OK i have CFw 3.71 M33-2.... on the Silver PSP slim (thanks to pandora battery and magic memstik) The only time i've really been able to get into recovery mode is after i put both the pandroa bat and memstik in it has to format flash 1 and reset the settings.... other than that i have to hold r trigger, and power on wait 5 or so secs and hope it gets into recovery mode. I never get the timing right. On count i might get into recovery mode 1/100 times.... is there any mods out there that can let me get into recovery mode easier?

sorry man no idea, im bored thosorry man no idea, im bored tho

Um what are you talking about? Holding the R trigger after a hard boot automatically gets you into recovery mode in less than 3 seconds.

WOW... dude easiest way to get into recovery mode is to start holding the r trigger before you power the psp on and dont let go until it boots into recovery... if you power your psp on and then hold the r trigger it'll give you the problems your having...lol

ya.. 10 time out of 10 time i also able to access recovery mode..

press r when rebooting

pressing select + r enters recovery in 3.40*v3, i tried it in the slim but what it does is enter the vsh menu, are there any plugins also available for 3.71 m33 in able to access the recovery menu at the xmb??? does the previous apps and plugins for 3.52m33 will also work for the slim???

Hey mate, I had the exact same problem with mine, but I found that by removing the battery and putting it back in I was able to get into recovery mode without any trouble. Not sure why, but this works for me everytime.

Maybe this is already a solved problem, right?
