brick = unrecoverable unless you have a pandora battery to write to flash
That's what I thought a semi-brick was, but I guess it's also used to refer to a lot of other errors.JJS wrote:a corruption of flash1 that gives you the blue "press x to reset your settings to factory default"
You don't need CFW to restore flash1. I've ruined flash1 on my 3000 plenty of times. BSOD will fix it.ruyor wrote:How about this:
Semi-Brick: The PSP can't get to the XMB but can display something on the screen (XMB background/Recovery/BSOD/RSOD), all of which can be fixed on CFW w/o a Pandora kit as long as the Recovery Menu is working.
Brick: No access to anything, just green-light>shutdown, must use a Pandora kit to fix.

Yes, that's right, but the point I was making is that all of the problems I listed under semi-brick can be fixed thru recovery on CFW, even BSOD using the "Format flash1" option (although it would be pointless to fix it this way unless the "press O" method fails for some crazy reason xD).MaX_SLayeR wrote: You don't need CFW to restore flash1.
