how to avoid bricking your PSP

I know that when you use 1.5 app, it have direct access to the flash rom.

that mean that any software you install could potentially brick your psp.

is there any utilites that preventing installed programs from changing the firmware?

also this tool will be usefull if it prevented sony from updating your psp incase one of my friend tried to update my firmware when he want to play his game


regards

good point unbricker.

I don't think their are any such utilities though.

Off topic:I love this site personally I think it's the best psp site there is. However I think Ihateusing2.5 and spongefreak52 are two of the most annoying members on this site has they post useless uninfortmative crap just to bump up there posts. I appreciate that you two know your stuff but posting unuseful rubbish that doesn't help anyone is pretty annoying

Precautions you can take are :

Avoid p2p downloads like torrents etc...
Only download from reputable sites (And tried & tested stuff)
There is a trojan checker (no guarantees) .. I think it is here or on pspupdates

Same here.

as soon as Ihateusing2.5 starts posting inside a thread, you can be sure only unproductive comments start flodding and the thread itself will loose its intentional topic.

i'm very soothed this guy is no moderator in this forum. even his signs s*ck hard as they enormously increase downloadtime of this forum when opened with a PSP.

there are *very* good alternative PSP forums out there...with MUCH lesser childish members. just take a look at http://forums.maxconsole.net/ for instance.

Greetz,

Gekko

there is a program called PsafeP,

it runs on the PC and scan the software if it will access the flash mem to read or write.

having said that, no garuntee but better than nothing.
