Brick Help

ooh really? Why not? its not piracy.

so parkermauney sent me the resource folder, and I dropped it into the flash.

But now it shows the sony splash(which it wouldnt do before), briefly shows the XMB on default settings, then goes to a blue screen in all the languages that says "Setting information is corrupted. Press Circle button to repair and restore default settings."

When I hit circle the screen goes black and after 20-30 seconds it turns off.

Any idea what I should do?

I do still have the 1.5 eboot on the memory card as UPDATE.PBP, would running the recovery program help?

ok so i tried running the recovery program and got the same result as when I hit circle to repair from the blue screen as mentioned before... so... yea.

any thoughts?

thanks again, btw, to Parker for sendin me the folder.

Shh... Keep it on teh dl.

When the screen goes black, press the brightness button.

well... I managed the ol switcheroo at the local wally world and found out that new psp's come with 3.11 on them. luckily a friend of mine manages a game stop and he will trade me the brand new one for a used one @ his store that has an older OS so yay. looks like I'll be downgrading from 3.03 within the next day or so and will be back up in 3.4 OE in no time.

thanks to all you guys for your help, especially mr. parker who's been invaluable in my efforts here.

namaste.


btw as for the ol switcheroo at wallymart...
u hafta switch the serial#'s from the bottom of the units if u attempt this route, as that is the # that they match from the box. be careful with the stickers as they show abuse easily. i went as far as to apply a very small amount of glue to the sticker so it would stick to the returning PSP.

sorry if this post offends anyone... but walmart is evil

I did that exact same thing for my psp. It had extended warranty, but my lil sis's had 2.8, so I switched and dg'd. It bricked, so I switched the stickers, got a new 2.71.

W00T!
