A post in the psp hacking 101 forum has said that you can PERMANITLY brick your psp by breaking the NAND. No NAND= NO PSP WRITING ANY FILES=NO PSP DO NOT WRITE FLASH 1/2/3

That is why you should backup your NAND and keep it safe. That way if you ever do come across this issue you can possibly recover the PSP by restoring your NAND back to it.

If you do try to restore the NAND (last resort) make sure it is a copy of your NAND dump only. Do not use anyone else's.

My PSP wasn't bricked or anything and i used my pandora battery and magic memory stick on it to bring the Pandora menu up and triedto restore my NAND that i dumped earlier and all it said was that it was gonna fix some keys or something and then it said that it could not open the file...how come?

Rename it to nandimage.flash but as I said you should only do this as last resort.

Yeah...I agree with you there...I'm just curious because flash0 and flash1 are the only available flash backthen but now flash 2 and 3 are can now be accessed too so I'm just curious and saw that it has nothing inside of it....
