3.10 OE-A custom firmware out and about

Posted Feb 4, 2007 at 10:57AM by QJ Staff Listed in: Firmware, Hacks & Exploits, Homebrew Applications, News Tags: Custom Firmware, Dark-AleX, TyRaNiD

Oh happy day, it's Castor Troy! - Image 1

Quick results well appreciated. Dark_Alex has released (oh yes, you've got to love a jump in the tenths) 3.10 Open Edition Rev. A (OE-A), which means that our PSP users will have a very busy time with the download site after reading this. And as a first release, installation will have to be done the long way around, as a full installation using OEUPDMAKER and 310oeflasher.

Instructions are at the Readme, as well as the all-important checksum values that tell you whether the entire process came out right or... gulp, not. We encourage you to read the Readme. As always, the installation process has a small chance of bricking your PSPs, which is yet another good reason to read the Readme.

Finally, the changelog he provides, also known among us as "Reasons to be Grateful":

Change from 3.03 firmware to 3.10
4th level of brightness (aka battery eater) can now be selected also without ac adaptor.
Changes in hen core:

Static user elf's can now be executed in the 3.10 kernel. (this includes snes user version between other programs)

Tyranid's patch (added in 3.03 OE-C) consequences was not explained very well in the changelog of 3.03 OE-C:

For programmers: it allows kernel modules to have user imports, making kernel programming in 3.03/3.10 less strict.
For users: plugins and applications that worked in 2.71 SE, but not in OE, *may* now work in 3.03OE-C and 3.10 OE-A.

POPS-related important note:

The plugin to load 3.02 pops won't work anymore in 3.10 OE, due to some changes in pops modules structure (meaudio fused with popsman, idcanager/idmanager behaviour slightly changed). A new plugin for 3.10 could be written next week.

We'll hang around for that one. Why aren't you clicking on the Download link yet?

Custom topmenu_plugin.rco's doesn't work on this firmware yet.

# Warning !!!!!!! — axelixc 2007-02-04 05:31

Dun flash any modified topmenu_plugins or opening_plugins to this new cfw....few semi-bricked reported over other websited.

If u encounter internet browser error while trying to connect to internet, just restore yr psp setting to default.

My personal favourite - ff7 is now more compatible. no more blicking of characters' name in command bar in the fighting scene.

MY personal best - volume adjustment in pops - Normal > +1 > +2

Last but not least, thank you Dark Alex. The man that never sleeps...

# yo — Guest 2007-02-04 05:32

the other day while i was playing my psp it just cut off while i was playing. it won't turnon. i thought it was the battery. but i used my friend battery to see. it still did not work. I'm running 3.03 oe-c. i tried using recoverey but i won't turn on at all

"The plugin to load 3.02 pops won't work anymore in 3.10 OE, due to some changes in pops modules structure (meaudio fused with popsman, idcanager/idmanager behaviour slightly changed). A new plugin for 3.10 could be written next week."

So this doesn't allow us to play PSX games?? If so, I'm not upgrading to this yet.

# IS that for iso?? — Guest 2007-02-04 05:44

if so you must have a disk in the drive

# No topmenu? — turnipeater 2007-02-04 05:47

if there's no custom topmenu i'm not gonna bother for now, ill just wait for an app that can do this to come out 4 3.10

Nice work though!

# ... — Guest 2007-02-04 05:50

You can still play PSX games...

Just not with the 3.02 version PSX plugin (POPS)

You can just run it as usual with the built-in 3.10 POPS

If you didn't know what the 3.02 POPS plugin was, it doesn't really matter anyway.

# ADVICE NEEDED — Guest 2007-02-04 05:53

Im still running the latest version of Devhhok. Im running 3.01 firmware with it because I have not had areason to upgrade. All games so far work fine on 3.01 firmware. Im going to have to eventually upgrade to 3.10 OE-A. My question is since I have not yet played PS1 games on my PSP will this program do it by itself if I have a PS1 ISO or do I have to convert it with another program? Whats the deal? Someone please explain. Thanks

P.S. I have only been out of the game since December but I feel like Im so far behind on all the news.

Can Anyone tell me if location free player works in this?

