Pandora Battery - Unbrick & Downgrade any PSP!

[psp411]

ive used it on my old original mobo(had to blow the dust off of it=P)... to tell the truth, my old 1st psp actually displays something after almost a year of dormancy. i cannot express the gratitude that i have to the people responsible for the creation of this THANK YOU SO F***IN MUCH!!!!!!!!

I need some help. Once I format the memory stick logistically, and make ms0:/PSP and ms0:/PSP/GAME150, it says there are no games once I place the two programs in there.

The two folders "Installer" and "Battery" have folders in them that will show up on the PSP. Place them in your GAME or GAME150 folder.

- Use mspformat to format the Memory Stick logically.

i did it in command prompt, i typed y , it thought about it for a few seconds and then instead of getting "Drive succesfully formatted, and partition moved." i get "open error (write)

That's exactly what I did.

You have to put the files inside the installer and battery folder to your game forlder.

I just said that's what I did. :|

if you followed my guide a few pages back you would have placed them in PSP\GAME and if you were currently using OE or m33 then change PSP/GAME to use the 1.50 kernal via recovery mode.

What good will it do to have ANYTHING in game150 when the first thing you do (after making your memstick and battery) is to downgrade it to 1.50?

hey i know im new here and all but this release has finally made me wanna post something....im soo thankfull bcuz of this bcuz my psp has been semi bricked for almost 8 months and now i have finally fixed it...anywyas i have found a way to turn a pandora battery back into a regular battery bcuz i couldnt wait to receive my backup from amazon so i went ahead and converted my only one and i succesfully changed it back to a regular battery....

To change a battery back to a regular battery...after downgrading u must take out the battery and connect the psp to the outlet without a bettery...the psp will turn on and when it does just go back into the pandora battery creator and chose the square option to turn it back into a regular batter..... after that it should work....if it doesnt work just go back to the battery creator again and hit square one more time...it worked for me after 2 tries...idk if anybody has discovered this but im just letting u guys know...thnx alot to all the members that helped me bring my psp back to life

Dude... read the thread before posting. That information was posted long ago by me and confirmed by several other people.

I know you thought you were just trying to help, so Thank you! Just please read a bit first

Did you format it with windows explorer before using the mspformat? I don't think a 1GB exists that isn't a PRO Duo so it shouldn't be that. I can only personnaly say it works with an a Sony or SanDisk 256MB or 512MB stick. also you're using USB mode in the PSP when you format it, and not a card reader, right? If your PSP is is drive x:\ then the proper command is "mspformat x"

Edit: hold on, I fixed my screwed MSPD. That was certainly interesting.
Still cant get mspformat to do a damn thing but "cannot open logical drive."

read above and post back if you are doing it correctly

luxoflux: That has also already been addressed in this thread already. 3.52 m33 isn't kxploited so to use it from 1.50 you have to first run the no-kxploit patch (included with the 3.52 m33 package) BEFORE trying to install 3.52 m33.

How much time did your psp took to do the last step, wich is actually the "unbricking phase" (Extracting special prx's from pbp...)???
Cause I've got one wich is stuck in that state for about 15 minutes or so
