[welder2002]

no the update is the one i get fron the net form playstiaon not sure why it saying cant play game dadadada as i like to link to ps3 and i cant till i update it

[tonybean]

could be because there is no umd inserted .. if your updating from memory stick put the starter pack umd in and try again

[welder2002]

[welder2002]

if nothing else works use a pandora battery and memory stick to install the firmware.

[welder2002]

thanks thats super rite so its a psp 1003 im sure the fw is a cfw now what up date fw r u trying to put on2 it?
as im sure ur trying to update to far (ie from what ur on to say 6.20) so that will cause u probs the other thing is i dont think u can go back to ofw from cfw just like that without causing problems

what i think best for u to do is lookHERE & do as it says then get back to us if it works then ill get u on to the latis cfw homebrew
