Then you have to be more careful when using apps that write to flash.

Always make a back up of your flash before using apps like this. The recovery or XMB menus of your cfw will allow you to mount your flash on your PC using USB.

Comment by Foolmonkey
2008-06-16 14:18:50

the program takes a flash backup when you first use it. then all you have to do in recovery is “Run prgrogram at ms0:/psp/game/RECOVERY/eboot.pbp” it’s that simple

Yeah, so I’m relatively new to hacking, I was wondering how do I get it onto my PSP, I downloaded the program but what do I do now?

Comment by Steve

“what do I do now?”

You delete it until you learn more about flashing and, more importantly, how to recover a bricked PSP.

Hmm…very nice, but the first time I flashed anything with it, I semi-bricked (half of the XMB mods included seem to do this). After I got over that using the included recovery, my Internet Browser is all corrupted (the top half of fonts in the frame are cut off and the OSK has weird graphical glitches), although it seems to display pages much neater and in smaller-than-small, crisper fonts. Does that mean I have to completely re-flash 3.90M33?

Comment by 5ive
2008-06-15 17:41:57

thats because you dont have enough free room. or the kernel isnt on 3xx

Comment by GG-Xtreme
2008-06-16 20:40:27

Thanks for the help. It turns out that the ‘XMB theme recovery’ option wasn’t fully restoring something, so after restoring all the font files one-by-one with the recovery program, and then doing a full recovery, everything seems back to normal. It’s too bad though that any XMB customization I do messes up my Internet Browser.

WTF is a semi-brick.
Is that one of those hollow bricks you hide your house keys in?

a semi brick is when you corupted or delate a file in the flash and your psp cant boot to the xmb but you can still access the recovery menu

 
Comment by browser text

posted by bottmint at pspupdates

the screwed up browser text is caused by flashing a custom menu click/custom info bar. its not caused by the custom font (although some fonts can exceed the limit and have characters disappear). if you make your own theme dont flash a custom click sound/info bar if you use the web browser frequently.

hey i have a topmenu_plugin.rco that has the halo icons from an older fw version. when i change the name to topmenu_icon.rco and flash it, the icons are there and xmb works fine until i go to the right and up to the rss. then it freezes. i suppose this is because my older version didn’t have the extras that 3.90 has in it so it freezes. i tried to edit it with rco editor, but i am lost. how can i add the extra icons so it wont freeze??

This is a really good app no problems and yes i tried doing the recovery of my ole flash without any problems so u ppl that are really new to flashing and came here when pandora came out ! Will be spoiled by not any dealings with the old ways when u had to be careful n also take educated risk when flashing it take preparation !

ODV out!

 
Comment by Ellan
2008-06-16 17:08:34

This App is really great.
Although i got a semi brick at first time. But the app creates a recovery file so u can just enter the recovery console and restore all to the original state. Its just as simple as that.

Peace!

2008-06-16 20:42:34

Well, customization has never been easier. It’s too bad that background flashing doesn’t work for me (I get a white background or semi-brick) and any other sort of XMB mod messes up the Internet Browser for me. Yes, fresh 3.90M33-3 install, and yes, 3.90 kernel.

I need Help!!!

I think i semi briked the psp. the internet browser is messed up and the fonts in psptube is so small. I recovered everything in this application and i still have the same problem. i deleted and re installed and recovered again but it still didn’t work.

Comment by GG-Xtreme
2008-06-17 15:08:49

You have to manually recover each font file in the Recovery program (ltn0.pgf, apotp.dic, atokp.dic, aux0.dic, aux1.dic, aux2.dic, aux3.dic, jpn0.pgf, kr0.pgf, gb3s1518.bwfon, and then recover ltn0.pgf a second time). Do this right after customizing the XMB, and don’t flash custom fonts. If you flash custom XMB sounds, you will also have to recover the resources: htmlviewer_plugin.rco, osk_plugin.rco, osk_utility.rco, htmlviewer.res; and the module files: htmlviewer_plugin.prx, netfront.prx, and osk_plugin.prx.

Angel-of-Death - that error means that either on of the MOD folders are missing or empty.

Check the gameboot folder, b/c some sites uploaded it without any gameboots.

Or it could mean the file structure is somehow wrong.

Make sure the “Themes & MODS” folder is on the root of Memory stick. And inside that should be 2 folders.

1 - Themes
2 - MODS

Maybe you have too many folders (from extracting) ??

Make sure its not ms0:/Themes & MODS/ Themes & MODS/

^^^ That could cause it too.

I’ll also send you an email with this info.
Hope it helps

2: The wave is missing ( A friend of my uses this app also and it works 100% correct on his fat psp)

how can i fix this problem?

to everyone… do not try updating your psp to CFW 4.01 when your under this homebrew coz’ it will semi/brick your psp on restoring default XMB. maybe what you should do first is to restore the default XMB first hand before updating to CFW4.01
