[OFFICIAL] 3.40 OE-A and 3.03 OE-C Installation Guide, FAQ, and Support Thread

[deadlyvirus]

Why under system setting and info it is in japanese? Sometimes it will say "3.02 OE-A" But other times it says japanese stuff. Help?

[|-Anubis-|]

the OC mod or some module is causing this change.

Disable them to get rid of the Japanese text.

[Spazy]

i just whant to say that this firmware rocks. thanks Dark AleX. i seriously love you man

[--GT--]

hey that thing that fixes the corrupt icons it says for 2.71SE is it still safe to use on 3.02OE-B

[GLiTcH]

woot

I got the blue screen that says my flash1 is corrupted. What do I do?

Don't panic. Just press 'circle', and verify that the information is correct, and you shouldn't see the screen again.

i didnt get that

[Oyez]

Took forever to pack the 3.02 eboot.
Just managed to get the Data.dxar.

Thanks for the guide guys.

Edit: All installed, no problems and run's smooth.
Thanks DaX, glad to see you didn't leave after all.

Ok I understand the tutorial in post 1, but I keep getting stuck at one part. It says to rename the "EBOOT_1.50" to "150.PBP", and I have. But when I run the OE updater (the white text one) it says opening and checking 150.PBP, but then it says "cannot find file" and quits out. Also the 1.50 eboot file you download from QJnet (the link in the tutorial also) are both simply called EBOOT_1.50 and aren't actually noted as a PBP file. Could this be the problem? Thats all I can think of...

Just to verify I have put the needed files in the oeupdmaker which are: "150.PBP" "302.PBP" and it has a "EBOOT.PBP" it came with.

:Argh: Another n00b!!!

You may not have file extensions turned on.

hi i've just downgraded my psp 2.71 TA-082 to a 1.5 using Dark Alex downgrader and it worked great . Now my question is this can i upgrade to this firmware? Or since it is a TA-082 it's going to brick?

Thanks

[Armageddon Potato]

Actually I have no idea what I'm doing aside from reading the FAQ, how would I turn on file extensions? And how would I know I needed to... or is it that obivous I need to =D ? I guess Ill try them with the names 150 and 302.

It's possible. In fact it won't brick your PSP as the program you run before the generic downgrader somehow makes the PSP think it does not have a TA-082 motherboard.

Jose17 you can upgrade to OE-A and then to OE-B with a TA-082.

I have done it and I know it works.

[Armageddon Potato]

Ok I somehow still got the DATA.DXAR file despite the "cannot open file problem", and it didn't take 3 or so minutes to get it like the manual says, it took about 30 seconds. I tried renaming the files everything that would seemingly work but I guess I'm either stuck or the manual was a bit off when it said it would take about 3 mins. Should I go ahead with my DATA.DXAR file or is it incomplete... I don't wanna brick my psp or something. If it's not right could you please pinpoint me WHERE in the manual I'm misreading.

[WraithLeader]

Ok. I'm doing the leap of faith and upgrading my 1.5 to OE-A and then to OE-B. I'm a little confused still. For the first upgrade I need a ISO folder, GAME folder and a GAME320 folder right? Once I'm at OE-A, I put the update in GAME and launch it. Is there any new file structure that is required like a GAME150 folder?

I don't know how you had it to prepare the DXAR file in 30 seconds, but since I noticed it took someting (well, after a while I quit...) about 25 minutes on mine; I think it depends on the MS you have: For doing the 1.50 subset it was fine in few seconds, but for the 3.02 flashing thing, with my 512MB it took, or was attempting to take, some 25 minutes, while with my 2GB one, it actually took some 3 minutes. Ah, and they were both SONY ones...
Anyway, as soon as I was done with it, it flashed within few seconds (well, maybe 1 minute or so?)

Not of some use, but just my 2c for it...

Cheers,
A.

Ok I think i'm going to give it a try then and hopefully i won't have a bricked psp at the end of it thanks

Is there a faster way to remove all corrupt icons besides the eboot fixer app (after disable corrupt icons is enabled)?

Edit: nvm I found one

[Kos]

how do i get gta lcs working with this fw without devhook?

[Airiran]

The QJ download link for the 3.02 jp firmware keeps timing out for me. Is there another place I can find the file?

i meant how do i get GTA LCS cheatdevice working on this fw. comes up as corrupt

[Squibbler]

From the PRX Compatibility guide:-

'LCSCheatdevice- Works, but freezes XMB. Disable in VSH mode to fix.
Description: Allows the use of user-made cheats and offers the ability for a greater variety of cheats then what CWCheat offers.'

[cballlv1]

Hey.. When I run the oe-b update I get error msg "The game could not be started (80020148)... what gives? Any help?

[Kos]

From the PRX Compatibility guide:-

'LCSCheatdevice- Works, but freezes XMB. Disable in VSH mode to fix.

it keeps saying the savefile is corrupt

i re downloaded it and it keeps saing it

=S

has anyone got the LCScheatdevice working?

[Armageddon Potato]

Figured out my problem was a partially corrupted 1.5eboot file. Somehow it got corrupted from the dl to the folder I put it in between the tutorial.

Also people might find this tutorial more direct/simple, plus it has pictures and who doesn't love those :ROFL: : http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=58517

All in all it worked great. :Punk:

Download the LCS cheatdevice prx from this site: http://www.cheatdevice.com/gta/CheatDevice10dUS.zip or http://www.cheatdevice.com/gta/CheatDevice10dUK.zip (depending on where you got the UMD from).

Put it into the "seplugins" (minus quotes) folder then create a New Text Document called game (or game.txt if you have hidden file extensions off) in the same folder. Open the file and add the following line to the file (minus quotes): ms0:/seplugins/lcscheatdevice.prx (if I am correct) and save the file.

Now activate it in recovery mode (hopefully you know how to get to recovery mode) by selecting Plugins>LCS cheatdevice prx to Enable then reboot. Hopefully when you get to the XMB and you run LCS, the cheat prx will load up and show a menu.

NB. If you have a patched version of GTA LCS (which you haven't I'm guessing) which has the 2.60 update, this won't work.

Or else try disabling the cheatdevice: maybe that will work (hopefully).
