Recovery Flasher v1.30 - Console Spot Forums

Peza · 08-26-2008, 09:29 AM

Homebrew developer Hellcat has released an update to his application, Recovery Flasher, bringing it up to v1.30. Recovery Flasher is basically a utility that can be used to recover from semi-bricks and install 3.71 or 4.01 M33 firmware, all without the need of Pandora.

One of the most notable newly added feature to this update is the extended functionality of the backup/restore options. Which means you could flash a backup of a complete firmware onto another PSP regardless of what that PSP's current firmware is. More info in the changelog found below.

Here's the full changelog for v.130:

Quote:

* changed the path where the Pandora RFLASH.ELF looks for the original
EBOOT.
It now looks for the EBOOT as RFLASH.DAT (simply rename it) and when
not found it looks for /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP
.
* added detection of TimeMachine and disabled backup/restore functions
on there, since they don't work propperly on TM.
Complete firmware restore (see below) DOES work fine and is still
enabled on TM.
.
* added "slots" for the backup functions.
With those you can have multiple independant sets of backups on your
stick and use them directely without needing to rename folders.
If you DO rename the seperate backup slot folders, their new names
will correctly show up in the Flasher - so you can give them
descriptive names that tell you whats in there.
.
* extended the functionality of the backup/restore options.
You can now restore a complete firmware (flash0) regardless of what's
currently installed.
The flash0 files' signcheck is removed during backup and recreated on
restore, so you can even move and flash the backed up firmware on
another PSP (as long as it is the same model, i.e. no Fat FW on a Slim
and vice versa, model is checked to match before flashing to avoid
bricks)!
This might also come in handy for people wanting to flash firmwares
not nativly supported by Recovery Flasher, like 3.60-M33, which never
can be supported since there's no updater for it to extract it from,
but with the right backup you can install it anyway.

Also note that for restoring a complete FW you also need the target
FWs official updater to be on the memstick (RECOVERY folder or
memstick root) as some updater modules are required for initializing
the flash!
(for 3.60 use the 3.52 updater.)

As always, you can find the download below. Make sure to check out the readme file, for installation info and other notes. Enjoy!

This has the same problem as v1.2 had,, it doesn't work for me at all, I'm still using the original version 1.
