Hi
my slim 2001 psp was running 5.0mm3-6
Motherboard model: TA-085
PSP version: Slim V1.0
4G memory.

It was working fine for 2-3 months, but then , majority of the games stop working (from memory or even from UMD). They come to the loading point, then PSP goes off.
I tried formatting the memory, taking battery out,... nothing helps.
I thought , I could flash the psp with a new firmware, but when trying to update or recover using Hellcat's Recovery, I was getting this error:

PHP Code:

Unassigning flashs....
flash2: wasn't assigned - that's OK
flash3: wasn't assigned - that's OK
Extracting special updater .PRX....

ERROR OPENING 500.PBP! (0x80010002)

Error 80010002 loading/starting nand_updater.prx
Error 80010002 loading/starting lfatfs_updater.prx
Error 80010002 loading/starting lflash_fatfmt_updater.prx

------------------------------------------------------------
There have been critical errors!
ABORTING!! No harm has been done! Press any button.... 


I purchased a pandora battery, I used RainsUltraLiteMMS500v12 and created magic memory, tried the pandora, but during the installation, psp stop at 15% and said cannot read PBP.

I tried the option of Nand dump and gave me something like 17 bad sectors.

I hope I can fix it, it seems to me not a complete brick as I can use the pandora battery and load the m33 without any problem, using the "test m33" in the RainsUltraLiteMMS. I also saved the nand dump to my pc. looking for your advise.

please

ok, you can do 3 things.

1: do an idstorge fix with DCv7 or V8

2: use DCv3 and install nandtool and see about fixing it

3: google "psp nand fix" and look into a guide given by acidmods and do it via pc

1. I don't know how to use the DCv7 or even where to find it
2. I used nandTool_0.4_Final_NEO, but, dump nand, write it again, no change in psp

3. I tried to find the guide by acidmods as you said, but could not find, can you please direct me to that guide

It sounds to me that you just have a bad 500.PBP EBOOT. Get another and try again.

Instructions:
1) Download and Unzip PSP Tools and 500.PBP from

PSPTools+500PBP.zip

2) Place the 500.pbp to the root of your memory stick. For example ms0:\500.pbp
3) Place PSP Tools into the Game folder.
4) Run PSP Tools and select Memory Stick Options>Create Magic Memory Stick>Despertar Del Cementerio V8 and follow the instructions to install it and convert your battery to service mode.
6)Once you installed Desertar Del Cementerio V8 to memory stick and coverted your battery to service mode just take out the battery and out it back in while holding the button you assigned when you installed DDCv8 to your memory stick.

You should be directed to a menu know asking you to install custom firmware or official firmware. This should get you up and running and then you could choose to upgrade to higher firmware.
