(Another) Info update for PSP upgrading and downgrading
If you guys have been following Fanjita and the Noobz team’s details on their Flash Cleaner idea, do keep reading – up ahead is an update. Don’t know what we’re talking about? Here’s a rundown:
The Flash Cleaner program they’re developing is supposed to help fix the “8001001C when starting ipl_update.prx” error code that sometimes pops up for PSPs after repeated cycles of upgrading and downgrading. According to them, this error was caused by corrupted data in the PSP’s memory stick.
Getting back to the report, here are their details on the error cause:
It seems that if you have a memory stick with corrupted data on it, then it can give the 8001001C error mentioned in the previous article, when you try to run the downgrader. Fixing the corrupted data fixed the problem.
The moral of this story is that it is best to run any downgrader on a totally clean memory stick – format the stick on your PSP before loading on the necessary files. And if you are having problems running the downgrader, try using a disk corruption fixer (like ChkDsk or the disk repair tools in Windows) on the memory stick, as it may fix it.
There you have it – a relatively simple solution for the problem. We’ll let you know in case they turn out new info into their latest research project.
