Gaming Semi-Bricked PSP?

[flamex122]

I think I probably bricked my PSP. Its stuck at a the set up time and date...
I read its possible to fix by going into restore mode which I've done but it seems a need a UMD and I have none... help?
Is there any ways of fixing it?

EDIT: Can't scroll through nandtool to Format lflash with nandtool, format flash1, reinstall firmware.

Tried holding 'R' while booting?
What was you flashing before it got stuck at the time and date?

Also, I've never heard of a semi-brick like this before

Edit: Maybe it's a XMB plugin that's corrupted thus not letting you get pass the time and date setting but if it was a plugin, it would crash at the Sony logo at boot.

I was modding the PSP to 5.50 GEN D3 it finished installing i clicked the wrong button n it turned off and when i turned it back on its at the settings of time and date but i cant even scroll thru it or confirm it. :S
I held R went into the recovery part I read the recovery stuff and did it but when i click run program program at... it says the game could not be started... im guessing i need a umd? i dont have one

Is there another way?

You don't need a UMD.
Get XGEN 5.50 D3 eboot, place it in PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/ then place 550.PBP on the root.
Try and start it, if it starts, install 5.50 GEN D3 again. If not, downgrade to 5.00 M33 with hellcats recovery flasher.
