Unbricking A Fully Bricked Or Semi Bricked Psp

[Napster]

Ok if you dont know what a bricked psp is here is a little explination for you and how to unbrick

1.a bricked psp is when you swich on your psp BUT it does not display anything on the screen and the on light is well ON

2.a semi bricked psp is when you psp swiches on and does not show and icons just the lines

3.This is a toutorial on how to unbrick...

lets start over

1. got to recovery mode on your psp by.... holding the right trigger and swiching it on from scrach (holding the on button for 5 seconds +)

2. toggle usb on recovery mode (turn usb mode on using recovery mode)

3.On your computer open your psp and go to psp then game.

4.In the game folder make a NEW FOLDER called RECOVERY
in CAPITALS

5.in that file u should put in the DATA.DXAR (which is the file made when u are hacking the pspin the updmaker) and a file called EBOOT.PBP (which is in the Flasher folder)

6. On the psp go to Run program at /PSP/Game/EBOOT.PBP (insted of recovering your psp which will not work if you have costom firmware it Reflashs your psp.

7.your psp should show the Dark Alex screen which says something like (you are about to flash you psp ............... press X or L or R trigger to cancel)
press X.

8.your PSP should be reflashing it should say when its done flash sucessfull shutdown in 5 seconds restart manully or something like that in green

9. Restart your PSP (swich it back on) and it should be unbricked

10.if you dont have the DATA.DXAR and EBOOT.PBP get it off a friends psp (if it runs homebrew or try downloading them of the net) the EBOOT.PBP should be in the update folder on your computer if you have keped it.

11.If you cant find the DATA.DXAR or EBOOT.PBP try using only the EBOOT.PBP only (which sometimes does work) if you still canted get the files i will try make them Downloadable of the INTERNET

Thank you for reading my How to unbrick a psp Thread.

Good luck unbricking your psp
and when done make a copy of the recovery file on your computer (and dont forget to make a new DATA.DXAR file using the updmaker on your psp because it may come in handy next time you brick your psp

DONT EVER TROW AWAY A BRICKED PSP BECAUSE IT MAY BE FIXABLE

you may want to add recovery will only work on oe firmwares.

[Sullivan]

you can just use the auto installer for RECOVERY like i did..much easier.

[justinisloco]

thank you for this tutorial, although we have had maybe a lot of new people signing up just to write a tutorial on recovery mode and all that, which we already have...

and this is the easy installer for recovery, alot easier than your dxar stuff..

very funny he thinks he can unbrick a full brick.

[Madd Kat]

yeah i would say a full brick is when you have completelyy
currpted the flash

their for recovery wont work either.

good thing is the app that reformatts the flash is
made by DA and not some new coder.

no other flashing apps should be reformatting the flash,
most of them target certin files only,

just my thoughts

[djledd]

smh at givin people false hope

[Rabitsjag]

i dont know where to find the file "DATA.DXAR"

[wolf0491]

funny i remember fixing my semi brick in like maybe 3 steps...

[buu125]

i thought it was impossible to fix a fully bricked psp because when you turn it on nothing happens and you cant go into recovery mode

[lommer]

for now only sony can fix a fully bricked psp, this man is talking about a semi brick

[nemesis023]

hehe.. mine too, my psp is fully bricked, i can't even go to recovery mode, my version is 3.03 oe-c. i corrupted the flash0 and i manage to change the mother board. is there a gadget that makes the psp bricked to unbricked? like cell phones?

[Rob1231]

is there a gadget that makes the psp bricked to unbricked? like cell phones?

nope not yet..

[Daedalin]

You could get a modchip installed, but you'd really be better off ebaying the brick for parts and getting a new one.
