We need someone to confirm if 3k with 4.21 worked with this exploit.
Can i do manual update to 5.02 or 5.03 without going to sony.
I have already tried over a hundred times but i cant get it to work, i have ofw 4.21
I have also tried the photo and language trick but still not working. I guess well just have to upgrade when a hen will be released..
I tend to disagree for reasons I've mentioned earlier already.*sigh*
This is for version 5.03, the most recent PSP firmware version.
Nobody should care if it works on anything other than 5.03 as you can upgrade, there's no reason to stay on 4.21.
I tend to disagree for reasons I've mentioned earlier already.
The problem currently is that lots of people believe they now have to upgrade, which is dangerous if this hack leads to nothing (this could still happen) or if something better is found on previous firmwares.
As far as I can tell, the issue with 4.xx is the same as the difference between Phat and slim: only a small difference in addresses.
It *should* be investigated: if an equivalent is found for 4.xx it would prevent all noobs of the world to upgrade to 5.03 and then regret it. But investigating this is time consuming, and we don't really care about noobs, do we?

PSP Slim Hello World Exploit
I'm using my Japanese Radiant Red PSP 3000 and it seems that the exploit worked. The firmware is 5.02 if you're wondering as well.

===============
PSP 3000 Installation:
1) Extract the "26833_release_v2.zip" file
2) You'll see 4 files altogether inside that folder. (h.bin, phat.tiff, readme.txt, & slim.tiff)
3) Make sure you have a Memory Stick (MS) * Grab your PSP and connect to USB mode.
4) Copy the "h.bin" file onto the root of your MS. Then copy the "slim.tiff" file onto your MS_ROOT/PSP/PHOTO folder.
5) Copy any 8 random photos into your MS_ROOT/PSP/PHOTO folder. Altogether you should have 9 files in your PHOTO folder.
6) Full power down your PSP and turn it on. On the Cross Media Bar (XMB), go to "Photo" and down to "Memory Stick"; Click ENTER.
7) Wait for all the thumbnails to load. Scroll up down again and again and slowly go down until it goes into the HELLO WORLD exploit. (My video is a great example!)
Notice: It might freeze on the "XMB Photo" section, but you can keep trying until you get it right. Although this does nothing but brings you into the HELLO WORLD exploit screen, it's a good sign that it works on the PSP 3000. Until then, have fun with this experiment!
-P.S this won't screw up/break/brick your PSP 3000 system if your also wondering.
Thanks out to MaTiAz from the PSP Homebrew Scene.
honestly, you shouldn't have...FINALLY GOT IT TO WORK!! I HAD TO UPGRADE TO 5.03 THOUGH! Is that bad that I did that, because if it worked on the 5.03...then it shouldnt really matter about the security patch in 5.03 right?
honestly, you shouldn't have...
Now you've got a hello world, and the guarantee that if something gets done with the gripshift hack, you're screwed. Well done.
