Slim 3.90 Downgrade questions

Metalmancy · 08-05-2008, 09:11 PM

Hello to the community,
My little sister just bought a psp and i feel sorry for her paying 50euros every time she wants a new psp game so I decided to learn how to install CFW on her psp.
It's a PSP Slim with OFW 3.90 and a 512mb MS. Now I have done some research the past days studying guides and how tos and to my great disappointment I realized that I can only install a CFW with the help of a pandoras battery(sucks). I think am able to create an MMS since it looks rather easy but its still unclear to me how to obtain a pandoras battery.
So the question is... Should I buy a pandoras battery or should I buy a normal one and try to mod it myself? If I should buy an already modded one whats a good place to buy it from that ships to Cyprus(Europe). Or if I should take the other path and make it myself how hard will it be?
I know am asking for some serious spoon feeding but I want it to be as safe as possible since its not my psp. Thanks in advance!

well i bought my battery from a guy on these forums who was well known and needed the money, it was a good price too. but i think it would be easy to make your own, especially if you know what your doing.

Pretty sweet deal, pandora battery + a 4gb pro stick duo for 30 bones. Not sure if they ship to europe for free. Worth a shot though

I think you should buy one. You could fry the battery and then you would have to buy a new battery. Just buy a pandora one. I got mine from datel tool battery. I am pretty sure they ship to europe.

If I try to make it on my own I ll have to buy another battery and maybe even more lol. Ok now I need a safe link where I can buy the pandoras battery and get it shipped in max 10 days. Post your suggestions please!

I bought my tool battery from here---> http://www.modsupplier.com
I think they are based in Austiral. I live in USA and received it in 3 days

The price is kinda expensive, but well worth it. I tried to hard-mod my regular battery myself and fried it

Now I have to buy another regular battery. i should have just bought one, instead of making one.

Happy modding!

Wow, it surprises me how many people bought there batteries. I on the other hand used the original battery and modded that into a Pandora's battery. Formatted my MS, made a MMS then went to the store and bought a slim. Quick, Easy and I had a great feeling of accomplishment rather then feeling like I took the easy way out. Noe?

Yeap, thats what I am thinking too. It would be a great challenge to complete this task myself.
Btw, I couldn't find a slim battery to mod, will the fat battery work in the slim psp too?

xLostCauzex · 08-06-2008, 11:25 AM

no sirs, use the original battery to mod. then go buy another one

Metalmancy · 08-06-2008, 11:47 AM

Are u sure? I recall seeing somewhere that u can fit a fat battery in a slim psp but u have to hold it in place. Is that true?

xLostCauzex · 08-06-2008, 12:22 PM

I just tried it, yea it fits but you can't fit the Cap over it. So i guess its possible yea.

$tretch · 08-06-2008, 02:04 PM

you CAN use the phat battery for a pandora, you just can't put the cover back on... you'll have to search around, I don't have the link for that.
