The bestthing to do is porbly re-install 3.80 m33 using a pandora.

That should do it

shut the psp all the way off, so do a cold boot, and hold the R trigger and the reco should come up

btw, this should be in software section?

so ur saying that it is completley turned off, with no battery or charger plugged in, u insert the battery and u dont touch the switch but it turns on itself?

i've never heard of that happening before. all u do is completely turn off psp (take battery out) put battery in, hold r trigger then turn on whilst holding r

sorry for double post but just updated to 3.90m33
Title: Re: need help w/ possiable semi brick
Post by: pax on June 26, 2008, 03:37:13 PM
ok i knew that pandora batteries turn the psp on if their is a magic me stick inserted, but if you just put the battey in, the screen should stay blank and the leds turn on for a little while then turn off. by the way how did u upgrade if you had a semi brick?
Title: Re: need help w/ possiable semi brick
Post by: glenng82 on June 26, 2008, 03:40:10 PM
lol idk if it was a "semi brick" thats what i was told. when i put the bat in the psp turns on and no other leds come on but the power one
Title: Re: need help w/ possiable semi brick
Post by: FaT3oYCG on June 26, 2008, 04:07:07 PM
lol its because your battery is a pandoras battery, you can convert it back with tools you can download on the internet, pandora's battery creator and such. but it does that because it is pandora, if you plug the ac adapter in and turn it on then put the battery in it should work like normal

so why cant i access recovery mode? i used catb50 mms creator. now what should i use for pandora battery creator? i tried the one that ken made in the pandora page but it says there is an error.I keep on getting "The game could not be started (8002014C)" With all defaults, and everything set right (when trying to run The Installer).

use any pandora battery creator, i usually use the "Pandora's Battery by the Team C+D" guide. google search it and follow the instructions. run pandora battery creator on the psp and press square to convert ur battery back to normal using a generic serial. by the way u need 1.50 kernal addon
