semi-bricked during theme install...

Ok for starters its a psp fat, running 3.52 m33.

So i downloaded "Custom PSP theme pack March 07 Edition" from http://www.pspbrew.com/?page=fileInfo&cid=5552&d=4357 with all sorts of icons, menu styles, backgrounds, ect in it.

So then i extracted the files from /Custom PSP theme pack/Ready Made XMD's/Gears of War/

and it extracted a 'f0' folder on my desktop

I started the PSP in recovery mode then down to 'advanced' -> Toggle USB (flash0)

I chose the view files option.

Then i opened 'f0' and dragged and dropped the 2 folders that were in it, "font" and "vsh", to my flash0 folder on the psp.

then disabled usb and exited USB mode to hopefully enjoy my new theme....

nope. Black screen, "sh*t.. ok", Hard Reset...........

.......psp main screen boots up, "looks promising"... Custom theme semi loads then nothing. All i am seeing is a custom fancy loading icon in the lower right corner as it loads and a custom battery icon in the upper right. Then after about 10 seconds it shuts off.

So thats where i am at. I was an idiot and didnt make copies of flash0 before editing it. It was 4am as i was doing this so i more than likley wasnt thinking straight.

Is there anyway to download the default "font" and vsh" folders so i can just override this custom theme and have it boot as normal?

Can someone with 3.52 m33 chime in on how to run the recovery 'run program at' function. It is set as a default to /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP

I do not have a "RECOVERY" folder under /GAME/ can i just make the "RECOVERY" folder and through in the the EBOOT.PBP file? Something like the 150.pbp i used when downgrading and installing m33.

Sorry for the long post but i wanted to be clear on every step i took.

Thanks

Thanks for the tip.

After reading this guide, http://www.pspbrew.com/forum/viewtopic. ... 6724#86724 , i feel that i might still be able to load a custom theme and get everything back to normal all via recovery mode.....

We'll see... maybe i should just go back to 1.5 and start all over.

I have been wondering also how to use the Recovery thing, just if I wanna downgrade back to 1.50, so we do have a tutorial and stuff for it?

Fixed

Ok, so i found the RECOVERY folder files online somewhere, and i downgraded to 1.5 again with them. Now im just about finished installing M33 again.

Looks like ill just have to be a little more careful when flash is involved...
