How many of yall when trying to do things that involved Flashing..Using 3.02OE-B or 3.03OE-A with the Recovery mode have bricked your psp or have bricked your psp but recovered it using the recovery mode provided by the Guru of PSP Dark_Alex.

**VeNom_** · 01-05-2007, 08:05 AM

I bricked but recovered quite painlessly.

**Djzleite** · 01-05-2007, 08:26 AM

Yesterday used Calo pack to recover from 302 OE-B to 1.5 and then aplied Chewy954 easy installer 303 OE-A for 1.5 all went fine.
Then used Chewy954 easy installer for 302 OE-B on 4 PSP´s and also went all fine.
My first was also on 302 OE-B but had installed devhook 52 on it so i decided not to take risks and recover it first to go up to 303 OE-A.
All went the tits and using the 32mg stick wich i couldn´t if i was using the manual instalation to create my self the dxar file.
Yeah, all the tits indeed

thanks Chewy954 and thanks Calo and specialy Dark Alex for such amazing work. Thanks Sony for creating such nice firmware with PSX emulator, yeah

Tomorow i´ll do 3 more and get my 90 Euros, i need money.

so why should you make money out of it? I was very very happy to read you Bricked your PSP you total noob

**gamer13** · 01-05-2007, 01:01 PM

2 people bricked? Unlucky...
I recovered.. Hehe.. First time for everything.. I will try to find a easy downgrader.. I am too incompetent to follow a few simple steps..

**--GT--** · 01-05-2007, 01:24 PM

well i guess this thread did come in handy cause i wanted to kno if people were successful or not cause theres a few things i wanted to do that involved flashing well guess i can sit here and still see what people say

**Renpatsu** · 01-05-2007, 02:15 PM

There really should be the option for having never bricked here =\

**--GT--** · 01-05-2007, 02:19 PM

not really i dont wanna kno about people who didnt brick i wanna kno the stories of people who bricked and were successful in recovering or couldnt recover

**GiSW21** · 01-05-2007, 02:27 PM

Seroiously, I am willing to bet money that the 3 people that bricked and couldn't recover are either:
(A) Lying
or
(B) Completely deleted Flash0 & Flash1

thats what i said

**WPSP** · 01-05-2007, 05:21 PM

I have recovered but afraid of updating again!ill wait maybe for 3.03 OE-B or C

**albertbertal8** · 01-05-2007, 05:48 PM

Yeah, I semi-bricked when I ran out of flash space while flashing a coldboot, I easily recovered by putting PSP filer into the recovery folder or whatever.

**--GT--** · 01-06-2007, 01:41 AM

CMON i kno there some more people out there that flashes i wanna kno what the dealio is on this LOL

LUKIDD · 01-06-2007, 02:05 AM

Recoverd

**gracz54** · 01-06-2007, 02:15 AM

Recovered with no problems.

myers112 · 01-06-2007, 08:40 AM

I can't believe so many people are bricking ! Its not rocket science to manually update from 3.02 OE-A/B to 3.03 OE-A

**BruceLee** · 01-06-2007, 09:05 AM

I recovered successfully. Custom firmware is worth it for the recovery menu alone.

**iball®** · 01-06-2007, 09:09 AM

Only morons who can't READ wind up with bricks.

**maly00** · 01-06-2007, 09:35 AM

OMG what is so hard to follow few steps? I have never used easy installers or anything like that, i prefer to do it myself. NEVER BRICKED PSP (and hope not to brick it :P)

DID I SAY UPDATE i said whos running 3.02OE or 3.03OE

**Spirit Hawk Leon** · 01-06-2007, 01:46 PM

I was hella scared, but then i recovered.

**rai1790** · 01-06-2007, 02:10 PM

I bricked couldn't use the recovery boot instead used the auto boot feature to recover. Recovery said I need to charge my battery 75% but it was already full.

**dude_se** · 01-06-2007, 02:14 PM

ive bricked many times. only from 2.71 se + ... recovery modes always worked fine

**The_Kills** · 01-06-2007, 02:14 PM

...Only a idiot would brick a PSP, who cant follow intructions or has ADD or something

Uhhhhhhh................

People with custom firmware would brick less because they have recovery mode. And if you're basing that on people who brick while installing, prove to me that someone has actually done that (without doing something like taking out the power cord etc) D_As custom firmwares pwn

.

(Most people who vote that they brick have not actually bricked)
