L AND R BUTTON MUST WORK.(BOTH PSP'S)


OK, I first would like to say if you use anything here, you have to walk around in a dog costume at 3AM in the morning because I want to laugh(Im serious) No, I don't want to be disturbed, just +rep me and badassano2009(PSPISO) Without this dude, this tutorial wouldn't be possible

If you want to get even more "hacky" with your psp lol then you would want to use this(PHAT ONLY)

I Have the TEMPORARY Hacks for the psp 3000 and pspgo posted on the bottom of this post, Yes the PSPGO could play ISOs

WHAT YOU NEED:
(If you didn't make a Pandora battery)
A CFW PSP(5.00m33-6 would be the best but GEN is good too)
A Bricked PSP)

Make Sure your Battery that you want to PANDORIZE Is at least 80%,( Or Have the AC ADAPTER connected with at least 20%) Download HellCAT Flasher 1.60, access it with the Battery in the CFW PSP, The last option should say make battery a pandora one click it and let the app do the rest , now exit out Hellcat and you now have a Pandora battery(no dumping of codes or anything, and you could easily change it back to a normal battery)

Now that you have a Pandora Battery,(the one in the CFW PSP after the HellCat method, or you already had one) Now it is time to make the "Magic Memory Stick" or a "Pandora Memory Stick" Whatever you like to call it.
What you need:
A memory stick with minimum 512 MB (1GB is preferred but doesn't matter about space 32GB Won't work)
The Administrative rights of your computers,(This is specifically for VISTA and Windows 7 USERS) JUST Make the magic mem stick, it's quite simple, make sure PSP That's working is plugged in with the MS that you want to turn into a MMS OR put the MS into an adapter and choose the drive it is. Then check format PSP and Backup Content(backup isn't necessarily needed entirely up to you) Now click make MMS, and let the program do the rest


NOW FOR THE UNBRICKING/CFWing. THERE ARE TWO METHODS ONE THAT TAKES YOU STRAIGHT TO 5.00m33-6 and another one that takes you from 5.00m33-4 to 5.00m33-6, the second method should be used for a bricked PSP.


You need to have the MMS in the OFW PSP before you turn on the PSP. Make sure you have Hellcat Flasher in the MMS as well (ms0:PSP/GAME) Now make sure you have the 500.PBP in (ms0:PSP/GAME/RECOVERY).Now HOLD L and R at the same time once you put the pandora battery in as well, the PSP should automatically turn on the if you did it correctly, the PSP should go intom33 Recovery Menu, now click X on "Run Program at /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP" It should go to Hellcat flasher 1.60, (the program that made the battery) IT should say Install CFW (Of version selected above) that is the 2nd option, I would choose reset (format) settings as well, that should make a cleaner install of 5.00m33-6, but it's totally up to you., Just make sure your battery is 50%-100%. Let the program do it's stuff, it will tell you to click any button to continue, click, for like 10 seconds your PSP should have the LCD light on and it should be totally black, DO NOT TAKE OFF THE BATTERY OF THE PSP THAT WILL BE AN AUTOMATIC BRICK(BUT SINCE YOU HAVE PANDORA AND MMS WE COULD FIX THAT ). When you turn on the PSP,(If you have the pandora battery turn on the PSP with the AC Adapter with the battery out. ENJOY YOUR MODDED PSP



FOR BRICKED PSP's

Now I am gonna show you how to Unbrick your PSP. Make sure you have the MMS in the PSP before you put the Pandora in. Put the Pandora Battery in while holding L, the PSP Memory stick Reader should flash a bit, and then take you to a menu, click the first option if you want to keep your CFW, click the 2nd one if you are an idiot,(that puts OFW, I don't think it's worth it) The other options are irrelevant to your PSP because it is bricked Why would you NAND backup a bricked PSP? Whatever option you choose(1st or 2nd) the PSP will tell you press X to shutdown or O to restart, Press O Becaus you want it done quick. ENJOY YOUR UNBRICKED PSP. You should also have 5.00m33-6 installer(the link is in the bottom of the page) in the PSP/GAME folder, just load it, and it will install the BEST CFW in less then 5 seconds, GEN isn't really good.