# HELP — Guest 2007-02-04 05:59

CAN I UPDATE FROM STRAIGHT 3.03OE-C CAUSE I DON'T WANNA BRICK MY PSP AGAIN. I READ THE README AND DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT WHICH FIRMWARE TO UPDATE FROM.

# NO! — GaveUpTomorrow 2007-02-04 05:59

No, it didn't work in Dark Alex's previous custom firmwares, and it doesn't work in this version either. It would say so if he added it back in, but chances are he will never add it back in, as he needs the room for all of the other features in the custom firmware. Just use PimpSteamer instead, it basically does the same thing.

# Yes — Guest 2007-02-04 06:01

you have to convert the ISO to an EBOOT. There is a lot of programs called popstation that does that for you on dl.qj.net

Then you put the game under x:/PSP/GAME/whatevergamenam e/

# Regionfree — Guest 2007-02-04 06:02

Does it support region free?

In 3.03 OE-A,B,C it did´nt work.

# You have to... — GaveUpTomorrow 2007-02-04 06:02

use Popstation or an equal frontend to convert your ISO to the popstation format so that you PSP can play the PS1 game ;)

# PS1 — Guest 2007-02-04 06:03

If you have a PS1 iso, you do have to convert it. The converter you need is called Popstation. Once you have the converted files on your psp, they will show up in the Game>>Memory Stick section.

# Don't Use 3.03 custom Icons — Guest 2007-02-04 06:03

So yeah, I used that 3.03 Custom Topmenuplugin.rco because you will have a half brick!

I have upgraded to 3.03 OE-C but I'm not sure if it safe to downgrade and upgrade again. Any help is appreciated!

Just upgrade directly from 3.03 OE, the upgrade formats the flash anyway so there won't be any such problem

not enough good comes from this other than a number change in the firmware, everything else is just as good in the other versions, not to mention no 3.02 pops plugin, or (so far) no topmenu, thanks but no thanks im waiting,

Nope you'd need to downgrade first. Then upgrade to 3.10 OE-A.

You can currently only downgrade from anything besides 3.10, so stay away from that and wait it out, would be my best advice.

# ... — Guest 2007-02-04 08:05

WELL BEFORE I UPDATES I DID A DEFRAGMENT TO MY MEMORY STICK AND FOUND 2 FRAGMENTS I ALWAYS DO A DEFRAGMENT BEFORE RUNNING NEW UPDATES AND I DID UPDATE SUSSCESFULLY

# upgrading — Guest 2007-02-04 08:14

OK, guys.. I believe that since this is a major update, it needs to be done the same way 3.03OE-C was done... a complete install .... so if you do a quick search for the 3.03OE-C, you will find more detailed info on downgrading to 1.5, then updating to 3.10OE-A ..

.. I am not 100% positive due to the warning of downgrading to 1.5 from 3.03OE-C

Nice job guys!!! .. Keep up the great work!! I will personally wait a couple of weeks ( I just got 3.03OE-C 2 days ago )

For people wondering about locationfree... I reinstalled the LF player by removing jap fonts to create more room, then using extracted LF files from 3.03, and using flashagent to install these files.. heres exactly what I did:

1. Charge battery to 75% to prevent bricking during flashing.

2. Download Flash Agent rev. D3 and place in PSP/GAME150/

3. Press X on Recovery Menu, hit left, and X again to disable Japanese Font.

4. Exit by pressing Home.

5. Download the 3.03 EBOOT file, and the Psar Dumper.

6. Extract both files and put the Psar Dumper in the PSP/GAME150 folder, put the 3.03 EBOOT somewhere you will find it later.

