help!!! when i start dev hook and dhfwinstaller 3.01 it says "the file is corrupted" what should i do...and i didnt download the 3.02 update eboot.pbp because i have 3.02 fw already installed

@alfheim no iso talk srry
@qjrabby srry devhook wont work cause your firmware is too high you get no homebrew srry dude

Hi guys, i'm new to all of this. I think i got most of it down, been reading a lot. I followed this guide and have done it quite a few times however, when i try to run the installer, it goes to the white psp screen and after about 10 secs it turns off. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. I installed the 2.71 SE-C firmware from 1.5. Could that have been the problem?

Help, I did everything according to this great guide below (3.01 version)

Installation

1. Connect your PSP to your computer using a USB cable.
2. Copy the 3.01/3.02 Eboot to the root of your memory stick. Make sure it is named EBOOT.PBP (If you used the QJ one from this guide it needs to be re-named.)
3. Open DH0510000.rar, double click DH0510000, double click MS_ROOT. Extract all of the files to the root of your memory stick. When prompted, click "Yes to all". Note: If you have custom firmware, and you 1.50 kernel homebrew folder is GAME150, you'll have to move the devhook launcher from the GAME folder to the GAME150 folder.
4. If you're installing 3.02, open DH0510000-302_screen.rar. Open the folder DH0510000, open the folder MS_ROOT. Extract the contents to the root of your memory stick, saying yes to overwrite files.
5. Open the 301_DH-FW-INSTALLER.rar/DH FW 302 Installer .rar file. Open the 301_DH-FW-INSTALLER folder (3.01 installer only)
6. Copy the contents to X:\PSP\GAME (or the GAME150 folder if you have a custom firmware configured like that, read the CF readme for details
7. Exit USB mode. Navigate to the Game tab, and launch "3.01 DH FW Installer"/"3.02 DH FW Installer"
8. Press 'X' when prompted. Your PSP will restart when it's done.
9. Navigate to the Game tab, launch "DEVHOOK0.51 launcher BETA"
10. Scroll to Firmware, press 'O', and ensure that 3.01/3.02 is selected, and press 'O'.

then I load a game, this screen comes up:
Vshex Devhook Setting menu
UMD Image Emulation
CPU Clock Default
UMD SFO ver default
Preload addr 8920000
Firmware not supported
remote port not supported
escape the devhook
close menu

When I close menu I do see a gamescene and have sound (in this case the game is 50 cent bulletproof G unit edition, I now press 0, and I go back to a PSP Playstation Portable screen and after 10 seconds it shuts down.
What am I doing wrong? I have tried other games, nothing, sometimes it freezes on reboot, sometimes I get a gamescene and when I then try to start the game it keeps loading, but never did I get any game to work.
Please help....

Hi All,

As you can see I am a newbie, I have a 1.50 and have used method one to install.
where do I put the files I copy to the memory card so I can run them?

Do I need to have the demo umd disc in to use

Hope you all can help

Okay, so I just got my PSP and a few 2Gb memory sticks.

The FW is 2.71 (how do you see if íts a SE-A,B or C?) and the motherboard is a TA-082 (ICI1003 found looking inside the UMD drive).

Now, what shall/can I do in order to play homebrews/games? I have done everything according to the "Devhook .51 Setup Guide, FAQ, and Help Thread EASY INSTALLER" but when running 3.01 DH FW Installer I get the well known error: This game cannot... / The data is corrupted.

What is wrong? Please help me! :Argh:

Excuse me if this question has already been answered...

How do I exit a UMD game from firmware 3.01? I've hit the home button and pressed exit and that turns the PSP off. (From Megaman Maverick Hunter X on UMD).

EDIT: Sorry, I have another question. Is the wireless glitchy or did I install the devhook firmware incorrectly?

PS: Hardrive, your tutorial totally rocks!

For some people, it exits correctly

For others it doesn't. I don't think there is an answer why.

I got 3.02 to load and i have sound but my games wont load the screen just goes black when i pick the umd, and then the psp turns off.

-= Double Post =-
anybody?

yay! thanks for this guide... emulating 3.01 on 1.50!!!

thank you to everyone who has made it possible for me to
a) downgrade my PSP from 2.80
b) emulate higher firmwares so there's no reason to ever update again!

psp homebrew community, you rock

Hi, I installed DevHook and it's all working ok - I changed the clock speed to get the wifi working. There's one problem though; I don't have any access points set up and when I attempt to enter my WEP id the app crashes when it should go to the character input screen. Anyone know why this might be?
Thanks in advance ;)

Hi Guys,

Looking for some help, been away from the psp for a while, but now back, I have a 1.5 fw on the system and runs fine been using devhook 45 (I think) for running tomb raider etc. with firmware emulation of 2.7 which worked everytime :p

I would like to play Brothers in Arms, I've downloaded nearly every file to do with devhook 5 and 5.1 have a php file for 3.01 fw have 2.8 & 3.0 which came I think from within devhook installation folder dh.

Every time I run Devhook 5 or custom versions of same, the machine just shuts down after a while. Tried xmb and dvhook menu as reboot option, only manage to reboot once into devhook menu tried the game but froze after saving profile.

I have download a file called 3.02 OE-A Easy Installer For 1.5 Users, but it wants to upgrade the firmware to run. If it does this, can I go back to 1.5fw ?

I'd rather not upgrade the psp fw unless I really have to can brothers in arms actually run on 1.5 without this upgrade? what are the files needed and what order do they need to be installed.

There is so much info on the forums I'm getting confused as to which files do what. Any help greatfully received.

