please help — ark5 cipl did not stay persistent and potentially bricked my go.
i followed this mr mario tutorial video and now im pretty sure my go is bricked. i dont remember exactly what hack i was using before i tried installing ark5 yesterday, i just know i was already on 6.61 and it was an infinity hack that i installed in like 2021. it wasnt one of the other ones mr mario mentions in this video. i tried finding a psp go specific video that mentioned my cfw specifically but i couldnt find one.
mr mario did not mention anything about how infinity interferes with how cipl works, i had to find this out the hard way when i couldnt get it to work. mr mario also did not make it clear that for the go all the mod files need to be copied to the sd card, and NOT the internal storage, i also had to learn this the hard way. after installing cipl the incorrect way i thought i softbricked my system because the screen would turn on and the green wifi and blue bluetooth led would turn on then the system would shut off. i learned that pressing the ps button while turning it on got me back to the xmb, so that was a problem avoided.
once i figured all those things out and removed infinity, everything worked perfectly fine and i played the go for an hour with ark5 and everything working perfectly then turned it off. the next day i go to play it and my psp games arent showing up, just ps1 so i go and check and its somehow back to completely stock firmware.
okay, so i see if despertar del cementerio is still installed, and it is so i try to reinstall 6.61 ark, no dice, i get the error you see in the attached photo at like 90%. i try oem 6.61, same error at the same place. i try to boot 6.61 ark from the sd card, this works and gets me into the xmb but if i try to run cipl, it says its successful but on reboot it just crashes and shuts off completely. now when i try to just turn the system on regularly the green light turns on then after about a minute it turns off and nothing else happens.
if i press the ps button and turn it on it'll boot and say sony computer entertainment then the screen just turns white for a sec and it shuts off. once doing this i got it to show the initial process when you first reinstall the os but the background was white instad of grey like usual then once i entered in the time and my name and stuff the screen went white again and just shut off.
at this point i have no idea whats going on or what to do so i'd really appreciate some help on figuring out what to do. never in my life have i had so many issues with psp modding as i have with trying to use ark5 this week.
TL;DR, i tried installing ark5 cipl following a mr mario tutorial and now my psp go wont turn on unless i open despertar del cementerio, and i cant even get to the os unless i open it from ddc, but i cant actually reinstall the os, i just get the error in the attached photo. when trying to turn the psp on now regularly now it just shuts off after a few seconds without even turning the screen on. even pressing the ps button and turning it on doesnt work because the screen turns white after the SCI splash and shuts off. please help!