7. Download this PBP Unpacker. Once downloaded extract, install and run the PBP Unpacker.

8. Now use the PBP Unpacker to open the 3.03 EBOOT.

9. Once opened extract the "Data.psar" to the root of your memory stick.

10. Now run the Psar Dumper, press X at the menu.

11. Open the newly created folder F0, and copy the following files onto your computer:

F0/vsh/resource/lftv_main_plugi n.rco

F0/vsh/resource/lftv_rmc_univer panel.rco

F0/vsh/resource/lftv_rmc_univer 3in1_jp.rco

F0/vsh/resource/lftv_rmc_univer panel.rco

F0/vsh/resource/lftv_rmc_univer panel_jp.rco

F0/vsh/resource/lftv_rmc_univer tuner.rco

F0/vsh/resource/lftv_rmc_univer tuner_jp.rco

F0/vsh/resource/lftv_rmc_tuner_ jp_jp.rco

F0/vsh/resource/lftv_rmc_tuner_ us_en.rco

F0/vsh/module/lftv_main_plugi n.prx

F0/vsh/module/lftv_middleware .prx

F0/vsh/module/lftv_plugin.prx

12. Shutdown the PSP and startup the recovery mode.

13. Connect PSP with USB to computer.

14. Click advanced, then Toggle USB (flash0).

15. Copy the lftv files ending in .rco to vsh/resource/

16. Copy the lftv files ending in .prx to vsh/nodule/

17. Scroll to Back, press X, scroll to Exit, and press X.

18. Load Location Free, and set up your settings.

# REAL Firmware? — Guest 2007-02-04 08:18

Does this work with the REAL FW 3.03 form Sony?

# OMG, no way!!!! — Guest 2007-02-04 08:20

All i can say is Hells yeah! This is amazing, i had 3.03 oe-c and am glad to see dark alex doing his job. I quickly downloaded the file and began the flashing process, i new what to do, its easy. And now im proud to have 3.10 oe-a. YAY!

Suggestions : If u are looking to play ps1 games on the psp, i would reccomend CloneCD to rip your PS1 disk to an IMAGE file and Popstation to convert it to a EBOOT.PBP file. I like CloneCD, its quite fast and relizble. =)

# NO — Guest 2007-02-04 08:22

Just take some of your precious time and read the forums. You CAN'T do anything unless you downgrade your PSP to FW 1.50. THEN you can install custom firmwares. If you have 2.80 or lower, you can do it quite easily. If you have 2.81-3.03, you can downgrade only with original UMD of GTA LCS (unpatched 2.00 version,not the patched later one). If you're on 3.10, you're screwed (for now). My advice - if you plan to downgrade, find someone who knows what he's doing, REALLY.

I had this problem too. I fixed it by going to the system settings and choosing "restore default setting". It's a pita because you have to redo all your setting like entering you WEP key for your wifi connection. But everythings working good now.

# PAL GAMES WORK WITH 3.10 OE-A!!! — Guest 2007-02-04 08:54

PAL Games work properly with this version! I just loaded up Tekken 2 which I had ripped earlier on. I remember earlier today I played it on 3.03 OE-C and it did'nt fit the whole screen, it was a little off. But I just loaded it up now after upgrading to 3.10 OE-A and it fits perfectly. So yeah, for all Europeans/Australasians/Other PAL people we can finally rip our games and play them hassle free!

# OE-A/B is fine — Starayo 2007-02-04 09:50

You can install it from any of the OE versions since it rewrites the flash.

# noobz — Guest 2007-02-04 09:53

all you friggin noobs you can install this from any firmware that has kernal...and yes you cant change your icons or else your psp will semi-brick and forget locationfree player many ppl dont have it so thats y its been left out...if u want it use devhook or use pimpstreamer...

# vice city stories crash — Guest 2007-02-04 10:22

when i use the vice city cheat device, the game crashes on this custom firmware. 3.03 worked with it. help?!!

# yes u can — Guest 2007-02-04 10:31

you can use locationfree in 3.03OE-C ... it was left out due to room restraints... you dont need to use devhook, and pimpstreamer doesnt allow for watching live tv or remote control of your devices from a wan such as LF does....

I currently am using 3.03OE-C with locationfree... I tried 3.10OE-A and reinstalling the locatinfree with the instructions above but it did not work, so I reverted back to 3.03OE-C..

I understand that alot of people do not have a LF player, but for those that do.. its nice to be able to use it along with ALL of the homebrew options such as pimpstreamer etc....

