Every one !!! Help! This is the first time ive ever asked. Normaly I can get it done or Figure it out myself. But this is a dire situation.:confused: It starts out with my psp going bonkers using the CF 3.8-5. So i decide to update to the CF 3.9 but it. Instead it had downloaded and installed the official firmware. OMG!!! Don, Don, Donnn!!! [close up on scared eyes shifting from side to side] So I do a bit of research and make my pandora battery hard wired of course. My only one but I can buy one later. I find a way to make the magic memory stick using my computer. I Dont use my PSP at all, Why? because I tried out the Pandora's Battery on it but nothing happend. Later I turn it on again and I get the Blue wave screen with the Loading little circle thing in the bottom right hand corner. There's nothing else on the screen. No i did not have the memory card inserted before when I tried out the battery. I thought it would automattically bring up a different screen that might of said something like Service Mode. So any who - I make the stick, remember, with out the PSP, I used the computers memory card reader. Put it in and then the battery, with out the psp being pluged in. It starts up reads the card and the same 'ol blue screen comes out. Thats it, thats all that happens. Now FYI I made the Battery my removing the pin, I carefully broke it off with a knife. the battery was drained before i did it. It seems to have worked because the PSP turns on automatically when I insert the Pan Battery. So Can any one tell me whats going on and help? Is this blue screen the screen of death? Is my battery working the way it should be? Is any one going to read this?

You havnt made the memory stick correctly
and your PSP is on 390 M33, the 390 M33 installer is a modded version of the official 390 installer from sony

Thanks for the fast reply!!! I'm Possitive it is on the official software. This I know for sure. You see the problem started with the m33 3.8-5 firmware started to act up. I could get in to the CF config screen by holding R but when I tried to enter the Configurations sub-menu it would just turn off. Not restart but turn off. Every thing had apparently reseted etself. I couldnt play hombrew or anything a CF helps u do. So the automatic download for the upgrade to the next CF was also off. it downloaded the official firmwar. After I had checked the system setting. It didnt have m33 included in its version name. Not only that but I couldnt access the CF config screen. And for the memory stick I fallowed the on screen instructions. I Tried many different ways to make the magic stick but theres always a problem when im fallowing instructions I cant do the remove from PSP parts because I cant use my PSP. so its from a card reader. I cant download the file 14749_TOTALNewbieasyInstallerPandorasmenu.rar from QJ is there a mirror? or did they update the file and its called something else. I even did it manually and it didnt work. So please tell me what im doing wrong.

So u rename 2 of the cfw to 340.PBP and 150.PBP but not the 3.8?

Sorry I didnt understand that last message. But some new developments have arrrived. Im in the library and found some one with a psp. they lent it to me. I downgraded it to 1.5. It had 2.82 OF. I make another pandora battery, just making sure mine worked. They both work the same. So I assume my hardmod was successfull. I return the other one to normal. I make the magic stick. put in the battery but nothing happens. The green light turns on but thats it. no light comes on for reading the memory card. So today im going to try and make the Magic stick using another computer that has win xp because mine has vista. either way ive tried many different ways in making the memory stick and nothing ever happens. Hopefully this will help. Any comments or thoughts will be highly appreciated. Keep in mind I have done every thing correct. I fallowed the instructions and tutorials to the "T". So can it be something else? ;) Thank u all who are helping!!! :D
Thans bob, You were correct. And for future people who need help.
* If your screen has the waves and the wait circle in the bottom right corner - its bricked. *
* If you Make your Pandora battery without a homebrew psp - when you put it in if nothing happens on your PSP exept the green power light comes on. Then you made it right. There is nothing wrong with it. *
* I had no success in creating a Magic memory card without, 1-another psp, and 2-a computer with windows xp. So if you have vista, good luck with that!!!! *
Again thanks you two for helping I got lucky and found another psp with CF. And it turned out the only thing I needed was a computer with WIN XP!!! But for those poor people with only a bricked PSP and a computer running WIN Vista ....... someone should make a tutorial for them specifically in mind. With tons of pictures. Some one who really knows what they are doing 100%, Like I dont know, Team C+D. Go team!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never Mind Every body!!!! It didnt work!!! I can get to the CF menu but not the xmb, whats up with that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi its me again can you help me out. It doesnt seem to wanna work, everything loads but when i turn it on it doesnt have an xmb, but i can acess m33 CF menu, even in the blue screen with the waves but no icons i can press select and have the VSH menu come out

So i tried making the battery with my friend's psp currently running 3.90M33, but when i try to load it, it says "game could not load (80020148)". No idea how to fix it, please help me! ive been waiting for this for a long time. Btw im using his battery, and its a PHAT psp
-
Whell tell us what steps you took. WHat files your using?? Me i used a phat battery but I modded it internally. (Hard Wired) But I still cant get it the entire thing to work. The battery works but the stick is a little funky see my problem written previously.

Got up to the step where u copy some files into ur MS and then try to run the battery creator. I read on another post that i need the 1.5 kernel addon, but i dont know how to install and my friend isnt here to help me. I just borrowed to do it.

Search for dark alex on yahoo gatta go.

NVM i installed the 1.5 kernel and already installed 3.80M33 on my PSP slim, ty for the tutorial and it works like charm. One thing u did miss is the renaming of the 3.80 pbp to 380.PBP Also u should prob add how to install kernel 1.5 to Phat PSPs so people dont freak out when they cant load the battery creator
