HELP! how to install a custom theme on 3.52 m33

[Nukem]

well guys i searched "3.52 theme installation" but i couldnt find a tutorial. last time i tried to install a custom theme, i fully bricked my psp. i dont wanna brick it again.
these are what i've done so far

i downloaded ultimate blue custom theme,
i got into the recovery menu and toggled flash0,
connected the psp to pc via usb,
i now see the folders dic, vhs, etc.
what should i do know?

Use the tutorial in my sig for a way to not brick your psp again. its under xmb mod.

well i wanna flash it to flash0. in my first try i think i unplugged the usb cable a bit early. thats why it bricked.

i still need help for the normal installation.(flashing)

just copy the files over to where they need to be. Dont copy over the whole folder, that would be bad. You should find in the files you downloaded something like Flash0\vsh\resource and then a bunch of .rco files. Just copy/paste them over. Do teh same with all the rest of the files you downloaded. And ALWAYS unmount your psp before pulling the plug. ALWAYS!
A theme should rarely give you a full-brick unless you copied the folder over instead of the files.

cool. If you need some good themes head over to PSP-XMB | By se_p800
That site has a lot of really nice themes for 3.52M33

i took a look at the folders in the zip file. there is a dic folder there. other guys in this forum told me to delete the dic folder in flash0 to make room for themes. i'm a bit confused now. should i ignore that dic folder in the zip file?

btw all the files in the dic folder are 1byte.

edit: i installed the theme. it works fine. thx again for the replies.

the dic folder in the theme has dummied files in it, so if you listen to Japanese mp3's you won't get a bsod

getting rid of the DIC folder fees up lots of space for big custom themes

i got the hang of this stuff. i installed 5 themes in one day. but now i have a question.
i use the ultimate blue theme and i wanna switch the opening animation(default: sce logo). that animation in ultimate blue sux, can i change it with the original sony computer entertainment logo? and how can i do that?

did you back up the flash0? If so you can put the original opening_plugin.rco back into the vsh\resource folder.
I think its the opening_plugin.rco, but thats just and educated guess.
