deleted some stuff... tried to put in custom theme using recovery menu, now my psp does the welcome screen, goes to white and turns off after a bit.
and like an idiot, i don't know what happened to my backup. anyone have a flash0 backup i could use? would that even work?

3.40 oe-a

I don't have a backup of 3.40 but I'm sure you could find the files if you really wanted. Since you're bricked right now you could use the pandora's battery mod. I've wrote a tutorial for it in the tutorials section. A link is on the front page.

i have a backup copy.not sure how i can get it to you though.

You can host it on an upload site and give him the link.

I did exactly the same on that firmware. What files did you delete exactly? Was it from the VSH (at least i think its called that) folder? I just used recovery mode to go back to 1.5 then to 3.40 OE-A. If you can still access Recovery you should be able to fix it hopefully. I'm sure theres tutorials on here or on the net about how to do that.

tried to recover back to 1.5, but i couldn't really see what was happening on the update screen, it was mostly white.

files i deleted:
flash0:/kd/usbcam.prx
flash0:/kd/usbgps.prx
flash0:/vsh/nodule/camera_plugin.prx
flash0:/vsh/nodule/photo_plugin.prx
flash0:/vsh/nodule/rss_subscriber.prx
flash0:/vsh/nodule/update_plugin.prx
flash0:/vsh/resource/rss_subscriber.rco
flash0:/vsh/resource/update_plugin.rco

files i replaced:
flash0:/vsh/resource/01-12.bmp
flash0:/vsh/resource/game_plugin.rco
flash0:/vsh/resource/gameboot.pmf
flash0:/vsh/resource/impose_plugin.rco
flash0:/vsh/resource/opening_plugin.rco
flash0:/vsh/resource/photo_plugin.rco
flash0:/vsh/resource/savadata_plugin.rco
flash0:/vsh/resource/system_plugin.rco
flash0:/vsh/resource/system_plugin_bg.rco
flash0:/vsh/resource/system_plugin_fg.rco
flash0:/vsh/resource/topmenu_plugin.rco

Once your finished with that, you can reflash your custom firmware...theres a couple of winstallers on that link as well for a few different firmwares.

When your ready to put on some themes pm me and i'll guide you through it.

never delete the files before you past the new ones, just overight the existing ones.

From the looks of the files he deleted, he was trying to free up flash0 space so he wouldnt semi brick with his theme.
But your right, never delete something unless your sure it will work. Follow tutorials.

yeah, and still if your trying to replace some files to free up space, I know you might have read somthing saying you can, It's always safer to put something in it's place. It may take up a bit of the free space, but it's better than a brick.

thanks guys, it's working fine now.
i'll be more careful in the future. thx again!

No problem! that's what I'm here for
