Guides \ Fix your semi-bricked PSP on OE firmware

1. Download and extract the recovery files here [ http://homepage.mac.com/kevinmacleod/psp/303oe/recovery/recovery.zip ].

2. Hold down the right trigger on the PSP and turn it on (while holding the trigger).

3. You should see a blue screen come up, Dont panic!, this is called 'Recovery Mode', A feature on custom firmwares.

4. Click on the first option (toggle USB), This will turn USB mode on so you can connect to your computer.

5. Go to your memory stick removable drive (E.g, F:/, E:/) Whatever letter yours is.

6. When inside, copy the folder 'recovery' to "PSP/GAME" part of the memory stick (The one we downloaded in step 1)

7. Now download 1.5 EBOOT which can be found here [http://dl.qj.net/dl.php?fid=163 ].

8. Extract the downloaded folder and copy the EBOOT inside.

9. Now, Find the folder we put in the 'PSP/GAME' part of the memory stick that was named 'RECOVERY'

10. Now put the downloaded 1.5 EBOOT (refer to step 7) in the 'RECOVERY' folder.

11. Now turn your PSP off, Then turn it back on again whilst holding the right trigger down.

12. You will now see what we did in step 3. Go to the option "/PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP" and click on it.

13. Now what you do to your PSP now is YOUR responsibility. There is a slight chance of bricking.

14. It will say do you want to flash your PSP. Click X to begin or R trigger to back out.

15. When its flashing [b]DO NOT[/b] turn your PSP off. if it takes long, leave it.

16. You should have sucessfully recovered your PSP. Now, enjoy =)

HOW TO FIX UR PSP

read the comment below first.
5. ok now once u downloaded the EBOOT which should be like 15 mb.
a folder should come up and inside the folder their should be the EBOOT. change the name of the EBOOT to UPDATE.PBP

6. ok now go back to the RECOVERY folder and go inside it this time.. it should have four files inside. each only a few kb. ok dont mess with any of those four files.

7. now copy the UPDATE.PBP and paste it with the four files. so its in the same folder as them.

8. you should be all done now. ok now go back to ur PSP while its on recovery mode and click on like the third thing which should say soemthing like "/PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP ok now if u have done every thing correctly some words come up and it should say do u want to flash ur psp. the answer is yes u should. its the only way for it to be fixed. and just wait for a bit while it processes. and u should be set

10. ok when its all fixed i think it gets degraded to like 1.5
and it becomes unhacked/unmodded. but its better than being bricked.
:)

mail me if its not working from thier!!

1. Download and extract the recovery files here [ homepage.mac.com/ ]

(to extract u need to have winrar which is free so go to google if u dont have it and search for winrar and download it)

2. ok now turn ur psp on and hold the R button. until a blue screen pops up it should say recovery mode if u see this then that means ur in luck and ur psp is only semi bricked. ok now click on (toggle usb) and at the bottom it should say "usb enabled" ok now access the PSP through ur computer click on the PSP folder.
once ur in their go into the game folder.

3. ok now remember the recovery files u downloaded b4. well now if its allready extracted then click on the folder which should say "recovery" in lower case letters. once in ur in the folder u should see another folder with the name "RECOVERY" in uppercase letters. copy the RECOVERY folder and paste it into the "game folder in ur PSP.

4.Now download 1.5 EBOOT which can be found here dl.qj.net/ ].

And if you fully brick it then send it back to Sony and tell them it just stopped working one day.

remember guys you can only do this when it is semi-bricked not fully bricked. if it doesn't go into the recovery mode and you have a oe firmware then you have fully bricked it
