Need help installing 6.60 CFW on PSP 2000 Date code 7B.

I've tried both 6.60 ME-2.3 ME and 6.60 PRO-C2 with CIPL and they don't work.
The former goes through it's process, but it doesn't change my firmware.
The latter installs the firmware fine, but the CIPL doesn't make it stay permanent.
The motherboard version I am on is TA-085v2.

The system is on 6.60 OFW right?

It was on 6.20, I updated to 6.60 then 6.61 then downgraded back to 6.60.

Hmm, I don't think the downgrade would have messed anything up but does a LCFW work? not saying stay with it but does it at least function as it should? If yes then the problem seems to be the CIPL which when dealing with that thing it can get tricky.

Just to be sure when installing the CFW you made sure it does not have plugins or the such in the memory card then while on OFW ran the OFW version of the ME installer?

If that also fails then you might have to use a pandora battery to install the CFW.

Can it be that your HOME button is stuck?

Because the ME CFW booted into OFW Mode when you keep HOME pressed.

Can you post the guide for a pandora battery CFW install? As for LCFW, I don't know what that is. Would PRO-C2 be considered a LCFW? Lastly, I formatted the card each time with only the files that came with said CFW.

Can it be that your HOME button is stuck?

Because the ME CFW booted into OFW Mode when you keep HOME pressed.

I removed the faceplate, so I doubt it's stuck. Is there some other way to test?

[fate6]

PRO does count as an LCFW if you do not use the CIPL flasher and based on the OP it seems that works fine but it can't flash the CIPL to make it permanent?

As for Pandora well that is where things get tricky since your PSP is capable of using one but it can not make one so you will need a 1k to do it or mess around with the little board in the battery by cutting it open(would not recommend), Now once you do have a pandora battery you can just use DCv9 to flash 6.60 ME(1.3 iirc) then update to the lastest from there.

You could also try using a OFW update again to hopefully clean everything then try 6.61 ME or something.

Well, it is a stuck home button... /me Facepalms! Unplugged the bottom button assembly and low and behold it boots! Now got to figure out how to fix this... Last quesiton, 6.60 vs 6.61?

[Casavult]

6.60 has more homebrew compatibility (plugins, ctf themes, etc). 6.61 has PSN access (play online, ect). Personally I'd say stick to 6.60 but the choice is yours.

Id say go with 6.61 since I have yet to find anything it won't run.
