Plugins ? hi formated MMS and reset Settings of FW - so 1st no Plugins on MMS (Formated) - PSP FW problem (No reseted) - the 3rd option is some many wrong changes in CFW settings - that hi propoble get (Uninstall CFW will remove it) or secend option get to recovery of CFW and reset to defoult it.

But kind wird - u can mess much on PSP CFW setting ,PSP self ,install many and have on plugins and no problem u can install OFW on that. So that wird why for him not work simple OFW install - also no reboot manual it needed and not act like on yours writed words

If i haved on my PSP that problem or buyed witch something example next to colection PSP and know i have pandora and perm hacable PSP i was no thinking and make Pandora nad MMS on 2d PSP or PC MMS and hardmode pandora and reflash ALL LIKE CLEAN FORMAT in PSP then install on FRESH all 100% clean the 6.61OFW+CFW

U have such problem so Pandora and MMS ->5.00M-33 CFW->OFW 6.61->PRO-C2 cIPL and 100% sure of 100% working PSP

So I can only fix it with Pandora battery, (yeah, I also would like to start a clean installation, but I dont have one) there Is no other alternative?
I even tried to disable all plugins in recovery, and still nothing.
Here are some pictures of settings, in case I have to change/enable anything:

Also can't find any reset to default in recovery.

I dont remember what is like suppost to by ,plugins some sometimes do such some stuff when wonna update/dawngrade FW but - u formated MMS so NO PLUGIN work in bacground. S if u have still that problem only CLEAN - Pandora+MMS install fix that problem .

I have one question - did MMS before all worked 100%? ,Format in PSP 100% no error . U trayed delete MBR sector of MMS on PC and reformat it on PC or PSP to defoult MMS card format?

Thats wird imo that MMS work ,PSP reset+format MMS and u can launch to start the OFW installer - becouse mus work normal

Hmmm, Could be a bad download of the update? Try letting the PSP itself download the update via the option in the XMB?
Honestly im not sure but buntcher brings up a good question in does the memory stick work correctly? is it an official or knock off?

If all else fails then yea pandora and an MMS should fix it.

Well, finally, after many attempts, I managed to launch 6.61 OFW update, but installation failed at 89% with error code LPTFFFFFFFE :cry: .
And I believe, I’ve had the same error code when I’ve updated from 5.XX CFW to 6.60 OFW, which might explain one of the behaviours of not shutting down instantly, or even freezing on restore to default settings.

In order to launch the update, I did some “bending” in the MMS side of PSP. Yeah, the PSP has already fallen a few times, though, not in my hands :).
I suspect some hardware issues on the MMS reader, but doesn’t make any sense, cuz it always worked fine on 5.XX, and if it was that, PSP wouldn’t even be able to show anything on XMB, or it could have been just random luck, due to the corrupted firmware.
I remembered doing this on 6.60 CFW in the beginning, it kinda helped launch the games, but it could be just a placebo effect.

And I’m using a Sony MagicGate Mark 2, so I think thats not the issue.
Trying update through XMB online, would say it was on the latest firmware.

Now it’s on 6.61 OFW, there’s no recovery menu, looks clean but still keeps hanging when manually shutting down and freezes when restoring to default setting, so it’s not perfect.

Now, next step is try PRO-CFW and see if it will work better this time.

tray for 100% Pandora an MMS if still PSP do that wird stuff that propobly some hardware problem so no software fix that. Maybe the MMS card slot in PSP broke.

But u can also tray that and check how PSP will work.

Make Pandora+MMS and run 5.00M-33 CFW from MMS no from PSP hardware - and then check like work - test open something ,play game ,copy ,restore to factory setting etc

After a lot of struggle, I've managed to install pro-c with infinity cfw. :D

There is definitely some hardware problems with the mms reader on this psp, I had to slightly bend it back and forth on some installations, to force it to read the mms, or else it would just shut down.
I almost though I did bricked it, after the installation of infinity firmware flasher, it was only showing black screen. I also had to run twice, the pro-c update after infinity, in order to install it.

When turning on the psp, it stucks on a black screen, until I bend it, and it also helps when shutting off, it goes much faster.
So far, I just tried a game and its working. :P

Have to thank you all for the help :)

"pro-c with infinity cfw" what? Infinity CFW or Pro-C is . U propoble thinked abou PRO-C2 witch cIPL (Perm patch). Becouse u cannot have especial Infinity and Pro-C in dual boot CFW (U can only Pro-C and ME have but in LCFW mode only)

Tray clean PSP MMS reader witch celan air dust - clean pins ,open PSP to clean check if something is broken .
