When I pressed HOME button (when playing games), there are no words shown on the screen (just two horizontal lines) but only clock, date and battery status(top of thescreen) are visible.
Is this related to the firm ware? or dun say that my psp is being bricked?

Uh, I haven't heard of anyones firmware spontaneously being bricked. Unless you are changing the firmware I highly doubt that is it.

Hey guy I've just updated my PSP from v1.0 to v1.5 officially.
Is this causing my PSP bricked? However, I'm a Homebrew user (just Device Hook and UMD Emulator).

Ok first, your PSP is not bricked.
Next, when do you have the problems when you press home. Are they when you are running the actual UMD, or emulating an ISO. Because while using UMD Emulator I have had similiar problems of having lines across the screen when I press home. If they are when emulating an ISO that is fine, and it is natural to see bugs in homebrew software.

But my cousin's PSP doesn't show any strange problem (similar to this) when emulating an ISO using UMD Emulator and DEV Hook.

I've never had glitches either, but as Ultima X said, it is homebrew, so it could be put down to that. Do you only get graphical glitches once the home button is pressed? If you're getting graphical glitches in the game that's a completely different story.
People need to stop using fad words willy nilly, a "bricked" psp is a psp that has had it's firmware chip flashed incorrectly, if you had a psp you'd know about it, trust me.

No, it has no relation with graphic.
It's just when I press HOME button. The grey screen appear as normal, but there're no words! Just two horizontal lines.
The game quits as normal when I press X button (sometimes O).

That last bit of your post has me worried, you mean you can press the circle button to quit once you've pressed the home button? That should only be possible on a japanese psp, and it should never be either or. I know jap games i've got (bleach eg) whilst in game the circle wokrs as x on non jp systems, but even when i press home in them i still can only press x to quit, o cancels it.
Where did you get your firmware from?
edit oh ok, just noticed you had a 1.0 originally... I have no idea bud, doesn't sound normal to me tho...

The button changes everyday. I dunno why. Sometimes O or X. I think this is to make us stay concious when exitting a game.
How about the two horizontal lines problem?

Er... Actually I never ends my games using that HOME button, I like to shut it down (holding the power button) directly rather than quit that game before shutting it down.
Is this damaging my PSP?

Wait a second man, mine only ever allows me too quit using the x button after pressing home, 0 only ever cancels it.
So are the two horizontal lines there when you press home or not, cause you just said there you don't use home you turn it off.. ??
Wouldn't think it would harm it, but i'd still recommend exiting using the home button.

Now, in my PSP, O button is to confirm to quit, X is to cancel...
Though I get two horizontal lines in my PSP when I press HOME button, I still can quit by pressing O button. Just I can't see those texts.

Since it was 1.0, was it a jap model? I would have thought because you upgraded to 1.5 the firmware would have made it so that X was exit that's all, like mine, i thought it was firmware dependant, but obviously it's not...
If that's wrong i'd say you got a japanese firmware from somewhere and it's not displaying the english text, but that would be absolute crazy talk, so i tip my hat to you and leave, cause i got no idea bud, sorry.
Someone might be able to help you, i'm definately interested as what's causing it.

Ok, well yes the X and O thing is because you have a Japenese PSP. Jap have O for confirm and X for cancel while others have X for confirm and O for cancel. There are programs to switch that if you really want to change it.
And even if your friend's does not show it, I don't think it is anything wrong with your firmware.
Personally I think there is nothing wrong with your psp, there are always chances that game systems will work somewhat different (maybe they were built with slightly differnet parts). Now if I were you I wouldn't worry about it, but other than what I have said, I don't know what else can be wrong.

The only v1.5 update released was for the Jap firmware, becaus the US came with 1.5 pre-installed. So if anything I would think the update would change the buttons towards the Jap configuration, but it obviously doesn't because I have used it to downgrade before.

Hey guys, how about the word-less problem when quitting a game (by pressing HOME button)?
One more thing, sometimes the colour of the words(when HOME button is pressed) changed(to high contrast colour).

Like i said keep us informed.

Use PSPset to change the buttons. I am not sure if it switches in game buttons, because I think the game is what configures that. I might be wrong tho
Download it here

Be careful with the stuff that you change, because this app does alter the firmware so it does have a chance of bricking your PSP! However I don't think swapping the buttons should be that risky.

OK your psp is not bricked (i hate it when ppl say that, but it's life).
If you use any homebrew that writes to flash, eg. umd emulator, lua player, etc. there's a CHANCE that this will happen. When you upgrade all it has is lines/blocks/thingy. but ive never heard it happening in HOME.
Just go to restore system settings, itll be fixed. but youll lose all your settings, like time/date, etc. it's like getting a new PSP. but you will not lose any saved data.
I was told to change my sig so I did this.

my 1.50 psp with ridge racer occasionally does the same thing regarding the no word and 2 lines situation. thing is, if i go left on the direction pad and select the usual quit button, it quits as normal. its like it is showing black text on a black screen. as to the X and O button situation, would that be related to a jap game on a brit PSP and or vice versa and whether it was in emulator or UMD mode? either way, its an irritation rather than an actual problem
game on

Then will it restore the firmware data (in both flashes)?
As someone may accidentally removed or added some unused data into the flash... ...
