No way you can run it if you are having Original Firmware > <
But you can use Pandora method to solve this problem. Find some friend who is using Custom Firmware and help you. :smile:
I now have the same problem as vandmike. It keeps on saying
Upacking.... done.
Please wait
for a long time now. I will try it later the methods you said, but I have a question: is setting the kernel of the game to 3.xx kernel be of any help to this problem?
I did all the methods above plus I change the kernel to 3.52. The fat psp is now 4.01 m33-2! Thanks everyone. Very helpful community.
What OFW version is he running? You'll first need to install custom firmware on his PSP, then then yeah you can covert your battery to Pandora. The battery can be used on any PSP.
<p>I have two PSPs, both at 3.52 M33-3. The first PSP I tried to update did the same thing as vandmike's, sitting there saying "Unpacking... Done. Please wait..." And it does nothing. The other PSP worked fine.</p>
<p>So I switched memory sticks and and it does the same thing. Both memory sticks got formatted, too. How do I go about fixing this? Apparently Fluid fixed it by renaming the kernel to 3.52. How do I do that?</p>

In the recovery menu is an option for which kernel 3.52 (or older) cfw uses when you run stuff from GAME. You MUST set that to 3.xx or the PSP will try to run the updater as 1.50 software (which it is not). Also, in case someone didn't mention it elsewhere - turn off/remove any custom themes or plugins before trying to install custom firmware. It's okay for minor updates like 4.01 M33 to 4.01 M33-2, but it's NOT okay for major updates like 3.52 M33 or even 3.90 M33 to 4.01 M33. Having a custom theme set and then doing a major update is the leading cause of bad flash1 partitions after updating.

Hold the right trigger (shoulder button) while powering on the PSP.

I too am having the "unpacking please wait..." error. I have reformated several times, redownloaded and readded all files several times, my memory stick is fine because I just used it to update from 3.02 to 3.52. This error occurs for me when trying to update to both 3.9 and 4.1
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated...

Hmm, which 3.52 M33 version are you on? You actually need to be running 3.52 M33-3 or higher.

Black Screen Of Nothing
So I've downloaded 4.01 M33 + 4.01 official, renamed the official to 401.pbp, stuck both in the /psp/game/update folder, and ran the update, only to have the colored screen + sound come and go, then the screen go black and turn off. My memory card access light flashes a few time while the screen is off, and then nothing.
My current version is 3.52 M33, and i am a newb at PSP homebrew, but i am pretty sure i did this right. Any hints?