# yes — Guest 2007-02-04 10:37

I had the same problem.. I reverted back to 3.03OE-C

# im pretty upset — Guest 2007-02-04 10:40

i put 3.03 OE-C on my psp recently and now i cant use locationfree player. nowhere does it say locationfree player will stop working. and i followed all the directions perfectly becasue i never did anything like this before. whats the deal, am i the only one?

# . — Guest 2007-02-04 10:49

You need to do your research.

Since 3.03 OE is just an updated version of 3.02 OE, that means all readme's from 3.03 OE-A all the way up to 3.03 OE-C are relevant.

Same goes for 3.10 OE

And the 3.02 OE-A readme clearly states.

"* Because of necessity of flash0 space, the location free player and korean font has been removed."

# first of all — Guest 2007-02-04 10:51

the locationfree was removed do to lack of memory space... you can add it back ( just read the replies here, I posted a howto)

# recover — Guest 2007-02-04 10:56

I have 3.03OE-C...What I did, was to enter recovery mode by holding the R when booting.. once in there, I enabled usb flash 0 then copied everything from there to my computer... I then did the same for flash 1 ... after I upgraded to 3.10OE-A, I did not like that I could not use LF Player and my browser didny work.. so to recovery, I booted up holding R again, enabled flash 0 and copied my files back to the psp.. same for Flash 1... now its back at 3.03OE-C ...

hope this helps.. I dont know what you would d o if you didnt copy the files over first...

# PSOne ISOs — Guest 2007-02-04 11:33

How much more compatible are games such as FF7, FF8 and others that had random glitches. And how well do the PAL games work? (I've been using Paladin to convert mine). Also, can anyone shed anymore light on the non functioning PSP Web Browser, 'cus i'm used to the interface of the official one and dont really use Links. Though, if I can play my ripped FF8 PAL straight off, I'm quite happy just to use Links as a substitute.

# way to go — Guest 2007-02-04 12:00

thank you Dark Alex

# There's — Guest 2007-02-04 12:01

a lot to explain. First off. NEVER update using network update again. You'll thank me if you get through this. if you have firmware 3.02, you need to downgrade it to 1.50, then update using Dark Alex's update. This'll give you access to all of sony's newest firmware features, and will also alow you to run all homebrew.

# Upgrading from 1.5 — Guest 2007-02-04 18:08

Hey, I have a FW 1.5 and have been thinking about upgrading but have not due to not knowing enough about some things.

I play a lot of emulators like gPSP, DGEN, SNES9X, Nester J, and UMD Emulator. I Also run iR Shell, Ace Dictionary (Which is missing a lot of words), and DEVHOOK .46.

What I would like to know is what will I gain by upgrading, and what will I lose, and what are any risks besides bricking? I heard from someone that there is an upgrade where I can still use all my favorite things, and also play PSX games, but I am not sure what it is, and how to go about it. I know it's kinda a noob question, but honestly I haven't kept up with the everchanging evolution of the psp; mainly I have just stuck with my 1.5 abilities.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

# retardation — Guest 2007-02-04 18:12

# umd games wont load — Guest 2007-02-04 18:36

# Read Instructions — Guest 2007-02-04 18:54

Jeez, cant anyone read the instructions.

This is a full flash, not a update.

So no you don't have to go to 3.03OE C to flash this, you can do it on your firmware right now.

# re:jamie m — Guest 2007-02-04 19:01

I agree with Jamie M. You know there IS a reason DAX releases his firmwares with the update maker and not some pre-made DATA.DXAR file. If you have a TA-082/6 and you use a DATA.DXAR from another mobo it triples your chances to brick. It takes under 2 minutes to complete all steps. Just do it and be safe.

# why to upgrade — Guest 2007-02-04 19:02

The main advantages are that you can run iso's straight from the ms without using Devhook. You can play all of the UMD games for each firmware. You get all the new features that sony made in the latests firmwares (exept for location free player). You can run homebrews made for any firmwares.

However if I were you I would get 3.03OE C instead of this one, because many things still need to be worked on.

And Believe me if you upgrade you wont regret it.

# cso confirm? — Guest 2007-02-04 19:08

Can someone confirm this?

I'm not going to upgrade if this is true.

