After upgrading from 4.01 M33 to the 5.50 Gen D my PsP cannot boot normally anymore. I have to remove my memory card in order for it to boot otherwise I get the message "Firmware not supported please turn off PsP". I have found out that the firmware that was downloaded onto my card is for the PsP Slim instead of the Phat. I don't understand why it installed the Slim firmware instead, but I wish to have it instead the Phat firmware so it will work correctly again.

My problem is that I lack the intelligence to know how to do something like this or if it's even possible without wiping the whole card and restarting. Would there be a real reason that it thought my PsP was a Slim instead of a Phat?

wut?
Theres no different firmwares for 1K and 2K.

If there isn't a difference in the firmwares between Slim and Phat then why would I be getting that error (Firmware not supported please turn off PsP) message when I turn my PsP on?

Wow, weird. Pic/vid maybe?

Trust me there is no difference, and I've never seen that message before. Please post a picture or something.

Here are pictures showing turn on with and without my memory card inside. After turning on without the memory card I can put it right back in and run programs, but I just can't get back to home screen after using a program without getting the error again. Could it be something on the card failing?

You have to delete the space between "ht" and "tp" for link as I cannot post url's yet with my current post count.

The error message with memory card during bootup:

Normal running without memory card:

Side notes: My PsP did have a 4.01 theme on it, could this theme be screwing with bootup?

Yes that is your problem. The CFW is trying to load an incompatible theme at bootup. Disable CXMB and delete it from the card.

The firmware isn't stored on the memory card, it's in the internal memory, so that couldn't be your problem anyway.

I just deleted it off the card yet I still have the same problem. Would there be any other causes? Or ways the theme could still be causing issues even though I disabled CXMB and got rid of it. (Also even changed the theme after.)

Try deleting CXMB altogether, since I noticed you said you went to 5.50 GEN, it won't be compatible at all. Also disable any other plugins you might be running.

I found the issue. I had IRshell and it was for the lower version I had before. After deleting that all works fine now. Thank you for all your help. I can't believe I didn't check with all my programs before this.

Yeah whenever you update firmware, you should always disable all of your current plugins, because chances are some/all won't work with the new firmware.
