You cannot access recovery menue because official firmware has nothing like that. And yes, you do need a magic memory stick, just google for magic memory stick maker, you can use any Memory stick pro duo (or anything in the shape of a pro duo, I used a microSD card with a photofast addapter) and turn it into a magic memory stick. It's just software-sided. The Pandora battery puts your PSP into recovery mode and the magic memory stick contains the software needed.

Xbox 360: On my fourth console, first one rrod 3 times, second one sold at ebay because of no HDMI, third one rrod during flashing (supposedly killed that drive), fourth one up and working on LT 3.0
PSP: Slim&Lite 2004 model with 6,60 ME v1.3
PS3: 60 Gig Model with the latest official firmware for going online and a modified case for better cooling
PSVita: Need some games for it, just bought an 8 GB memory card at ebay, awaiting a Photofast addapter for MicroSD-cards.

Either buy a pandora battery (for example at www.dealextreme.com or any other China shop) or sell your PSP as bricked. Nothing else you can do.
