*****************************

READ DESCRIPTION !!!

*****************************

Ok this is Part 1 of 2 of my turorial for how i installed CFW on my psp without a pandora battery
the things you will need are.
1. PSP (of course) you will need a fat or slim and lite psp. the 3000 version
and the version with the TA-88v3 mother board won't work.
2. a mini USB cable (to connect the psp to the pc.)
3. a memory stick pro duo. (you know the one you put in the psp.
4. Firmware 5.03. if you have a lower firmware you can update to it but don't update any further then firmware 5.03.

WARNING! Firmware 5.50 isn't supported... yet.
ChickHEN and people are working on a ChickHEN version for 5.50 which is supposed to be coming out in june or something so when that happens you'll be able to use time machine to downgrade to 5.03 to do this. just be patient,

you may also want to try turning off auto UMD and UMD cache and format the psp memory card before doing this.

and DON'T i repeat DON'T turn off your psp during the CFW installation. cause you WILL brick your psp! and have to buy a pandora's battery to fix it.
you also don't need any specific amount of battery charge. if you think you don't have enough charge to last the install you can just plug in your ac charger thing.

You can download the software you need here.

Firmware 5.03 update file download.

Second of all YES! IT DOES WORK ON ALL PHAT PSP'S the psp IN THE VIDEO is a phat one! QUIT ASKING!

After I do this can I upgrade strait to 6.60 ME-1.6???

[nfistfu]

@JustSomeComputerNerd I've tried upgrading to later firmwares myself and I found 5.50 GEN D3 was easy to install straight from 5.00m33 but the firmwares after 6.00 usually require you install a later OFW before installing. 5.50 GEN D3 allows me to do all the things I want do so I never really bothered trying to install later CFW. But I'm pretty sure that there is a way to get it done.

[RosesWater]

will this work on a slim 2003 as i need to put cfw on it

[nfistfu]

@RosesWater It's simple to find out. Just run ChickHEN and then run pspident. That will tell you what motherboard you have. If you have a TA-088v3 Motherboard you won't be able to put cfw on but if it's is anything other then that you can put CFW on it.

[ThePrelude1999]

do you have to used a MEMORY STICK 32gb?

[nfistfu]

@ThePrelude1999 No. No you don't. Any memory stick will work.
