    I've got a stupid brother who wanted to update my psp. I had 3.73 HX and wanted to upgrade to 3.9 m33, he put the files to the memory stick and installed one of them, Then the psp restarted and could not read anything anymore:( when i go to the game section it tells me there is no game.
    I don't know what to do, I just downloaded patapon and i really wanna play it:(
    Please help, i need my psp to start working again

    backup the files on the ms and then format the stick from psp menu, .iso games go in the ms0:/ISO folder

    that's a semi brick

    go back to 1.5 from the recovery (if still works)

    then go up to at least 3.52 m33-4

    then to 3.80 m33-5

    aply fatmsmod.prx fix from dark alex

    google up if u do not understand (this is for a fat)

    i woulf buy a extra battery and a memory if i were u(for pandora), i always go around screwing my psp so i constantly need one.
    if u find it expensive just team up with friends

    I would use dl.qj.net to get the files thought

    First, try using the fastmod patch for 3.90 and juz see whether your memory stick gets read :)
    Fastmod patch for 3.80/3.90 : HERE
    A readme.txt is included :)
    So, be sure to read it to know how to use it ^_^

    If it doesn't work, then good you have two PSPs :)
    Does other PSP have a custom firmware ??? o_O
    Then you can use THIS guide :)

    Also, to run the "pandora battery creator" software, you need the 1.50 kernel ^_^

    It's not necessary to downgrade to 1.50 and then update your PSP >_<
    This will directly update your PSP to 3.71m33-2 :)
    You can install the 3.71m33-4 update after that :)
    3.71m33-4 update : HERE
    3.80m33-5 has too many bugs >_<
    So, it's not recommended by me :)

    Did you extract the "fatmsmod.prx" from the "3.71 firmware EBOOT.PBP" and placed it in the ROOT of your memory stick ?? o_O

    You've done it wrong >_>
    After you download that file, you'll get a folder named "FATMSPATCH" :)
    Copy that "FATMSPATCH" to "ms0:\PSP\GAME" of your PSP memory stick >_>
    Now, download the official 3.71 firmware from HERE and copy the EBOOT.PBP you got from the downloaded file to the ROOT of your PSP memory stick :)
    Then download the PSARdumper application from HERE
    You'll get a folder named "PSP" :)
    Juz copy that folder to the ROOT of your PSP memory stick :)
    Now, run the PSARdumper application on your PSP :)
    And then press the "Square" button to extract the 3.71 firmware's EBOOT.PBP that you placed in the ROOT of your PSP memory stick before :)
    Then after the extraction, connect your PSP to your PC and then in the F0 folder, go to "kd" folder and copy the "fatms371.prx" to the root of your memory stick :)

    *You can delete the "F0" folder, the 3.71 "EBOOT.PBP" and the PSARdumper if you want*

    Now, run the "Fatmspatch" application :)

    thnx mate, i am downloading the files right now..
    i just got one q:
    regarding PSARdumper, If i copied the folder PSP and paste it on the memory stick main folder, it will replace the previous PSP folder, Hence, canceling the previous work we've done on PSP folder...

    It will juz "concern itself with the files it has" and it does not affect the other files :)

    aahh >_<
    Well, I guess you'll have to use "pandora battery" and a "magic memory stick" >_>
    Use THIS guide and use your friend's PSP to make the magic memory stick & pandora battery :)

    btw which memory stick do you have ?? o_O

    I hope this guide is really easy to understand, I don't understand the concept of pandora battery, but lets hope i do understand it now:D
    btw, the other psp version is 3.4 oe-a

    Well, it'll work smoothly then :)
    Also, you need an original memory stick to make a "Magic memory stick" and also it should be a Memory stick pro duo >_>

    Insert your memory stick to your friend's PSP and then in the "video" option of your PSP, press the "triangle" button on your PSP and choose "information" :)
    If MagicGate is supported, then it's an original memory stick :)
    If it shows "MagicGate unknown", it's a FAKE !!! >_>

    That may the reason why your 3.90m33 wasn't able to read your memory stick and also, you cannot make a "magic memory stick" with your memory stick >_<

    Buy a new memory stick >_>
    And this time, check whether it's original >_<
    You'll find many sony fake memroy sticks >_>
    So, well, I would recommend a "Sandisk memory stick pro duo" :)
