Cipl Flasher Insta Brick Fat PSP


Posted on Apr 5, 2013 by Massive Wombat

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Install PRO CFW (above 6.20) 2. Install Cipl flasher. 3. Restart PSP.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? It get full bricked. I have pandora and i tried alot of times, becouse the fast recovery annoys me. It full bricks, then i unbrick with pandora and if i do the stept above the same happens.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Tested: PRO-B8 6.39, PRO-B9 6.60, PRO-B10 Fix 1 6.60, PRO-C fix 3 6.60, PRO-C2 6.60. PSP is 1001 with TA-81 motherboard.

Please provide any additional information below. The only thing working is the 6.20 bootloader. I really wish this to be fixed. Also there is a posibility this being a psp problem, but doubt it becouse 6.60 ME works (PRO BETTER THAN ME!)

It might not work because you used ME before. Installed the Cipl flasher on my PSP1004 and many more other Pandorable units without any problems. Did you remember to disable all plugins before using cipl flasher ? You probably have some incompatible ones enabled.

It isin't the plugins, i checked+ i dint have any and dint know they exist when i was testing. I guess il have to go with LCFW... Maybe there is a way to load up the firmware wiwhout cipl flasher?

If you used an older, pandorable CFW like 5.00 m33-6 - It already included a CIPL and it still remoains on your MMS. You might have to use your Pandora and MMS to install a fresh copy of 5.00 OFW (not CFW), format your MS (or use a different one) to remove the MMS CIPL, update to 6.xx OFW and then instal the appropriate 6.xx PRO-C with the proper CIPL.

It's impossible to Pandorise a PSP-100x without a battery. Using a recovery flasher doesn't remove everything from flash that might cause this issue from the PSP's flash, only overwrites the existing data. If you didn't need the Pandora battery - then your PSP was not bricked. Use a pandora Battery to completely format the flash of your Fat before installing OFW.

I´d similar problem today and i solved it. But in my case, the real problem wasn´t the cipl flasher. I forgot to return the pandora battery to normal state, after do this, everything worked.
