PSP Hacking Guide - only for PSP-1000 (phat) and PSP-2000 (slim) v1 and v2
This guide is made assuming you have access to a psp with CFW, and you want to install the latest CFW. In this case [5.50 GEN-D3]
(((((read the notes bellow before start hacking)))))
You'll need the following things.
- PSP with CFW
- a memory stick 256 mb as minumum 4gb as maximum
- a Battery that can be pandorized (yes, original psp batteries can be pandorized)
- Ultra Pandora Installer (UPI) -----> Download
- Following OFW's 1.50, 5.00 and 5.50 ---> Download
- Despertar del Cementerio 8 (DC8) -----> Download
- 5.50 GEN-D3 ---> Download
Ok let's start.
1- Backup all your data (Savedata, games, ...)
2- Extract the ultra pandora installer file, and copy the UPI4C folder to the following route X:/PSP/GAME
3- Launch the application from your XMB (located under game section) and choose the option "format memory stick"
4- Now, enable USB and copy again the UPI4C folder to the same route, also copy the 1.50 eboot to the root. rename it to "150.PBP" (without quotes).
5- Launch the app again go to DDC menu and choose the first option
6- extract the DC8 file, copy DC8 folder to X:/PSP/GAME, and copy the 5.00 eboot to the root and rename it to "500.PBP"
7- launch DC8 on your XMB, at the end of the installation it'll ask you to choose a button to boot DC8, if not install it again.(i always choose L button)
8- Launch ultra pandora, go to "ipl menu" and choose "install msipl.bin"
9- Now go to Battery options and choose "make pandora battery"
10- Extract 5.50 GEN-D3 file. copy the UPDATE folder to the same route X:/PSP/GAME
11- Launch it from the XMB, then choose "install XGEN PANDORA"
12- now take out the memory stick and the battery, insert the memory stick in your psp, press and hold the button you choose to boot DC8 and insert the battery.
13- now go to nand operation, press backup nand. Always Backup your NAND
14- go back and install CFW 5.50 GEN-D3
15- once you have success its time to get your battery and your memory stick to normal.
16- launch ultra pandora go to battery options and choose "make normal battery" (check if its normal by taking it out and inserting it back, if the green light turns on by itself, you still have a pandora, if not then your battery its back to normal)
17- to normalize your memory stick you only have to format it from your psp menu.
*****Notes*****
- Make sure your Memory stick is original
- Make sure your battery can be pandorized
- Some steps are done assuming you don't have a Pandora battery, if you buy/have one then you can skip steps 4, 8, 9 and 16
- This can be done by another methods but this is the one i always use -
- This guide it's only for PSP-1000 (phat) and PSP-2000 (slim) Note ---> Some slim models are not hackable
- Extract the OFW 5.50 .rar, copy the 5.50 eboot to the root and rename it to 550.PBP
- Extract 5.50 GEN-D3 file. copy the UPDATE folder to the next route :Root/PSP/GAME
- Disconnect your psp, go to the Game section on your XMB, launch the update, then select
"Flash Install CFW 5.50 GEN-D3"
- Once it finish you can delete the update from your Memory Stick
********NOTES********
- This guide it's only for PSP-1000 (phat) and PSP-2000 (slim) with full CFW
- This guide its not made for PSP's with CFW lower than 4.01 M33.
- If your psp firmware its lower than 4.01 M33 update to 4.01 M33 or 5.00 m33
Could you fix that bug with the video options, please?
This is definitely the coolest theme for CFW 5.00 so far but the video options are a must for me too! I only use my PSP for video and music rarely for games.
