[mike_jmg]

[kjetil1991]

psp resurected X) brick no longer a problem homebrew wins the war 4 ever

[felonyr301]

I would like to know how sony would attack back now lol!!!

[Harshboy]

Sony just got screwed over bigger than the first Custom Firmware Release.

Homebrew Scene > Sony

[ian h]

im still having problems with the memory stick part

[Kvonx]

Sony iz screwed on bigger grounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSS

[mcdougall57]

im guessing a psp slim recall or delay for a new design that doesnt work with the release

[BrooksyX]

Great release!

Too bad it was leaked though, hopefully it will still work with the slim PSPs. Homebrew would be so much better with 32 more MB of ram.

[ian h]

if any1 can help me with unbricking please please please email me or chat on msn my addy is [email protected]

[tgm123]

[masterchieftan878]

hehehehe. Great work. Fenominal! this development makes me laugh. Sony's got a big problem now. Hoping the slims will be usable now. BYAH!

[Mr.Denny]

Wow

If you think about it this is truly the pinnacle of the PSP hacking/homebrew scene. It feels like it's all been leading to something like this as there is now no barriers to who can use homebrew.

I doubt I'll ever need it as I never mess around with the flash of my PSP but it's a stunning release.

Sony must be hurting over this one for sure.

[tgm123]

has anyone running vista got this to work? please reply

[Veskgar]

I still want to cry every time I think about the leak maybe ruining hopes for PSP Slim. However, I do agree that this is definitely one of the biggest and significant releases.

Seeing that Dark_AleX & Mathieulh were a part of this really makes sense. I found if really suspicious with the sudden withdrawal from the scene. I figured it was due to something big in the works. SONY said he was taking a hiatus. Well he took a hiatus all right. To help with this breakthrough release.

This certainly does feel like that last step up a mountain or a final victory in a long war. However, lets not forget that there are still projects like Daedalus underway and there is so much more possible with PSP homebrew.

I asked this on the other thread but I don't know if I'll find the answer scouring hundreds of pages. Because this can't totally restore IDStorage and this installs just a minimal 1.50 subset, can you install 3.52 M33-4 custom firmware on a PSP that has used this?

Also, does anyone know exactly when SONY is going to stop entirely manufacturing of the PSP (Phat)? Its been said that they were going to phase it out. I'm sure they have a million or so units in warehouses still waiting to be shippped to retailers.

Just curious when the PSP Phat will be officially done with and you won't be able to find any in retail stores.

[burrito]

i just unbricked. yes! lol. time to put my firmware history down in my sig again.
Read my sig lol

[brunobelo]

This will work on PSP Slim. OMFG! I'll buy one! :-D

[hmong]

This is too damn good to be true! Awesome Video!!! The release of the Pandora's Battery Unbricker would've been very helpful to me had it come out as early as January '07... but it's all cool.
Once again, still freakin' awesome!!!!

[bah]

Go the 80's porn style BGM. :)


i cant get the apps to run under windows vista, i cant format the memory stick or anything im so sad

Try right clicking any exe files, going to properties and setting them to run as admin, seem to fix most vista compatibility problems. Not being able to format the memory stick is rather odd though...

I could be wrong, no chance of me running vista at this stage, thought it might help.

EDIT: Should really add a huge thank you to team C&D for this, I don't need it at this stage (thankfully), but it's one huge gift to the community that will help so many people.
Those trying to profit from their work are scum at best, the more the news of this is spread the less they will be able to take advantage of lesser informed people.

Read my sig lol

open up my spoller.. :p

I suppose it would be better to first update to an official Sony firmware like 2.71 and then downgrade from there, back to a full 1.5 then you will probably have a 100% usable psp. you can probably even upgrade to 3.52m33-4. Then again I haven't tried Pandora's battery yet so I have no idea. Someone should try it. Whats the worst that can happen? You brick your psp, that you just unbricked? It's not much of a setback anymore.

[carlitx]

ahhh man sony must be peeing their pants right now xD

damn straight i bet they are regretting the fact that they left the unbricker files ina memstik and sent back to teh owner now so long ago haha nice work sony yah f*cked yourself home brew wins! in my book the war is over!

[tgm123]

ive tried all that and still no luck, am just gonna wait till tomorrow and use my next door neighbours pc.........

"Excuse me, mind if i use your pc to run the best hack ever released for the psp?"

lmao

[Gene]

Hell yeah. Even better

Anyway. Is there anyway to revert your jigkick battery into a normal battery after you recover. Or is it stuck for good? I just want to get all the facts strait.

From the Pandora's Battery release post: "Development of a technique to change an ordinary battery into a service mode trigger battery (and back)" (Boldness added).

Thak the lord for all these coders!!!!

The unbricker process restores a full v1.5 firmware to your PSP. The 'partial subset' just refers to the version of the firmware that it launches from the memory stick, in order to be able to flash the full software.

1. Remove the battery
2. Plug PSP into an AC adaptor
3. Turn PSP on
4. Place the battery in again
5. Run the program and select one of the "normal battery" Options
6. Act cool :cool: (Optional)

OKOKOK...So let me get this straight.

Did I read that right?
Am I wrong?

:eek:

WOW! This is more impressive than I thought. Hey Fanjita, thanks for your involvement and contributions in yet another historic release. You are really making history. I tell you, in 20 years, I'm still going to remember these exciting days.

I can't wait to make my own personal "jigkick".

[ish420ism]

The GREAT NOOBS and C+D will surely find an exploit for the slim. And I am so confident in them, that I will get me a slim when it's released. But not before I help donate to the cause.:thumbup:

something is wrong with the flash chip that is preventing you from writing registry. sorry but i dont think there is a solution for that..

[Fanjita]

It may be fixable, but it would take a bit of time.

I have no idea at this point whether there will be updated releases of Pandora.
