[islander480]

[Luminavi]

thumbs up. it has worked for me. thx bro.

[echoeren257]

uhmm..exactly where do i go when i get to the link? - -"

[FlamingRoseStudios]

is it possible to go from 5.00 M33 to this. Just wanna make sure....

[agungEX]

can you write hot to it on the discription, and how do I know that my psp is Gen-A?

does it work on PSP 2000?

[GadgetHacker]

@agungEX It works on 2000, ONLY on Custom Firmware. System -> System Information.

[agungEX]

@GadgetHacker

my system software is 5.03 M33-6

wtf is that meant?

[GadgetHacker]

@agungEX What PSP do you have? Do you have a PSP 3000? Do you have to do an exploit everytime your turn off your PSP?

[agungEX]

@GadgetHacker I got PSP 2000, but i think its like chicken or smthing. So if I took the batery out, I have to go to:

Picture --> Memory Stick

and then the PSP restart. to open the game I have to go to :

Game --> Memory Stick --> CWFEnabler 3.30

So, if I want to play a new game. I have to download that iso file. And sometimes when I download it, it doesnt work on mine.

help me please! thanks

[GadgetHacker]

@agungEX You can't upgrade a ChickHen enabled PSP to any cfw firmware, if you do, it would brick. Upgrade to 5.03 prometheus

[agungEX]

@GadgetHacker How do I upgrade my ChickHen PSP 2000 to 5.03 promentheus?

[GadgetHacker]

@agungEX sorry, dont have a tutorial for ChickHen because I dont have a non-cfw'ed psp, but here is the link, it's pretty easy to follow from the Installation area. tinyurl(dot)com(slash)503com

[GadgetHacker]

@agungEX sorry, dont have a tutorial for ChickHen because I dont have a non-cfw'ed psp, but here is the link, it's pretty easy to follow from the Installation area. tinyurl(dot)com(slash)503com remove the (dot) and (slash) replace it symbols respectively

[agungEX]

@agungEX is it CFWEnabler thing? because I am new to psp

[mysticsack]

how did you do this on a mac?

[rivaldragonic]

Thanks dude, this method worked for me.

Its probably worth mentioning that I had to update my anchient v3.02 OE-B custom firmware to v3.52 M33-3 first before it would let me run the 5.50 GEN-A updater. But once I did that, it ran like clockwork. (Thumbed up!)

[lRilLlLa]

it works thanks

[thrasher956]

Thanks holmes.. I like it when you said, "the update is actually really quick but, you have to wait a while." hahah

[GadgetHacker]

@thrasher956 hahahahahaha LOL i didnt notice i said that xD oh well, maybe what i meant before was, it's very fast when you're not paying attention to it :D

[msmh89]

respec.. frm jamaica

[kabal9900]

mine is 3.4 and says needs like 3.52+ to do update to gen a.. should i just use a game to update it???

[GadgetHacker]

@kabal9900 never use a game to update your system, it will update it to official firmware and you can never go back unless you have a pandora's battery

[concretecertified]

This Really Worked. I Appreciate It Bro

[thefloodedvenger]

[alexdeamaral]

you think u can tell me which download it is in ur mediafire cos i cant see wat one

[jewelzQ8]

Please reply for the sake of my PSP :"""(

I recently bought a psp which is version 5.50 ... but the problem is I can't play any game in ISO or CSO files... it should be a CD so I can play...

how can I solve this problem and does the link in the info bar help in any way ?

cuz they told me I need a CFW but it's not available in my country and they made me think I made the wrong choice by buying this one?

so can u help me T^T .....

