There may be few reason why your pandora menu is not showing up :-
1) You may not have made the magic memory stick properly
2) You may have inserted the magic memory stick after inserting the battery
3) In PSP SLIM model sometimes you'd have to do a blind install...... meaning the pandora menu is there but is not shown in the screen ....... In that case you just have to press X after the memory card indicator stops blinking right after inserting the battery.......... This will start the cfw installation which will last for 2-3 minutes
.............. My advice will be to try once more keeping in mind the above factors............... & Can you tell which setup file you have used to make Magic Memory stick & what is the model no. of your battery ? |
you are a life saver! my battery was fine after all! you were right, my psp was in blind mode - so i pressed the x button and saw indicator lights go on for like a minute or so and let it do its thing and prayed to god my psp hasnt been bricked. i thought my battery was completely useless so i did everything i could possibly do to it, cut the 5th pin and derailed, i also took off the switch! had i known it was perfectly fine i would have left it like that! ppl need to be reminded that a blind install could be a possibility, someone from youtube had told me im pretty much effed if i only see a green light with a black screen, i guess he doesnt know about the blind install and have led alot of ppl to think theyve done it completely wrong. now i dont know how to fix my battery lol! i guess its a permanent pandora now, w.c is still great since now i know i could still put it to good use. wow, im completely amazed! my psp is now running on 3.71 m33 from a 3.93 official fw!! my nickname is now Xi-Bit. i used the totalnewbieinstaller to make the memstick, i didnt even have to touch the memory stick or run whatever was on there, honestly i still dont understand it, im still researching actually! i dont know what happened but your information have helped me alot!!! aside from not knowing anything with what im doing. im comfortable with the hard mod since ive been modding gameboys in my time and soldering all kinds of things broken.. wow i so could hug you right now! im a chick btw w.c is funny, i shouldnt know anything about soldering right? lol. well anyway i guess hacking the motorola v3 help me understand quite a bit about downgrading and stuff like that, its the process that i have trouble with. but thank you so much. that little piece of information really saved my life i am forever indebted to you!
now, i shall try to revive my battery lol
what i did to it was overkill! but it still worked! i guess u cant go wrong in pandorizing it. it is the psp that is tricky! thanks sony. i think they did that in purpose. sure did fool me!