# locationfree CAN work — Guest 2007-02-04 19:11

there is a way to get locationfree to work. It involves using Flash agent to delete the extra languages to free up space on flash0 and flashing the locationfree files from 3.03 into 3.10 oe. I did it and it works. I found a walkthru on a forum somewhere but i forgot where it was sorry. google it.

# n00b — Guest 2007-02-04 19:15

Put your homebrew in Game150. Not Game or Game303.

# N00BZ READ THIS!!!! — Guest 2007-02-04 19:24

Most 3.03 oe plugins are tested and working. Im using Custom firmware extender v1.2 and it works flawlessly. Even vcs cheat device iflasher for 2.71 se-b works perfectly! My Custom fonts, gameboots and coldboots that I used in 3.03 oe-c work fine, but my custom topmenuplugin.rco (for custom icons and text) bricked it. Good thing i made a backup with DAXs recovery mode! Anyway after reading some of these posts, maybe I should put some more detailed n00b-friendly directions.

You can upgrade from any 1.5 capable firmware without worrying about bricking. That includes 1.50 and any SE or OE firmware. This also works in all PSP systems, reguardless of motherboard. The 3.10 OE update formats the flash before copying it's own files, so you don't have to worry about any remnants of old firmwares causing bricks and it automatically disables your plugins before the first start-up... just in case. Also make sure your battery is fully charged and your PSP is plugged in. That said, lets get started.

1. First, you will need to download and extract the 3.10 oe files here" "http://exophase.com/files/psp/310oe_a.rar".

2. Next download Sony's official 1.50 update here: "http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/4".

3. Then extract the file called "EBOOT.PBP".

4. Rename that file to "150.PBP" and place it in the "oeupdmaker" folder located in the "310oe_a" folder you downloaded first.

5. Then download Sony's official 3.10 update here: "http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/1037".

6. Extract the file called "EBOOT.PBP".

7. Rename that file to "310.PBP" and place it in the "oeupdmaker" folder located in the "310oe_a" folder. (right next to the 150.PBP from step 4)

8. Now would be a good time to copy the contents of your memory stick to your computer and format the memory stick. (Not required but a good idea)

9. Now copy the 4 folders from the "310oe_a" folder (oeupdmaker, oeupdmaker%, 310oeflasher, 310oeflasher%) to "ms:/PSP/Game" if you are in 1.50 or "ms:/PSP/Game150" if you are in any SE or OE firmware.

10. Now close your USB connection and go to the "game" menu of your xmb and run "3.10 OE-A Update Maker". This is the white icon, not the red one.

11. If everything went right so far you should just let the program run and it should have no errors.

12. When it finishes (should take less than 5 minutes or so) open up your USB connection and navigate to "ms:/PSP/Game(150)/oeupdmaker/".

13. There you will find a file called "DATA.DXAR". Select and cut that file (ctrl-x).

14. Now navigate to the "ms:/PSP/Game(150)/310oeflasher/" folder. Paste the DATA.DXAR file here (ctrl-v).

15. Close your USB connection and go to the "game" menu of your xmb and run "3.10 OE-A Firmware Install". This is the Red icon this time.

16. Just let the program run for a few minutes until it says something like "Manually restart, Press X Shut down".

17. Press X, wait a few seconds and turn your PSP back on.

18. Now praise god because you are now in 3.10 OE-A!!!!!!!!

19. Now format your memory stick again and copy everything back on that you backed up in step 8.

Now all of your homebrew apps and games should go into the "ms:/PSP/Game150" folder and Sony's official stuff should go into "ms:/PSP/Game" or "ms:/PSP/Game303".

All of your "legally backed-up" UMDs iso or cso images should be placed in "ms:/ISO".

just a question from a curious guy.

# bugga — Guest 2007-02-04 19:56

If you have the official (Sony) 3.10 on your PSP, then you have NO way of installing/running any of the OE firmwares.

Sorry.

Castlevania Symphony of the Night is really Glitchy in FW 3.10 of course this isn't Dark Alex's fault it's Sony's. In SOTN when you run as a wolf, there are black squares where your shadow is supposed to be. Same thing happened when I fought Orlox, and other various enemies. Also the game now randomly freezes. It's ashame because the the PS1 emulator in FW 3.03 was just about perfect for SOTN.

