GUIDE: Universal Unbricker V3 Using Official Firmware FAT/SLIM PSP.

I started the pandora battery program on my psp but it wont start it says "The game could not be started.(8002014C)

 

You can not run the OS Pandora Tool Battery on an offical PSP. You need to Hardmod the Battery or buy a Datel Tool Battery. Read the guide more close.

 

can anyone tell me if this 4sure works with the slims with OFW 3.72


i got everything ready just kinda scared to go 4 it because of Bricking my new psp lol


Thx

No, I'm running XP.

 

@bluedim: I think you might be having the problem I was having, so give my modified start to setting up the memstick a try. It's near the bottom on page 7, can't miss it, as it's a pretty huge post. I think what's happening is your bootloader step isn't executing properly because the memstick isn't being formatted correctly to accept it. I had the same problems you did, but after going through my steps, it worked like a charm.

 

If I was reading your post correctly, you were trying to get the menu up to install the firmware right? I get the menu when I put the memory stick and the pandora battery in. The problem I'm having is after installing the firmware my PSP, it wont turn on. If I'm wrong let me know.

 

Ah, sorry, yeah, that's a different problem entirely. Mine installed perfectly fine after that, and everything went like a charm after doing that first boot off of the memory stick. It sounds like you could just reinstall the package again, after making sure you have all the files installed properly, of course. As others have said, there might have been a corrupted file. I can't see any other reason why 3.71 M33 wouldn't work, otherwise. However, to ensure your memory stick is perfectly set up, you could follow my steps, as it makes that process manual, and you'd know if anything errored out. After that, you'd just start over with the firmware installs.

 

no i was talking about the Universal Unbricker V3 Using Official Firmware

i did not know 4 sure if it would install 3.71 m33-2 on my psp without Bricking it because ppl are telling me all kinds of things about hacking mine and one guy sent me here said it would work but i wanted to make sure it would carry my psp 3.72 to 3.71 m33-2 without Bricking or Messing it up id kinda like to keep mine running lol

i just wanted to check b4 i did it

 

ok thank you so much i got the daxter psp so it came with a 1 gig sony Memstick

all i got to do then is Try to Hardmod the slim Battery and i guess im all set maby everything will go ok

another question tho about the bettery so far i was thinking one review said i can just use the cored instead of an extra battery i was wondering if you new anything about that ?

or should i wait and get another slim battery ?

 

if i order a D tool Battery there is no modding right ?

id rather get a Tool battery then to Take a chance =/

only thing is that battery just a one time use only or can it be used as a full time battry or spare ?

sorry for all the questions

 

Thanks so much i think im going to look around for one and buy one and do it that way keeps me from messing up a good battery

and ill follow this Guide step by step and maby ill get my psp from 3.72 to 3.71 m33-2 soon enof

Thanks a million ya really helped

 

Hi im a real nooob to doing all this stuff. I have read all nine pages of this forum and could find nothing matching my particular problem. I have the psp slim, daetel too phat battery and 1 gig magic mem card. 1st problem i came across was in formating the mem stick. I got right to the last step until it says hit y to finish the process. (After it has finished writing the files you will get an image similar to below. Just type Y and ENTER to finish the instillation of files to the Magic memory Stick. ) I get to this part and the image doesnt even come up just fnishes i guess by itself and closes the command window. Is there something i did wrong?..i then tried continuing with the steps by inserting the battery and all i get is the green light if sum1 could help me or have ne suggestions it would be really appreciated

 

@maddstyle: Maybe my introduction wasn't specific enough, but on page 7, I explain how, if that exact problem occurs, you can do the memory stick setup manually, if you go and grab a couple of files (msinst.exe and mspformat.exe). It seems like it's a pretty rare thing for this to happen, but if you follow my modified steps for setting up your memory card, you should have no problems after that. I did the exact steps I described (and a bunch more wasted ones as I tried to figure out what was going wrong) and had no problems.

 

@maddstyle

I bet you're using vista, thats exactly what happened to me.

I also tried the method using msinst.exe and mspformat.exe files as mentioned by delateur. This did not work for me on my vista machine.

The only way i could get it to work was on an xp machine.

 

LARRY I NEED HELP IVE LOOKED AT YOUR GUIDE AND IT SEEMS JUST WHAT IM LOOKING FOR WHEN IT COMES TO THE BIT WHERE IT SAYS CONNECT PSP TO PC USING USB IM GETTING STUCK IT WILL NOT CONNECT IVE TRYED USING WINDOWS XP AND VISTA ANY IDEAS? THANX

 

dude if you can't do that, it's not something we can help you with. That's like asking us "How do I turn on my PC" sorry but your sol if ya can't go to usb connection on your psp and hit x.
