so what are you trying to update to 3.71m33 if you are then you need the 3.71m33 files and then the sony firmware 3.71. then rename the sony 3.71 firmware to 371.PBP and then put it with with the m33 files in the UPDATE folder that put the whole UPDATE folder in GAME and then load it up on your psp and remember battery has to be charged over 75%!!!

err wtf? I think he has official firmware 3.40 . If you do mate, you need to either get hold of an unpatched copy of Lumines to downgrade (first upgrad to 3.5) (pm me if u want it) or get hold of a pandoras battery which can unbrick and downgrade any psp firmware. Once you are at 1.5 due to either the lumines exploit or the pandoras battery you can then upgrade to 3.52 M33-4.

DON'T upgrae past 3.5 offical firmware because you then need a pandoras battery

thanks for the help everyone

ive managed to upgrade to 3.50 using the "ultimate downgrading thread"

i tried to buy lumines today but nowhere has it in stock around here. i have managed to download an iso from a different source and i am wondering if i can use this at all to downgrade to 1.50?

thanks. bunter
