I really hope someone can help here.
I had a 1.5 psp running 3.02 OE-B but i think its now bricked. I tried to use themepsp and the metal gear theme, but after it has installed it now wont boot properly.
I can get into recovery mode and i have all the files set correctly, but everytime i try to get it to load the eboot it just freezes on the purple recovery screen.
Anyone got any ideas? its TA-082 btw

Do you actually have recovery installed?
You can stiil access the menu even without recovery installed.
Hook up your PSP to the PC and toggle usb in recovery mode, scroll to your GAME folder or GAME150 and see if you have got a folder called recovery in there.

'Because official SCE updaters don't work in that 1.50 kernel environment (because they need some vsh files
not available), i've included with this package a flasher that lets to flash any official update from
1.50-2.71 to your psp.
To use it, copy the files inside inside "flasher for recovery/RECOVERY" in /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/
and the official SCE updater renamed as UPDATE.PBP in the same directory, and run the program
through the recovery option.

Another alternative for recovery is to reflash the own 3.02 OE-A.
To do this, copy the EBOOT.PBP of oeflasher to /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP along with the
DATA.DXAR file, and run it through recovery.

i dont think u installed oe-b properly, the DATA.DXAR file is made in the installation process
Quote:
Creating the DXAR file
----------------------

- Copy oeupdmaker and oeupdmaker% to /PSP/GAME/ if you are using 1.50 firmware and to
/PSP/GAME150 if you are using whatever version of 2.71 Se.

- Get the 1.50 and 3.02 sony updaters in the oeupdmaker folder with the names "150.PBP" and "302.PBP".

- Run the program. This program won't write to the flash, it will just create a file called DATA.DXAR in the
same directory (oeupdmaker).

- The program will verify that the SHA-1 of the generated file is correct.

- Once that you have done this, you can save the DATA.DXAR file to skip this step in the future.

Still nothing. The fact that its a TA-082 doesnt make a difference does it?

i think you have to rename to UPDATE.PBP AND NOT UPGRADE.PBP

Just try this, download the 3.02 OE-A,B and Recovery from my sig, replace the Recovery folder on your PSP with this one.
It might not work but anything is worth a try.

1.5 does not have a recovery mode! maybe to put in a game with higher firmware like 2.71 and try to upgrade! if it works then you can downgrade back to 1.5 again..
