GETTING THE OFFICIAL EBOOT FILE OF THE CUSTOM FIRMWARE YOU INTEND TO INSTALL

The next step is to get the official EBOOT file that corresponds to the custom firmware version you are attempting to flash. So if you want 3.71 M33, you'll need the 3.71 EBOOT, if you want to go to 4.01 M33 you'll need the 4.01 EBOOT, and so on. The highest firmware you can go to with this program is 5.00 M33-6, and so if you wish to do that, you'll need the 5.00 EBOOT.

I'm not going to provide links to all of the eboots, they are easily found by google and other methods, but here is the latest one that most will want, the 5.00 EBOOT:

500.PBP

Note that the file needs to be in number format for the firmware. So if you download a file and it's just called EBOOT.PBP, rename it to the corresponding firmware number. So the 3.71 EBOOT would be renamed 371.PBP, 4.01 would be 401.PBP, and so on.

Now you have that file, you need to place it on the root of your memory stick. That is the first area you see when you open your PSP memory stick. It's the same place your PSP folder is, and probably a few others. Drag and drop your renamed file anywhere onto there.

FINAL PROCESS: Running the program itself on the PSP.

Ok that is all the ground work done, you're now ready to run the program. If you've done everything correctly, you should be able to browse to the program under GAME>Memory Stick. Once the program loads (you may get a disclaimer type page first to accept), you'll see something like this screen:

You're nearly there. All you need to do is move the arrow to the first option to select the firmware you want your CFW to be based on. So if you want 5.00 M33-6, you would set it as above, but you can cycle through and set any firmware. Just make sure it's the same as the official EBOOT you dumped onto the root of your memory stick.

Now all you need to do is choose the option highlighted on the above image, 'Install M33 Custom Firmware (of version selected above). Hit that, and the PSP should then install the custom firmware. The PSP will restart when it's done, and voila, you have the full custom firmware you wanted.

You can now delete any files you added to your memory stick relating to the flasher if you wish.
