    i think you have not yet done the 'Magic memory stick' but your pandora battery is done...so you have to do the 'Magic memory stick' again..

    You need to use the Format Memory Stick option within UPMS, removing your card when asked to do so by it.
    The boot partition is to small to hold the custom IPL, that is why it's corrupting.

    Please when people have a problem you must post more information like the PSP you are using, people who are trying to help you out don't know if you using a Fat or Slim & Lite and these both have different boot procedures.

    UPMSInstallerV3r3 was released the other day so I would use this version now.

    Thanks

    Do you have a Fat or Slim psp, also do you have a pandora bat and ms set.

    If you do have all of the above and your on a slim then do this.

    Remove bat
    put mms in slot
    push power switch down to hold
    hold left trigger
    insert battery
    Slim should startup then shutdown.
    Remove bat
    push power switch to normal
    hold left trigger
    insert battery
    ultimate loader should now boot.

    How are we supposed to make a magic stick if CFW is required? And to downgrade, a pandora battery is needed as well, which also requires CFW. and the pandora requires the magic stick, does it not?

    I guess my question is, how is it possible to downgrade an official FW PSP if everything requires CFW?

    Make sure the WLAN switch is turned off, I have found a few probs with UL not showing up if this is turned on, might be something to do with Hellcats Menu.

    I just followed this guide and everything worked perfectly! I used a PSP with firmware 3.03 OE-C to create the Pandora battery and magic stick. Next I upgraded a second PSP with OFW 3.72 to 3.80 M33-5 and then also upgraded the first PSP directly to 3.80 M33-5 as well!

    I have used this guide several times and have successfully downgrade 2 slims and 3 fat psp.

    This is the problem:

    After I make the pandora battery and MS. I insert my MS first, hold L down and then put battery into PSP FAT. THE PSP SCREEN GETS STUCK ON THE ULIMATE LOADER SCEEN, I CANNOT MOVE THE CURSOR like it froze.

    I tried this on another fat and the cursor successfully. The other PSP is working fine.

    Sny suggestions

    I kept getting the "memory card cannot be read" error after installing the UPMS, which lead to the installer not loading on the psp i.e. black screen with just green light. I know quiet alot of people are getting this problem.

    I solved it by making sure my psp is plugged into the ac adapter before I did step 3 of the installer. Now it works for me

    Hope that helps everyone.

    I'm back :)

    Anyways, I want to ask, if I selected NO, for installing UPDATE.PBP, does the UPDATE.PBP (1.50 EBOOT?) go into the root of the MS? Thanks.
