3.40 OE-A Install Guide

[Cheezeball99]

Hey x3sphere I've just bought a blue version PSP 1.5 firmware already installed now i was thinking if i was to upgrade to 3.40 oe-a which is very tempting i have to say does it really matter if its "TA...." or "HEN"? don't wanna mess up the PSP as my second bought. Thanks!

No, that stuff doesn't matter when you're upgrading to 3.40OE-A, that stuff mainly matters when you're trying to downgrade. TA-XX is the type of motherboard, TA-082/086 and stuff need to be patched, but only on the downgrade. HEN is 'Homebrew-Enabled', which basically every downgrader uses this to be able to downgrade. Basically, what I'm saying is that you're fine.:smile:

I'm getting a psp and a 4gb card tomorrow for my b'day and I was wondering if I should install this right away or wait a bit and install it later. Any help will be appreciated and if you can give me a list of features with custom firmwares it will be great. Thanks in advance!

In my opinion, you should definitely install this ASAP. It has every single feature of 3.40, but with the enabling of homebrew, ISOs/CSOs, and many other tweaks and such that is just completely unaccessible without an OE firmware.

I just hit a dilemma. My psp comes with ratchet and clank and it requires 2.82 firmware and I don't get my 4gb card until a week later but if I upgrade it to 2.82 then i will have to use GTA LCS to downgrade from 3.03 and I don't have and will not be getting GTA so I really don't want to wait a week with nothing to do with my psp except use the umd sampler is there anything I can do? Because i cannot upgrade to this using just a 32mb card.

Edit: Don't worry I'm going to just get lumines for $20.
Edit 2: I can't find lumines anywhere so im find a way i can install a custom firmware with 32mb stick then upgrade to 3.40oe when i get my 4gb card
Edit 3: Ok I think I'll just use usbhost with irshell and if that fails I'll just download and use a devhook for now.

The only way you can upgrade to 3.40oe-a is by using an easy installer or getting the data.dxar that the oeupdmaker makes. I would give you the data.dxar but my internets too slow

I'm just gonna use a devhook until I get my 4gb card but thanks anyways. And I don't really need custom firmware until I get my 4gb card anyway.

Edit: Darn I think my psp is going to come with an un-downgradable firmware like 2.81-3.50 which I would need to get gta or lumines which I really don't want to waste money on them.

Well, check your local GameStop or EB. A used copy of Lumines should only cost around $10 - $15 I reckon.

All you need is to buy Lumines used and return it after you finish downgrading. Just say the game dont work on your PSP.

No, once on 3.40 OE you are free to delete them or format the memory stick :smile:

Hi all,

I just got hold of a psp with 3.02 OE-A on it. I presume I can upgrade straight to 3.40 OE following this guide (I'm a complete noob). Thanks, also I watched a video that showed someone with 3.10 OE entering recovery mode and setting the kernel to 1.50 before upgrading to 3.40 OE. Whats that all about? Do I have to do that as well? Thanks for the help.

Used the search function (hits head) and found exactly my first question answered. Still looking for the answer to the second one..
