New Recovery: an application for your recovery needs

Posted Apr 4, 2007 at 10:29AM by QJ Staff Listed in: Homebrew Applications Tags: kgsws, XMB

There's a new recovery homebrew application that is called, well, New Recovery. It was created by coder kgsws, and QJ.Net Forum member myschoo was good enough to share it with everyone else. One good thing about this is that if you prefer the original recovery menu, you don't actually need to flash this as you can just put it in as an EBOOT.

The program itself, not the EBOOT one take note, contains the "recovery.prx" file as well as various language files such as English, Slovak, and build-in Czech. Other features include Theme Settings and on/off toggle for the XMB background. And did we mention that New Recovery can display 15 PRX modules? We didn't? Well it does (5 XMB, 5 GAME, 5 POPS).

New Recovery, like most homebrew applications, comes in with a Readme file so be sure to browse through that first. It tells how you can tinker with your PlayStation Portable's (PSP) old "recovery.prx" and even replacing its language. If you're really that nifty, you can even change the color of your original recovery menu.

Thanks ikrnboi2xi for the heads up!

STFU and talk about the app you retard. Looks cool. I'm trying it out now. I always thought someone should make this (just like people revamp the devhook menu, the recovery menu should be customized too.)

# Lol — Guest 2007-04-04 05:26

Yea u fkin loser, nice app, downloading now :)

# Language — Guest 2007-04-04 05:32

nice going guyz keep up the good work

ps: does this brick psp or na because some are scared right now

# .. — Guest 2007-04-04 09:26

No, you can only use this on the Official 3.30 Firmware...

# Eboot works... — Guest 2007-04-04 10:39

But the flashable PRX did not (3.10OE-A'). I nearly perma-bricked. Holding R during boot to activate it black-screened, then would not even coldboot. Removing and reinserting battery allowed it to coldboot, then I had to use USBSSS to copy recovery_old.prx from flash, then place it on my memory stick and use IRShell to run recovery and reflash the old version. -.-

# noob mistake — Guest 2007-04-04 11:16

rename d recovery.en to recovery.lng read the readme's my god hehe i done the same mistake srry for d bad english im PR

# dw — Guest 2007-04-04 12:26

If you flash this and your PSP bricks, it's ok, you can just use recovery menu to save it!

Oh wait...

# yo — Guest 2007-04-04 12:32

14th, YES

# i dont trust this... — Guest 2007-04-04 13:31

looks nice but ill wait and see if there is gonna be an update saying that there is a bug or something.

# BRICKED — Guest 2007-04-04 13:50

MAN! I used the PRX on 3.10 OE-A' and permanently bricked my psp :(... it wont even coldboot now or anything :( :(

# sdg — Guest 2007-04-04 19:11

its works good no bugs yet and i used every thing there

# haha — Guest 2007-04-05 00:32

Look at all these people who have bricked their PSP's... This stupid recovery menu does not even have any new features. All it does is make your PSP look increasingly unprofessional. You don't need to fuQin customize everything about your damn PSP.

# Give a better description — Guest 2007-04-05 00:45

Please qj if you would have told people the firmware they could use it on there would have been a lot less bricks

# NOT a Perma-brick — Guest 2007-04-05 03:09

Read my comment that you replied to. Just remove and reinsert the battery, my friend, then it should coldboot. Then you can do what I did to restore the old recovery menu.

# ok — Guest 2007-04-05 07:57

you guys have to read the read me thats why it says rename the first recovery to... i dont remember but you cant delete it

# stfu — Guest 2007-04-05 08:39

In the main menu go to "run"(Third of the bottom).

And choose "old recovery"in the middle.
