Here's a puzzler for you guys. I grabbed the software, followed instructions, and flashed the new firmware. Things worked fine, personal info, customization, the works. But then I tried to connect it to the USB cable...

First attempt, it connects up to the computer, but the screen just stays as it was, no switch to the "USB connected" screen. After disconnecting and reconnecting the usb cable, it turns off as soon as the cable is plugged in, and won't turn on without using the reset button on the back. Ditto with inserting a memory card.

I managed to resolve this by leaving the SD card in and usb unplugged on resetting, going to "firmware update mode", and running Sony's updater. Then I tried to do it again, thinking I'd made some mistake the first time, but with the same results!

So now I'm back to firmware 1.1 vanilla, no customization. Any ideas?


***EDIT*** OK, I've got it working now, I was using 1.1, seems that switching to 1.3 was what it needed to work. Still, I suppose that kind of thing is something to make note of

Also, I note that the credits seem to be much shorter in the modified firmware than unmodified. Not really important, but something else to make note of
