=====================================================
* 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 <<
=====================================================
What is this? And why?
========================================
Short version:
--------------------
- Flashes a fresh M33 CFW (everyone from 3.71 up) for recovering semi-bricks or to up-/downgrade CFW
- does not use Pandora, runns from the recovery menu or the XMB
- does not use (as in launch) the original Sony Updater (only extracts all required files from the original .PBP)
- runns fine on CFWs lower than 3.52-M33-3 - handy for upgrading older FWs w/o the "need to go 3.52, then 3.52-3, then higher" odyssey
- runns fine from TimeMachine (3.40-OE on Fat and 3.60-M33 on Slim)
- can backup the FW flash and restore selected parts (XMB theme, settings, PSN activation, complete firmware)
- can make and restore full NAND dumps
Long version:

Can be found the the README!
Latest Update:
--------------------
v1.60
- 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" - theese, 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 it'll 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 propper 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!)
