Hi,
Thank you very much. It works and it reads now 5.00 m33-4. However, I still need to have a UMD installed or it won't play the games. Pls advice.
cheers,
Bobby

Hi guys,

Ive had a PSP for quite some time now and a friend put 3.40OE-A firmware on it about a year ago. I just ran the M33 Creator to upgrade to 3.52M33 and it all seemed to run ok and the black screen said "done click X to exit" which i did, however in the system info it says i still have 3.40OE-A.

Any Ideas as to what has happened there?

Also i have a friends psp which has 2.71SE-C on it any ideas how to update that one?

Thanks

Hi,
When I first run the recovery flasher, at the end of it the screen turned black but the green light on the right remains solid. I had to take out the battery to restart. It worked and was on 5.00 M33-4. Once, I turned it on , nothing happens , just a black screen.
Do I need to downgrade to a lower version ( I was on 3.10 OE-A) or rerun the recovery flasher again?
Also, I hold the R button and restart, but could not enter the recovery menu to turn off UMD.
Pls advice. Thank you for you help.

u need to reset settings too..

Hi,
I managed to get it working. I did not recall a reset setting option. The problem I faced now is when I off and on twice, sometimes the game does not resume and have to be launched again. So far since I upgraded, it hang twice such that I have to remove the battery.
Do you think I should run the recovery flasher to downgrade to 3.71 or 4.01?
Thank you very much. cheers, Bob
