Just copy the 5.00 EBOOT.PBP into the update directory with the name 500.pbp (rename and THEN copy to avoid overwriting the update EBOOT.PBP file), then run the update from the XMB.

Something is wrong with your memory stick possibly. Try formatting it or use a different one if available.

<p>Umm...I have 3.52 M33-4, and I don't have an EBOOT.PBP file. Games like Crisis Core still work. I just got Dissidia, and I obviously can't play it and I'm trying to update to 5.00, but I don't know how to do it! If I don't have an UPDATE folder or an EBOOT.PBP, what do I do?</p>

Did you even download the ZIP archive? There is an UPDATE folder there with the required files...

Since you are 3.52 M33 you'll also need to download the 5.00 firmware update, name it as 500.PBP, and place it in the UPDATE folder.

Eternal update freeze then full brick

I put the update folder and 500.pbp in their proper place, ran the update, got to a very official looking psp update.
It proceeded to update up to 99%, jump down to 80 or 84% and repeat, forever.
The only option was to remove the battery/ac, psp (fat 1001) was then fully bricked and unresponsive.
I have no idea what is the magical trick to this update.

It's not suppose to go to anything above 84%, dunno why, but it's not suppose to.

Upgrade from 3.52 m33-4: solution

i try that. it gets to the screen where it say unpacking.. then done and says please wait but then goes no further then that just stays there for ever. left it for over hour yesterday just to see and never moved. do you have a copy of it that you know works that can send me.

I had the same problem... Then I realised I had kernel 1.50 running. Change your kernel to 3.52 in recovery mode (boot up psp with "R" pressed in and go to "Configuration". Worked for me!

DEAR EXOPHASE,

First of all, please dont use caps and dont double post.

if your trying to load ISO's you need cfw for that. if you bought that psp with 4.21 then there is no way of doing it for you because you most likely have a ta88v3 motherboard which cannot be hacked yet

update your psp via network update to m33-6 (see if m33 update has been enable in recovery menu, configuration) and update ir-shell, if this dont work then you may need a popsloader.
also try reading the readme for irshell, it may hold your answers

Is 5.00m33-4 fixed the hanging when exiting a game??

i dont know, its most likely to be fixed in the latest 500m33-6, you can update via network update. (FIRST see if m33 update has been enable in recovery menu, configuration)
hi, can i update my 4.01 m33-2 to 5.00 m33-4 directly??????

yes make sure your on the 401 kernal first, otherwise it may hang
