wow,thank you guy's!!
I just made my first one,and was dumping the nand on my first-gen psp (came as 1.5 now 3.40oe) and it said I had a bad sector.My question is: if I format the flash and reinstall firmware will it fix this(it's not a brick and works fine)is it a result of custom firmware?

Having to use this again. This time the client wants to pay me.

I hope it gets updated soon for the PSP Slim. I bricked on 3.70 and Pandora doesn't work with the Slim/.

I'm having the same problem. Found a solution? Will it work again when 3.70 M33 is out or is it senseless to wait for that since Dark-Alex explained that it's gonna be difficult to create a CFW on 3.70/1 and I should better buy a new slim? BTW: Why can it be so difficult as we learned that the code has already been decrypted?

alright, i'm going to ask a total noob question, so hopefully some of y'all will go easy on me.

i've got a psp with 3.51. i understand that i have to change this to a custom firmware first before i can pull the pandora trick, and i had decided to go with the m33, but i can't find easy instructions or a tutorial to guide me through that step. i've read the readme but i'm not sure that i understand it completely. i'm usually pretty good with this stuff so i think i can handle it after i get m33 on there - just don't know how to get 3.51 m33 from reg 3.51?

if anyone can help, thanks, you can pm me. appreciate it.

As far as I know, it is not possible at this time to do much of anything with 351.

You are going to have to find someone with an already-unlocked PSP.

i knew it would work as a successful downgrade kit. but dont freak out if you jigkick then get a blackscreen when the xmb loads just press the brightness key
