Goddamn Pandora's Battery!!!!!!

AAAAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

Dear all,

No matter WHAT I do I cannot soft mod a Normal battery into a Pandora one.
I am running a PSP 1000 5.50 GEN-B, and so far I have tried:

5.50 GEN VSH - Error
PSP Tool - Crashes at Gameboot
Hellcat's Recovery 1.60 - Error loading/starting several .prx's
Ultimate Pandora Creator - Error
PSPident v0.4 - Error

I also cannot determine which motherboard I have, as PSPident crashes after giving me my kernel version.

Also, with Recovery Flasher, I cannot revert to 5.00 M33 even though I followed all the instructions very specifically.

All help will be appreciated, thanks.

Is your battery an official Sony one or a third party? Note that there are some third party and also fake Sony branded ones that can't be softmodded. Have a look, then tell here.

Yes, the battery is a fake, and I only have a fake one because I tried (rather unsuccessfuly) to hardmod it (at that point I had not heard of softmodding a battery

) Anyways, then I ordered the rather popular hybrid LED battery, which, at the touch of a button, could be turned into Pandora mode. Only, it stopped working after about 2 months, and then I brought a fake battery for my PSP. At this point, I had upgraded to 5.50 GEN-B, and hoped that i could softmod the battery and downgrade. Little did I knnow that I would be rewarded only by pain and torture, or I would have ordered a Pandoras battery and then softmodded it back. Is that possible - I mean, buying a commerncial Pandoras / Service Tool battery and then soft modding it back?? Please help!

I don't know as I've not bought any of those premade pandora batteries before. Only way to tell is get one and then attempt to normalise it. Trying using a PSP app like PSP Tool v1 that can change the battery's EPPROM serial and tell you if it works out or not.

Do you mean try to change the EEPROM of the battery that I have now, or a Pandoras Battery? If you mean the first, then I can't, since PSP Tool v1.0 crashes on the gameboot. As for the Pandoras battery, I don't currently have acces to one, but I might just be forced into buying one sooner or later. Any more ideas?

PS. Does anyone know why when I start Recovery Flasher that I get several errors loading/starting .prx's on startup, and why it says 'HEN Mode Detected' when I'm on 5.50 GEN?
