    The reason the credits come up is because when you are asked to format you typed y then took the ms out and exited usb before you were prompted to do so the reason i know this is because i done the same 3 times then on 4th try i waited for the installer to prompt me to take it out and it worked fine hope this helps anyone else with the same problem.

    larrylje,

    I found the source of the problem

    Even when I waited for the prompt to remove the MS, the same thing happens to me, but instead of cutting to the credits it says 1 file copied about 10 times real fast then the credits roll.

    The "PSP MS IPL Installer" never shows up, which is obviously the issue because like you said, the IPLs are necessary.

    For those having issues with the files being copied to Memory Stick. make sure you follow the Easy installer instructions correctly. Also try using a different memory Stick and XP is the preferred OS that should run the easy installer. if you have Vista find a PC running XP.

    The guide works perfectly fine. So if your having issues it is either something your doing wrong or you need to try a different Memory Stick and or a different PC.

My question is...am i supposed to see any changes? As in on maybe th e psp system settings? because my software version is still 3.80. Or, do I have to continue with the pandora battery part?

    What do you think?

    I get tired of answering questions like this.

    Do you think if you didn't need the Pandora Battery I would have included it in the guide?

    Excellent tutorial

    Can I just check something. Can I can go from 380M33 right to 380M33-4 without having to do the -2 and -3 updates?

    Thanks

    i have trouble here.

    i successfull made magic stick via using 2gb sony ms.
    but i can't make pandora bat.

    honestly, i got confused and use method for 1.50 psp,
    but mine was cf psp.
    i tried to 1.50 method and failed.
    psp won't turn on by bat, and i formatted ms before
    put my bat to normal mode.
    so i backed up my spare bat's data and put it in to my original bat.
    psp can be turned on bat.
    after that, i tried method for cf.
    it said success, but the result...psp won't turned on bat.
    i turn it on via ac adapter and see my bat in pandora tool, it said
    serial 0x3d86a00 - unkown or nomalr serial
    and the bat won'tget charged.

    (my original bat is sony china made, but my spare bat is sony japan
    made. and it not even can be convert to pandora.
    pandora tool said "failed")

    any one has solution for this?

    ps:what is xmb??

    Thank you for your guide. I ran your previous guide on my Daxter model PSP, with OFW 3.72 and it worked great. I am now running 3.71 M33-4 CFW. I did not take your original advice, and tried to make the pandra battery myself, BIG MISTAKE. I fried my battery, it was an extra I purchased. I then purchased a Datel tool battey from Diveno, and it worked like a charm. For those wondering about Diveno, the company is on the up, and up. The website looks shady, and low tech, but I had my product in a couple of days. I do have one question, can I use my Magic Memory Stick, and downgrade a PSP with 3.80 OFW?

    no offence dude, but sendspace speeds suck if you use the free version. i tried to download twice and it would pause at 73%. it was so bad that i had to buy the weeks membership(Only 5.00). But i also wanted to thank you because with this it makes it much more easier to make my batteries. and sell them on ebay for a pretty pennie

    No offense taken but your the second 1 that has brought up the speed issue. I made this guide to help others. I do this for free and ask for nothing in return. Opon that I use the free file hosting service as well. So if anyone has an issue with it do as _H06_ has done and buy an account yourself.

    If you don't want to spend the money or wait for the download to finish then find another guide to follow.

    If anyone else can direct me to a faster free file hosting service I will gladly upload the files to it. Just PM me the information. We don't need 20 post of everyone recommending me a file sharing site in the guide section.

    Thanks a lot for this. It helped out a lot since UPMS doesn't work for 3.80 m33 at the moment.

    Gotta say, this is the best guide/software pack for repairing bricked PSP's! The longest part of the process was waiting for the files to download, but hey, it's free!

    Thanks a lot, it's not fun when your daughter unplugs the USB whilst restoring a Flash0 backup!

    nice one looks pretty easy can't wait to try it out. Hey in this tutorial is there a way to keep the Pandora Battery but use as normal and just call upon Pandora when I want too? and once the Mgaic Stick is made can I save it onto my PC as a back-up for future use?

    You can install the Boosters IPL (Option 2) at the beginning of the Easy Installer. You will need to do this for all Memory Sticks you use on the PSP that has the Pandora Battery. If you apply this to the Magic memory Stick you will need to hold down L or R Trigger (I can't remember which 1) to boot into the Pandora Menu.
