....still have to test'n'try it with the 1.50 kernel addon installed....


Howevery, RF v1.50 is making quite good progress, it's going to be a large update this time
Here's a small teaser of what's already (and hopefully bugfree, testing must show) in:
- install of 3.80-M33 and 3.90-M33 - NAND dump and write back - DDC ressurection.prx replacement with the ability to launch the original DDC menu (so, not loosing DDC while using RF as replacement) - battery patch option (to Pandora and Normal) - install of any supported FW as original, official one (not as CFW)

A few more things will be added for the final version (like 1.50 installation and a few smaller things and fixups)

Why? Is the old one no longer running?

Or are talking 'bout it installing 5.00-M33-4? 'cause THAT is already done for the next release

[RocSqualie]

It works fine. Just did a complete format and flash myself under M33-4 a few minutes ago out of boredom.

And here we go again

*** UPDATE *** UPDATE *** UPDATE ***

It's been quite some time since the last updates, and even those were rather smaller ones, but here we go for a bigger one again
Recovery Flasher 1.50, now out in the wild

• Updated 5.00-M33 installation to revision 4
• Introduced "Advanced Mode" of operations - potentially dangerous functions (some of the new ones might be) are usually completely hidden and are only available when "Advanced Mode" is triggered. Those functions are meant for the more experienced users that know what they are doing quite well....
• Added support for installing 3.80-M33 and 3.90-M33
• Added support for installing a fresh 1.50 OFW on classic PSPs (a.k.a. Fat PSP) without having made a backup of a running 1.50 first. (Actually it first creates a new "backup" set containing a fresh 1.50 OFW that you can then use to install/restore it to your PSP)
• Changed the menu a bit. Due to the ammount of FW versions now supported there's no longer one item for each FW but one menu option for selecting the desired version and one to engage the installation.
• Added: Creation of NAND-Dump (fully compatible to DDC dumps)
• Added: [Advamced Mode] Writing back of NAND images. Complete dump, IPL only or LFlash only
• Added: [Advanced Mode] Installing selected firmware version as ORIGINAL firmware
• Added: ressurection.prx replacement - with that you can run Recovery Flasher directly instead of of the original DDC menu when booting up a DDC magic stick. WORKS ONLY FOR DDCv7!!!
• When running either as DDC main menu replacement (ressurection.prx) OR launched from a DDC booted FW (from memstick) you have the option to either boot up / exit to the XMB or to jump into the original DDC menu. So when using the ressurection.prx replacement you are still able to use the DDC features.
• Fixed: App-Launcher display mess up when more additional apps/games were available than fitted on screen

First post has been updated, incl. new d/l link

[DJB]

Download link doesnt seem to work

[Hellcat]

Whooops.... O_O

*fixed*
should work now

[DJB]

Thanks mate

Link works fine now, I'll test your app out later on tonight and see how it goes.

[LeDutchMan]

Added: ressurection.prx replacement - with that you can run Recovery Flasher directly instead of of the original DDC menu when booting up a DDC magic stick. WORKS ONLY FOR DDCv7!!!

When you use the ressurection.prx will it work on PSP's with original firmwares?

[Vonsta]

thanks Hellcat.. im already a user of the app, but updates are always welcomed

[SchmilK]

Great idea to merge the recovery flasher and pandora maker!!

This is definitely a great save your ass application!!

[Outcast]

Great app! By the way, can anyone enlighten me on the FW1.50 folder?

[CKNICK]

Its for the 1.50 users who want unbrick/update their systems because the normal recovery flasher won't work on 1.5

[RocSqualie]

Just found out that my favorite utility has been updated

Thanks Hellcat!

[cheewongken]

yay!

update!

[p0p0]

Omg, you rock bud! I needed this!

[Edge1337]

Very nice job Hellcat! Helped me right out my Semi-Bricked Slim. I look forward to future installments.

[mootjeuh]

Best Homebrew Ever ! I'm Totally Gonna Be Needing This.

[YOuros]

You're making 1.51 with 5.02GEN-A install option, HellCat?

Disable the game plugins. I got that exact same error a few hours ago while going back from 5.02 GEN-A to 5.00 M33-4.

It's a stock 1.5 psp, there are no such things as plugins.
