PSP Custom Firmware v3.51 M33

[The EX]

this is bullsh*t. i just upgraded and it said it was3.51 m33 but when i copied across my original flah 0 and tried to exit recovery mode it crashed.... so i rebooted and everthig was fine but when i checked my firmware again it said i was back on 3.40 OE A... somethig is weird if u ask me. i dnt think this is real

Your original flash0 must have been from a 3.40OE-A dump.

yeah well i was wondering if this would still run ok if i ran it from the recovery menu
would it be more likly to brick?
just wondering cause im kinda stuck
cause my psp is partly bricked from custom topmenu
and i cant reflash my backup cause linux says theres not enough space (theres still some thing i hate about linux) and my windows system is unusable
so i cant unbrick my sony
just wondering if i could just run the custom update instead?

It should work OK from recovery.

Its the battery icon that is locking your PSP "system_plugin_fg.rco"
I use CXMB too and I think thats a confirmed problem with 2.51M33.
Delete that rco and everything should work fine.

I am sure you have to recover back to 1.50 first.

no, I went from m33 to 3.40 Oe, no problem.

Rename the 'M33CREATOR' folder to 'RECOVERY', and place like so:

X:/PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/

Then run through recovery mode.

Well, there is one way to find out. Someone get a game that requires 3.51 and try to boot it up! Or better yet, let's find a free demo that requires the new firmware and see if it loads. Personally, I'm pretty sure this firmware is the real deal.

Please read your PM psyberjock

Read and replied. =) Sorry, been watching crazy Japanese TV.

yeah, I'd like to watch my american copy of Napoleon Dynamite:P

Me too! I'd like to get it to work so I could buy an American copy of Napoleon Dynamite! Sony and the movie industry just don't know how much money they're losing with these region codes. I would own even more movies if I didn't have to worry about them not being viewable on my hardware. As it is, I am forced to not buy movies. I can't help that I live in a country where they don't speak English! Sure I could watch movies in Japanese, but everyone hates voice overs. I'd rather not watch than have to sit through voice overs. Then if the movie is orginally in Japanese, I'd prefer to watch it in Japanese with or without English subtitles. Region codes screw all that to hell and prevent me from being able to buy anything.

ok so i updated to M33. it was cool, for like 10 min, then i used the Theme Cycler and put a new theme on. when that was enabeled, i couldn't do anything. everything i touched...froze. i couldn't usb connect or anything. i have been able to run homebrew though. i did forget to default settings when i still had 3.40 OE-A , and that trick with default settings still gets me back to frozen pages.


all in all, i need help because i can't downgrade. i used the X.YZ downgrader that came with the 3.50 downgrader package on noobz. that game me an error message "The game could not be started. (DADADADA)." i tried it on both the 1.50 kernal and the 3.51 kernal. i then tried putting the 1.50 eboot in the PSP/GAME/RECOVERY folder. when i accessed that from the recovery mode, i got a black screen, the MEM stick icon flashed for a lil bit and the PSP turned off.


Can anyone help, or tell me my problem?
I wanna downgrade.
