How to dump OFW 4.00 files....

READ IT ALL BEFORE DOING IT!!!!
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKS, ETC.....

(All of this took little over 30mins.)

What you need:
*pandora battery (with extended menu with flash access)
*custom Firmware installer (any CFW is good.)
*some time

Step one:
Setting up the PSP...
Assuming you have the battery done and ready its time for the dumping! Install 4.00 OFW on the PSP.
Make sure it is the official version "Version 4.00" should be in system information now.

Step two:
Getting the files....
Now use the pandora extended boot menu to gain access to the Flash0:/ and Flash1:/ files, copy to your computer, or place of choice.

Step three:
Restoring the PSP.....
Just use pandora to put the custom FW back on the psp like before.

NOW YOUR DONE! easy right? It sure was!

EDIT: For the IPL use a hard drive copying software....... yes by theory it should work. (make sure you put it in an iso, instead of another HD)


Any Questions?

Please comment.
THIS IS FOR EDUCATIONAL REASONS ONLY!!!! DO NOT USE THIS TO HACK THE FIRMWARE YET AS IT IS TO HIGH RIGHT NOW....... ONLY USE THE FILES FOR PERSONAL REASONS ONLY.

but what about the IPL, you are just dumping the file tree

i know, these are just for the files, the 3.95 ipl is used here...... i think
sorry for not mentioning it.

i kno im a little late but this is easy and pointless....
but PSP-filer and such wont read F0 on OFW. I tryed installing 5.00 ofw and using PSP-filer on my TimeMachine... when i go to flash0, nothing appears... even in 3.60 M33 recovery menu, when i toggle f0 usb... nothing. so thanks! now imma edit ofw for funzie:D
