What is the difference between a semi-brick and a real brick, I know that OE firmwares can unbrick a semi-brick, but is it possible to fix a real brick?

What would one have to do to make a PSP really bricked, and what would you have to do to make a semi-brick.

On a Custom firmware like 3.03 OE- C it is possible to fix a full brick.

Shutting your PSP off during a firmware update or an unsuccessful downgrade would cause a full brick..something like flashing a bad gameboot would most likely cause a semi-brick.

So if I totally mess up the PSP, say failed a firmware upgrade/downgrade, I can fix the brick with 3.03 OE-A?

i think that a full brick is when we can't acess recovery mode,and if we can't acess recovery we can't fix it

or exists another way to fix the psp?

Pretty much unless you delete the recovery by hand it will still work.

So would it be better for me to buy the Undiluted Platinum or just get an OE firmware? If I fully brick my PSP with OE can I buy the Undiluted Platinum and then put it on then fix the brick?
