First what's your current firmware? For starters, we need to know if you're either on 1.50 or one of the 1.50 custom ones...otherwise you might brick if updating from a higher firmware.

Second, do yourself a favor and check out this post:

It's got links to the 2.71 SE installers that will make updating your PSP much easier.

Well i have normal 1.50 and i use devhook Wich one of theese do i start with also and should i format memory stick?

If you want to update to 2.71 SE-B" you can forget about Devhook if you like, you won't really be needing it anymore, unless you still want to record videos.
Just put your MS stuff on a PC for now, and fromat your MS on your PSP before you begin.

ok then ill do all of that but were (sorry nooby again) wich link shall i go on?

[Apoklepz]

Ok, you will need to install 2.71 SE-A first.

Grab the installer from here:

Start charging your PSP's Battery in the meantime.

ok downloaded it what now?
also do i have to have the ac adapter in at all times?

[Apoklepz]

Yes, charge that PSP battery up & don't remove the AC adapter till we're done... I've found a very comprehensive guide that will show you what to do step by step...I don't think the file you just downloaded for fw SE-A is required if you have a SONY 1.50, so here you go. It's just that I personally upgraded to SE-A first...but apparently it's not required. It's easier to update straight from 1.50.

use the installers from the first link I gave you, they are safe, I succesfully upgraded with those.

I'm very sorry, but I gotta get back to work. PM me if you need any more help later, and don't do anything you're not completely sure about. Good luck.
