On and Off Bricking

[KidInfe4rno]

I recently picked up my old psp again (which was running 3.52 m33-4), so I then updated my Pandora with Dv8 and used that to get to 5.00 m33-4, followed by the 5.00 m33-6 update. However I now keep getting semibrick issues. Like after I use pandora on it to get it to 5.00 m33-4. it works fine at first, then the next day I wake up and its semibricked. And it starts to semibrick the day I use pandora on it, like sometimes it'll work and othertimes it work and then sometimes itll start by holding square. I have no idea whats wrong with my psp but so far it seems the only cfw that I managed to keep stable was 3.52 m33-4. Any help?

and Im using a phat from launch

could just be a hardware fault or that your mms is corrupted by either a fake ms( non magicgate supported). try to retry to make a mms

Sounds like a hardware fault to me...

my mms is a sandisk magic gate mem stick duo. 128mb (hence why I only use it for pandora)
and yea im believing its a hardware fault. Ive flashed it to no availe and yea...Each time I wanna play it, i have to try to turn it on multiple times, then to just get it to work, normally have to use my pandora to restore it to 5.00m33-4. Could that cause any potential damage? Any fixes? or am I just gonna have to grab a new psp (I got this one at launch so its meh baby lol)

well, you could send it in if sony still repairs 100X's
or you could buy a new one as you said, but, bevareful when buying a new one, make sure the FW is below 4.01OFW if its a slim or 3000 becuase, then, you wont be able to install CFW

Unbrick your PSP to 5.00 M33-4.

Try to format and repartition lflash when on 5.00 M33-4.

Use NandTool 0.4 NEO or DC7/ DC8 to do the repartition.

Reinstall the custom firmware (5.00 M33-4).

Hmmm wouldnt I get in some trouble if the sony guys got a psp with cfw on it? haha Obviously id drop it back to ofw but figured itd be fun to say that

O, trying what jx233 said for now. I formatted lflash and chose both options for Nand in DC8 so im hoping that entails repartitioning it. And i reinstalled my cfw. Hopefully all will go well. Its normally a delayed brick so ill need to let it cool for a hour or two


EDIT: No luck
