[GUIDE]:UPMS-V4 (Sapphire) Installer **DO NOT USE WITH CFW 4.01M33 AND ABOVE!!**

i was trying to use this guide to make a pandora ms and hack my 3.80 psp using my other 3.80 m33-5 psp now the psp that i was using doesnt work if i put the slim battery then the light turns on and it stays on but the screen stays black and i cant go to my recovery mode if i use the pandora battery and do the steps to:
turn off PSP
Remove Slim Battery
Insert U.P.M.S memory stick
turn it on
hold L
Insert Pandora Battery
let go L and press HOLD

it does it but the screen just stays on but notting happened can anybody please help me

 

Well bro you not doing it correctly to boot a Slim.

1) remove battery and MS
2) Instert your UPMS
3) Put power switch in hold (push down)
4) Hold L trigger
5) Insert your Pandora Battery

The PSP will boot up and then pause at a black screen then shut down. This is done to activate the DCv3 folder. (It and DCv4 are the only two able to be run on the Slim)

6) Remove your Pandora battery
7) Put power switch to normal (in the middle)
8) Hold L trigger
9) Insert you Pandora battery

You will now be presented with the ULoader Menu.

This is done the first time UPMS is run from a Slim. This is because Hellcats menu is active upon completion of the UPMS install.

Anytime your UPMS is used in a Phat PSP and a different folder is activated you will need to use this booting procedure the next time you run it on a Slim.

This is as easy as I can explain it.

 

Hi

Does anyone have the direct link to the UPMS expansion pack v1? Is it possible to post it? thanks

 

here ya go http://www.upms-project.com/modules.php?name=News&op=NEArticle&sid=28

 

Thankz however the links to dL the expansion pack cant seemz to work.
Is there any alternative??

 

It looks like the links are not working...I posted some instructions for adding the 3.90M33 update and the 1.50 kernel patch on the previous page (20) using the MUX 2.1 utility-as far as using a pixel fixer type of utility, just google psp pixel fixer, you can download one thats already in MP4 format right from google..Just put the file in your VIDEO folder and set it to loop or repeat on the psp.

 

hey if you need a pixel fixer here is one created for psp (and lcd monitors)
it has a very high success rate!!
it comes in psp format (all you need to do is un-zip it)

ye stole me old sig IDEA!!!
oh well you can have the files i was playing around with

""
another one


and one without the red font in the corner

i'll make a .gif of it:+)

BTW THE DOWNL0AD LINK ON THE FIRST PAGE HAS GONE INVALID UPDATE IT FOR OTHER USERS!!

 

well thanks it works to hack a slim but i still cant unbrick my slim because it stays a long time in formatting flash 1 and it freezes

 

@tripplite-thanks for the heads up on the download link-It appears that the guys are making a couple revisions on the installer to make it a bit more 'noob-friendly'
-also sorry about your Siggy, I used that because when I was changing this guide, it took about 5 minutes to load the page. Wasnt trying to steal your ideas.

In the meantime-I have temporarily uploaded the Sapphire version to sendspace for others that want to use it..I will update the link to the UPMS site when it becomes available..

 

I've copied the three OFW to my root with correct names, put the cso in my iso folder, and when I try to run it, it says game cannot be started.

(PSP is fat 3.90 M33 and I'm trying to do this to run CFW on a slim)
This makes the pandora battery, correct?

 

What is the error number you are getting? (80020___)

Make sure your NO-UMD is set correctly-NP9660 works best.



EDIT:**Download link for the installer is operational again**
-Be sure to follow the instructions, and have a look at the readme file that comes with the installer-

 

80020321

and what's the no UMD thing?? sorry, I'm new to all this still.

 

Thats the error you get when you try to run a CSO or ISO and dont have a UMD game in the drive...

While you have the psp on and in the main menu, press the SELECT button and a little menu will popup on your screen-Scroll to the option that says 'UMD ISO MODE' using the D-pad change the selection from Normal to Sony NP9660-when you are done, scroll to exit and try running the cso again.

 

ahh, nevermind. thanks for the guide dude, worked like a charm :]

 

Hi, I'm having problems with my Phat that has a buggy 3.90m33

I'm unable to boot the UPMS (Sapphire) menu even if I hold L trigger while inserting the battery, it boots up normally to XMB.

The odd thing is that it works on my other Phat and Slim.

What should I do?

 

this is the 2nd unbricker i've tried to used and it's basically just not working for me

anyway back to my problem. i followed the steps correctly, but when i start the UPMS Installer (i have it in the iso folder) it tells me to press x to continue which i do.

then it says PSP MODEL : standard.
step 1. IPL Tools
Step 2. Battery Tools
Step 3. Firmware Tools
Step 4. Utilities and Maintenance Options

Format Fake Memory stick.
Credits
Exit installer.

I can't choose any of them and i don't know why. the only option i can do is change the brightness of my PSP

I'm running 3.40 OE-A

if thats wrong, can some1 please link me to a correct firmware?

thanks and sorry for my ignorance on this program.

 

Any chance any1 could link to the 1.50 Kernel Patch?
(would be best if this was linked to in the guide)

They are here:

YOU FORGOT TO MENTION TO PUT THE DAM 1.5 FW UPDATE AS UPDATE.PBP ON THE ROOT OF THE MEMORY STICK. I EXITED THE INSTALLER AND NOW MY MEMORY STICK CAN NOT BE READ, THANKS A LOT!

EDIT
Luckily I was able to format it in a new slim. Add the step that u need to add the UPDATE.PBP to the guide please.

 

ADD THAT TO YOUR GUIDE PLEASE SO OTHERS DON'T MESSUP THEIR MEMORY STICKS BECAUSE OF YOU!

 

when it tells you that you don't have UPDATE.PBP on the stick, it offers to do it for you.... so why'd you exit?

 

Because it says:
"(It would be much faster if you did this yourself)"
