Despertar del Cementerio v5 - Universal Unbricker for the PSP

[wraggster]

Dark Alex has released a new version of Despertar del Cementerio, firstly heres whats new:

Changes in version 5
-----------------------

- Now installs 3.90 M33-3 instead of 3.80 M33-5
- Integration with timemachine in case it is installed.
---

Installation:

- Beginning at this version, DC uses same iplloader than timemachine which usually doesn't require to mspformat the memory stick.
However, in some memory stick it may still be necessary.
Just run the program and if you find an error, run mspformat and try again.

- Copy DC5 to PSP/GAME/

- Download 1.50, 3.40 and 3.90 update eboots and copy them to ms root with
150.PBP, 340.PBP and 390.PBP names.

- If you have a PTF custom theme set, quit it before running the program.

- Use the app under a cfw with 2.x or 3.x kernel (be sure that kernel is
selected on recovery to the correct one (2.x or 3.x))

- IF timemachine is installed in this memory stick, the program will ask you which button(s) you want to boot DC5, otherwise no buttons will be necessary.

- Now you can delete 340 and 150 PBP's, as they won't be used more; but 390.PBP
will be used for unbricker, so don't delete it.

- Now you have an universal pandora ms ready to go, and you just need a proper
battery. If you have 1.50 kernel access, use c+d tool. Otherwise, use corly149 tool.

Battery and ms will work on all psp and slims to this date.

Unbricking:

- Press X to install 3.90M33.

- Press O to install original 3.90

- Press [] to dump nand to nand-dump.bin. When done, psp will auto shutdown.

- Press L+R+HOME+start to restore nand from nand-dump.bin

This proccess is very dangerous, and you should *just* use it if it's your
last chance to get it working.

This is a physical restore process (not a logical one), and will try to make
a 100% exact clon of the dump.

If you are working with a dump that isn't yours, you will get either a brick
or a corrupt idstorage, depending on the firmware.

If while you are restoring your psp have got any damaged block more than
when you dumped it, you might also get a brick, depending on what block is it.

Works for both PSP and PSP Slim.

----

Note: If you are gonna use the memory stick to restore a psp other than the one that created it,
check if the file /TM/DC5/registry/act.dat exists in the ms. If it exists, remove it, otherwise the restored psp may not be able
to buy psn games until the user doesn't delete from flash2 the act.dat of the other psp. (act.dat files are unique for each psp).

Note that act.dat will be restored to the moment of the MS creation.
If you have bought other PSN game later, the act.dat file may have changed and if you restore the old one, you may loose the latest bought game.
Backup flash2:/act.dat each time after you buy something from the PSN!

hey wraggster, what the heck man, you really getting on my last nerves with disgarding my news post, and i quite dont appreciate it. I posted this and the M33-3 in the submit news, "if u members would like to see, go and see when it was posted", i posted it like an hour ago and i took my time editing it and making it all good and you go and do this.

members tell me if this is right.

The readme is a little unclear and i'm pretty new to slim unbricking, so can anyone tell me what's required to install the new custom firmware with 1.5 kernal functionality for a slim.

I have a fat pandorized battery and the dc5 (Despertar del Cementerio v5) program, but it mentions the time machine... Do I need to do anything with that before I run dc5, or is everything I need integraded into it.

[urherenow]

uhhh.... you DON'T downgrade a slim. Not to 1.5 anyway. If you want some 1.5 functionality on a slim you use the time machine


Umm... I just installed this and my pandora is no longer working...

edit2: Funny... I also upgraded to 3.90 m33-3 . After formatting flash 1, the pandora started working again. Wierd.

Great job as always DAX!

Alas, it is wrong. However, nothing will change. Often 3 line posts get chosen over well written posts just because "They were there first".

Don't bother campaigning about it, I've tried, and it will keep being the same as it ever has been.

DC keeps getting better!

At first I was a little surprised that my Phat PSP booted directly to the XMB with the Pandora battery in.
I had installed DC5 over DC4
I formated the memory stick and ran mspformat again.
Then installed DC5.
That fixed it.

Yea, the news thing... let it go.
Plenty of folks here already to post the news.

you can use your own pandora menu with this dcv5, just install time machine then convert your pandora to time machine format, then install dcv5 and it will ask what button will use for boot up, then, whala, pandora with time machine and dcv5,

currently i have UPMS installed with TM 1.50 kernels and 3.40OE, and DCv5 and they have different boot depending on what you have set in config.txt on the TM folder.
