More information on the Leaked official Sony PSP Unbricker

here me out, I'm not skilled in this department but I bet acidmods, n00bz, or dax could figure this out.

The so called golden battery has a 4th pin that is used during the flashing, so couldnt they make a usb cable the has connectors to all the pins the batter hits? so the psp would be charged via the usb cable and hit that pin allowing an reverse enginneered program running on the pc to do the rest? we have the software so that should tell us how it does it right?

I think we wont get a official copy of the battery but we will get a clone of one that someone has made.

Only problem is how much are they going to charge for this

I dont believe this to be honest.

I will believe it when i see it.

I think this is quite real all the files I have seen in the folder seem (cushty) to me.

FYI many 'versions' of this have been leaked before, this just happens to be an earlier version which flashes a lower firmware than the others.

My theory on how this could open up many doors in the future is that we could purposely brick PSP's with 3.10 and above firmware and then use this to unbrick and install 1.50 firmware. Then we could upgrade to 3.xx OE firmware from Dark_AleX.

Does this make sense?

If that would work, how would you brick a PSP with official SONY firmware?

Well update pull the battery out and you have a brick

WOW, this thread is filled with so much garbage, I'm debating posting actual information here. The OP is accurate, but the assumptions that everyone is making are just LUDICRIS.

1. There are only _THREE_ pins in the battery compartment. Not four. One is a positive contact, one is a negative contact, and the third is a serial link directly to the PSP's bus.

2. This 'battery' everyone is referring to is not a battery at all. Sure it provides power, but it is a base station that you will not get your hands on. The base station is capable of emulating all of the PSP hardware that exists before the Bus hitch at the battery. This means that the station can initialize all of the hardware within a bricked PSP. Essentially they use a second psp to boot the first.

Think of it like this:
You have a motherboard with a bad CMOS.

You boot a working, identical motherboard into a CMOS flasher, pop out the working board's CMOS, and pop in the corrupted CMOS to flash.

You use another machine's hardware to write to the first machine's memory.

So the conclusion to all of this? It's a worthless post, and a worthless piece of software. Why do you think Sony cares so little that this software got leaked?

Because it will not help anyone unbrick a PSP. You NEED the base station or this software does NOTHING.

The 'unbrick' trick does NOT lie in the leaked software. The trick is the ability of the base station to initialize all of a bricked PSP's hardware so you can write to the flash.
