Flasher For PSP

Here is a simple idea for all the programmers in our PSP community.

The PSP is like a mobile phone, all the information regarding the software and file structure is stored on an Internal Flash.

I think that if we could get a programmer which could create a Flash Type software, which works in the same manner a Phone Unlocker Software or Firmware Changer for mobile phones then we will be able to flash any PSP to any firmware regardless of the Firmware which was on the PSP in the first place.

UP has made a flasher for there Mod Chip and this works in the same manner, the only things about the PSP is we would require a USB to Serial connector, as Sony use the serial port to flash the PSP on production.

Also something I shouldn't say but here goes, they use the serial port of the PSP to FLASH BRICKED PSP's back to life.

For everyone wondering where the serial port is.. it is the port beside your headphone socket and is used by your headphone remote.

I'm sure some programmer will have the skills, and another thing Sony don't want you to know. There is currently no way to stop you from using this port and won't be in any Firmware update as we require this to Flash your PSP when you bring it in for repair.

I've said all I can say.

the psp unlike a phone dosent go into usb mode when plugged intop the computer. but u can try using some programs on it.

I think you will find that the PSP serial port is used by Sony to flash your PSP when you brick it.

I should know, but I can't disclose why I know.

Well that's what I thought as well, but some people dismissed this idea ages ago, and hasn't really been revived. But if Sony reflashes Flash0 using this, why can't we? What type of software would be needed to access the half-written flash if the PSP can't be turned on?

There's a simple way to find out. Find someone who had a bricked PSP and sent it to Sony. Ask them to look if the warranty sticker it gone. If it's not, then they probably flashed it via Serial Port or via USB. Or they just put a new sticker on.

Sony don't even take the battery cover off your PSP to fix it... please listen to me, I can't tell you everything I know, but I can let you know there is a mjor exploit in the serial port.. THIS IS THE DOOR TO EVERY FIRMWARE!!!! EVEN THE 3.00

I think that since if you brick the psp you can still turn it on just not use it since its only a black screen if you flash from the serial port from a computer all it needs is power and it has that.

WTF MATE, the silent farter? I gotta be careful being around you.... :dry:
