PSP Custom Firmware 4.01 M33

You will still need a CFW PSP if you want to convert your own battery (soft-mod).
Hardmod not recommended.

Go to qj and search for an "newbie installer". That's what you need for the stick.
Be sure to use XP, not vista.

Well I did what you said, which by the way, thanks for your help, and it came up with a thing 'too many results' but it showed some, and the first result was 'Homebrew Installer Maker'. I'm just wondering if that's what I'm looking for.

Jsabs: First of all what is the error message you are receiving? If you are trying to run the update from official firmware it will not work. You need a homebrew capable PSP.

ok heres my situation.... i have a custom 3.90M33-3 before, and then theres a 3.93 FW released which i have from PSPISO link. They said that this has a functionality of a customized FW i dont encounter problem when i upgraded from 3.90 to 3.93. So what im asking now is that is it ok to jump to 4.01M33-2 right away without downgrading or converting back to 3.90M33-3? is there a similarity with 3.95GEN2 jumping directly to the 4.01 CFW??


need help pls. Thanks so much :smile:

If by 3.93 FW you mean 3.93 GEN then yes there will be no problem with upgrading straight to 4.01 M33.

Ok I have psp phat running 3.90M33-3, I followed the updating instructions thoroughly and when the updating process begins, it stops at 92% and gives me a "technical error please contact the customer support" message. My psp freezes and when I restart it, it gets bricked.
I've tried updating several times and it's always the same.

please help

P.S:

1- when I unbrick my psp ... I install the CFW 3.90M33-3
2- I make the CFW 4.01M33 updater downloads the OFW 4.01 for me, haven't tried to download it manually and put it in the updater folder.

Maybe you have one of this problem:
1. You have corrupted IDStorage Keys.
2. You have a faulty memory stick.
3. Hardware failure.

Thanks for the reply Acerthief:

I'm pretty sure that my psp is in well shape :p (no hardware failure) and my memory stick is not faulty (btw is there a recommended space requirement to proceed with the update? cause I use a 1 GB memory stick with 160 MB free space).

Now about the IDStorage Keys, how do I know if I have corrupted ones? I know that "KeyCleaner" fixes corrupted keys (I haven't tried this app) but does it show if I have corrupted keys or not?

thnx in advance

I have two fat units here
3.52 M33-2
3.71 M33-4

Can I just upgrade to 4.01 M33 then 4.01 M33-2?
Or do I have to upgrade first to 3.80 then 3.90 then 4.01 M33 then 4.01 M33-2?
