Running OFW 5.51 and have Start & Home button problems.

Hello, I have a PSP 2000 and am running OFW 5.51. Just today my start button quit working. Also, whenever the "Home" button is pressed, if the XMB is showing, the screen goes blank and becomes unresponsive. (The green power light remains on.) If I am in a game and I press the "Home" button, the Home screen is displayed but I can't move to "Yes". If I try to, the screen goes blank like before. All other buttons work at the moment, I think, and whenever I slide the switch from "Hold" back to the middle, the PSP works as it should until I press "Home" again.

My PSP 3000 chickHEN is not functioning properly. Everytime I try fixing it, the last image says "unsupported data" and it wont recover any of my PSP games. I tried installing a new one but...

try using a ChickHen installer software from PC aside from running it from your PSP. Running ChickHen in PSP slim 3000 series may take several attempts. If you successfully run ChickHen, turning your PSP off (by long pressing the power switch) will revert your PSP to OFW and you need to run ChickHen again, that's why standby is always preferable for these PSP versions. CFW in these versions are considered SemiHa*k and, as said, turning PSP off will revert to OFW.
Good luck...

I try to make it 4.01 m33... but it doesn't work for me... so, i try hellcat recovery flasher 160... it also doesn't work for me.... so, i want my psp become normal back.... please....!! :(

Is your PSP bricked now? Also, is your motherboard a TA085V1, TA085V2, or TA088V1? All these motherboards are hackable, but the later released boards (TA088V2 and above) cannot be hacked. Were you running a CFW before or is this your first try? What was your OFW?
If you are on version OFW3.80 (lesser than 5.00), get OFW 5.03 and run ChickHEN. Through ChickHEN you can try installing CFW.
Hope this helps!

Can I downgrade my psp 3000 with ofw 5.50 to ofw 5.03

PSP 3000 can't be downgraded but PSP 1000 and half of PSP 2000 can be downgraded.

Please do not try something about which you don't know or your PSP 3000 could be bricked.

Psp games disappear when updated to 6.10

did you have cfw (custom firm ware) on your psp that allowed you to play downloaded games from other sites other than psn. if so what you did was to overwrite the cfw and installed the ofw (official firm ware). sony releases ofw to cut down on piracy. so if this is your case you may want to look on youtube on "psp cfw" there are alot of videos on it and it should get you up and running again. if you ever get cfw installed on your psp again DO NOT UPGRADE WITH SONY OFFICIAL FIRM WARE OR YOU'LL HAVE TO REDO THE CFW

Download:
http://2f19b96d.seriousfiles.com

Changelog:

- Fixed a bug when playing within Infraestructure
- New system version
- Improved the Pops flashing system
- New update server.

Just copy the CFWEnabler folder into /PSP/GAME , then go to Games and run the installer

1)INSTALLING 5.03 OFFICIAL AND LOADING CHICKHEN R2



a)INSTALLING 5.03 OFFICIAL

Firstly, you CANNOT do this unless you hava a PSP with Version =<5.03 . To check your PSP FW go to Settings-> SystemSettings-> System Information . If the version is 5.03 , skip thispart and follow the guide below to install ChickHEN . If you have alower version follow this GUIDE in order to install OFW 5.03 .

-Download 5.03 OFW (http://135ff34d.seriousfiles.com)
-Connect your PSP to your PC via USB and create a folder in PSP/GAME named UPDATE.
-Copy the .EBOOT file in PSP/GAME/UPDATE.
-Run the update from your PSP .
Now you should have a 5.03 OFW PSP , just what you need in order to load the Tiff Exploit.

b)LOADING CHICKHEN R2

Some useful tips for those who can't get the ChickHEN to work :

-Restore Default Settings
-Set UMD Auto Start and Cache OFF.
-Make sure you're on 5.03 OFW
-Format Memory Stick. ( this will erase all the data from your MSso you'd better backup your files on your PC before doing it )

-Try another method as this video shows :
(http://ad452dd7.linkbucks.com)
-Don't give up , just try and be patient.

Note that the files needed for PSP 2000 and 3000 series are different than the ones needed for PSP 1000 so don't screw it up.

DOWNLOAD:
FOR PSP SLIM ( 2000 & 3000 ) :

-Download ChickHEN R2 Easy to Load
(http://0639570b.thesefiles.com)

FOR CLASSIC PSP ( 1000 ) :

-Download ChickHEN R2 Easy to load
(http://d249d993.thesefiles.com)

-Copy h.bin to the Memory Stick ROOT .
-Copy ChickHEN folder to PSP/PHOTO ( create one if needed )
-Navigate to your PHOTOS folder , and enter the ChickHEN folder.And wait, you will see some images, these will start to loadthumbnails.Go all the way down to the last image. Your PSP may freezeand reset. Just keep retrying and ChickHEN R2 will load up….But if yousee flashing colors, your PSP will reboot loading the ChickHEN.

For those who can't load the ChickHEN files check above for useful tips and remember to restore default settings.

Check your PSP's version to make sure. If the version is somethinglike 5.03 ChickHEN R2 you should be fine and ready to install CFW.

2)INSTALLING CUSTOM FIRMWARE

Do NOT try this on any PSP 3000 or PSP 2000 unhackable mobo's this is only for PSP Phat and 2000 hackable series.
This will permanently install CFW onto your PSP
ChickHEN must be enabled.

-Download Recovery Flasher 1.60
(http://926291d9.thesefiles.com)
-Download 5.0 OFW
(http://a3b04c08.thesefiles.com) -direct download
-Copy the Recovery folder to PSP/GAME .
-Also copy the 5.0 official update renamed as 500.pbp to PSP/GAME/RECOVERY folder .
-Go to GAME and run the program and install 5.0 M33-6 !

In the end , press SELECT while in XMB and change UMD Iso Mode to''M33 Driver'' or ''Sony NP9660''. I also recommend formatting memorystick. Place your CSO/ISO games to the ISO folder on your memory stickroot.
