Cool. I was running the OFW 6.35 update, plugged into the charger, and it bricked while updating.

It got to 10 percent and it just died. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FULLY CHARGED.


I have been on the PSP scene for a long time, and I am sure there is no way to save it. However, if there is any miracle cure you guys know of give it to me.

I got nothing to lose, since my PSP is already dead.

Yet another reason why the fully hackable ones are better.

If it wasn't hacked before, call up Sony. If it's on warranty they can fix it for free/cheap.

I hope so. My GameStop I got it from also had a 1 year warranty, but I don't know what the condition/colour of the replacement would be...

I will call Sony, and see how it goes.

I figured there is no miracle cure. a brick is a brick lol.

Nope. TN was not activated, ran the updater from OFW.

I really don't know what happened.

Downgrader? I thought you were going up! Anyway, it's worth a shot even though 5ony might be suspicious about why you were upgrading to (or downgrading from) 6.35.

BTW- ask Rydian for advice -- he knows alot about the psp

Turn it on whole holding SELECT+START+SQUARE+TRIANGLE (I think that's the combination) to tell it to reset the settings, and hope it was just a settings issue and not the firmware itself.

Tried it... no luck. It is definitely a FW brick, by the looks of it. What a crock of shit.

If you've used a previous temporary firmware you'll be lucky to get this resolved successfully. Possibly if you'd done that flash1 flush before the update that may have helped, although of course now, as you've seen, it's pointless.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
