This is a video that I saw on youtube and I thought I would share it with everyone because it is only uploaded 2 hours ago.
Its a video of someone unbricking a psp without a custome firmware, and i think its how sony unbricks a psp.
In the video the screen shows an option to aloww acces to the flash by usb.
Don't take this as a fake right away, go watch it first then decided.

"I have found some exciting news about an unbricker for the 1.5 psp bricked with the fameous app X-flash (which could brick ur psp) that was made 2 days ago. This info i received on a english site of bjwil3. The source u will found below this post. U can also view a video of the whole process made by Skeeder.
On the video u will see written in french that it's possible to use any app on the bootup of a bricked psp... But on the tutorial of bjwil3's site there u will see that a psp with 1.5 fw bricked with x-flash is needed for the unbricker to work properly.
The idea of the process is too flash ur psp to a 2.0 firmware with the needed files that i will mention later on and after that u can easily downgrade again to a 1.5 firmware.
TUTORIAL:
NEEDED files/things before getting started:
- First Watch Video (at end of post)
- PSP must be fully charged + plugin ur charger so it wouldn't die on u in the process
- Clean your memory stick before starting Backup files and folders first b4 doin' this
- PSP with 1.5 fw bricked with x-flasher HERE
- The File 1.50.flash which u can get HERE
- Firmware 2.00 or 1.50 eboot which u can download HERE or HERE
- Pc to put the needed files on your psp (Multi-card reader/writer and/or printer needed).
PRACTICAL OPERATION:
1) REMEMBER put the charger in your PSP!!! Your battery "must" be full
2) Put the 1.50.flash file in the ROOT of your PSP's memory stick
3) Place the 2.00 or 1.50 firmware (EBOOT.PBP) in ur memory stick directory: PSP/GAME/UPDATE --> If there is no UPDATE directory than make one
4) Turn your psp on and PRESS ALL the following buttons down and KEEP them PRESSED: Triangle, Circle, Square, Cross, L , R AND MAKE repeaditly Circles with your D-pad(not the joystick) of the psp like in the video
5) You will now see a blue screen with options --> Choose the option with the Eboot sentence like in the video and press X (cross)
6) Now your psp will update to 2.00 or 1.50 firmware! -->After process u will have the 2.00 or 1.50 firmware on ur psp.
U can find bjwil3 his site (source) HERE
