Pandora Battery - Unbrick & Downgrade any PSP!

[xg917]

read this again:

NOTES AND RESTRICTIONS
- The firmware in the Memory Stick is not a full 1.50, but a minimal
subset. Therefore, not all applications (such as flashers, or
recovery apps) will load.

remember that you dumped 1.50 eboot's ipl to your memory stick then wrote it to the memory stick, meaning:
the subset is used to load the Pandora Menu from the memory stick and Flash the 1.50 eboot to the PSP, meaning its flashing full 1.50 version.

Hi,

So I put this program and battery together yesterday, but when I put it inside my bricked PSP the WLAN and Memory Stick lights went on, but the screen remained blank.

I know the batter and the Memory Stick work properly because I tried them out on my homebrew enabled PSP and it successfully dropped it down to 1.50.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I got a fully working PSP with firmware 2.81, can i use this program and downgrade to 1.50 and then up to a custom firmware? Without using that anoying GTA v2.0 trick? Sorry if you guys are tired in answering noob questions... I did read trough this and im just want to be sure. I got a TA-082 motherboard by the way. /greets Sam

people, people... anyone who thinks that m33 won't work is trying to run it immediately after downgrading. You have to remember that when you downgrade it's 1.5 (full or not... doesn't matter) so you have to **run the kxploit patcher that came with the 3.52 m33 update package**, then the m33 update works just fine. I went directly from pandora's 1.5 to 3.52 m33.

Grizzly... no I don't think you're sorry because your question was answered just 4 posts above yours.


Labiosus : After you have a good battery and memory stick made (you can't make one with an official 2.81) you can use it on ANYTHING. Doesn't matter what firmware or hardware revision, bricked or not. It will just work.

oninotsume: All I can say is try it again on the one you used already. If it still works, then maybe your bricked one has a different problem (burned out backlight or sth). And you don't have to go through the process again either. Just see if the menu will come on. A cold reboot with a normal battery will bring it back out of the service mode so not to worry . As long as the memstick and wifi lights are coming on it sounds like it's trying to work, so with it on, try removing the memory stick and re-inserting it. If you can't get it to work then sorry but perhaps it's RIP for that psp.

well.. at the moment it shouldn't be hard to find a retail PSP with fw 3.5 or older (so you can at least downgrade with an original Lumines disk) so you put one on a credit card, downgrade, make your pandora stick and battery, then install official 3.xx firmware back on it and then return the thing stating that you found out a newer model will be here soon so you want to wait to buy it instead. No retailer can refuse your refund within a couple of days of purchase...

Right on...I forgot the kxploit patch the first time I tried to upgrade to 3.52m33 after the unbricking and of course it didn't work. I remembered the second time and had absolutely no problems going from the unbricked 1.5 to 3.52m33

This is truly nothing short of a man-made miracle!
