3.71 M33-2

Re: 3.71 M33-2

Uhh, do you have a friend with CFW?

My advice would be to get a friend with 3.90 cfw and you upgrading your ofw to 3.90, then have your friend softmod a pandora battery(it can be recoverable) and have atleast 512mb of memstick to make a Magic Memory Stick. then have him upgrade to cfw for you, that's what I did to all of my friends... oh but one downside you must have a phat psp... Although slims are doable, just with a different method..

Using The Universal Unbricker To Unbrick / Downgrade / Restore Any PSP To 3.90 M33-3

PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS IF YOU'RE ON A SLIM

Re: 3.71 M33-2

You don't need to upgrade to 3.90 ofw, pandora's battery method works on all firmwares.

If you have a slimline, you'll need to create a DCv5 (Despertar del Cementario v4) memory stick and have a pandora's battery on hand. [Guide] They blocked access to the battery's EEPROM on the Slim's mobo (TA-085) and on, so you'll have to either hardmod your battery or find a friend with a cfw fat. If all else fails, you can always buy a battery:

Re: 3.71 M33-2

The method I was explaining used flashing 3.90 ofw with 3.90 cfw. Of course there are other methods but I found this the least hassle free, and it didn't require the hardmodding, but I was only assuming he had a phat psp and knew a guy with cfw.


EDIT: Oh, lol nvm. I always thought that by using the corresponding fw it would only work that way. Kinda like flashing flash0 themes

Re: 3.71 M33-2

Um, what?

From 3.50 OFW and up, you have to use a pandora's battery to downgrade, then upgrade to CFW. 3.50 had the Lumines exploit, and 3.03 had the GTA:LCS exploit, but they both downgraded to 1.50. You can't just flash CFW on an OFW PSP.

Re: 3.71 M33-2

huh? Downgrading wasn't used in the tut i posted. With the magic mem and battery you could just upgrade.

Thanks for clearing the flashing misconception though.

Re: 3.71 M33-2

Son of a- fine... that's pretty much what I've been told other places as well. Pandora's battery and Magic Memory stick... I still don't understand it all. I looked on youtube and yahoo answers but I don't get what a magic memory stick is for, and how a pandora's battery works... Can anyone clarify this?


*Edit- *Cries* Damn this is hard. LISTEN-I CAN'T DO PANDORA'S BATTERY-I'm running OFW(Official Firmware) 3.71 downloaded directly off the Crisis Core game disk. I didn't get OFW 3.71 online, so I don't know how to get any FW online. The requirements for a Pandora's Battery method are CUSTOM FIRMWARE. How the hell do you get CFW in the first place!??? This makes no sense at all...

*Edit 2- WTF are Kernel 1.50 Addons? Everyone is mentioning them somewhere, and once again, there are no explanations as to what the f- they do...

What if I use a downgrader program that reverts my PSP to 1.50, then I update from there? I heard there are such things...

Re: 3.71 M33-2

wow dude i have the exact same problem ive gone 3 das without sleep and through 4 psps trying to do this and i learned its best if u just buy a pandora battery and create a magic memory stick

to create a magic mem stick u need to download the toatly newbi easy installer u can find it at http://dl.qj.net/dl.php?fid=14749

i hope u dont have windows vista because this will not work on vista

ill give u step by step instructions

(((make shure u bought your pandora battery!!!))))


<<i am not responsible for any dammage>>


<<if u have any saved games back them up be4 formating ur memstick!>>


1:make shure u have winrar on ur computer (if u dont then download it its free) make a folder named magic on your desktop

2:extract the downloaded files to the folder u just created

3:connect ur psp via usb connection(make shure u format your memory stick on your psp fisrt(go to system settings and format memstick on psp))

4:run start in the folder called magic

5:do what it tells u when it askes for the drive put the drive letter that ur usb slot is in(u can find it in my computer)

6:when it askes what u want to do select selection 4

8:after its done eject your psp safley out of usb connection

9:turn off your psp and insert your pandora battery(if u bought one of course)

10:it should turn on by itself and start up

11ress x to start the cfw instalation

13:when evrything has stoped(make shure its stoped) turn your psp off and put the original battery back in and start the psp

14:now u can format your memstick

15:now you are donez!!!

the only thing u have to do is download psp games off of a torrent program (i recoment bitlorad or bitcoment u can download them for free)

now if all that worked ill tell u how to run the games

after downloading a game it will appear as EBOOT.PBT on ur computer
all u have to do is make a folder in the GAME section of ur psp of the game u downloaded and put the eboot file in the folder

then because of custom firmware u can run the game!

just start ur psp and go to game then to mem stick then the game will be right there!! all for u!! XDD
