GUIDE: Universal Unbricker V3 Using FAT 1.50 or FAT/SLIM custom firmware PSP.

hello everyone! i'm new here, kinda. i 've been reading these forums for a while now, and it recently came to me that you are all very cool/nice and amazing modders, so i finally decided to register an account . so nice to meet you all =D anyways, on to just a few questions, if you wouldn't mind answering:

1. I'm not a n00b at psp hacking, but from what i can gather from this, this unbricker can also be used to hack a psp?
and,
2. I have a hacked psp slim with CTF 3.90-M33-3. My friend has a slim with OF. Is it to my understanding that i can use my MMS and convert my battery into a pandora battery and then turn this pandora battery back into a normal battery when im done? Sorry, it's just i've never heard that it can be done.

thnx to anyone who helps

 

1. Yes, it can help
2. Yes, it is possible to change back your battery. Remember to make a backup of the EEPROM of your battery.

 

these numbers(0xfffffff) come up when making pandora battery..where as memory stick is made with no problems..

i dont understand y...even thou i am using psp original battery..

 

i managed to make pandora battery...
Simple ..I used another PSP(fat) and done the same procedure for Mem stick n then Battery..Now it is working on both PSPs..

 

Hi Larrylje,

sory im just noob here, I bought a Battery service tool,I have PSP2001. do I have to these steps,

Now it is time to create the Pandora Battery.

PANDORA GUIDE: THOSE THAT HAVE 1.50 FIRMWARE PSP

Go to Game Menu Memory Stick and run the Pandora Battery Creator.

Press triangle to backup the battery eeprom. The PSP will then reboot to XMB.

Run the Pandora Battery Creator again via Game Menu Memory Stick and press X to convert the Battery to service mode. The PSP will reboot to XMB.

Turn off the PSP and take out the Battery.

Now use the Magic Memory Stick + Pandora Battery on the PSP that needs to be unbricked or Custom Firmware installed to.

After the custom firmware is installed take out the Battery and plug the PSP in via AC Adapter and turn the PSP on (without the Battery inserted).

After the PSP boots to XMB place the Battery into the PSP and go to Game Menu Memory Stick and select OS Pandora Battery Tool.

You will get a warning screen just press X to get to the Main Menu. When the Main Menu comes up go to "flash only serial from mso:/eeprom.bin"

Go to Quit Now and it will exit to the XMB. Now turn off the PSP and unplug it from AC Adapter. Now Take out the Battery then re-insert the Battery replacing the battery cover and use as normal now..


PANDORA GUIDE: THOSE THAT HAVE CUSTOM FIRMWARE PSP

Go to Game Menu Memory Stick and run OS Pandora Battery Tool. Press X at warning screen to get to Main Menu.

Select "backup battery eeprom to ms0:/eeprom.bin"

After the eeprom is backed up go to "convert to service mode"

Go to Quit Now after the Battery has been converted and it will exit to XMB.

Turn off the PSP and take out the Battery.

Now use the Magic Memory Stick + Pandora Battery on the PSP that needs to be unbricked or Custom Firmware installed to.

After the custom firmware is installed take out the Battery and plug the PSP in via AC Adapter and turn the PSP on (without the Battery inserted).

After the PSP boots to XMB place the Battery into the PSP and go to Game Menu Memory Stick and select OS Pandora Battery Tool.

You will get a warning screen just press X to get to the Main Menu. When the Main Menu comes up go to "flash only serial from mso:/eeprom.bin"

Go to Quit Now and it will exit to the XMB. Now turn off the PSP and unplug it from AC Adapter. Now Take out the Battery then re-insert the Battery replacing the battery cover and use as normal now.

 

Once you've got 3.71 M33 installed, verified that by checking at 'Systems Settings'->'System Information'.
After that follow this guide : http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/616311

I was trying to update to 4.01 M33 but I think my battery is bad since it requires my battery to be at least at 78% before it will proceed with the update. I had downgrade my PSP from OFW 3.93 to 3.71M33 using this guide.

 

Hi,

Although I havent tried this guide yet but I can see that it should work and its' great but does this mean that features from the original update would also be gone after using or doing this pandora procedure?

I am new to PSP and i have problem for v4.05 update as no games found after. Shall I need to follow the procedure? My PSP is from v3.85. plese shed light as I am confused for the term FAT 1.5 or FAT/SLIM whatever Thank you Larrie

 

There is no need to follow the guide you linked to. All files in that guide is available in this guide if you followed it properly.

If the battery level is to low you can simply press L button and Triangle at the same time when booting the update to disable the battery level check.

 

hey larry what do I have to do to make it so the magic stick will go straight to 4.01 M33-2? Cuz I been using your magic stick for awhile a d tired of using Pandora + your mms that installs 3.71 M33

 

Use google and find a guide that will go straight to 4.01 M33. But come on it isn't that hard to go from 3.71 M33 to 4.01 M33. You can do it in minutes.

 

Hi Larry, I tried the steps regarding memory stick, im done with tht part, im doing the creation of Pandora battery, I go to Menu and then run OS Pandora Battery tool then it reboot the system then I got an error message "The Game could not be stated (80020148)".

Thank in advance for help.

My system is PSP Blue (NFL Package)
Version 4.05

 

You are using the wrong guide. Visit this guide

To use this guide you need a custom firmware psp, which you don't have.

 

mcgrooey, thanks for the reply, I have buy a new Datel Tool Battery, I bought a Bttery Service tool but it's not working, not sure if it's broken or it's not compatible to my psp battery.

thanks again.

 

Did you use the guide I linked ? If so, then reply your problem over at that thread

 

Ok, so installed CTF on my friends PSP (Slim - God Of War, came with OF 3.95. with both Pandora and MMS.) The install is a complete sucess, but when i remove my battery (pandora) and put in his, the green light will not come on =s, i dont get this. they are both slim batteries, does the psp NEED to be turned on via AC adapter for the normal batttery to work?


P.S: the psp works when pandora and MMS are inserted. and works fine.

P.S.S: sorry for posting this on the other thread (for OF users) im not sure how to delete posts =s, so if someone could delete that message, it would be much appreciated.

 

is that possible to do all of this thing with PSP slim version 3.60 ? I have one now ! But I dont know what should I do ! Some of my friends said it's impossible to cr@ck my version T_T

 

I dont understand this tutorial it makes no sense, its supposed to UNBRICK your PSP, but it says i need to first "Format my Memory stick Via System Settings" but how am i supposed to do that with a BRICKED psp? I can't turn it on to go to its System Settings...

 

Your friends are wrong.

If you have a friend with CFW on their PSP then use this guide to install CFW to your PSP.

If you only have access to an Official Firmware PSP (your 3.60) then use this guide HERE to install CFW to your PSP.

It makes perfect sense if you understand English.

Use a little common sense.

If you have a bricked PSP then of course you will need to find a PSP that works or a card reader or USB adapter compatible with Pro Duo Sticks to make the MMS.

 

I do understand English.

No where in there does it state I need to use another PSP.

Use your brain.

Obviously if someone is looking to unbrick their PSP, then find a tutorial to unbrick their PSP, and it says what to do with the PSP, obviously they're going to assume its talking about their PSP and not a spare one, unless it stated that which it didn't.

 

The guide says you need a PSP with CFW on it. If your PSP is bricked then it doesn't have anything. You tell me to use my brain but I'm not the one with a bricked PSP am I! So use your common sense just like everyone else has.

If you don't like the guide feel free to go somewhere else. I don't care if ungrateful users like you use it or not.
