Traded a 2.80 psp for 2.5 then BRICK. by Steven on 11-06-2006 at 12:45 AM
Okies. I thought i was living the good life. Let me tell you, out of the 16 people in my grade who have a PSP, 2 of them know about homebrew, Me, and leon.
So i had many possibilites to choose from which n00b to trade my psp for theres. And i knew they had low firmware versions because they couldn't answer my simple question of "what version your psp is?". I traded my 32 mb for someones Gig, and i traded my 2.80 psp to a 2.5 psp and i added a ps1 memory stick, and a few ps1 games. After a few hours of ISO"ING, he borrows it back at school for an hour, then i play it, and BRICK. He doesnt want to trade back, even though we both agreed that if any of our psp broke in 1 month we would have to trade. His name is josh, and josh is going to have a nasty rash tommorow.

Usually happens when you screw the firmware.

Luckly he still has waranty on his psp, so i will send it to sony like i did last time, though i probably wont get a hackable firmware. And beleive it or not, its pretty hard, i had a link of firmware history for you, and i think cookie would be able to hack it but he doesnt do illigela things.

it would be that easy if sony weren't drm filled money obsessed pricks. the only reason there's no reset button is because it'd make it easier to downgrade to 1.5 firmware.

The people who surround you are idiots, who in their right mind would trade a gb stick for a 32mb one? It just does't make any sense to me, and dude, stop exploiting those around you 
.
Just send the PSP off and hope to God that they fix it for you.

Okay, even before i traded my psp, 2 weeks ago i was at his house, and this guy is spoiled rich. When he was on the computer i asked "hey josh, can i borrow your memory stick?" He replied "ya whatever"
2 weeks past, and i asked him about trading. He said that he wanted ps2/ps1 some games with it and i brought my 32 mb card to school and i was ready to convince him that he didn't really need a gb since all he was going to use it for is to save data from game files. So i took out the 32 mb, and before i could say anything, he took it out of my hands and said "oh sweet, my memory stick back, thanks" He gave it a quick 5second look. And this is a guy who tihnkings macs are burgers and pc's are games.
I just realised its not bricked. i put it in recovery mode and fixed it

I wondered how you'd brick it without doing anything unusual.

Should have been the first thing you tried
1.5 or 2.71SE-B?
Btw, exploiting is wrong
I wouldn't have the heart for it...Cloudy

Oh, makes sense then, I wouldn't force somebody into that, but still, I would have made the swap if they were willing (even if I was getting the better deal).