# d — PSPZorZ 2007-02-05 09:30

Well actually, once you get the locationfree flashed back to your PSP, it'll be a lot easier to use it... you wont have to load devhook every time you want to use locationfree, plus locationfree will load a lot quicker because flash memory loads quicker than the memory stick (which is where you load devhook from)... Also, you don't need to waste space on your memory stick for devhook.

P.S no it's not $400 it's under $175 on ebay, and why diss sony for actually adding a freaking feature that is usefull.

# UMD EMULATION — Guest 2007-02-05 15:27

It's the umd emulation fault. 2.71 SE had a much better no-umd emulation mode. You will need to change the mode in RECOVERY MODE.

BTW: To get to recovery mode, turn off your psp.

Hold R trigger button whilst switching on the power switch.

Once in recovery mode use the D-Pad to move to configuration and then press x. Then scroll down to Use NO-UMD. Press x until it says (currently: disabled)

Select Back (press x) and then scroll to exit.

NOW your iso's ***may*** work, so long as you have ANY umd in the drive.

Another useful option to set is now in your XMB. Disabling UMD auto-start. That option can be found in system settings.

Hope that helps

This Cost me 80AUS...alot less then a new PS thats for sure.

Anyways

I bet you have a cheap no genuine Memory stick...like me..which has currupted vital flasahing files after ur xtraCTION but before you started flashing.

POINT

NEVER USE CHEAP MEMORY CARD FOR VITAL WORK SUCH AS FLASHING. THE VITAL FILES MAY HAVE BEEN CURRUTED BY THE POOR QUALITY FLASH MEMORY CHIPS AND YOUR PSP WONT KNOW THE DIFFERNECE UNITL YOUR VE JUST FLASHED UR PSP WITH A CURRUPT FIRMWARE. THEN ITS BRICKED

Get the 1.50 and 3.10 official sony firmware updates and name them 150 and 310 respectively. Copy the oeupdatemaker files to the game folder and put the renamed sony updates in the folder without the percent sign. Run the program and it will make the data.dxar file. Copy the oeflasher folders to the game folder on the memory stick and put the data.dxar file you made into the folder without the percent sign. Make sure the battery is charged and run the oeflasher program.

To solve the "The game could not be started (8002014c)", here is what I did:

1. Held R while starting up PSP (shows recovery menu).

2. Picked config

3. Selected the game folder option

so that it said "game folder 1.50 kernal" (just push X once where it says "game folder 3.10 kernal") .

Good luck!

# dirty 2.71 downgrader FULL ver. to 1.5 to 3.10oe? — Guest 2007-02-11 11:50

Can you go straight from 2.71 using the old self installer, (the one with the wierd robot voice) to 1.5 and then to 3.10 OE-A?

Or do I need to "clean" the frmware with a upgrade and downgrade again?

# From 3.03 OE-A to 3.10 OE-A — Guest 2007-02-11 22:54

I'm currently running 3.03 OE-A, I can just go ahead and install 3.10 OE-A directly or I need to update to 3.03 OE-A', 3.03 OE-B and 3.03 OE-C before try to install 3.10 OE-A?...

Yes, I know, I'm n00b and that's why I'm here asking about this ;)

# Praise be to the Almighty Sony — Guest 2007-02-12 02:47

My younglings, be calm with yourselves and your small insignificant PSP's. One day you will all realize that Mr. AleX never was; his fictional existance in short was for Sony's benefit and theirs alone. It was created by Sony to exploit the many dimensions of the PSP. The fictional character Dark_AleX and all its attributes were created for pure advertisment. Sony created firmwares and Dark_AleX for their own ambitious reasons; some being that they wanted little preteen children to mass themselves around the world of PSP, to sell, to obsess, to usurp, and assume they have overwhelming control around the technical language of cryptography. You've all been dooped, Mr. AleX has never been. Even the undiluted platinum mod chip was created by Sony themselves. It is all under thier control. You have all lost my dear mentally defective simpletons. Licensures or not, Sony only cares about one thing... Sales. Which you have all so ingnorantly helped improve.

