Going back to OFW:Help
|
|
Ok so I wanna go back to OFW because I wanna be able to play online(Socom:FTB3)but as you all know with CFW you can't
 I've read some topics about downgrading and such but I don't know what it is exactly I should do with out messing up my PSP. Haha wow, I'm not even suree if I'm supposed to downgrade. So I was hoping you wonderful, all-knowing Neo-peoples could help me on this  Let me tell you the information about my psp so you guys know what I'm working with:  And I'm running 5.50 GEN-D3, so yeah I really appreciate what ever you guys got  (Okay,haha, I got one more problem hopefully you could help me out with) Also for some weird reason when I pop in my Pandora battery and Magic memory stick nothing happens the screen just stays black but the little green light is on. I bought it with CFW 3.90 m33-3 and I didn't know how to update it so IDK maybe that's why- because 5.50GEN is too new for 3.90 CFW. BTW sorry if I've confused you  I'm 70% sure its the memory stick though. (Maybe I should delete everything in it and put some new stuff in, but what if I mess it up, I won't know what to download into it then. *gaasp* I'm such a noob)  Again, thanks for your contributions. Oh and I already tried going to Sony's website and downloading the update but then when I press  on UPDATE it says "There is no need to update because your firmware is 9.90" or something like that.Edit: Feb 23, 10 -------------------  <---Epic, is it not??

Oh, you get a message saying that you can't update because you're on 9.90? Ok, that's a feature in 5.50 GEN that uses a file in your flash0 called 'version.txt', that tells your PSP which firmware you're running so it can say 'yes, you have a lower firmware and can update' or 'no, your firmware is the same/higher and there's no need to downgrade'. 5.50 GEN changes the version.txt to read '....blah blah blah 9.90 blah blah blah' instead of the real 5.50, to prevent accidental updating to OFW when you don't want to. ... I think.
So, you can disable this by going into your Recovery menu (Power PSP fully off, turn it on while holding the R trigger), go into the Configuration menu, then second from the bottom it says: 'Use version.txt (currently: Enabled/Disabled) Switch that to Disabled, and you should probably be able to just upgrade straight to an OFW like 6.20, or whatever the new one is. If not, then you will have to open the flash0 (Recovery -> Advanced -> Toggle USB (flash0), then when your PSP's folder comes up on your computer screen, go vsh/etc/version.txt Make a copy in case of mistakes, change it off of Read-Only, and change the number 9.90 to 5.50. THEN, you should be able to upgrade, IF the previous method didn't work. I've never tested, so I don't know for sure. Just a final note: Beware, and never alter anything about the flash sections that you are unsure about, some of that stuff can really mess up your PSP and ruin your day.  EDIT: With the Pandora Battery and MMS, are you just leaving them in and not pressing any buttons? Try holding the L trigger then putting the battery in, they have a button press now.

My .txt file was already disabled, but changing the .txt text to read 5.50 allowed the psp to queue the update. Thanks! -Aerith | |
