[RELEASE] Recovery Flasher

[Junya8971]

Very handy app! Great work !! Looking forward to the one you are making now to install 4.01 on semi-brick PSPs. Keep it up!!

[spike021]

I don't know how much work it would take, but I would like to agree on a post from the bottom of page 1 (I think) about a back-up NAND utility. I don't know how possible it is, but I think that would really complete this application (for me at least).

[handyandy]

You're a genius, thank you. This app has saved me an ass load of hassle!

As soon as I solved the last issue on the Slim.
4.01 installation on the Fat is already working flawlessly, on the Slim it gives total brickage....

[zhpenn]

Wow.cool!

[eldadss]

Hm....

Does this work with a 088 mobo?
And is there any risk of bricking?

If not then its awesome!Cause I cant make a Pandora,This would be a great alternative

[Hellcat]

You only need a CFW on your PSP, the MoBo doesn't matter

However, there's ALWAYS a chance of bricking - even if it's slim, like the PSP - when touching the internal flash.

I tried to make it as save as possible, all checks that could result in a failure are done before touching anything, if something goes wrong it aborts and does not touch the flash....
But who knows what ideas the PSP can have to let things go haywire....

Additional "backup NAND" feature would be very nice

So how should I backup my NAND? So that even IF I brick trying this,I can unbrick again.

[omracer]

download NAND Tool.
google it.

[revscott]

Get job Hellcat,
I don't speak up much on the forums but I had to take the time to say thank you.
I have used other apps from you in the past and they all have been top notch keep up the great work, The homebrew community for the PSP is a better place with you here. -Scott

Pandora or despertar del cementerio. both have options to backup/restore the nand

[JaX3RiR]

There's also an Open Source NAND Dumper 3.XX by Cory1492, if you don't have a Pandora.

hellcat, i was wondering if you can make a version that doesn't check if you have a battery because i have many friends that have cfw but don't have battery but like to use this for downgrading when brick. it should be easy to do it

[Hellcat]

@thecobra:
If I don't forget it I will add an option to overide to warning

The list of stuff to add gets longer

oh, i was wondering where it was lol

[bloodlust8]

My friend's psp phat is still on cfw 2.71 can we use this to upgrade it to 3.71? sorry for the noob question, just wanted to make sure. 'coz we don't have pandora battery..

[MiKeY188]

Yes it will work just follow the readme and it should work fine.

[mrgooey]

My friend has a semi-brick 4.01 M33. I put the Recovery folder into the GAME folder. I put the 371.PBP in the same folder. I go to my recovery folder try to run it. However, it just gives me a black screen ? Also, what kernel am I suppose to use ? Thank you

[Hellcat]

Kernel must be 3.xx.

How was the semi brick caused? I'll try to reconstruct your situation....

[joseph10444]

i thought the "Run program at PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP" was broken in later firmwares?

[Hellcat]

No, the function from the recovery menu itself always worked fine.
But on older CFWs all apps were started in 1.50 kernel, on the newer ones (3.60/3.71 and up) they are started in 3.xx kernel.

There have simply no apps been there that were compatible with it.
Now there are

[joseph10444]

ah ic
thanks
so much

i dont know about the 371.PBP
i already have a 390.PBP and dont really want to use another firmware pbp space...

if i semibrick/need to downgrade to 371m33, i can always go to recovery and put the 371.pbp in right when i need to, right?

cause this app is for semibricks/downgrade needs not for full bricks

Of course. You can use the recovery menu's USB function to put everything on the stick once you need it

[M33_User]

Hellcat, I love your homebrew apps. This is really nice. Do you have any more plans for pandora???

[joseph10444]

OMGOSH
when i just checked it out for fun and selected the EXIT
it was like formatting flash0:/...
for like 1 second

i thought i clicked someting wrong

i had that feeling that you were going to die, that drop feeling
then you're like just kidding

RELIEFFFF

[MiKeY188]

yeah the exiting message got me too xD. Sign of relief.

[Hellcat]

O:-D

@M33_User:
Dunno, no ideas so far. But the new DDCv6 shouts for new stuff to make for it

Well, first things first, update of the Flasher, update of the Pandora Installer (to install DDCv6 as well) and I also need to do something for my boss, or he'll be sad *lulz*
