Psp-2004

Newbie95 · 11-05-2009, 06:31 AM

Hello, i just bought a psp-2004 a month ago from Gamevalley egypt, the guy there said its hackable. i finaly hacked it when i found that its CFW is only temporary. i asked a couple of friends , they said that they easily turn it off and back on..i said ok, it might be because it turns off by it self *battery problem n stuff* so i tried to install the cxmb plugin on it but the recovery menu doesnt open, i called gamevalley, they said they'r not responsible for it, but i should send it to em to see if they can fix it or not.another store said they have a permanent CFW for 2004, and im kinda confused and i need some guidelines

Hey thanks, but it is working, the games are working 100% but its the recovery menu im worried about...

should i try Gen A (full)? or is it too dangerous, or does it depend on my psp's mother board?
Which im gonna check after it recharges

1 more thing
im looking for a permanent hack for 2004, i live in egypt and here they do it for 20 bucks, but its alot more in egyptien pound

you need to check your mother board info to install cfw...the guide i gave you tells you how to install "pspident"...do that, find out your mother board info, then go from there...i wouldn't pay anyone to that for me when you can do it yourself in under 5 mins.

you can check in my sig also to see if it's hackable...

dude it is hackable, i did it once.. but its only chickhen.. im lookin for a more permanent way.. they said pandora's possible but iunno not really sure..
im just gonna go get the recovery menu fixed then go hack it for 20 bucks + all the plugins i need, i gave up
i spent all yesterday tryn to enable the chickhen and i already made it 5 times b4

you should use rains ultralite mms maker its alot easier

thats what i think but you may think that chickhen is easier

look. first, you must identify your motherboard. if you find out that it is NOT a TA-88v3, then it is a fully hackable psp.

in which case, you will chickhen your psp, then download and run 5.00 M33.

the hackable/unhackable psp's chart is in my sig, just look in post #1.
try finding out with pspident, since i guess you don't have a pandora.

also, if a pandora battery turns on your psp immediately,it is confirmed hackable.

a psp that can run chickhen is not necessarily hackable.

if it's hackable, you're running chickhen, use hellcats recovery flasher and fully install 5.00m33-6

Thank you so much guyz, but concerning the Recovery menu?
Is it in the cfw it self or that usaly comes with the psp? cause they told me that i should send it for repair

Don't send your PSP to anyone, installing custom firmware only takes about 5 minutes to do on your own.

Ohh, maan!! turns out my mother board really is TA-088v3
wow this piece of crap never been but bad luck all along ever since i bought it 2 month's ago!

Huh? Did you really have cfw or not on your psp because a TA-088v3 board shouldn't even be able to run cfw. Are you sure it is a TA-088v3 board? I'm confused.