HOW TO TURN THE PANDORA BACK TO A REGULAR ONE

With the new CFWed PSP or unbricked(which I'm assuming you put CFW on it) just take out the pandora out of the PSP, plug in your batteryless PSP and then put the battery back in, access HELLCAT FLASHER 1.60 and the 2nd to last option should say Turn Pandora back to normal, click that option, and you will have a regular battery again



see u can MAKE A PANDORA right from this menu

MMS = Magic memory stick for use with PANDORA

IF YOU DON'T HAVE ALL THESE RESOURCES YOU COULD MOD THE PSP SLIM/PHAT WITHOUT PANDORA OR MMS


MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PSP WITH PHAT/SLIM that is 5.03OFW or lower, needs to be 5.03OFW to work.

I HAVE PACKS JUST DRAG AND DROP EXTRACTED ON THE ROOT OF YOUR PSP(Once you click the PSP MS that's the root)

PHAT

SLIM
MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

NOW WHEN YOU EXTRACTED THE CONTENT, IF YOUR FW ISN'T 5.03 OFW UPGRADE NOW, JUST GO TO GAME FROM YOUR XMB MS AND INSTALL

NOW THAT YOU HAVE 5.03, GO TO THE PICTURES AND WAIT, NOW IF YOUR PSP IS SLIM YOU SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY HAVE THE PSP FLASH GREEN THEN RESET ITSELF. IF YOU HAVE PHAT YOU MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY


IF THE PSP DIDN'T FLASH(SLIM OR PHAT)

ONE OF THE FOLLOWING MIGHT OF HAPPENED:
1)NOTHING HAPPENED, JUST SOME WEIRD PICTURE IS SHOWN(DON'T CLICK THE PICTURE, IT WILL FREEZE THE XMB)
2)THE PSP FREEZES( DON'T WORRY THE PSP ISN'T MESSED UP IT WILL SHUT OFF BY ITSELF)


JUST KEEP ON TRYING TO FLASH THE PSP UNTIL IT WORKS


WHEN THE PSP IS FLASHED, IF YOU CHECK THE FIRMWARE(YOU DON'T HAVE TO) IT WILL SAY 5.03CHICKHENR2 NOW GO TO HELLCAT FLASHER 1.60 (there will be 2 corrupt datas, 5.03 OFW updater, and HELLCAT)IT WILL SAY LOADING TWICE ON THE TOP-LEFT CORNER, AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CLICK THE 2ND OPTION "INSTALL CFW FROM SELECTED VERSION" THEN CLICK "RESET SETTINGS" AND LET IT INSTALL ONLY FOR PHATS AND THE OLD SLIMS, IF 3000 IS TRIED AUTOMATIC BRICK, THE COOL THING ABOUT THIS IS THAT IF YOUR PSP CAN'T BE HACKED, HELLCAT WILL TELL YOU


This is for 6.35 users who wish to have "CFW" basically its a quicker way to load HEN, you still need prometheus iso loader or w/e ur using to run isos but homebrew now run w/o having to constantly load an eboot just run on the XMB OFW and it wil work

THIS TOUCHES THE FLASH OF YOUR PSP< USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
This is a downgrader for people who have a higher version then 6.20 who want to downgrade to 6.20(all models including the psp go)
The tutorial is in the readme dont worry its a pack just drag the contents in the root of your psp and run, follow the onscreen instructions

Here is the app that allows you to run ISOs on your PSPgo/ any psp model running HEN

Download the archive and extract it. You’re left with two zip files.
Unzip “OpenIdea Iso Loader 0.1.1 beta2.zip” putting all the prx files in PSP/SYSTEM (on your memory stick or internel PSPgo storage).
Unzip “OpenIdea EBOOT Builder.zip” and you’ll see a Windows executable + the source code.
Drag any PSP ISO and drop it on “iso_packer.exe” – this will convert the ISO to a bootable EBOOT.
Copy that newly generated EBOOT.PBP to PSP/GAME/<any game name here>. The game should now be visible from the XMB game menu.
Start it.

