Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
I just thought that these two wiki additions would help alot of people and keep 
them from asking redundant questions.  Feel free to add these to the Wiki 
Section.  :-) (I wrote these quickly, as the authors of the firmware, feel free 
to add to them, or edit them in any way)

How to update from 6.20 PRO B-x to 6.20 PRO B-x (one version to another)

When updating from 6.20 PRO B(x) to a more recent PRO B patch, it is only 
necessary to run the application titled "PRO B Updater".  This will update the 
firmware itself from its current version, to the newer version.  Just run the 
"PRO B Updater" and it will overwrite, and install the newer version of PRO.  
There is no real need to uninstall the earlier version of PRO in order to 
install the newer version.

When using the permanent patch, it is necessary to understand that the 
permanent bootloader itself does not need to be updated.  The boot loader runs 
the LCFW that is installed, regardless of version.  For example, if you have 
6.20 PRO B7 installed, and want to install 6.20 PRO B8, it is not necessary to 
uninstall the 6.20 PRO B7 permanent patch, and replace with the 6.20 PRO B8 
permanent patch, as they are the same.  Simply running the "PRO B Updater" will 
update your firmware, and the newer firmware will be run by the permanent 
bootloader upon starting the PSP.

How to Quickly Uninstall 6.20 PRO B(x) Permanent Bootloader

When you want to quickly uninstall the 6.20 PRO Permanent Bootloader, it is 
quite simple.  First and foremost, you MUST be sure that "vshorig.prx" is 
contained on the ROOT of your memory stick.  For example, where X represents 
the drive of your PSP, make sure there is a file present called 
"X:\vshorig.prx".  Once you are sure that vshorig.prx exists, you may continue.

Once you have verified the presence of "vshorig.prx" on your memory stick's 
root, run the application you used to install PRO to begin with, titled "PRO B 
Updater".  When you run this application, you will be prompted with a list of 
numerous options.  Included in this list will be an option titled "Press 
Triangle to Uninstall the firmware".  Press triangle, and the application will 
list all the files that were removed.  All of the files it removes, are the 
files that make PRO run correctly.  At the end of this list, if you had the 
permanent patch (otherwise known as the Permanent Bootloader) installed, it 
will say "Uninstalled Permanent Patch" and prompt you to Press X to launch 
Official Firmware.  Press X, and you will be booted back to the XMB, in 
Official Firmware 6.20, having removed 6.20 PRO, all of its associated files, 
as well as the Permanent Bootloader.
