Despertar del Cementerio "Universal Unbricker" v6

[wraggster]

Dark Alex has released Despertar del Cementerio "Universal Unbricker" v6, heres the release info:

Changes in version 6
-----------------------

- Now installs 4.01 M33-2
- Change of core. Now it uses 4.01 M33 core. This fixes some TA-88 crashing because of 1.5/3.40 kernel. Note that there are still other kind of newest TA-88 which cannot boot DC at all.
- Gui of both installer and DC itself changed to a xmb looking one.
- Added the option "Test M33" which boots 4.01 M33-2 from the memory stick.


Installation:

- DC iplloader doesn't require to mspformat the memory stick.
However, in some memory stick it may still be necessary.
Just run the program and if you find an error at 99%, run mspformat and try again.

- Copy DC6 to PSP/GAME/

- Download Sony 4.01 update eboot and copy it to ms rootwith the name 401.PBP

- If you have a PTF custom theme set, quit it before running the program.

- Use the app under a 3.x/4.x kernel. The program may not work in versions prior to 3.03 OE.

- IF timemachine is installed in this memory stick, the program will ask you at the end which button(s) you want to boot DC6, otherwise no buttons will be necessary.

- Now you have an universal pandora ms ready to go, and you just need a proper
battery. If you have 1.50 kernel access, use c+d tool. Otherwise, use corly149 tool.

Battery and ms will work on all psp except the very latest ta-88.

Unbricking:

- Select the desired optin in the menu (Install 4.01 M33, Install 4.01 OFW, etc)

- Nand operations-> nand restore currently performs a physical nand dump

This proccess is very dangerous, and you should *just* use it if it's your
last chance to get it working.

This is a physical restore process (not a logical one), and will try to make
a 100% exact clon of the dump.

If you are working with a dump that isn't yours, you will get either a brick
or a corrupt idstorage, depending on the firmware.

If while you are restoring your psp have got any damaged block more than
when you dumped it, you might also get a brick, depending on what block is it.


If you want to boot the recovery mode of the 4.01 M33 of the memory stick, boot
the psp with R+the key used to boot DC6 (if any).


----

Note: If you are gonna use the memory stick to restore a psp other than the one that created it,
check if the file /TM/DC6/act.dat exists in the ms. If it exists, remove it, otherwise the restored psp may not be able to buy psn games until the user doesn't delete from flash2 the act.dat of the other psp. (act.dat files are unique for each psp).

Note that act.dat will be restored to the moment of the MS creation.
If you have bought other PSN game later, the act.dat file may have changed and if you restore the old one, you may loose the latest bought game.
Backup flash2:/act.dat each time after you buy something from the PSN!

Hmmm. That concerns me. Does anyone no which PSP's have this ta-88 motherboard? I think its version 3. Or ta-88v3......

Are they found in Europe PSP's, Japan PSP's, North American PSP's, etc. In just a few days, the BLUE colored Slim bundle will be released in North America. I'm curious if that has the new mobo.

Anyway, this is yet another great release by DA. The changes, added simplicity, and extra functions make this one hell of an update.

Here is a fix from Dark_Alex for the DC6 installer with PSP's that have a flashed theme that caused the installer to crash.



Here are some real screenshots of DC6 working, for people that haven't seem it.
