TA088V3 PSP 2000 Japanese Install CFW?

So after days of trying, I have managed to load ChickHEN on my PSP.

Now, I know that using ChickHEN on a Phat PSP or a Non TA088V3 Slim PSP can enable you to load H E L L C A T s R e c o v e r y F l a s h e r and successfully install CFW.

My question is this:

Can I do the same thing on my TA088V3 Japanese PSP Slim?

I know Pandora doesn't work for it, it is indeed the cursed Mobo.

edit : I just read that doing this will brick your PSP if it is PSP3000 or TA-088v3 2000, but has anyone actually tried it? or are there reasons why it wont work due to different IPL.
 
The reason is the pre-IPL, this loads before the IPL (Firmware/CFW) so in previous PSP's his was dumped and exploted to work and recognize CFW PSP's as normal PSP's. In TA-88v3's and 3k's the pre-IPL has changed and is incredibly difficult to dump the code because it disappears as soon as the IPL/Fiwmware is loaded so you ca dump it but in minute portions at a time and the rumor going around is that it is 75% dumped. That's why if you put CFW onto a 3k/YA-88v3, the pre-IPL will detect that it is not OFW and will not allow the FW to load (brick)
 
It WILL brick. They said that and your curiousity's not going to change that

People have tried it, it hasn't worked. Crisis averted.
 
Ok, I've figured out something. When a PSP says "Your PSP is not a PSP 2000, press Circle to exit" in CFWEnabler,here is the problem: You've used a modded version of HEN. Try using Davee's original HEN (slim.tiff + h.bin) and it should work now