[jewelzQ8]

@jewelzQ8 I found the Gen-a & b files but not on ur link

hopefully I'll go through the steps u made and get a good result XD

and skip my Q's cuz the answer was on the end of ur video

thumbs up and faved :D

[Gezwadi]

@jewelzQ8 1st of all you need a pandora battery which you can either buy off ebay for about £8 which is about $14 and then you need to download a magic memory stick update. you can use any memory stick but you need to download the update to the memory stick. and then you need custom firmware for it all to work properly. this wont work on the newest versions of psp (from psp-3000 upwards) because these are un-hackable. there are many helpful videos on youtube that show you. hope this helps :-)

[jewelzQ8]

@Gezwadi thatnx alot! that helps alot!

well is there a way to downgrade the PSP

cuz we tried to upgrade it but the motherboard was gone by that... so I'm kinda afraid of instaling anything ... but really thanx for the info and I'll go by what u said :D

[TheDevenrocks]

how can i get ctf themes for gen?

[rippac17]

Nevermind.... I got it. Thanks mang

[rippac17]

Hey I tried to update the gen-b and it say Bad PSP hardware dected!!! Cannot run on Phat. I do got a phat is there a way to make this work?

[vergelnicolasvillena]

[GadgetHacker]

@vergelnicolasvillena yes, i have the latest firmware, i will be making a video on it soon. the latest firmware is 5.50GEN-D3 for custom firmware, but DO NOT UPGRADE TO 6.XX, THEY CANNOT BE CFW'ED YET.

[whiteblade212]

[pyroghost11]

Hey all

Can anyone explain how to update from 3.40 OE-A to 5.50 ???

I'm really stuck, so any help would be appreciated!!!

[killhiri]

u have to update to 5.50 a first(I think)...

[PilotRiaz]

Hey, Very cool tutorial.

After you have copied the files to the PSP you say to turn off the PSP and then go to Recovery mode, holding the R trigger and turning on the PSP

Do you need to use the Pandora battery to go into recovery mode or is a normal battery ok?

I have CFW 3.40E by the way

[megaprotoforte]

Does it work on my PSP 2000 (firmware 3.90)?

[funkyleon321]

[Darkstarr45]

Tnx dude it worked even though my psp was ver. 5.00 m33-3 now its 5.50 gen b (Full)

[JoshuaHazelwood]

Wait...I downloaded the plugins and files to use a program that lets me record video from my PSP. Will this update erase them?

[BigEvilLadia23]

[onewhosucksblood2]

[sij12]

my psp is 5.00 M33-4 and I want 5.50Gen... can i upgrade it??

and I cant find the 5.50Gen-B in that link in the description

[MacBrebonicks]

I added the update to the correct folder. But when the update starts running it says it cannot find the PBP file.

[Maximje1]

its not work can i have a firware custom for tzhe psp 3004 slim and lit`??

[GadgetHacker]

No, the PSP 3XXX cannot be hacked unless you use the ChickHEN exploit on firmware 5.03

[19ensar]

i got psp version 5.03 GEN -C (Full)

CAN i upgrade it TO 5.50???????

and i got psp model 3004!!!

[GadgetHacker]

NO!!! IF YOU HAVE 5.03GEN-C, you should be happy, as that is probably the last custom firmware that would not brick your PSP.

[Yahooxz]

wait... it says "5.50 GEN-B (Full) but an iso game didn't work.

[GadgetHacker]

Because you haven't set your UMD Driver properly yet. You have to go to the recovery menu, click on Configuration, and then down in UMD Driver, choose M33 Driver (NO UMD) and then it should work.

[ginoongprince]

@GadgetHacker same problem, but mine is already set to that configuration that you have suggested but it doesnt work still ,. my games wont start,.

[seanychoiboi]

@GadgetHacker well it doesnt work when i try DX

whenever i try to play an iso file, it doeznt work... even when i try putting the m33 driver

[nachoguana]

[GadgetHacker]

[56789023495874839203]

Did this and now none of my games are working... Any reason why?

[GadgetHacker]

Yup, go into recovery mode (R trigger when booting up) and then go into Configuration. Down below you would see Normal (UMD REQUIRED). Click until you see M33 Driver (NO UMD REQUIRED)
