So, my buddy who is kind of an R tard gave me his psp he fucked up with a myriad of firmware flashes that i dont really follow his logic.
Basically I have a 3.02 that refuses to load any games, and i believe its a firmware issue and not a faulty laser.
W/out being able to load my gta i cant downgrade it.
Is there anyway to re apply 3.02 to try to get it to load umd's? or any other avenue i should pursue?
or am i pretty boned here

thanks

My advice is to see if you can upgrade to 3.03 from the memory stick and then when your at 3.03 you can see if it is really the firmware that waas keeping the UMD's to load.

If your UMD's will load at 3.03 then you can go ahead and downgrade with your GTA

yeah thats what ive been tryin to do, problem is once the update for 3.03 loads, it just turns off the psp after the loading splash screen

Has it ever been at a custom firmware? Or modded in any way?

my buddy really is an idiot, it looks like he fucked up a dax install,
i upgraded it to 3.03 oe-c
and then back down to 1.5. so im set now,
i havent been in the psp scene for a couple months,
whats the best hack/exploit to install on 1.5 these days?

Alright, so you've made it back to 1.5 already, am i understanding correctly?

If you are currently at 1.5, i would recommend going up to 3.40 OE-A. Being at the newest custom firmware is the safest thing to do.

K, done and done,
its now got 3.40 oe a on it,
Im having some trouble getting it to load iso's but i figure its something that i can google my way out of.
thanks

Ok maybe not,
iso's that others have reported working on 3.40 oe-a
but everytime i load these from the iso folder on the root dir, i just get a black screen.
this is with every iso ive tried thus far.

Ive tried ratchet and clank, size matters,
syphon filter, Metal gear solid portable ops,
killzone liberation,

with gta lcs umd in there

sweetness, you gotta disable all the umd features, like load boot.php and all that jazz ifns driver (or something like that)

the option that most ppl and sites mention no umd boot was disabled, but that wasnt the problem,

Alright, your probably going to have to edit some settings

first go to recovery mode, if you dont know how to do that you turn off the psp (not standby, hold the power switch for a couple of seconds), then hold down R while its booting

select Configuration
this is how i have mine set up:

Skip SCE logo (currently: Enabled)
Hide corrupt icons (currently: Enabled)
Game folder homebrew (currently: 1.50 kernel)
Autorun program at /PSP/GAME/BOOT/EBOOT.PBP (currently: Disabled)
Use NO-UMD (currently: Disabled)
Fake region (currently: Disabled)
Free UMD Region (currently: Disabled)

Make sure you make yours match mine exactly

Then go back to the main menu and select advanced, then select Advanced configuration

Make sure Plain modules in UMD/ISO is enabled

After you do that, try loading a game

EDIT: Nevermind, I see you got it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
