I have officially bricked my PSP and now i can't play the GTA VCS that I just bought before it happened! Now I have to get a free brand new one next week and I'll miss out on everything! What happened was when I got VCS I had devhook for v2 to v1.5 and when it said 2.8 was needed I was updating the PSP but I got worried I would never be able to use LCS CD so I turned the PSP off and now it won't turn on so I assume it is bricked since the charger is plugged in and when it turns on the screen stays black then turns off.

P.S. Guys I get pissed easily sometimes so I freak out so I am sorry to D:C and V for whatever happened in the last fight.

omg, soory..but it clearly says do dont turn off the pspunplug the AC cord..sorry dude. :blink:

.....next time...don't upgrade.....AND DON'T TURN OFF POWER! DAH

get a used 1.5 non t8 or a 2.6 and downgrad to 1.5

get dark_alexs custom fw where you can't brick your psp cuz it has a recovery

and then there is no worrys

The weird thing is I didn't even have the AC cord in so I don't even now why it doesn't work because nothing could have updated halfway. Also where do I get this custom FW.

just dearch google for Dark alex's 1.5 custom firmware you will get alot of 2.71 se

so search Dark Alex's 1.5 custom firmware -2.71 -se -se b



the -blah make google take out the ones that envolve what ever after -

EDIT

Dark Alex's 1.5 custom firmware -2.71 -se -se b -Irshell

there where alot of irshell

EDITEDIT

FOUND IT

Thanks! But does anyone know if there is a reason the PSP bricks so easily? Because if I had the AC adapter not plugged in (I was in a car) why the PSP killed itself.

Note: It is charged
It has a good battery
I only got it last December
It has no viruses or anything on it
All the downloaded stuff on it have always worked

you don't need the ac pluged in the baqttery just has to be above 50%

and the reason it bricks is becuz you turned off the power when it was del.in the old firmware befor it had the chance to either put that fw back in or change it to 2.81 so basicly your psp just doesn't have a firmware aka bricked

FUCK! I love my PSP and now right when I got VCS today I can't use itand haven't even used it! I wish I could go back in time to fix this. I have to wait a week and by then everyone will think I'm a noob with all the questions on how to use the CD for VCS and how to make cheats. Man this sucks ass!

you won't need to look like a noob there are tuts that tell exactly on how to run devhook
install prx manualy or with the .exe
(NOTE:the .exe is easyer that taking a shit)
what you need to do to run vcs









may i ask what size is your mem stick.

1 GB. I found something that tells you how to unbrick a PSP but I don't know how to use it.

well try to figure it out also send me the link to it i will try to help

and good cuz if your gunna use the iso which if you have a 1.5 you have to (for now)

mine with out update and the radio is about 750mb in iso form in cso it lags

but cso is about 550mb

Here is the vid of the guy unbricking it:

I accidently hit the update icon for VCS, and as soon I saw the .pmf play I was like "OMFG!" I pulled the battery immediately, and when I put it back in, and hit the switch the psp didn't turn on.
turned out I didn't have the battery in all the way, so when I put the back cap on it worked fine. :D

I would of never pulled the battery during the update though, that's just stupid...

LOL.

Vette you should stay calm, when you press it, it explains whats on the firmwire at any time you can press home and exit.
No need to yank out the battery..:P

Dote, unlucky man. Next time read your PSP manuel.
[sarcasm]
Send it to sony and say your brother pulled it out whilst updating, and that its a design fault that it messes up due to one little thing, and that if your psp is not refunded you will take a then to court..=D

[sarcasm/]

It must still have the warranty sticker though, if you want it fixed for free.

LOL. Do you not know that in the middle of an upgrade you will instantly brick if you turn it off??? Even I know that........

See even doliver knows that!

I heard the new updates start immediately.
I may be wrong though...

Even I know that!!!

BTW:- V....thats a JVT mod yes??? In your avy???

Thats what my family member did :P just tell sony it updated all the way then restrted and wont go back on tell them it was a umd upgrade. Thats all i did and they sent me a new one.... of course its ganna be a 2.8 <_<

I own 3 psp's I had to update a ta-082 model for Vcs and I would use my 1.5 for cheatdevice Etc... it warns you about turning off or removing the memory stick I Made sure I had the right psp for it updated :unsure: the power during the upgrade of the ta-082 model and it seamed to have consumed alot of my time for that uprade it was like 5 minutes long I have never seen one that takes that long to upgrade before weird! :D all went good :D

i have 2...

ones a 1.5 non t8
other is a 2.8 non t8

Woo! My posts disappeared!

.....? :blink:

I don't know what happened but mine and V's disappeared. Also my PSP comes in Monday or Saturday. I hope they don't give me one with 2.8 because my friend said that he sent his to the company with 2.7 and got a 1.5!!!

It goes through the safety precautions: Battery Level, AC Adapter..etc
Then goes through the TOS
Then asks if your sure you want to upgrade.

My friend has a good FW2.00 PSP and I told him not to upgrade. He has a bunch of 2.8 games but doesn't want to upgrade so I am going to ask him if he wants my brand new one for his old crappy one that can use the CD. So I hope this all ends well unless his parents want it back. He usually likes the trades we make. I really hope he wants my PSP he doesn't care about FW since he can't have GTA LCS or VCS.

Okay, here is a little tip. I've done it several times with clueless kids that dont know anything. Ask to borrow his PSP (over night preferrably). Once you get it, downgrade it to 1.5. If it doesnt brick, take off the faceplate, and replace it with the other PSP's faceplate. Unless there are noticeable differences on the back/sides/he knows about firmware) he will never notice the difference, and when you return it, he will think its his instead of yours. Pure Genius!

i know some people who working on brick ps to try to unbrick them he a computer
dude knows a lot about electronics and he hacks into games

Oh yeah...If it bricks while downgrading, tell him you got it and it wouldnt turn on. He will instinctively think the battery is dead and not your fault. Gosh, I love talking to myself. :hammer:

you could get a mod chip installed some one some were once got people to send him there bricked psp and up and he isntalled and un bricked
