Introduction:
Do you have a Semi-Bricked PSP, and have no clue how to fix it without Pandora or a Flash0 Back-Up?
Well in this Tutorial I'll show you how to recover your Semi-Bricked PSP back to 3.71M33 or 4.01M33.
NOTE: If you want to upgrade from a previous Custom Firmware you can also use this Tutorial!

a fresh 3.71-M33-4 and a 4.01-M33-2 on the following setups:
3.02-OE *) -- on Fat PSP
3.40-OE -- via TimeMachine on Fat PSP
3.60-M33 -- via TimeMachine on Slim PSP
3.71-M33 -- on Fat and Slim PSP
4.01-M33 -- on Fat and Slim PSP
4.01-M33 -- started via DDCv6 (kinda pointless to install a 4.01 then,
but hey, can't hurt to try )
1.50 -- on Fat PSP, using the 1.50 build of the flasher
^^ yes, that reads "one point five", and yes, I flashed directly to 4.01-M33-2 from there
*) Note: On lower CFWs (early OEs, mostly) you may get warnings during
3.71 installation regarding assignments of flash1:
This is normal under these FW versions, no need to worry.
The program will disable formatting flash1 in that case, so
everything should be fine.
