4.01 M33 Easy Installation Guide

[silver_surfer]

@ saDdy: it's already posted below your post.

anyway download Sony's OFW 4.01 then rename the eboot to 401.pbp then get

DA's CFW 4.01 m33-2 and extract it. get the UPDATE folder then copy it to ms0:/PSP/GAME

so you should have a ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE (update folder contains eboot.pbp of CFW 4.01 m33-2)

place the 401.pbp inside the UPDATE folder now you have two files inside ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE

(update folder contains eboot.pbp of CFW 4.01 m33-2 & 401.pbp)

then in the XMB execute the M33-2 update (just follow the succeeding instructions)

The Universal Installer (Pandora) is the only way.

[jquest07]

I really need help, I am totally new to this and I have software version 4.01, how do I install this software. I saw it on someone else's psp and I liked it, but I can't be too sure if I'll see them at the subway station again, but I did remember this website. Please help!

@ heckal2: you can't run it with official firmware

@ jquest07: you need pandora kit to convert your official firmware psp to custom firmware

Hi MKH,

First of all i think you miss this at 1st page; you'll need to have a psp that's on custom firm ware(CFW).

(Here is a detailed step by step guide for installing the newly released 4.01 M33. Please note that you must be running 3.52 M33-3, or higher to begin this installation. Do note that if you're already running 3.80 M33 and have a WiFi connection, you can simply update to 3.90 M33 by selecting Network Update from the PSP XMB.)

I believe you are still on OFW. Follow this link to create a pandora batt & Magic Memory Stick (MMS) if you have any friends holding on to a custom psp so that you can change your psp from OFW to CFW. 8)

I appreciate your reply, however I don't know what a pandora's kit is, I found "pandora related" but nothing actually saying it's a pandora's kit. Please help, I need to be walked through this.

 

[Acerthief]

the OE here means any OE version right? like mines is 3.4 OE-A ?

thanks.

Yes, so you'll need to upgrade to 3.52M33 first.