6.20TN-B updated version(not pack HEN only)

[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE]
This is a newer verison of HEN, works with the patapon 2 exploit, ill keep the old one up jst in case
MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

just switch the old HEN with the new one, download the pack i made then switch hens
6.20TN-AThis is the pspgo supported HEN
This is the pack, all you have to do is download it and extract the contents into the root of your MS, i dont think it matter if you have anything on there, but if you want to be 100% sure, format your psp before doing this
MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service
OK, this works for all PSPs running 6.20, anything higher im sorry guys u jst have to wait it out jst a little bit longer this is temporary meaning once you shut off the psp you have to do the process again, its an easy process so dnt rly worry about it, two seconds really Its HEN running the hacks and exploits

Install Patapon Demo & HBL on your PSP.
Extract EBOOT.PBP to /PSP/GAME/HEN/EBOOT.PBP, or to /HBL/GAME/EBOOT.PBP if you want to launch it directly.
Launch Patapon Demo and load exploited savedata (Continue).
Now, it jumps into HEN mode.
Enjoy homebrews and plugins (you'll lose HEN mode, if you reset/shutdown the device or if your PSP is crashed).

THIS IS HEN for 6.35
replace hbl/menu/EBOOT.PBP with the EBOOT.PBP from the Hen
then do minna no sukkiri exploit, hen for 6.35
MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

This is for 6.36 and lower ALL MODELS, this isnt hen just straight up HBL, using an exploit found in a game, when HEN comes out for this fw I'll post it

This is the full pack just extract this on the root of the psp, the save zip is already set, I just put it there jst in case u wnted a copy or somethg(or i put it in the wrong folder lol)
MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

TUT
Just make sure everything is in the correct directory
Put homebrew in PSP/GAME
Load the demo Minna no sukkiri
When it says continue, continue
It shoud crash and then go to the HBL loader screen
Happy homebrew playing

Not all homebrew work unfortunatly there is a readme with a list of some that were confirmed
TUTS TO MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER
PSP 3000 HOMEBREW CRASH FIX 6.20TN-A
I am trying to post as many things as I can to make it more convenient for you instead of you looking up a million things on the internet, here is a tut I found on the internet that should help psp 3000 users using 6.20TN-A
Start HEN as normal (via HBL & Patapon 2 Demo).
When you’re back at the XMB remove your memory stick.
Press select to bring up the VSH menu.
Select “RESTART VSH”
Re-insert your memory stick after VSH fully restarts and try whatever homebrew again. It should boot without crashing.
Repeat steps 2 – 5 every time you start a new homebrew.

A nifty tool I use for dumping fw This is too allow more games to run on the prometheus ISO loader you need this and 5.00 OFW which I posted, allows you to use M33 drivers
If you want to use the M33 driver, you need a copy of 5.00_isofs.prx You can get this file from the official firmware, by using PSARDumper
Just put the file in the Prometheus folder

i thought that HEN was signed to just 'run' on 6.35?? like an eboot no game exploit or anything..

[Axiom]

This is brilliant. Jailbroke 2 PSPs and made pandoras batterys with them.

you cannot flash it, meaning a permahack, but you can temp hack it, meaning i you shut it off you wil have to rehack it, but its very simple, just read the tut if u have anymore qs just ask me!

[Souldrake]

I just want to confirm before I go and do something stupid:

I have a PSP 2000, and as far as I can tell I have a hackable motherboard on it that will accept CFW. Will the above method for 6.36 firmware using the game demo exploit enable me to install CFW?

[AshWood]

if its a 3000 model yes its hackable, and with 4.2 just upgrade to firmware 6.20 and install the permanent CFW, PRO is supported by all PSP models.
