| | |  A Few Questions Admin access, Sony, etc..
First, say "Noob A" bricks his psp by installing a fake downgrader on 2.1+ "Noob A" then returns it to sony, best buy, wherever he has a warranty, doesnt really matter where... The store he returns it to then ships it back to Sony I imagine (not sure but imagine so rather then just throwing it away which would be retarted) but now Sony recieves this dead PSP what do they do with it? Do they simply throw it away? Or do they simply re flash it and send it to "noob b" who returned his psp to sony probably from another downgrader incident? Basically what does sony do with a dead psp? Recycle?
Second, if we knew this "Secret Password" could someone make a downgrader? How is this encrypted by the way? Detailed if possible..
Third, I keep hearing all we have is user acess, can sony have admin access? How would this be done? Dev Kit? Hooking up through USB and using "Secret Password"? A UMD? Or is Admin access comletely blocked to all?
Final, i take it the psp has no "restore feature" meaning if your able to erase certain files (flash obviously) it wont just "restore" those files back to the original...
**EDIT** Another thing, when you update through the Network Update, is there anyway to LAN this and emulate the actual server its updating from?
Sorry if im dumb.. Just wondering about all these..

| | | | Cool thats what I thought.. Anyone wanna go further with the Password how its encrypted.. And how does sony reflash...
**Detailed with how the password is encrypted or source code even better.. Or link to source code just as good... Who found this out originally?
**Does a bricked PSP have flash access? Sounds stupid but... Oh well... anyone actually know? Is it hardware that denies flash? If its software, a bricked psp really doesnt have any, correct?

1) 'Bricked' is just that the FW files in the flash are wrecked/corrupted. Cos FW handles all the PSP hardware, if its wrecked, it wont turn on.
2) Returned PSP's dont have a broken warranty sticker. So sony are reflashing without opening the psp.
So how? Well, we dont know whether its inpossible throught the usb. But to enalbe usb on the psp requires... FW!!! So I doubt its usb. What are those lttle holes either side of the usb? I actually dont know, but then I never cared before..
Has anybody opened their psp and found out what the holes are, and if they can be used at all? |

I would think that they have a file on a memory stick, and that there is enough boot code in the bios to reinstall the flash. I truely don't know, but that is far more logical to me.

Points: 13.81 Donate | | | Yes, people seem to be getting new psp when they brick. But the question is about the bricked ones themselfs. Would sony just dump them? Or would they save parts and re-flash?
