also facing the same issue and after reading endless amount of posts here I think the first step would be to downgrade to have a 1.5 PSP. This is where i'm stuck as there is no downgrade guide for a slim, CFW 3.90 M33-3. i do have a pandora battery
Ultimately, I want to upgrade to a version 5.5 or 6 but would this simple as just installing them over the 1.5 version?

many thanks

Using a Pandora kit made with DC8, you can upgrade straight to 5.00 M33-6 which is the latest M33 cfw. There is also 5.50 Gen cfw but I haven't personally used it.

Thanks MenaceInc, can you please elaborate on the method here? as i already have a Pandora battery. Are you suggesting to create another Pandora battery with DC8?

Yea, you can just make the Magic Memory Stick with DC8 and use your pandora battery as it is.

No they wont, you have to download the 5.00m33 pops. You can find it on D_As site.

I have read everything, but I still want to make sure I got it.

My PSP is on the CFW 3.90 M33-2 and with Kernel 1.50.


All I need to do is download both files in the tutorial, put them in GAME folder (the 500.PBP file inside UPDATE folder), and the run it from the XMB?

Then it's okay to go directly from 3.90 M33-2 to 5.00 M33-6 even with Kernel 1.50 activated?


Thank you.

Sounds like a corrupted file. I'd recommend redownloading the file from http://downloads.exophase.com/162/psp-firmware-500/ and putting the 500.pbp on the root of the memory card.
If that fails, then it may be an issue with the memory card itself (it could have bad blocks on it). You could try reformatting it and trying again to see if that helps.

I have OFW 5.03 and am running chickHen. when I go to my settings for system software it shows 5.00 M-33. Will the 5.00 M33-6 upgrade work for me? I dont want to try anything for the fear I might brick my PSP.

Since you're running ChickHEN, I'll have to assume that you own a 3k PSP in which case you cannot upgrade to M33-6
