[sherwin]

Works on PSP 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 or PSPgo!

But your PSP Unit must be 5g or lower!

For this, you will need:
PSP 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 or PSPgo

6.20 PRO-B5 Download here
Official Firmware 6.20
6.35/6.31 to 6.20 Downgrader if you aren't on Firmware 6.20
PSP Module Checker 3.0 to check your PSP unit

Tutorial

1.Extract the downloaded archive.




2.Copy the 620PRO_Permanent, PROUPDATE and the FastRecovery folder to PSP/GAME.

3.Launch the Update 6.20 PRO-B5.

4.Press X to install the 6.20 PRO-B5 CFW.

5.Your PSP is rebooting...

6.Launch the Update 6.20PRO Permanent..



7.Press X (now there's a warning, ignore it, but you can backup the file if you want for safety reasons)


and then O to install the 6.20 PRO-B5 CFW Permanent.



The secure way:

To avoid bricks you can press X again instead of O.

The original flash0: / vsh / module / vshmain.prx was now backed up to ms0:/ or ef0: / vshorig.prx.

Keep this file for safety reasons, if you'll have a brick you can use that file to recover your psp!

Then you are in 6.20 PRO-B5 Permanent Test-Mode.

Launch the 6.20PRO-Before Permanent Installer again, press X and then O.

The patch was now completely installed and the flash0: / vsh / module / vshorig.prx was renamed to vshmain.prx!

8. Congrats...now you're on 6.20 PRO-B5 Permanent, enjoy it .

Uninstallation:

1.Run the 6.20 PRO-B5 Permanent Installer again.

2.Press X to uninstall the Permanent Patch.


But the vshorig.prx must exist at ms0:/ or ef0:/ vshorig.prx.


Problem-solving:

There's a Recovery combo to uninstall it:
While starting your PSP hold ◯ + x + START + SELECT to uninstall the patch!

Note: If you want to skip the Sony-Logo at startup, hold R while starting the PSP, now you're in the Recovery Menu.

Go to Configuration and enable Skip Sony Logo

Note2: While starting your PSP and holding SELECT you are on OFW 6.20 again

My psp brite came with 6.30 OFW. I can not use this method, right? Thanks for clarifying.

to be sure if you can use it. run module checker on your psp but you need to update your OFW to 6.35.

6.35 OFW Download Here

then use this CFW below:
6.35 Pro-B5 Download here

then if all is good and you're running on 6.35 pro-b5 CFW, run module checker and check if your psp has a module of 4g or 3g. if you have those kind of module then you can downgrade and use the 6.20 pro-b5 permanent cfw.

good luck!

well if it's 8g you have. there is now way or don't even try downgrading it cause it will brick your psp. just use 6.35 pro-b5 LCFW i gave you it's the newest CFW for psp 3K models.

hope it helps.

by the way it has a fast recovery incase you reset your psp to ofw. just run the fast recovery and it will revert back to LCFW.

I thought you had to upgrade from b1 all the way up. I have been following it since b2, thanks anyways. been on b5 for a day or two.

Hi,

I just want to make sure, how do we check the device is below 5g? I was reading some other forum and it seemed the PSP 3000 was "hard" to hack. But now, we can install this firmware without bricking it? If it is the case, it is a fantastic improvement (do I look like a n00b? :P).

On this site, is it a save purchase, can I install CFW to run homebrews and backups?:

I have psp 3001 with 6.1 FW, what are my options?
Upgrade to 6.2 or 6.35 which is better?

check your psp module first if it's lower than 5g then you can use 6.20 PRO-B5 CFW.

update to OFW 6.20 first then install 6.20 TN-C HEN to be able to use psp module checker.

OFW 6.20 UPDATE DOWNLOAD HERE
6.20 TN-C HEN DOWNLOAD HERE

the link for psp module checker is above. click the link to download it.

if your psp is below 5g your in luck you can use this Permanent CFW on your psp.
