GT Hero79 I don't disagree with U, they do suck. However what is the benifit of U continuously pointing it out to the same people? Is it not better to try to assist those who do use it? After all not everyone has the option of getting an SP.
And yes it was that easy to fix my son's, and ALL of the codes came back. I'm not saying it will work for everyone, it probably depends on how it got screwed up to begin with, but be sure of one thing, I don't make up stories, this is what happened to my son's, and that was the result.
Also, there is a series of buttons that is supposed to reset the GS2 to factory settings. Not sure exactly how it works, or if U have to be at a certain screen, but they are R1,L1,start and select.
This will not restore any of the codes that U have entered!
