How to Unbrick an Infinity Soft-Bricked PSP

Infinity for the PSP features several button combinations which can assist in a situation where a PSP with Infinity installed might have been bricked. Although Infinity 2.0 has remedied much of the random bricking, a few users have still run into issues when installing and enabling Infinity before installing a Custom Firmware alongside it. This video applies to both Infinity 1.0 and Infinity 2.0, as long as Infinity has already been installed on the console. The process will cover recovering from a soft-brick, re-installing 6.61 Official Firmware, installing Infinity 2.0, installing a Custom Firmware of your choice, and finally enabling Infinity for permanent Custom Firmware.

Super professional tutorials you make. I can accidentally hit the left trigger in the CGW Pro updater, so that the PSP rebooted, with infinity already enabled by mistake. I had done a PSP before with CFW, but had misremembered the steps and the misclick on the left trigger, resultet in a software brick on a 3004 model. The third key combination left trigger and home, worked and I got into the system again and followed your steps and now its up and running again! Massive thank you for making these tutorials and software packs.
