This is weird I followed every step and the battery works on the psp that is already able to run homebrew apps, which is on 3.03 oe-c yea i know i need to upgrade

anyways i shut off psp and tes it out with my slim thats 3.71 atm, neways it lights up the screen but no options to install the firmware.

I pout the battery and mem stick back into the psp that is already modded and it does show up to install the firmware...

[koolyoe]

You need to download all 3 of them.

"Download the 3.80 , 3.40, and 1.50 eboots 3.80 Here 3.40 here(Rename to 340.PBP) and 150 Here(rename to 150.PBP)
Place it on the root of your MS."

[hilalk]

I have a few questions about this:

do i put all of the updates on the root of the ms?
will i need to do any hard modding to the battery? And im not supposed to close the pandoras box program throughout the whole process right?
and is there any way that i can end up bricking the second running psp (its my friends and is running on 3.71 m33-2)
and all the files i will be needing are right on this page, right?
thnx

[Bobtentpeg]

Yes the updates go on the root unless otherwise specified
no, you dont need to hard mod, just flash an eeprom which can be unflashed aterwards
no dont close the program until there are no more command prompt windows
no you can brick the other PSP
all the files are linked from this page
