yes you are fine, i think this only applys to the PSP SLIM

**buildit92** · October 15th, 2007, 14:20

well this sucks. hopefully dax could fix this but since he quit i dont know..

**tgm123** · October 15th, 2007, 14:38

we dont really have the need to do anything with the psp slim flash, this wont affect general gaming and emulation, it only really affects xmb customization

Exactly my thought. I don't see the point in messing with all that. If I have a working CFW, homebrew, PSP gaming, and emulation, I'm in PSP Nirvana. If I want custom icons, I can use .ptf themes which are not that bad.

However, I must give thanks for those that do take risks and "mess with all that" flash stuff as we would not know the limits or boundaries of the PSP & PSP Slim without people taking those risks.

In closing I must say I foolishly upgraded my PSP Slim WITHOUT making a NAND backup. Is it too late or can I still make a NAND backup while on 3.71 M33-2?

I have fully bricked because of this big 2 times and its dont just 3.71 3.52 as well if u flash from xmb via the xmb menu usb icon it bricks if u use recovery it dosnt and its repairable as long as u have a pandora bat hope this clears some stuff up YOU CAN FIX IT via a nand dump or a upgrade via some thing like hell cat's preboot menu

you can still make a nand dump and when you restore it it will restore the firmware you currently have installed to the flash

so whenver you restored from your dump, you would have 3.71 M33-2 and all your custom settings and network settings would be the same too

still not sure? check my sig
