Pandora Battery - Unbrick & Downgrade any PSP!

[The EX]

well, my only problem is, does this screw up your memory stick, i read on this tread that someone couldnt use their 512, well i only have my 2 gig high speed, and i dont wanna screw it up, but i have 3 bricked psps that ive gotten from people. but i dont have a working one either. sooooo this is gonna kinda suck. haha a friend of mine has a homebrew capable psp, but i cant get ahold of him. i hope i can still get this working,

--i have 4 psp batteries. the whole extra battery isnt a problem, the only thing im worried about is the memory stick

can someone answer this?

You can revert the Mem Stick back to it's normal state at any time by simply deleting the files, and formatting the PSP. Yes, your Memory Stick will work.

hmm, i got thinking, now i'm not bricked [nor have i before, lol] buuut, we use the official 1.50 update, what if we used a 3.52M33 update instead of the 1.50, the 3.52M33 update isn't kxploited, for it's just a common 1.00 eboot as the $ony updates are. so any ideas? i mean they do have to use a homebrew capable PSP, so making the update isn't really an issue

so if it's someone stuck on 3.52 they can use a friends PSP and go straight to 3.52M33 if this is even plausable

The 3.52M33 package includes a patch which enables non-kxploited eboots to run on 1.50.

ya, but i meen the actual update, not the update creator.....cause it's a separate single eboot

u can only downgrade to 1.50 then from there u can update to any custom firmware

hokay, i guess i just wanted to skip a step

dang, people... I thought I answered all the questions that have been posted again on pg25 and after.

you can always fix a memory stick if it messes up, just not with a psp. Use a memory card reader and format it with your PC. Your psp will recognise it after that.

FOL... are you using an A/C adapter to get into service mode or are you using a USB thing with a power plug on it. The USB thing won't work. What I did, is use another battery to boot into the XMB, then swapped it with my pandora's battery (while the PSP is still powered on and plugged in) and reflashed the pandora's battery. Then, I did a complete power down, swapped batteries again and turned it on. After that I could swap out again (now using the former pandora) and it works perfectly normal.
