Hacking Accidentally installed 6.60 PRO-B10

[Azure42893]

So I installed PRO-B10 not realizing I needed PRO-C for online play. Thing is, I ran CIPLflasher already, so I can't run any homebrew (that's its side effect, right?). How do I get rid of CIPLflasher?

 

[xist]

No it's not a side effect - all the cIPL does is modify the boot loader to start a modified firmware.

All you need to do is uninstall the cIPL by running the installer again, then run the B10 installer to remove that then update to C from the 6.60 OFW you'll end up on.

CIPL shouldn't stop you from running homebrew, you may just need a reboot for the CFW to start back up... but yeah, do what xist said.

 

[Azure42893]

When I try to run the CIPL flasher again, I get "kpspsident.prx loaded failed".

On a side note, why is it that I can't run homebrew? Is it because I'm using PRO?

 

[Rydian]

PRO has homebrew support. It sounds like you did a step wrong or something.

Go to the system properties screen and tell us what it says your version is and all that jazz.

I think you actually didn't install CIPL becouse I got same error and it means you have too new model for using it. You have to use Fast Recovery every time to start CFW or downgrade to 6.20 which has working permanent patch.
When you have CFW up and running it should show it's version at version option and usually hides MAC address. Look version, if it's official then run Fast Recovery and check again. If it's now CFW then there's no CIPL installed.

 

[Azure42893]

Well, my firmware is shown to be 6.60 PRO-B10, even if I turn it off and then turn it on again. Nickname's there, and my MAC address is hidden. (It shows [Model: 02g] instead?)

2g model is the psp2000.i use a 1g and a 3g,but 1g is not yet supported by pro-online.i never had to even use my cplf on any of the psp's since my psp's can be modded without fail.did you just try and run the update only and not the cplf?

What do you mean? When exactly?
I followed the instructions on Prometheus's site. Updated to 6.60, downloaded their PRO fix (I assumed what I needed for online play was in the Downloads section already, but at that time I didn't realize I needed PRO-C rather than B, so I ended up downloading PRO-B10), ran the PRO update then the flasher, deleting each one from my psp after they finished.

A few posts up, I tried running the flasher again to try to get rid of it, but it won't work. The PRO update just goes to a black screen.

So did you run the updater or the cIPL flasher again... Your words are confusing >.

 

[Mario92]

Just one more question: Did you fully shut down PSP or just hibrenated it? It fully shuts down only if you press and hold power button for awhile. That would explain why it shows it's on PRO-B even if CIPL didn't work and I still believe it actually never installed and also homebrew/images not working.
Installing CFW nowdays shouldn't be this hard if you can read.

Turns out you have 2g model which is same as I have and I can't use 6.60 CIPL flasher. I suggest you just uninstall PRO-B (download and PRO-B files again, run installer and press triangle), downgrade to 6.20 and then install PRO-C and permapatch which 100% works. You can find quide to do these from sticky: http://gbatemp.net/topic/293978-how-to-softmod-hack-your-psp/

So I ran PRO updater to get my PSP to 6.60 PRO-B10, then ran CIPL flasher to make that permanent. I've ran both since then, trying to get rid of CIPL so that I can revert to OFW to update to PRO-C, but neither work.

Yeah, fully shut down. I know it shouldn't be that hard, but I'm more used to CFW from pre-6.XX firmware and this feels completely different...

So I guess basically I'm trying to get back to 6.60 OFW. I figured I could run the PRO-C updater if I do that.

 

[Rydian]

What error do you get running he PROupdater?

 

[Azure42893]

What error do you get running he PROupdater?

I don't get anything. I just get a black screen, forcing me to shut down completely.

 

[Rydian]

Show us everything in the /seplugins/ folder on your memory stick?

 

[Azure42893]

[Rydian]

Yeah there's a lot of older 5.x crap that could be messing with things, rename /seplugins/ to something else (like /seplugins_old/), then restart the PSP and try stuff again.

 

[Janthran]

PRO-B can't play online?

 

[Rydian]

PRO-B can play online.

What people are talking about is PRO-C's additional ability to made ad-hoc-only games play over the internet.

Oh hey, I was able to get the CIPL flasher running so I could remove CIPL. Thanks so much!


Well, since I'm here, quick, clarifying question. I need to run the FastRecovery thing to switch from OFW to CFW every time, correct (w/o CIPL flasher)?
