Can't Access Recovery Menu

[Wisegy84]

To the best of my knowledge, yes. I was using this guide: http://www.pspmod.com/forums/psp-fir...tallation.html

I just tried it again to be sure and I get the same "This program requires 3.52 M33-3 or higher"

I am really confused.

UPDATE!

I tried removing the battery, holding down R while I put the battery in and turned it back on and the recovery menu came up! So I switched the kernel to 3.52 and am now in the process of updating to 3.71 M33! Thanks so much for all the help!

I'm really not sure to be honest. It always worked before with 3.40 OE-A when I turned it off, waited a few seconds, then held in R while I turned it on. Now I have to take out the battery and hold R while I put the battery in and turn it on. But it works that way and I've done it a couple times now.
