Can someone please tell me how to backup the flash0 files. I now have 3.52 M33-4 working properly. I really want to have some custom themes with waves etc BUT i do not want to do anything until I have backed everything up. I've read in many places that you should back up your flash0 files before flashing a theme, and I want to do that first. The problem is I dont know how to back up the flash0 files, I've been looking around different forums but cant find any info. Can someone please tell me how to back up the flash0 files and if theres anything else I need to back up before flashing a theme? I really dont wanna mess anything up.

Thanks

Hold down "R" when booting up. Goto advanced --> Toggle USB (Flashx) or under configuration set XMB USB device to Flashx OR in VSH Menu (has to be on under config) change it and open USB mode.

Connect to PC and there will be a drive (provided you have a MS in PSP).

Copy the files to PC.

If you brick mount is flash again (if xMB dont work use recovery mode again and put the files back on!


---------------------------

If you have a spare Memory Stick and Battery you can use service mode (Pandora's battery) which is even better than recovery, but for themes this should be fine!

Also make sure the theme matches the firmware.

Even if you dont have a backup you can install 1.5 via recovery go choosing "Run game at ms0:/PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP
