Hey guys. I'm kinda new here to the community so I don't know if I posted this on the right section. Anyways, I got a prob with my psp-1000 ta-079v1 mobo and its a full brick I guess. It was a 5.00m33-6 when I last used it and I think it got bricked because I was using some .ctf themes.

Well I tried using dc8 and hangs on flash0. Then I tried using keycleaner to check my idstorage and its ok according to the program. I then used nandtool, dumped my idstorage and the corrupted nand and did a check, about 19 bad blocks. I tried repartitioning but it says not enough space for lflash (or something like that). I also tried to google on it but to no avail I did not find anything. Another problem was I didn't know about this nand thing before my psp got bricked so I don't have any backups of my previous clean nand.

So what do you guys think? I have read that as a LAST resort, I need to flash a clean nand from a psp with the same model into my own psp. Should I do this? Well I have my idstorage fully intact and a corrupted nand as a backup. I also copied it on my computer (the idstorage) as a safety precaution. Another prob is I don't have access to another fat psp since this model is kinda old. Where do you think I could get this clean nand file?

I'm not sure with this method that's why I'm posting, kinda newbie and noobie to the psp scene lol. I hope you guys can help me, I don't want to buy a new one, this psp has well.... sentimental values for me :D And if my english ain't so good, pardon for my incompetency. Good day :D

Ok so I successfully loaded DCv7 4.00m33 using rain's mms maker since IPL won't inject for the 5.00m33 and I tried to install 4.01m33 and it hangs at formatting flash0.. any ideas?

fabledj18 Suspended account

is ur battery charged past 78%? wat do u mean wen u say u successfully loaded the 401 m33? do u mean u just got the mms made successfully? wen u made the mms did u check format stick and in the bottom drop down menu choose inject ipl, and create folders(the bottom choice)?

if it dnt work try going fora lower fw. if that dnt work try the 150 classic pandora option and uprgrade using the guide in my sig(150>352>401>500) <--its simple really
