Error 80020321 NOT ON CFW!!! on OFW

[bobdoleo]

So... I fruited up installing an old-a$$ update on my phat psp, (1.5 kernel... just so I could try n play super mario war homebrew [not worth it:-)])... I did so by using a pandora battery + mms, but it errored, and left the psp in a bricked state. I used some crap I found (in an archive called "the file you need.rar"?) and extracted the files to my memory card, using a memory card reader... and it *sorta* helped, now the psp boots the xmb. It's at v3.71. it doesn't say "m33", or ANYthing after the version in system info.

Problem: I then attempted to update to 6.60 over wifi. it dl'ed, then errored, can't remember the error, but then I tried downloading from my pc. It errored again:-/ I then popped in a UMD with 6.31 on it (god of war), and it ERRORED AGAIN!!! WTF?!?! how can you get error 80020321 from a stinkin' UMD???

some other interesting stuff: the update would start, then, before it even got to 1%, it would pop up an error window, "the disc cannot be read bla bla press x to continue reading" and show error 80020321, then it would show a different error. Then a different error. I gave up, needless to say.

This is driving me NUTSO, and yes, I've been googling for answers, although idk what exactly to search for. I am going crazy:-|

I just wanna get to the newest ofw, for cryin' out loud... then I know how to install everything on my own... any help?

i think you got error because your firmware is from 3.71 when you unbrick it ? then when your updating to 6.60 or 6.31 because of your current version.

Try this, download Hellcats from here Hotfile.com: One click file hosting: Hellcat Recovery Flasher.rar copy the RECOVERY folder to your PSP/GAME folder then run it . select 5.00 after that try updating to 6.60 using your wifi

you know, I heard of that hellcats thing, and that's one of the only things I haven't tried... Downloading now. hopefully this'll do the trick....

Ps thanks for the help peeps I never ask for help, this is prolly the first posting I've ever made on a forum asking for help!

EDIT: ...and "The game could not be started. (80020148)"... It seems I cannot run ANY applications, somehow... the pandora thingy works, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to figure that out...

Pandoras/MMS combo to 5.00m33

This dun did it!!! Thanks, so so SO much!!!

Basically just did what he suggested, using "test M33", by popping in the battery, while holding L trigger, which went to a menu, and selected test m33, then it loaded an apparently "live" version of the modded firmware. (BTW couldn't use the menu to straight-up install the cfw OR ofw, it errored at arround 49%), then tried updating via wifi, which errrored (I think it was using "use m33 network update" option or something...) BUT all worked when I popped in that UMD, after recharging the stupid pandora battery, which was at like 18%... anyway it updated

Some things which I just realized might've helped to know (sorry...):
- I was using one of those Microsd-to-MS adapters
- The microsd card I was using, it is afaik a 2GB that has been reflashed as 512MB... wtf didn't they just keep it as 2GB I'll never understand...


I've been all depressed and stuff, til now, even though I wasn't about to pour any amount of moolah into this thing, it was annoying as heck.

so thanks to all who participated
