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

no other lights beside the green battery light

 

for some reason, whenever I run this I never get the screen that has the ipl installer info (the last dos screen on the memory stick section)

 

You must have that screen to properly advance! That was the same problem with me too. I'm not quite sure how to fix it. All i did was this.
You are about to format the drive 'G' (G letter of your drive), i pressed y and enter. Then i waited for the Memory stick LED for it to finish flashing and then i TOOK OUT THE MEMORY STICK FIRST! DISABLED USB, PUT MEMORY STICK IN AND ENABLED USB MODE.

Try doing it.

 

I get an error that says
"target drive is 3
check partition sector
cannot open device \\.\physicaldrive3
cannot read partition sector
press any key to continue"

 

when you use windows to format, did you format in FAT of FAT32? I did FAT.

 

Hmm, use a different USB port i suppose. If that still doesn't work, use a computer which is XP.

That means your drive is bad, make sure you format memory stick using windows and then follow my last post.
Formatting is important, it clears your data and the IPL gets put in.

 

I used FAT32. My screen came exactly the same as Larryljie. Except the memory stick space of course.

 

I also noticed that when I press y to format the drive, the memory card LED does not flash.

 

It should do... I'm not really sure about what is exactly wrong. Can you just post the images and steps really carefully of what you do. That way we can get a clear image of your problems.

EDIT: You must format to FAT32!

 

thanks much deathlord

 

I have don everything exactly like it says in the tutorial. Even retried it by formatting it fat32. I keep getting the same error. I only have three memory sticks, a 512mb, 32mb and 8gb and have tried all of them and all get the same error. I did not format in fat32 on the xp machine I used earlier today and will try that tomorrow.

 

I am wondering, does this guide work with a fake 4gb mem stick, I found out mine was fake a few days ago.

 

Hi All noob here!

Q: will this work with the new "slim n Lite" version? as i want to get one for my son.

many thanks in advance

 

yes it will. all you have to do is buy a Datel battery and make a magic memory stick.

 

I still want to know whether a fake mem stick is compatible with this guide

 

Read the past post and guide it has been answered already.

 

so I got it to work on xp. I am about to install the update section.

 

clicked on the update and selected 3.80 m33 and my memory card led started flashing and has been flashing continuously for a while and I can't do anything. is this normal?

 

I now have cfw 3.80 m33 on my psp. I put an iso in the iso folder, click on the game and then it gives me an error that the game cannot be started.

 

got everything working finally, thanks for the guide and the help!!!
