@deepansh- did you get your problem sorted with the memory stick? I would be very suprised if you managed to brick your psp by creating a pandora battery with the UPMS program as it does not touch your psp's internal memory at all-Try taking the battery and memory stick out and plugging it in with the just the AC adaptor-See if you boot to the XMB..Another option seeing that you are running custom firmware, is you could run the recovery eboot from the recovery console. But I seriously doubt you are bricked, I am sure its just something with the memory stick not having the IPL written properly.

@don010- Thank you for the kind words-The hardest part of putting one of these guides together is having to go back and edit everything when a newer version of something comes out and there are a lot of revisions-But its mostly copied and pasted from the original with edits of my own. So its not too bad...

 

thank you so much this is the easies Ultimate Pandora's Magic Stick
olny in you forum afterdawn

 

thanks 2 brozeghost for all ur help mate the other night geting psp goin again

Hi Deez, i tried everything but it still doesnt turn on, at one point i tried pressing all the buttons at once and the memory and wlan light started flickering non stop but nothing else happened....

i tried with 16mb memory stick but no go

 

a 16MB memory stick? I didnt know one existed....You need one at least 256MB to use this program...

Are you able to boot into recovery mode at all? Try removing your battery and memory stick from the psp and plug in your AC adaptor, then while powering the psp on, hold down the R trigger button to boot into recovery mode.

 

Hi dEEz, i meant that i took out the 4gig which i used to create pandoras battery and had a spare 16mb one from my camera which i used to turn on the psp, it doesnt go into the recovery mode

 

Ok, if you take out the memory sticks and the battery and plug in the AC adaptor, what happens when you try to get into recovery mode? Does the psp turn on then off after about 20 seconds?

Do you remember what custom firmware version you were running prior?
Did you have any custom themes running on your psp when attempting to create the pandora battery?

 

Nothing happens at all, it just doesnt turn on at all, i had version 3.53 M33

 

Hi dEEz,
just an update.... this time i once again very carefully tried to turn on my psp in recovery mode, instead of the right button i pressed the left one thinking just in case it might boot up this time to the pandora menu, and guess what! the mem stick light and the wlan light turns on but is not stopping to flicker, its been 5 minutes now and the lights are still flickering......

 

hi all.please help me if u can!!.i have managed to downgrade to 1.5 and i cant seem to upgrade to 3.71??? these are the steps im taking.
1. boot up with pandora battery and magic mem stick in.
2. select Despertar del Cementerio v3

everytime time i click on that i get a brief message saying
pandora menu loader not installed
please reboot your psp and install it

and then i go back to the previous screen.
has anyone got any ideas as i cannot get it to work??

 

What happens when you have the memory stick and battery removed from the psp, and on AC power? Does the psp power on? You should be able to boot into recovery mode if you have the battery and memory stick out of the psp. Try doing that, and hold down the R trigger button while powering up.

 

Are you using the pandora battery and UPMS from this guide? If so, you may want to go back and reinstall the files to your memory stick from step one so it will work for you.

It sounds like you are missing something on your memory stick that is preventing you from updating to 3.71M33, like the kxploit patcher?

Seeing that you are currently running 1.50-I would recommend using the guide found HERE to get your psp running 3.71M33-4

 

I like this new revision bro. Sorry I haven't been around we have been busy on our forums. Just wanted to pop in and see how you folks are getting on. Seems all is well. dEEz come visit us on the forums bro. Again we thank you for helping us spread the word of this, and offering an alternative place for excellent help. Keep it up bro and I hope to see you on our forum sometime.

 

Can anyone help me here?
I'm sorry i'm a real noob about pandora.

Anyway, i installed UPMS on my PSP Phat 3.71 M33-4
When i exit to xmb from the cso
My memory stick cannot be read?
Help me pls..
PLus when i Hold R + Pandora Battery inserted.
it straight goes to xmb & says:
Ur memory stick cannot be read.
Please go format it balalalala.a..

Help me i'm very scared of spoiling my PSP.

 

This informs me that you have a fake memory stick, here are some things you could try.

First format the ms in psp, copy all files needed, then launch UPMSInstaller, from step 1 install the standard IPL, then boosters IPL, if the same thing happens you will need to try this method.

Download Pandoras GUI 1.5, use this app to format your ms, remove the ms from whatever you using then reinsert copy the files needed for install, remove ms, reinsert ms, now launch UPMSInstaller and from step 1 install the standard IPL, then install boosters ipl, quit the installer and see if you get the same message, if not launch UPMSInstaller again and continue with the rest of the steps.

 

I created the pandora battery,
how can i confirm it is a Pandora battery?
EDIT: Confirmed Pandora Battery

Darn, yea it is fake.
So i copy the UPMS.cso to the ISO folder after i format it?

EDIT: I did everything u said
When i exit xmb, memory stick cannot be read!

 

Did you try both ways I suggested, including using Pandoras GUI 1.5, also your could try using mspformat if you can, I had a 4GB fake donated to me by one of our forum members who had the same problem, this was the only way it would work, for some fakes anyways, some just don't have the required space for ipl partition.

 

I can't find a guide to use Pandora GUI!!
Can give me a link by PM or here? (is it illegal?)

Thx for reply, I'm really scared if i screw up my PSP
BTW, can i convert back my battery to normal?
My memory stick is formatted & I guess IPL is gone?
Is it possible to convert back to normal battery?
