PSP Primal Tools is a compilation of all those tools that we are talking about. It's now time to talk about one all-in tools, Hellcat's Recovery Flasher.
Hellcat is one of those developers that, with every release, remembers us that the PSP Scene is not dead.
Recovery Flasher, originally released at eXophase, is an all-in tool that helps us to make very different tasks.
Latest version, 1.60, has the following changes:
* Updated 5.00-M33 installation to revision 6
* Changed autonaming of new backup folders to include date, firmware, psp model
* Made the resurrecion.prx replacement function working on all DDCs from 6 and above
* Added detection of PSP 3000 and PSP 2000 TA-088v3+. Flash writing functions will be disabled on those PSPs as they are not CFW capable and flashing would result in a brick
* Added support for "Firmware Packs" - these, like addons, packs will eliminate the need for a complete new release only when a new (C)FW is released. Instead of releasing a new Recovery Flasher itll just be such a pack, enabling Recovery Flasher to install the new firmware until an update of the main app is done that supports the firmware natively. Can/Will also be used for making Recovery Flasher install CFWs not supported, like GEN and such.
* Added complete checksum-check of the updater .PBP going to be used to avoid corrupted/incomplete .PBPs causing a brick
* Added full verify of the NAND dump that got written to be sure you have a good one
* Added detection of HEN mode
* Added detection and proper handling if a backup set contains OFW instead of CFW (like when made from HEN)
* Added better NAND dump handling. New dumps are now created with names similar to the (new) backup slot names (and now go into /flash-nanddumps), incl. an ID for the PSP they are made on, on NAND restore a list is shown with all available dumps matching the ID of the current PSP to choose from (the ID matching should prevent choosing a wrong dump accidentally)
* Added back/cancel on backup creation and restore
* Backups made from HEN mode are tagged to identify them as containing ORIGINAL firmware (as those backups do!)
* Changed autonaming of new backup folders to include date, firmware, psp model
* Made the resurrecion.prx replacement function working on all DDCs from 6 and above
* Added detection of PSP 3000 and PSP 2000 TA-088v3+. Flash writing functions will be disabled on those PSPs as they are not CFW capable and flashing would result in a brick
* Added support for "Firmware Packs" - these, like addons, packs will eliminate the need for a complete new release only when a new (C)FW is released.

So, what we can do with this tool? As HellCat said, "recover semi-bricks * up-/downgrade your CFW, flash *ANY* CFW directely to almost any other, backup/restore firmware flash (not NAND dump), make and restore NAND dumps, >> all without Pandora << " To this you should add the option to restore many settings and to make a Pandora Battery if needed directly within the app!
Damn a great tool that should be always on your Memory Stick.
