is there any chance that u can brick ur psp with a 3.03oe-c that is already made? or do u have toremake it? in the readme it says that there is chance of bricking. does this mean that u can brick ur psp that if u dont do it right, or u still have a chance to brick if u do it right, or both? cuz ive already made my 3.03oec, and it works (ive only tried it once) cuz i bought my psp in china, and it was already a 3.03oec... lmao so i bricked it and i recovered it wit recovery mode.... (PHEW...lol) so if i brick again, and recover, i will go back down to 1.5. is there any chance of bricking using the 3.03oec that worked for me the first time?( sorry for repeating the same thing so many times....) and in advance, thanx

You bought a pre-upgraded 3.03 OE-C PSP?!? Sounds fishy.

There is a very small chance of bricking it. Normal flashing program issues are easily recoverable with Recovery Mode. I'd say the only time you'd risk bricking is if you ever update to a later OE. Other than that, you should be fine.

as long as the psp works fine, i would keep using it. never herd of a new psp coming with a custom firmware.

Yea as long as it has recovery access, you should be able to recover it no matter what. Of course, there always a risk of bricking when install any FW on any PSP. But yea I've never heard od buying a pre-custom PSP. *Be careful with what you buy.*

hummmm....this gives me an idea about how to get homebrew out!

What if we all bought a PSP, loaded on the custom firmware, and then returned it? Some lucky person would get a custom F/W out of the box! Do this three or four times at your local gaming store, and bring more people to the scene!!!!

my cousion told me that in china you could say wat parts you want from a certain console lets say a psp and they would buy thell build it up for you, and only charge you half the price! I would really wanna see that in action, to be honest i belive it that that guy bought it out the box.

Everything should be the same when it comes to bricking and flash0 modification, as the D_A firmware that came with your psp should be the same as putting it on a regular psp console.

But if any system parts have been replaced or modified, then you should dig out information from the dealer that you bought it from; that is, if they know anything...

Overall, I think you should be alright, as there is recovery mode built in to all D_A custom firmwares.
