Mere HOURS after the release of firmware 3.71 for the PSP, hacking team M33 have already manged to fully decrypt the new firmware and have released an update to PSARDumper, which now supports firmware 3.71 decryption.

Spread the word and DIGG THIS!

This is a recode of psardumper for 2.XX &amp; 3.XX kernels.

If you are in a CFW of the fat psp, be sure to put it in GAME3XX or in GAME if you have it
configured for 3.XX kernel.

Support for 3.7X decryption has also been added.

The instructions are same as for original psardumper, except that you don't need the DATA.PSAR
in the root of memory stick, but instead the EBOOT.PBP; this is to make it more noobs-friendly
and lazy-friendly.

Well..let's just say that if you want to make a custom theme, you need the RCO's decripted :)

Anyways good job M33 (And another thing, this can help the making of [dare I say it?] 3.71 m33)

Don't i need to have on 1.5. Right now it's on 3.71, how do i downgrade it?

Someone with firmware 1.5 or custom firmware needs to convert the battery for you, and install the memory stick files.

If you don't anyone that can do this, then there's people over at Noobz who will do it for you.

Also will there be another way of downgrading besides the pandora?

(Please make it be yes)

Nothing is impossible, but I wouldn't get your hopes up for another traditional downgrader...

im in the same boat as gkid007. i have no way of someone near me that can make the battery, i cant ship it off (as my parents will be suspcious, and they are against things that are illegal, and if my dad has the idea that its illegal in his head, he wont change his mind.)

too bad im not knowledgeable enough to make my own downgrader.

i wish D_A would come back. I hate the pandora battery.

GUIDE UPDATED, LOOK FOR BOLD UPDATE TAGS FOR NEW INFO

I actually registered for these forums in an attempt to possibly save you.

If you've got about $30, you can still set yourself up for homebrew.

Buy this: http://us.codejunkies.com/shop/product.asp?c=US&cr=USD&cs=$&r=0&l=1&ProdID=986

Its basically a premade Pandora's Battery by Datel (if your parents are suspicious, just write it off as a spare battery and claim you want an extra for on the road). You still have to make the Magic Memory Stick component to really give yourself the Pandora's Battery functionality (this battery just snaps your PSP into Service Mode, which allows you to go behind the Firmware to do work).

UPDATE: Datel released a TOOL battery for slim PSPs. Buy it here: http://us.codejunkies.com/shop/product.asp?c=US&cr=USD&cs=$&r=0&l=1&ProdID=986

Normally, you'd have to find someone who already has a custom Firmware PSP to make the Magic Memory Stick for you but use this program and it will take care of the files for you (just hook your PSP up to the computer; see below for a guide on how this thing works): http://rapidshare.com/files/51253858/Pandora_s_Box.rar.html

Go here to download 3.60 M33 for usage on the Slim PSP (just change the readme.en file within to readme.txt and open it with Notepad for instructions on how to install 3.60 M33 once you have the battery and Magic Memory Stick): http://dl.qj.net/M33-PSP-Slim-Custom-Firmware-3.60-PSP/pg/12/fid/14521/catid/114

UPDATE: 3.71 M33 is out now (for both slim and older PSPs) but you will need to have 3.52 M33 (old PSPs) or 3.60 M33 (slim PSPs) installed first to make this work. Download it here (you will also need to find the 3.71 official Sony Firmware to perform this update): http://dl.qj.net/Team-M33-PSP-CFW-3.71-GP2X-Development/pg/12/fid/14635/catid/251

Hopefully this clears the air a little. This is the alternative method for people who don't have access to people who can make a Pandora's Battery for them.

UPDATE: Finally I tracked down the directions to creating a Magic Memory Stick WITHOUT A CUSTOM FIRMWARE PSP (yes, it can be done). Please note these directions are merely for creating the Memory Stick. Without a custom Firmware PSP on hand, you will still need to purchase the Datel TOOL battery (see above for purchase links). Special thanks go to ff8ff8 over on GameFAQs for writing this up (I'm a member of their forums and I found this guide over there):

1.Download the Pandora GUI [see above]
2.Enter USB mode [on your PSP]
3.Start up the Auto-play GUI file
4.do what it says (you have to click 4 buttons and pres 'Y' a few times.)

Important!
After step 3 of the GUI you have to reboot, make sure your Tool isn't in or you'll go into service mode. This isn't dangerous it's just anoying and some people freak out when they do this. If you do this just turn off your psp and reboot without tool Inside, now go to step 4 of the GUI.

5.Turn off psp, and put the Tool in. Reboot. Due what the screen tells you to (I'm guessing you can press a button all by yourselves, you are after all big kids now ^.^ )
6.Do your happy dance, you've got 1.5
7.The GUI comes with KXploit, so run that.
8.It also comes with m33, these will both be on yor memstick now so just run them (KXploit first)
9.Don't forget to update to m33-4
