I have CFW 5.00 M33 altho my OFW is 5.03. Will this update work for me? if not are there any other later CFWs for the latest OFWs. Some of the new games I downloaded don't work.

if your running ofw 5.03 it is possible for you to run cfw, it depends on your psp motherboard.
is your psp phat, slim or slim and lite (3000)

my PSP-2000 which was originally running CFW 5.00m33-6 was upgraded to OFW 5.50 when i accidentally stumbled upon the "search for upgrade" option in the PSP menu. people have told me that PSP's with OFW 5.50 cant be downgraded? is that true? but a friend told me that only ones which came with OFW 5.50 straight from the box can't be downgraded. so that would mean my PSP could be downgraded, is that right? if so, would a pandora be able to help me?

If it was running CFW then it can easily be d/g again, you will need a pandora battery though and MMS.

Whoever told you that was wrong. Whether it can be d/g is down to Mobo rather than FW.

Thank you for clarifying my concern. i originally was going to try the pandora trick but somebody told me not to try it as it might brick my psp. but thanks for the heads up, now i can go with how i originally planned it :D

Go to the recovery menu, goto configuration and make sure the network updater is set to m33, then exit it all and when the xmb starts goto network update and run it.

also whilst in the xmb, press select and see if the umd iso mode is on m33 if it isnt, set it to m33 and run the update again.

Note:
You must have version 3.52 M33-3 or higher to perform this update.

Installing 5.00 M33-6

First download the cfw files from here:
Mirror1: http://downloads.exophase.com/109/psp-custom-firmware-500-m336/

Note: users with 5.00 M33 or higher (5.00 M33-2, 5.00 M33-3, etc...), can skip step 2.
1. Copy the UPDATE folder into X:/PSP/GAME
2. Copy the 500.PBP file into the same folder (UPDATE)
3. Execute the update from the XMB menu.
4. Start the update, it looks just like the original Sony update, but it's cfw.
5. After the update finishes, press X and reboot.
6. That's it! you've now got version 5.00 M33-6.

CoMbina, i had download the cfw film n copy both of them to X:pSP/GAME..
but i don't know how to execute te update from XMB..
actually what is XMB???
could u plis explain to me more detail..
i'm new in psp updating..

when you turn on the psp, your taken to the xmb, its where game,pictures and everything else is.

to get to the update, go to game, scroll down to memory stick and click x or o depending your region and it will be in there.

Hi alex , I've got CFW 3.71 m33-4 installed on my psp2001 slim , is it worth upgrading to this cfw I haven't done much research, but I lately downloaded a game dantes inferno which give me the following error "The game could not be started (80020148)" I already tried different driver options m33 m33driver,sony np9660, normal . Am I safe if I upgrade to 5.00 M33-6 ? I got a pandora battery , can I downgrade if something goes wrong?. thanks so much for your help! :smile:

Hey, sorry for the late reply, i dont check this thread often. To answer your question, its perfectly safe to upgrade to 5.00m33-6 :)
And IF something does go wrong, how ever rare it is, you have a pandora battery to restore your psp back :)

So I'm on 3.40 OE-A, if I wanted to upgrade to this m33, can I go right to it, or do I need to go to other FWs in between?

There's a prerequisite of having at least 3.52 M33-3 installed for this one. The quickest route to take is installing 3.52 M33, apply the 3.52 M33-4 update, then install 5.00 M33-6.
