Hey, I had 5.00 M33 and then I decided to try and get 5.50 GEN-D, so I downloaded and installed 5.50 GEN-A, then GEN-B, then I attempted to install GEN-B2 (although I don't think it worked since the firmware still said 5.50 GEN B) and then I tried installing GEN-C and now the psp boots and then resets.

I can get into the recovery menu, but before the menu finally loads, it freezes and resets.

What should I do?

Don't install GEN-C, that one was crap and updating from there to GEN-D left some people (also some on this board) with a semi-brick.
Update to GEN-B2 and then to GEN-D.

Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

I went 4.03 (or .01) to Gen-C to Gen-D2, so I don´t think order is a problem.


Edit: I think d2 is the way to go, delete the old UPDATE folder and paste the GEN-D2 in there

Damn Right Brother

I just tried updating to Gen-D2, and it said it flashed successfully,but the problem still occurs. Here is a video of what happens: PSP Freezing

Edit:
Also, I think it might be an XMB problem, since that wasn't my theme before it started crashing. Just guessing though, I have no idea about any of this.

does it do like the video shows with and without a memory card? from a cold start holding the right trigger button can you get in to the recovery mode, does anything happen from a cold start by holding the left trigger button?

Ya, with or without a memory card it boots, freezes, then shuts off.

By holding the right trigger I can successfully get into the recovery menu, but holding the left trigger button just makes the screen go black for as long as I hold the button, then when I release the left trigger it shuts off.

Would you be able to give me a step-by-step on what I should do? Because I've been fiddling with hellcat's for two days and I can't get it to work.

the link above is a video step by step, iv'e read in other forums it is do-able but never needed to use the program iv'e been lucky. sorry no its not ill find the video link now Updated 5.00-M33 installation to revision 6
* Changed autonaming of new backup folders to include date, firmware, psp model
* Made the resurrecion.prx replacement function working on all DDCs from 6 and above
* Added detection of PSP 3000 and PSP 2000 TA-088v3+. Flash writing functions will be disabled on those PSPs as they are not CFW capable and flashing would result in a brick
* Added support for ?Firmware Packs? ? theese, like addons, packs will eliminate the need for a complete new release only when a new (C)FW is released. Instead of releasing a newRecovery Flasher it?ll just be such a pack, enabling Recovery Flasher to install the new firmware until an update of the main app is done that supports the firmware natively. Can/Will also be used for making Recovery Flasher install CFWs not supported, like GEN and such.
* Added complete checksum-check of the updater .PBP going to be used to avoid corrupted/incomplete .PBPs causing a brick
* Added full verify of the NAND dump that got written to be sure you have a good one
* Added detection of HEN mode
* Added detection and propper handling if a backup set contains OFW instead of CFW (like when made from HEN)
* Added better NAND dump handling. New dumps are now created with names similar to the (new) backup slot names (and now go into /flash-nanddumps), incl. an ID for the PSP they are made on, on NAND restore a list is shown with all available dumps matching the ID of the current PSP to choose from (the ID matching should prevent choosing a wrong dump accidentally)
* Added back/cancel on backup creation and restore
* Backups made from HEN mode are tagged to identify them as containing ORIGINAL firmware (as those backups do!)

this is the guide from http://pspslimhacks.com/hellcats-recover...n-for-hen-mode/
found on this page it says it does 5.50 gen-d http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&cli...0+gen+d&spell=1

Don't know if you've already did the steps above...but if you haven't then make sure your CXMB is turned off, if your running or ran a custom theme during the update it will cause problems.
