I installed devhook 0.46 using the ultimate installer. I used devhook to run my iso's. But i checked the umd loading and it did not run anymore. I noticed this after I played aroung with the flash in that devhook program. A blue screen came up with alot of white text. I forced restart and checked the firmware and it was at 2.0, yet I could still use homebrew from the game folder (meaning it was still in 1.5). I used mph downgrader to put the 2.0 back to 1.5. I loaded devhook again but it still would not load the umd. I tried different umds but it still would not work. I restored and reformatted the memory stick but still the same problem. I upgraded to 2.0 tried to run a umd (GTA liberty city stories) but still nothing. I downgraded back to 1.5 but no results. I tried using a different version of devhook (v.0.44), but still the umds refuse to load. I tried running untold legends (a firmware 1.5 game) without any iso loaders in firmware 1.5 but still nothing.
The umd drive-- when loading a disc it tends to make clicking noises. This happens everytime i put in a umd--regardless of firmware version.

Check the laser lense on the UMD Door. There might be dust on it, even though it sounds like your UMD Drive is shot.
