When I insert my battery first only the power light comes on, but when I insert the magic memory stick the other lights turn on, so I'm not quite sure whats up. :confused1:
Oh yes and the memory stick I used was a pro duo sandisk (512mb)
I should also say that I also used a fat battery in a slim, but I was told that it would still work.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that you'll need to boot your PSP without the battery and have the AC adapter inserted. Then follow the magic memory stick portion of the guide again.

Ok I'll try this and see how it works out.
Also am I right in thinking that you can still use Hellcat's Pandora Installer for 3.XX Rev 3b if your on 4.01m33-2 instead of the latest hellcat pandora installer?

What's weird, but convenient for me is the fact that I don't need to plug my PSP in the AC adaptor to normalize my Pandora Battery.
In fact, I am actually using it as a normal battery right now.
If I want to downgrade someone's PSP, I simply put it in after the Magic Memory Stick and hold my selected button (the one you set in Despertar del Cementerio) to bring up the menu where I can select
Install 4.01 M33 or Install 4.01 OFW etc etc

If I want to normalize it, I just open up Pandora Installer and choose the option.

Great!

@lion9t Hellcats recovery flasher can downgrade 3.71 M33-2 for you since you already have CFW. Perhaps an older version can do 3.90 M33-3 honestly I can't remember.

Or you could simply launch Despertar_cementerio5 to get 3.90 M33-3

Well still confused...

First of all i begin by apollagise if i make some mistakes because i simple am not an english native speaker...


thanks to this forum i learned a lot...
however still having some doubts about the psp

Recently i bought a psp already with version 4.1 m33 to my kid.
Once I know that sometimes kids (and grown ups) brick their psp... before i give it to him i wanna make a backup (narm backup right?) so that if something happens i can revert the process to the actual state.

I have been reading a lot about instaling and downgrading psp's (making pandora baterys etc etc etc) but can anyone help me how to make a "backup" and "restore" of the console into/from a ms?

Is the process the same as to downgrade it???

Do I need all this steps???


Thanks!

Are you sure that it's possible to make a battery coversion to pandora using a fat battery in a slim, because when using the battery and memory stick i made using this guide to unbrick my original psp i've had no luck.

Just follow everything in this guide to the letter. I've tried it out and everything works just fine. I even wrote a guide on another site, but this one is WAY better.

I have a 3.80 m33-5 Phat used for pandorizing the memstick and the phat battery (1800mAh). all went well but when i stuch the magic memstick and the pandora bat to the 3.60 (australian version) PSP slim, it doesn't seem to work.