It has been fun my younglings, do keep in touch. You are all very very very special...

# this update probably doesnt suck — Guest 2007-02-15 18:14

you need to set up a RECOVERY folder in the GAME folder with the 1.5firmware eboot, but rename that eboot UPDATE.PBP then... completely shut down your psp...wait... restart while holding the right shoulder button and choose RUN PROGRAM AT /psp/game/recovery/eboot.pbp

i hope thats accurate

there is a search bar near the top of the page...

i searched 2.71 ta-082 and found http://pspupdates.qj.net/index.php?pg+49+aid+77460

you should take a look at that

if you mean 3.10sony firmware and not Alex firmware then no ..you must be at 1.50 or any custom to upgrade to this. also i dont think there is a downgrader for 3.10 yet but i think there is for 2.81. you could look around tho...

# Socom FTB2 v1.1 and custom 3.1oe firmware problems??? — Guest 2007-02-18 13:03

I was playing infrastructure mode last night with custom 3.1 firmware. To play online I needed to download updates from Sony. I think it checked for the firmware on the PSP to allow play. It worked for about 45 minutes then all of a sudden the PSP shut down and wasn't able to turn on until I plugged in PSP into the wall.

I now go to FTB2 and it says that is is patched with v1.1 on the Game->Memory Stick tab and when I try to play it says that I can't play FTB anymore. It won't load. ANyone know if Sony sent out some possible little thing in the update to try and brick your PSP?

# Help to get started — Guest 2007-02-18 16:36

Help!! I'm years behind, I'm still using Firmware 1.50. Where should I start to get it up to 3.10? Should I..

1. Download and install firmware 3.10 now? or should upgrade one firmware at a time?

2. Then Download and install 3.10 OE-A?

# yo — Guest 2007-02-18 17:20

everytime i run update maker it stops at 3.10 unpacking and extracting files wat am i doin rong?

# update maker problem — Guest 2007-02-19 08:08

3.10 OE-A update maker made a 0byte DATA.DXAR file?

is this right?

# I have an issue. Please help. — Guest 2007-02-19 08:18

This is my problem..

6. Run the program (labelled "3.10 OE-A Update Maker" on your PSP) - this will automatically generate the DATA.DXAR file using the two firmware files (it will take a few mins, and will automatically close when done)

the file has been made. but the size of it is 0bytes.

# 310oeflasher turns off console! — Guest 2007-02-25 01:11

I have been using the Dark_Alex customer firmware for some time and have updated about 3 times, yet for some reason when I try to run 310oeflasher the PSP logo comes up and then a few seconds later the PSP powers off. Battery is 100%, the DXAR checksum is correct. Was originally trying to upgrade from 3.03 OE-A so upgraded to 3.03 OE-C first, and following a successful upgrade to OE-C tried it again but it does the same. I have set the homebrew through the recovery to 1.5 but it still wont have it. Anyone else having this problem?

# possible — Guest 2007-02-25 01:17

so u dont need umd emulator/fastloader with any of the OE-A firmwares. KL but still having trouble wid da iSo folders n stuff

# Upgrading from 1.50 — Guest 2007-02-25 01:17

I was in the same boat and I had to upgrade one at a time. I think now however you can just load up say 3.03 OE-C straight away. Im running a JAP PSP and I'm having trouble with the 3.10 OE-A.

# 0 byte DXAR — Guest 2007-02-25 01:20

It's my bet the update maker is failling over when trying to build the file. Keep an eye on the screen when you run it and wait for any messages to come up. It will just reboot if it fails so you may miss the message. Chances are the firmware files are wrong (310 is no longer the latest from Sony as they are giving out 311) so be sure you have the 310. Also check to make sure you have enough space on memory stick.

# ISOs — Guest 2007-02-25 01:23

Just stick them in an ISO folder in the route of your memory stick, IE. D:\ISO\ where D is your memory stick.

# Now... — Guest 2007-02-25 01:25

its time to upgrade to a custom firmware - I would never go back to 1.50 after running Dark_Alex firmware!

# Any help downgrading? — Guest 2007-02-25 03:29
