A brick I think

[4dP]

oh yeah got my red psp buttons from the scavenger hunt and there awesome thx acidmods

That's an IDstorage brick.
Sorry man.

[4dP]

what can i do?

[Ilzwalrus]

There is no known way of regenerating the IDstorage area and so no way to fix it... sorry dude.
Wait for somebody else to reply, but I'm pretty certain it's a full brick.

  how did this happen was it a bad pandora or something what 

[dedafmonteur]

sometimes you can brick your psp with the pandore but it allmost never happens. but i think it happend to you.

the only thing you can do it buy a new mobo...

[MattZani]

you could just leave the pandora in.

[Ilzwalrus]

you could just leave the pandora in.

How do you expect him to run it normally with Pandora in? He means if pandora is in, the screen comes up, if normal battery, nothing happens.

[phenomenal]

what you do is you do, turn it on, with just the charger in, then once its past the starting movie thing, insert the battery, then take out the charger, then install custom firmware, then run id fixer (its called something like that)

also, wrong section (not anymore)

[mitchelljm]

if it is an id brick 4 options

1 if you have bake up if id then install it with the extended pandora menu

2 wait till there is a way to fix id

3 back up bad id, install a friends id that is same mobo type and same firmware and same psp type(not every thing will work but better than nothing) and do #2 too

4 buy new mobo

Sorry i havn't been part of the psp scene for a while but cant a pandora battery be charged and used normally? i spose if it just boots automatically when started then im wrong but i thought it used a key combo of some kind, oh well

Sounds like you got an expensive paperweight

[4dP]

i backup a friends nand if i use the restore function on the pandora battery on the psp will my psp be better

[robin1989]

i dont think so fully . as the pandora will flash the idstorage so you may end up with a psp that some things like internet wifi etc wont work i think

[ronnieb]

TimmyDX

you can use the pandora as a normal battery but you will need to get past the boot first

1/ start psp from charger with no battery in until fully booted

2/ insert pandora

3/ revove charger and play...

4dP, make a backup of ur NAND,

then store it on ur PC, then use ur friends dump and once it's running place UR dump back into the MMS and flash the NAND back, if it stays messed up like it was, u messed up ur storage keys, if not, try formatting flash1 and reset settings, or if that doesn't work last resort is to use cory149 NAND tool and use it "Repartition iflash" which means= ur idstorage may still be intact and just needs to be place correctly, i may not know much about modding but when it comes to this im PRO, LOL, hope this helps you

i may not know much about modding but when it comes to this im PRO, LOL, hope this helps you

ok then is your so "pro" then:
-how can he back up his nand if hes bricked?
-how can he flash anything if hes bricked?

[Sgt Lovin]

ok then is your so "pro" then:
-how can he back up his nand if hes bricked?
-how can he flash anything if hes bricked?

If he has a pandora battery he can do it? (unless for some unkown reason his PSP doesn't wanna turn on

If the above is correct, and he can't turn his PSP on at all, Dark_AleX said he will be releasing time machine in the future that will boot even when ur IDStorage keys are completely f d up
