Same for me, but the battery id seems ok.

That's what i've tested and it works fine using AC adapter and using only one battery.

Just used it and although I can't be trusted by the masses...I can confirm it working. I would post screenshots but I doubt that would be convincing. All I can say is that the C+D Team are geniuses in their prime! And the battery CAN be converted back using the same application that turned it into a jigkick.

Aye, can confirm all regard battery. Error at 14, but seems to work fine.

Only other problem I had, was that a dumped my 3.52 M33-4 nand, but it said bad sector while backing up. It still gave me 33MB nand dump.

Anyone know if that means, my flash is iffy or does this pandora throw out random errors, like with the battery?

Anyways, this is great.

Congrats to all involved.

There is no reason for anyone to not have an unlocked PSP anymore, give or take IDStorage mangling.

On that note, what happens when the NAND is pulled while the PSP is powered on? It may be possible to boot up a working unit, swap NANDs, then restore a IDStorage from a backup or something.

Errrm, how would that work, be hard to unsolder the nand while its on, you would end up shorting it out.

On another note, my battery is screwed now, everytime i fully turn off. and turn back on it goes into service mode. I have tried writing my backedup battery eprom data back to it and it wont stop doing it,

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?
