It's 18h!

Art has released X-Flash v18h, and fans of the custom firmware we like to call "3.03 Oh Yeah!" will be pleased at this latest version. The most notable addition to the X-Flash changelog has to be that v18h supports 3.03 OE-A, which means that custom users can mess around with their PSP just like they used to before they made the switch. Good times.

In any case, we'll be adding the changelog below. Be sure to check the readme and Art's X-Flash page for instructions on installing and using it, and be careful with this. Since it writes to flash, it's also got a chance to brick your PSP. Art won't be able to answer your questions for a day or two (he's going camping), so if you're a newcomer to homebrew, you may want to think about reading up on this app first. Enjoy the download!

Changes for X-Flash v18h:

  • Added support for Dark_Alex 3.03 OE.
  • Adjustment to topmenu_plugin.rco flasher to allow copy of decrypted 2.50 file to 2.71 SE installation.
  • The XMB Menu Editor is unlocked for 2.71 SE once the correct file is copied.
  • Program termination occurs if a mismatching registry version is found since the parental control setting will not be readable.
  • Added option to permanently remove Network Update functionality for the current firmware installation. This frees up a little flash space. Menu options reguarding Network Update are auto disabled if the above option is used.
  • Fix to Auto Restore routine. Auto restore previously only restored original menu labels for 1.50.
  • Added option to restore original XMB menu icons if a file with custom icons is being used with 2.71 SE or 3.02 OE.
  • Small fixes including firmware version specific dialogue in footer, and updated built in readme file.
Thanks to Bongoben, ~maniac~, aDcOoL, El Guayaco, and EvilSeph for all racing to send us the info.

Another awesome homebrew release. I love how developers need only a day or so to release the latest compatibile versions of their stuff, way to go everyone involved.

I bricked my psp while trying to upgrade from 3.02 0E-B to 3.03 OE-A.. but dont wory i know a shop that can bring it back up for 25 bucks and the best part is theyll make it to 1.5 for me.


   Re: FlarePhoenix (Unregistered) - 2007-01-05
 » Or...

You could just save that cash and use the Recovery feature that came with 3.02 OE-B. Read the Readme files with 3.02 OE-B.




And I think I got a semi-brick from using X-Flash. I applied the 13.37 firmware spoof, everything flashed right. Then I held down HOME to exit, and went to a full power off, but when I shut it back on, all I get is a black screen, with the backlight lit. Can anyone help me, or should I just use Recovery?

   Re: FlarePhoenix (Unregistered) - 2007-01-05
 » Well, no luck

Still bricked. I'm just going to recover back to 3.03 and see if that fixes it.

Flare -

Pretty sure that this doesn't support version spoofing on 3.03 OE-A yet, so yeah, think you're going to need to use recovery.
And yeah, I'd laugh my arse off if that other guy paid to do what he can do for free. lol

   Re: blackmobb - 2007-01-06
 » lol Snarg

Lol, he goes into the shop, pays, asks how long it will take, guy presses recovery and says Done.

   Re: FlarePhoenix (Unregistered) - 2007-01-06
 » Okay then

It says support for 3.03 OE-A, plus nothing in the readme advises against it, also, in the program itself it says you can return to 3.03 OE-A after spoofing by pressing Circle I believe. Nothing told me it wasn't supported, and the program virtually encouraged it, by saying I could return from the spoof. It's all cool now, I Recovered back to 3.03 OE-A (thank you Dark_Alex for Recovery), but since version spoofing is really about the only thing I would've used X-flash for, that I can even use right now, I think I'm done with it for now. Not that it's a bad program, because it's really nice, I just don't need it, and would rather not have to reinstall 3.03 OE-A again, since I have to reinstall CIntro and Gameboot from MS all over again when I do.

   Re: Snarg (Unregistered) - 2007-01-06

I hear what you're saying.
The only reason I didn't even try the version spoofing is because in the readme, it does imply that version spoofing is not yet implemented, if you read the feature list.
One of the features says that it's not yet implemented in 3.03 oe-a because it would require version spoofing to work.
