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

HELP NEEDED.

I recently upgraded to 3.71 m33-3. It doesnt let me open games from the memory stick and ive noticed in the iso folder there a video folder as well as the normal one, even when i format the card its the same.

So imtrying to get back to 3.40 which was working fine before on my Phat PSP.

Ive tried to follow the thread THE ULTIMATE PANDORA's MAGIC STICK to the letter, first time round on step 3 i selected hellcat duo version which gave me error while initializing: 0x8ca10002. So i loaded the trio version and all was well. Ive followed all the steps and unplugged then held the l trigger and inserted the battery, but it wont start at all like that the orange & green lights just flash as fast as possible and the black screen just sits there.

I just want to play games again and wished i hadnt of bothered.

I need some help too...

I created the the pandora fine(well, almost)
So, when I insert the MS, hold the L button, and then insert the battery, all I get is a dark screen on my slim. does anybody know what could be the problem? the first couple of times I used it, the black screen appeared but somehow i got the main menu to appear and I upgraded my slim to a 3.71 m33-2 ...it worked well for a while but then when i tried the Joker menu, my psp sort of semi bricked? the battery didnt work... so after a few tries to get it back on I plugged the ac adaptor and got to change the battery back to normal and now the psp battery work fine but it does not work when i turn it into a pandora

any help?

 

I'm sure you need the HOLD button to be activated on the Slim, then hold the L trigger. I might be talking trash, but I saw that somewhere.

 

Go into recovery mode and change your 'NO-UMD' settings so your iso's will work (sony-NP9660)

As far as your memory stick woes are concerned-try running the installer again, you must have missed something along the way- Because it will boot to the UL menu on fat psp's-and for slim psp's all the lights will flash for a second and then bring up the DCv3 menu.

 

You guys can also use the VSH Menu to change the UMD Mode.
3.52 use the home button, and 3.71 use the select button.

 

^^That is correct-The HOLD button (or ON/OFF switch) should actually be in the middle position to begin with-Not in the HOLD position where it locks the buttons....But you still want to hold down the L trigger first.

Here is how I get the slim going with the UPMS+Battery
1>Remove slim battery
2>Insert UPMS
3>Hold L trigger button
4>Insert Pandora battery
5>push HOLD(ON/OFF) switch up (as if you were turning on the PSP from a powered off state)

And just an FYI-You would only want to use the DCv3 menu for "enhancing" the slim psp-even though the hellcat and joker menus will appear on slim psp's
But it should just go to DCv3 by default on the slim...

 

Wow. You've added even more detail. I wish you can give points or karma or something...
You done a great job for putting this tutorial up.

yo, creditz man.. creditz...

 

^^I appreciate that-I went through the guide last night and cleaned it up a little and added a few sidenotes to make it a little easier for people...

If anyone deserves creditz though, its ovrfiendX and Bronz3gh0st, those are the guys that brought us this amazing setup-I just put the guide together.

 

Well ovrfiendX and Bronz3gh0st gets credit for the real thing but you get credit for posting it

 

Where do I make the ISO folder?

3>While in USB mode-copy the UPMS installer.cso into your ISO folder.

wherr is the "root of the memory stick?

 

the root is where ur PSP,MUSIC,PHOTO,MP ROOT folder is situated...

 

Ok i have a problem,
after following the tut, i can get it to work on my FAT psp with 3.71 m33 firmware.

with the FAT psp w/ 3.71 m33 custom firmware
1) power off
2) take out MS and battery
3) put in MS then hold on L
4) put in magic battery
5) let go of L when the screen/orange light flashes, then i see the menu and can do all the stuff with the trio thing

with SLIM psp w/ 3.60 OFFICIAL firmware
1) power off
2) take out MS and battery
3) put in MS and hold on L
4) put in MAGIC BATTERY
5) either
a) scren flashes and i let go of L but screen stays black
b) screen doesnt flash and psp shuts off

what am i doing wrong?

 

Alright, I understand how to flash the fat psp's but for a slims, when you install ** upgrade slims to 3.71-2 M33, you dont need to downgrade or anything right, just have to run Despertar del Cementerio v3 and you can't have kernal 1.5 on slims right?

 

Hi the problem is medal of honour 2, works fine on my sons 3.40 Phat psp, but freezes on mine

 

tring to run 3333333 update and getting 80020148 error.

Please help.

 

so what you did is pretty much left you self the option on witch one you want to install?

 

what if you took the 3.52M33 update out and replaced it with the 3.40oe-a CF. will it automaticaly go to the black screen and install? or will it just downgrade the psp to 1.5 and you would have to upgrade it manually?

 

can someone please help, i also tried flicking the on button on the slim
same thing happens
it works 100% with my FAT psp that has Custom firmware 3.71 m33
but for the SLIM with 3.60 offical firmware i just get a black screen and then the psp shuts off.

 

Sounds like you are doing it correctly-Try pushing the HOLD (on/off) switch up after you have inserted your pandora battery..I find that the menu doesnt always come up when you just insert the battery on slims...

If it works OK on your fat psp, it should just as well on the slim.

 

i tried it about three times but the screen stays blank then the psp shuts off(even with the pressing on button)

the orange MS light never goes off either

what am i doing wrong?
