PSP OFW 4.01 to CFW?

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post my question....

When I bought my PSP, it was already in CFW 3.71 m33. However, I tried to update my firmware recently, following the guide provided here (http://forums.exophase.com/showthread.php?t=7669). But, as I can't find the EBOOT file, I googled and I think I accidentally installed the OFW 4.01 (file was 20+mb). Only to realise that it was OFW 4.01 when I tried to continue to update to CFW 4.01 m33-2. Now, I can't play those old games....=(

I search the internet and found many guides needing the pandora battery to change OFW to CFW. But I saw some guides saying that there is no need for pandora battery. The thing is I can't purchase the pandora battery since I don't live in US and I'm afraid the customs in my country doesn't allow the import of batteries.

Can someone guide me to change my OFW back to CFW? Your help is very much appreciated.

you dont need a pandora battery or any other hardware to install a cfw. basically what you will need to do is update to ofw 5.03, load chickHEN, then use hellcats recovery flasher to install the cfw of your choice (i suggest either 5.00 m33-6 or 5.50 gen-d3).

this guide should help you get chickHEN loaded:

after that, download hellcats recovery flasher (all instructions can be found in the readme file):

(sorry, couldnt find a link from exo)

hope this helps! :)

Or to simplify it: 4.01 OFW -> 5.03 OFW -> Use signed HEN-loader -> Run PSPident. If your PSP is a non-TA-088v3 slim it's hackable. (all phats are hackable, and no 3000's/Go's support full CFW)

ChickHEN gives me a lot of problem initially but after much googling SOLVED it. I really hate eggs now...lol

Anyway, thank you for guiding me to the guide. It was helpful, except for the ChickHen thing.

Now, my PSP is on 5.00 m33-6.

Thanks guys.
