5.50 GEN-D2 PSP-2000 and Backlight

[LegolasFett]

I apologize if this has been asked elsewhere, but I am rather annoyed and confused by this issue I am having.

A month or so ago I went from M33 to GEN in order to play the newer games (this was before the M33 patcher was out). I just noticed recently that when I go from the XMB to a game or vice versa my backlight setting is reset to the lowest setting (without turning off). I then adjust it to where I want it, but once again when I quit the game, it's back to lowest setting.

I asked someone I know to check it on his PSP and it doesn't have the issue, but he is on a 1000. I am wondering if this is a GEN-D issue with PSP-2000's or just with my PSP.

Thanks.

mine works fine i have a 2001 god of war psp

i dont know much about the system im fairly new to it but from what i have read when it comes to problems concerning firmware they pretty much just say reflash but i wouldn't do nething till you get an opinion from someone more experienced also might try to Google the problem thats how i solved a few problems that i had and the great help from admins and other very intelligent people here

I did a few google searches but I didn't find anything pertaining to this issue. Granted I didn't search for a long time. My PSP is the same as yours and I tried resetting/formatting Flash1 and still nothing. I appreciate the help and I hope someone else gets back to me.

LegolasFett, the first thing you should try is reflashing the current PSP firmware. Check this guide out. Section "For CFW PSP users to update to 5.50 GEN-D2 (NEW METHOD)". If the problem presists, I will supply you with an alternate solution.

I followed the steps you linked to as well as updated to D2. The problem is still there. I am rather confused as to why this is occurring, but thank you for assisting me in this. Let me know what the alternate solution is. Thank you.

oh, and the backlight was retarded on gen-C for me, it always switched brightnesses when you switched between xmb and a game, rather annoying when i wanted it at lowest setting... thats fixed for me in -D

if you were on C and it started you might want to try to go back to b2 or b and then go to d i i tried to use c but i bricked so i reflashed to b2 then d when it came out and so on but as i said before i am not that experienced and you should get a second opinion

The thing is I went from 5.00 M33-6 to 5.50 GEN-D then GEN-D2 so I am unsure how that'll help me.

try and downgrade to 5.00 m33 using hellcats recovery flasher then upgrade to 5.50 gen-a then -b then -b2 then -D then -D2 and then hopefully it will have stoped.... im not sure wether this will work or not but give it a try

LegolasFett, downgrade to 5.00 M33-6 using the same guide. Tell me if the problem still persists. Don't upgrade yet. Just downgrade to 5.00 M33.
