[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]

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 (http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/781188) & do as it says then get back to us if it works then ill get u on to the latis cfw homebrew (http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/781188)