Thanks guys:Jump:

Paul

Well, hey guys, i'm not at all noob to the PSP scence but this confuses the hell out of me. I still get the Firmware: not supported error when I try loading 3.02

It's not happening. I did everything it says at the top, but I'm missing something 3.02 related.. I have the 3.02 updated on the root of my memory stick, it says it'll extract it all for me, and it's not. It's not the jp eboot that you guys, somehow added in INSTEAD of the U.S one, but ok..

I installed the 3.02 FW install and it's still circling me around by pressing "O" to install FW and to close Dev Hook. I have no clue what went wrong..

Devhook runs on 1.5 just as well as custom firmware. Custom firmwares offer additional functionality but are not required to run devhook to play your firmware required games..

Thanks NeilR for the reply which version of Devhook do I need 5.0 or 5.01 to run band of brothers keeping the original firmware 1.5 or does it not matter.

The dh folder has different firmware directories ie 2.71 / 2.8 / 3.01 do I need to run an eboot extraction for each firmware or are the files in these directorys read to boot the firmware selected.

If no extraction needed why does it hang on reboot? no matter which firmware I use? I have a disc in the machine and have tried boots from XBM Devhook menu and Umd nothing allows it to reboot, so where am I going wrong?

Many thanks
Paul

I cant get it to work when i ope the installer it says the eboot isn't there

can ne1 tell me which folders i will be able to delete after installing DevHook .51?? can i delete the 3.02FWINSTALLER?? (btw installed FW 3.02)

thanks guys after about a week of trying to figure thing out with other tuts i registerd here read the tuts and now finally running 3.01 on my dowgraded 2.00 thanks alot super tut and easy to use cheers again :Punk:

Ok. Well I was tired of always have to use circle instead of x and x instead of circle. I go around looking if I can change this and I was in luck because I found out that you could from this thread. So I go ahead and download the file, overwrite the 2 files in Registry with the 2 new files, click yes to all, and I think I'm good to go. So by accident, instead of copying and pasting the 2 new files and overwriting them, I moved them instead of copying and pasting so the old files disappeared. I think this is a simple mistake until I start up the devhook menu, click start, but now it says "failed to start devhook" I'm thinking this is obviously becuase of the 2 files becuase this started happening right after I transfered those files. So I get an idea of just bringing back the old Registry files and then trying to do the process again. So I download the D5100000 file or whatever again, but the old registry files are gone. I download it again and they're still gone!! So I guess they disappeared for good! Now I can't bring em back and devhook doesn't start anymore. Do I have to wait for official release to use the new devhook again!!!! Please if anyone has another alternative please tell me!!!!! Im screwed:Argh:
-= Double Post =-
And by the way I'm trying to use 3.01 (have 1.5 right now) and I checked a hundred times if I got the Registry files from the 3.01 folder

Whenever I try to run the DH .51 with firmware 3.01 it just brings me back to 1.50

I've thought of another idea. I can just install 3.02 and all my worries will be gone. Just one question though. Can I have both the 3.01 AND 3.02 files installed to my PSP at the same time. Or do I have to delete the 3.01 files first then install 3.02? Thanks for any help. :)

Hi, I have just installed the devhook and it was working fine thx to my friend but i press a wrong button which was retore to default settings when i am using FW 3.01. Now when i use FW3.01 I am brought to the blue screen telling me to press O so it would go bak to normal but it wont work at all and everytime i press O it would just bring me back to the same page:Cry: . Can anyone advise me on wat to do?

Thx to the people who help me.

When I try to launch it says "Failed to create report file
Stick may be full(its not) or can't create out folder"

sorry to be a noob but I have firmware 2.71 not SE. how can i update to 2.71 SE if dont have any dh versions installed? i know i need SE to get dh .51

So can anyone help me with my dilemma. Downloaded devhook and after I hit start devhook, the white text comes up, it says its rebooting, then the screen goes black and my psp shuts off. WTH is going on?

there have been loads of people with this problem but as yet no-one has come up with a sure fire answer to explain or fix it.

I'm in the same situation:down: (did everything exactly to the guide)

Well at least I know im not the only one in the boat.

This sucks though because I can't run devhook and I can't update to 3.02 oe-a without bricking.(bricked twice so far).

Im debating whether to test lady luck again and try and upgrade or just go legit.

I get this too.:(

did you guys have problesm with 3.02 oe-a also?

yea that keeps happening to me, everything checks out fine until the last step of the 'easy' guide, step 11. everything does not go well. the PSP screen turns black with some white writing in the upper-left corner and says it will reboot, it turns off and nothing happens. When turned back on, nothing is changed, devhook hasn't loaded and the firmware is still at 1.5

it seems to be a problem the homebrew comunity isn't realy embracing.

Its most likely a very fixable problem that no one ever bothers to post about......

Anyway, I just emulated 3.02 using Devhook .5101 on a 3.02 OE-B

I used this firmware installer

http://forums.qj.net/1235289-post1.html

Everything works fine. No black screen. Just choose 3.02 from the Devhook menu and everything worked.

So I should delete everything and start over again. This time instead of using
"302FWINSTALLER" use the file you just gave me?

Will this work with a 2.71 SE-B"?

Might as well. It isn't working now.

Not sure if it will work with 2.71. Probably will though. You should really try to figure out what causes the "brick" when you upgrade to OE-A/B (thats your problem right?)

Yeah that's my main problem, so far no answers though. I'm probably going to attempt the update one more time tomorrow and see how that goes, hopefully Ill be able to recover if the mistake happens again?

Quick question, am I ****ing up my psp by doing all this upgrading and downgrading and recovering?

unless you literally do it like 100,000 times

I'm serious.

well cheers Jebus, your file works. the one recommended by the tutorial doesn't work, or else only works with some people? anyway thanks.
