ah, so it's probably not that problem then. you mean the game isn't appearing on the home menu, right? I know that's what will happen if you rebuild the database with fake pkgs on 5.05 and 6.72. I'm not really sure where to get the right update. iirc, the recovery menu has initialize the system (reformatting basically), and initialization while also reinstalling the firmware. I don't know what happens exactly with just a normal initialization. it might just format the games' section. when I reformatted the drive with my sata station, there was one partition that was hundreds of gigabytes in size, so it may only do that, but I'm not sure. if you do reformat the system, you may need the recovery menu update (about 1GB or so in size). you don't normally have to do this, but I don't know what you can do if the exploit suddenly stops working. I'd say keep trying. export your saves to usb if you can (those can be fixed later). trophies are fixable as well, but afaik, you need the exploit to work for those.
