This is an english and short version of the 5.03GEN-A for HEN read-me
USE THIS APP WITH CAREFUL!
This file is coming from PSP GEN : le site consacré à la console portable PSP de Sony : utilitaires, homebrew, thèmes, émulateurs, multimédia, firmwares, personnalisation, tutoriaux - Tout pour votre console PSP
Share it as you want for the fun but never forget to link pspgen for that


Rules:

01. Connect your PSP to the computer in USB Mode when you have loaded ChickHEN R2.
02. Unzip 5.03GEN-A_for_HEN.zip on your desktop by example
03. double-click on LAUNCH-ME.exe (GUI)
04.PSP Model : choose options PSP-2000 or PSP-3000 (depends of your PSP)
05.Mode : Choose option FULL
06.PSP Install : Choose option YES
07. push START.
08.the files are copied on your PSP.
09. Disconnect the PSP from USB.
10. Launch the main EBOOT.PBP using ChickHEN R2 (only R2! NOT R1!).
11. When the app load, press L or R to flash the firmware in your flash. YOU ONLY NEED MAKE IT ONE TIME!
12. Press () to reboot in the custom firmware.

NOTES:

- When you installed the custom firmware in your flash you can remove the "files" folder in the MS ROOT.
For your own safety, is better that you rename or erase the prx called "flasher.prx" in the MAIN APP folder to
avoid wrong flash times.

- If you shutdown the machine or the psp crash, you will need use again ChickHEN R2 to load the main app and press O
to reboot in the custom firmware, but if you dont shutdown the machine you are in the custom firmware forever.


BUGS:


- In recovery mode after the option "Configuration" the option selected is the next option. For example, Advanced is
CPU Speed, etc. This is a problem with the original recovery, because I dont have the code is very difficult find the problem.


REMEMBER! THIS APP DONT TOUCH ANY FILE FROM THE ORIGINAL FIRMWARE! IS YOUR FAULT IF YOU LATER CONNECT TO THE FLASH0 AND TOUCH SOME OFFICIAL FILE AND YOU HAVE A BRICK!

DONT TOUCH THEM AND NOT FLASH ANY CUSTOM THEME!


------------ GENyUS-------------

Custom Firmware 5.03GEN for HEN-A: First Mini Frequently Asked Questions.
by MaGiXieN

FAQ:

* The Custom Firmware 5.03GEN for HEN-A is not fake
We thought that it was needless to say but never PSPGEN announced an exclusive without this happen.
We are often late because we have a real life that interferes with the site, but we always kept our commitments.

* No risk of brick in normal use
Custom Firmware 5.03GEN for HEN-A can not brick your console during the installation. Understand that the
Custom Firmware 5.03GEN for HEN-A adds the files it needs but does not those of the official firmware 5.03.
Once installed, as it is a Custom Firmware, you have access to the flash0 of your console.

Note that on a PSP-3000 (or PSP-2000 v3), DO NOT TOUCH THE FLASH0
since editing a file of OFW 5.03 will result in am Irreparable Brick.


* Will it put an unofficial theme
NO. The unofficial themes are actually files that replace the firmware in the flash of your console.
As mentioned above, this operation is prohibited on PSP-3000 and PSP-2000 v3 bec. it could your Brick PSP.

* The Custom Firmware 5.03GEN for HEN-A can be installed on all the PSP?
It runs on all PSP including PSP-2000 v3 and PSP-3000. It has no relevance on the PSP-1000 that can install
Custom Firmware 5.02GEN-A thru other means (Pandora Kit, ChickHEN R2 with Hellcat's Recovery Flasher, etc.).

* The Custom Firmware 5.03GEN-A need for HEN he reactivation in the event of termination of the console?
YES but not a relocation. Custom Firmware 5.03GEN for HEN-A is a real but the Custom Firmware PSP-3000
(and PSP-2000V3) may not start like a modified firmware. It must pass through Davee's chickHEN R2 to launch/run
the program (or installs the first time) Custom Firmware itself. Once launched, the PSP Custom Firmware is the
same as it flashes files to flash0. Only the launch mode is different.

* Is there a Recovery Mode?
YES, The 5.02GEN-A has been patched to run on the PSP-3000. It allows you to change the majority of the usual
(Example: The deletion of coldboot example is useless since the PSP does not start in Custom firmware).
Note that we encounter some problems with this recovery in VSH and we will probably wait for a patch to
correct to be 100% functional. Note that the GEN VSH MENU works very well.

* Is there a kit for SDK Custom Firmware for 5.03GEN-A HEN?
No. PSP-3000 and PSP-2000 v3 motherboards have prevented the use of such a system.
Everything is possible but in this case the probability of such a system is really very low.

* How to install Custom Firmware 5.03GEN for HEN-A?
At the base is a windows application (sorry for the others) that allows you to patch the
Custom Firmware 5.02GEN-A to make it compatible with the PSP-3000 and PSP-2000 V3 before
copying the files needed to install on the Memory Stick of the PSP.
