I was putting those XMB themes into the flash0 folders and after turning off,I can't turn it on again.
I've done this a couple of time but not sure what is the reason making this to happen.
Can I format it?Maybe a virus got in? o_O
I can't even turn on my PSP right now,someone please help me.

There's no such thing as a PSP virus. It's likely the theme wasn't compatible with the firmware you are running.

If you hold R while turning on your PSP does it still boot to Recovery mode?

There are no PSP viruses. You probably just accidentally killed a file, or forgot to put one in when switching the theme. Themes that require you to write the flash are dangerous that way. I certainly hope you have a Pandora's Battery and Magic Stick ready - that's what you need here. If you have a backup of your flash from when it was working, just write that back. Do NOT write someone else's flash to your PSP! Otherwise, just use the latest DC from Dark_AleX to reinstall 3.90 M33.

No it's not booting.The theme is compatible for 3.90 m33.
And before I unplugged the USB,I saw a RavmonE.exe in the folder,and when I searched about Ravmon,it seems that it's a virus.Will it affect the PSP if a virus got into the flash0 folder?

Not sure if I killed a file.I just copy the theme file into it.
And I don't have a Pandora's Battery and Magic Stick =( Heard of it though.
And yeah,I backed up the flash0 files.

**I've fixed my PSP.Took it to the shop.
Thanks for helping,everyone.
