I have mod several Fat and slims

sad and embarass to say, I have no idea what nand does
I try googling and reading up but still no idea.

It says it's only used for slim?

so when modding slim use the nand back up? or?
thanks anyway

nand is basically where the psp settings are stored

[youyongku]

so what do i do with it or what use it have?
i really had no idea
thanks for replying

[Karlos]

Dont mess with it unless you know what you are doing, if it gets messed up then you will brick your psp, which is why you should do always if you get the option back it up.

Its where you put files to change themes and icons etc, but its very easy to mess things up.

thanks karlos for replying
so when i am running the desper v3 for slim, i press [] to backup?
then run 3.71m33?
if fail then dump nand and m33 again?
or?
i no idea how it works man ;p
and why i have to back up

i did several slims without the nand backup

[canadianbacon]

Your psp nand, is basically your psp brain. It's the flash where everything is stored, making a "nand dump" is a COMPLETE backup of your psp, just not like flash0 etc..

It's not only used for a slim, that's just plain stupid.

You should dump the nand for better protection as that's the complete backup, and yes the slims need it more, as thats mainly their only protection against a brick.

[youyongku]

so if anything happens just make a restore to it right

[Karlos]

Yes...you can always go back to how it was before you started messing with it, so always make a back up before you do anything just to be safe.

So what if you were in 3.73 OFW and then Downgraded it to 1.5 without Backing Up the NAND, then upgrading it to 3.71M33-4

Will I be still able to backup the NAND after that?

Cause I've messed around with the custom themes, (Haven't Bricked my PSP YET)

BUT I BACKED UP MY FLASH0 AND MY FLASH1

JUST TO BE SAFE...

[youyongku]

yes was about to ask this too

all the while i never touched nand

Nice to see you do that....thats forward thinking...

Yes you can back up the nand whenever you insert a pandoras battery, so you could do a backup before the 1.5 downgrade then when you are on 3.71m33-4 insert the pans battery and backup without doing a downgrade.

total noob question...

so i got my slim to CFW luckily without bricking...i followd a blind install (guide by midian) and dump nand as instructed.

now i kept my MMS and pandora batt just in case sumthing bad happen... so when i load it again, do i have to dump nand again or just install m333.71?

another...how can i see the text?

thanks!
