is there a way to unbrick a psp?
Sorry but no bro, take out the memory stick and game and send back to Sony :(.
P.S Wrong forum.
i could unbrick it but id have to pay to get a new motherboard or try and reset my firmware but without been able to use the usb cable i cant do it that way!!!
you can throw frisbee with it. build a psp house if you have cement
Or sticky tape. I've got about 248 bricks which is gonna be kool, I love stuffing up the font hack!
it was X-flash that bricked my psp!! i was just changing fonts!!!
!!!
yes, yes you can. but i doubt you could, or 90% of people could, its very hard.
he doesnt actually know if it has been bricked yet all we know is:-
-He altered his font
-(did it stupidly)
-used xflash
-works up until sony computer entertainment
Did that help anyone
That is impossible since the fonts are stored in flash1 which can easily be restored. You must have changed something else too.Zitat:

btw. What happpens when you try to start your psp?
wtf rob its djvu 4 sum reason im logged in az u so im signin out sorry lol
When a PSP is bricked, the flashcode is corruped on one way or another.
But if you feed the flash with a whole new firmware, won't it work then?
Or is it another sort of code in the flash as well?
Then I don't appreciate you bad mouthing my program if you have created an invalid font of your own, and didn't test it with a firmware launcher.Zitat:
-He altered his font
-(did it stupidly)
The correct phrase would be:
"I bricked my PSP using X-Flash".
If you used X-Flash to apply a non working font it is very much bricked sorry to say.
Art.
(the real XtraLarge) wot i did was i was changing my font but added a font that was six times as big as the normal fonta thinking it just was a bit bigger than normal.
then loaded up x-flash took off my old font put the new one on. it said flash done,
then i pressed home and voila it had bricked
Djvu:nah thats not what i mean...
XtraLarge swapped sony's fonts shadow.pgf and itn0.pgf around coz
he waz experimentin and he launched x flash....turned off and on and
it waz bricked....
1)im not saying xflash is rubbish
2)im sayin XTRALARGE did it stupidly (change his fonts)
you are dumb, you shouldve at least tested it on a frimware emulator, and dont blame xflash it was your misuse of it that caused it. Its like saying its the cars fault you have a broken neck cause you were driving on the wrong side of the road and crashed.
So I figure there's two different people logging in here as XtraLarge.
How exactly did you swap shadow.pgf and ltn0.pgf?
Did you rename shadow.pgf as ltn0.pgf and apply it as a new font from the Modified folder?
sorry about that and yeah ur bang on :(
oh and can people stop flamin him and callin him dum 'n' stuff
he's just bricked his 1.50 psp and the last thing he wants is to be flamed about 4hours later :(
sorry man bricks suck
return guarentees at best buy are lovely though
mine bricked and just went there and got a new one that cost me about 50 dollars when i first got my psp
too bad that guarentee does cover stolen items :(
well good luck buddy

shadow.pgf must have come from fw 2.00 files, it doesn't come with 1.50.
I just emulated that situation under MPH launcher and it is a bricker.
It freezes part way through opening just like you said.
how is it possible to brick a psp with a font changer, all the font changer does is redirect the font files to you memory stick via registry editing so if anything goes corrupt the flash 1 just gets reset
Mine writes the new font to flash0 so the effect remains when you change memory sticks,
or reset your registry.
It assumes that the font in a directory included with the program (if present) is valid.
Removing the ability for the user to brick PSPs this way, may also limit the user to a set
number of fonts that are "biult in" to the program.
To anyone who bricks their PSP through using any application that accesses the flash, it's just too bad. The developers take no repsonsibility, and you all know what you are doing when you write to the flash memory, and if you don't, you really shouldn't be using any homebrew on your PSP.
Art has done a great job with flashmod, and it has many happy users without bricked PSP's, Art being one of them. There is a great readme for instructions on how to use flasmod, If you make a mistake, or if your PSP bricks, it's your own fault.
so if fonts bricked my psp how can i reverse it or do i just have to buy a new motherboard? any ideas Art?
There is the font exploit that writes flash1
The actaul fonts are stored in flash0. The registry is in flash1.Zitat:

im getting a motherboard anyways, so in the future i wont tampure with things again!!
just curious but if i were to get a 2.0 motherboard then downgrade to 1.5 would it be a 2.0 "motherboard" or a 1.5 ""
duh a 2.0 motherboard, with 1.5 firmware :P
then your UMD drive wont work :icon_sad:
that doesnt always happen, but it does happen most of the times. i mean like umd drive not working. at least i dont remember reports of EVERYBODY having probs with the umd drive after switching mobos.
What can I say..?

bossmanuk: Actually it was Ichigo who made Flashmod, Art made Xflash
sodR: The fonts are stored on Flash0 not flash1
AhAHAHAHA YOU GOT BRICK'D!!!
Yes really true. On x-flash there already a warning when u first start the program saying use a own risk blah blllah..Zitat:

what happens when you boot your psp?
it turns off...maybe...
it gives an endless loop informing you that your settings are corrupted and you need to restart.
but when you do it just says that over and over and over.
o well... at least I'm friendly with the guys over at EB. they just swap me a new one whenever I brick one. (thank God)
