Because you can't get to Recovery Mode anymore you are 100% Grade A screwed.

Don't delete things if you you don't know what you're doing. ><

PSP Life: TA-082 2.5 -> 2.71 -> 1.5 -> 3.03 OE-C (Semi brick) -> 1.5 -> 3.03 OE-C -> 1.5 -> 3.03 OE-C -> 3.30 OE-A -> 3.03 OE-C -> 3.30 OE-A -> 3.30 OE-A' -> 3.03 OE-C =D

Well its okay to get XMB's if you read the readme, and you should've been on 3.03 OE C in the first place because nothing works for 3.10 OE

I'm assuming you flashed a topmenu_plugin.rco to your psp since it originally semi bricked and your icons disappeared. Try returning it to walmart and say you dont have the receipt. Tell them it was a gift and that you would like to exchange it for a new one because when you turned it on it didnt work...Note for the next time, dont delete files...copy over them instead with the original. And remember, topmenu_plugin.rco is not able to work on 3.10.

instead of everyone ripping him a new one, why not offer help? i;m sure he's aware now that he screwed up, but lame comments like "dude, your 100% screwed", is just plain lame. anyways, enuff of that... here's what i suggest. easy, pain free, but does require you to "pony up" 150 for a new one. go to your local walmart,or target.purchase a new psp,go home, swap your bricked psp.drive back down to walmart/target explain some BS story "i already got one,the person you got for has one", etc. BAM. new psp,money returned from walmart/target. i've done thos twice with psp's, and numerous times with other products. you pay cash, you get cash.credit./debit.goes back to your card.check,i believe they mail you money back.so go with cash/card. hope this helps you, and others in "enjoying" walmart/targets return policies

...was just trying to offer an alternative...
and like wal mart doesnt "steal". is there a problem stickin' it to a major corporation? i suppose you buy all your games, music, movies and what not.
anyways, flame away. for those who think like me, thanks for not flaming.
...just remembered why i dont post here.
if any other "brickers" need help, check the forums at psphacks.great site,good help,nice peeps for the most part.
