Your psp probably wouldn't load the eboot from the recovery menu because you didn't put an SCE update in there. Get the 1.5 update and put it in ms0:/PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/UPDATE.pbp Make sure you have the recovery folder that came with 2.71se in the GAME folder as well.

Yeah, the update isn't included. Toggle the usb on and download the official 1.5 update and put it in ms0:/PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/UPDATE.pbp gotta rename your update to UPDATE.pbp Also, if there wasn't a Recovery folder in GAME in the first place, you will need to get it from the SE-C folder that you downloaded.

This is from the SE-A Readme...it still applies to SE-C though.

Run program at /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP. This is what currently enables to recover a
semi-bricked psp (e.g. the vsh doesn't show, but you can reach the recovery mode).
Despite being in the game folder, that program will be executed in 1.50 kernel, so if even 2.71
kernel is destroyed, that program can be run.

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.

There is an eboot.pbp in recovery, but I think you also need the 1.50 update renamed as UPDATE.pbp.

If you have 2.71SE there is a function that allows you to hold R after a cold boot and enter a recovery mode. From there you can use the usb and reflash your psp from a partial brick. If you have 2.71SE and don't know how to use the recovery, i suggest you read up on it...cause it's a lifesaver lol
