stop double posting. if you update through the update icon you will have a clean perfect 3.30 with no homebrew.
