Possible bug in 3.51 M33?

[razero.we]

Can some one explain why the PSP Spot and the P-TV signs is showing in my EU 3.51 M33?
This happens when i play a game more than 5 minutes and after that the M33 settings is corrupt. Its so annoying...

Go to Recovery and Fake Region to Eur or American.

Change region settings in Recovery menu.

What happens after 5 minutes?
Well, maybe your flash1 is corrupt itself, cause only you have such problems here...

[blazer12345]

go to recovery mode then into configuration and disable umd region if its enabled and see if that fixes because the only time p-tv and the icon appear up is when you fake your umd region to japan its the only idea i have left ive never had this problem..

[razero.we]

no fake region is enabled i dont understand why this happens...

[razero.we]

its only happens when i have a wallpaper and i have tested with fake region but thats not working and when i turn off the psp the setting goes corrupt if inm not changing them the P-tv and the Ps spot icons are gone

[mrdude]

Use the 'flash1 formatter' program posted here, run that eboot (read the readme first) - format your flash 1 and re-enter all your settings. Then your psp will be working fine.

The reason those icons are showing is because the psp thinks it's from a japan region - obvioulsy just a glitch in the settings (which are stored in flash 1).

[razero.we]

already tried it not working...

[blazer12345]

have you tryed restore to default settings? in system settings

[razero.we]

but why does it belive that its from the japan region?

[mrdude]

already tried it not working...


No you probably just deleted those files instead of formatting the flash - believe me there is a difference, and as you're asking why the psp thinks it's jap I have already explained - your flash1 is corrupt so format it.

[razero.we]

and the enter button is now circle...

[razero.we]

when i did use the restore setings it came up a bsod screen and it shut down and when i started it again it choosed only japan settings...

[razero.we]

its more japanese than ever now...

[jbsnibz]

LISTEN to mrdude.. trust me the EXACT same thing happened to me.. i upgraded to 3.03 oe-a 3.30oe and 3.40 oe and it did the same thing.. format your flash 1 and it will work..

[razero.we]

i have already done that...

[Ryupower]

use an psp app
CALL Fash1 Formatter v2
http://pspupdates.qj.net/Flash1-Formatter-v2/pg/49/aid/80787

i had it same thing happen to me too use this app fixed my psp

and
is your psp from Japan?

[razero.we]

No its a Eu psp and i have used already format my flash...

PSP-1004 is a Eu PSP...

[mrdude]

No its a Eu psp and i have used already format my flash...


Are you fucking thick - you can't format the flash1 with a pc it won't work properly due to the file system, you NEED to use the app thats been posted, for fucks sake if you are not going to take our advice don't bother asking for it.

[razero.we]

i used the flash 1 formatter so don't flame me i'm not stupid... i think you missunderstod me...

[r35w37]

did you used an easy installer for the 3.51 m33 or created your own? try to create your own 3.51 m33 eboot.pbp using both US version of 1.5 and 3.51 eboots.

[razero.we]

I did not use a easy installer i did make my own...

[r35w37]

have you tried reflashing 3.51 m33 using another eboot (from an easy installer)?

[razero.we]

i trying that hope it works...

[milkawax]

Think he used the japanese eboot of 3.51 ore something...

Leech eboot of 3.51 again from other download site and make sure its not the japanese one....
And better search for an new 1.5 also for secure

then go and flash the psp again with m33 and make sure to reset all settings via xmb before you do it and all will be ok....

[StoneCut]

You can also *force* EUR region in the recovery menu as a cheap workaround to your problem.

[razero.we]

i am making a new one and i did use this one...
http://dl.qj.net/Official-PSP-FW-3.51-PSP/pg/12/fid/14003/catid/163
is this the wrong file?

[razero.we]

and this file...
http://dl.qj.net/PSP-Firmware-1.50-File-(EBOOT)-North-America-PSP/pg/12/fid/163/catid/163
is this file wrong?

[StoneCut]

You know, you can edit your old post and add to it, too ...

Anyway, as far as I know the update EBOOTs are the same for everywhere in the world. There is no difference. For what it's worth, however, I used this 3.51 EBOOT and everything works fine for me:

I'm not convinced you properly reset your PSP, however. Either way, in the end - why not simply set the region to Europe in the recovery menu and switch X and O buttons back there, too ? It's just registry hacking anyway.

[razero.we]

tried to re-flash the 3.51 m33 but the icons is still there and the enter key is now X i don't get it...
and stoncut when i force it to eu the icons are still there...
and i reset my psp properly. im NOT taking out the battery while my psp is running.
