    with a pandora battery and a mms, i have flashed a few 200x series some worked fine some did not, the ones that did not, would not let me boot into the MMS menu, it did not damage the psp just would not do anything at all, this is an option you can try ChickHen R2 & GEN-A 5.03 its not really permanent flashing the psp its a temp thing does work for some peoples scenarios

    ChickHEN R2 isn't going to work on 5.50. The only way for you is with Pandora, unless you have a TA-088v3 motherboard, in which case what you are trying to do is impossible.

    Well if it came with any firmware 3.95 or higher than it's most likely a non-pandorable motherboard, but since you don't know what fw it came with, I really don't know, maybe the date code would do something, I don't really know...

    OK if it had above 3.95 when bought new this would be a good probable indication it has a TA088v3 Motherboard MOBO, not definite but a good chance.

    in other forums, it said if it has a date code 8A it is hackable and if the serial code doesn't start with HU it is hackable and my psp has these specifications so it is probably hackable

    Hmm....I don't know, I guess you could give Pandora a try but if it dosen't work, it dosen't work.

    Do you have a connection set up? If you upgrade to CFW they are taken out and you have to set them up again.
