This will outline how to "install" a super fast shut down, and the ability to "reboot" the psp into umd . Considering how many times a day I need to get to recovery mode to flip settings while trouble shooting... I think this little trick will extend the functioning life of your psp by vast amounts.
First off, This tutorial requires you to mess with flash0 , Messing with flash0 can brick your psp. If you choose to try this , do so at your own risk, after reading the entire post knowing from the start if you mess up its possible to brick.
Firmware and settings I have and tested this on. If you dont use what I do i simply dont suggest you proceed.
psp with DAX 3.10 oea ta-082 having run the usbhost fix at lan.sh
NO other custom flash stuff done.
The only plugins ive used this with is usb/iso one listed in my other post. (bugs below)
I don't plan on doing any more "installing" of other things with out restoring the changes to impliment this. ie uninstalling it. just to be safe before upgrading FW , or installing other prx's.

Borrowed from the readme.

Press HOME + Select (PSP powers off in 0.5 sec)
To Reboot:
(requires umd in psp)
Press HOME + Start (THE Power LED will be flash 4 or 5 times the a clean reboot ** into umd)
Notes:
Rebooting Requires a umd to be inserted.
Clicking the network update icon in xmb while this is installed does nothing but activate shutdown option.
To activate Recovery mode using this, shut down then turn on while holding r.
If you reboot , it auto loads umd. Removing the umd disables the plugin. Not usefull to get into recovery.
Disables itself while in a game.
While using usb/iso plugin This plugin is disabled.
Known bugs:
If you only click x once on networkupdate icon and try to shut down it freezes. hit x 2 times.
Uninstall
Simply go threw the install procedures, but instead of using the file you downloaded for step number 4 , use the file from your "Flash0 BACKUP" file . Its named identically. Just change where you copy it from.

Cautions
Once you do this your going to think of how easy it is. And try it with another prx. If you over fill the flash you brick. Doing silly things like changing the backround uses flash space.... If your new to this , just be happy you got away with tooling around with your flash. Don't get creative on me and make me regret typing this.
