Hi

I got some problem with the upgrade from 3.40OEA to 3.51 M33. Bascially, I done everything correct but my screen doesn't show "do you want to upgrade to 3.51 M33" it just gone black(like brick but not it not) I have to take out my Memory card and restart my psp and it fine. I place the files in correct order. How can I upgrade? Please help!

Thanks

loading 1.50 firmware...ok

November 10th, 2007, 20:56
Bobtentpeg

what the heck are you messing with devhook for.

reformat your MS redowload the files and start over
November 11th, 2007, 06:23
yasirB87

why am i messing with devhook?....i am what they call a NOOB, sorry guys, what's an ms n how do i reformat it
November 11th, 2007, 06:23
yasirB87

haha... never mind, memory stick, i get it
November 26th, 2007, 10:54

I must be a total n00b here but i have this problem withe the M33CREATOR, it loads the1.50 firmware, then writes 1.50 firmware, then it loads the 3.52 firmware, no problem, but then it starts writing the 3.52 firmware, wich never completes. (it isnt supposed to take an hour is it) There is MS activity the whole time, it just keeps going and going...
I downloaded all the files from the links right here. I have a 1.50 PSP and have run the kxploitpatcher...

FTW could be wrong? bad MS? It is an original Sony 512MB stick that came with the PSP (secondhand that is). I formatted it before usage.
Please help...

BTW: so after an hour i removed the ms and this error message came up:
Error writing file flash0: /vsh/module/netfront.prx
November 26th, 2007, 12:46
raffie

kk, so i went out and bought a new ms, lesson learned: USE A NEW MEMORY STICK.
November 26th, 2007, 22:57
Bobtentpeg

That memory stick probably had a bad sector on it and/or was fake
November 28th, 2007, 17:21
raffie

Yea well I can use it playing games from it not a problem, it's a bit slower when writing to it then the new one but no problems whatsoever, and i've completely filled it.
I'm just thankful this shit happened using M33CREATOR and not with M33UPDATER, while flashing.

Help with upgrading

Ok, so I'm a little confused when it comes to this. Here's my current setup: I have one of the original PSPs (1.50 fw) that has been upgraded to the 3.10 OE-A fw. I want to upgrade to the most recent custom fw but I'm not quite sure which method to follow. I read the tutorials above and i'm still a little sketchy.

There's two obvious choices, the 3.51 or 3.71 both the M33 fws. Here's the thing, I also have custom emulators that I run under the 1.50 to play old NES, SNES, Genesis, etc games.

Help? What should I do and which custom fw should I use given the current settings?

Thanks.

Emus and Homebrew still work on custom firmwares....you must upgrade to 352m33 if you want to go to 371m33. Its really up to you. Both work well, and 99% of homebrew works without a glitch
December 7th, 2007, 07:28
o2byzst

Once i've upgraded to 371m33 where do I put the 150 games, such as the homebrews and emulators I was talking about?
December 8th, 2007, 03:47

GAME150

make sure you install the 1.5 addon and 371MM-2
get them here

Well, if you upgrade 1.5 goes away :P
but on a custom firmware you can play all 1.5 homebrew, all 1.0 homebrew play ISO/CSO PSX games and more. There arent really any cons

No you dont need to go to 1.5.

and since you are one a custom firmware, I would just make a pandoras battery and Ms and udpate to 3.71 M33 using that

guide: http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=77747

and 3.80 M33 is the latest

I have 3.02 OE-B installed, can I just use the instructions in the second part of your guide "Updating to 3.51/3.52 M33 from any OE or SE custom Firmware"?

Thank you

yes, you can, hence its titled for OE and SE firmwares

Ok, so I doubt this is going to make me look good around here but... I guess I'll never know unless I ask.

I'm running 3.52 M33. How do I get it to 3.52 M33-4? I need to have that to get 3.90 M33..

OK...so I know this thread hasnt been posted on for a VEEERRRYYY long time but im kinda hopin someone will reply. Im ONE STEP AWAY from updating my fat psp with original 1.5 firmware to the latest official Sony firmware!!! Here goes...

Ive been off the PSP for a wee while and still had devhook which i now learn is ANCIENT! Im trying to upgrade to 352 M33 (or be it any version of M33...i hear M33 is the best choice now??!). Ive formatted my card to start from scratch, copied kxploit thing, M33 CREATOR, ran both and then gone to run the blue icon M33 UPDATER...here lies the problem...

First message fine, then..."Checking PSAR integrity...incorrect PSAR" ....psp reboots!

I've tried different downloads of the same version and ive tried different versions (351/352). Can someone...ANYONE...please tell me what to do before im tempted to screw it all and do the official Sony firmware update!!! Im on the edge!
