Hello!

I got my PSP 2006 with 5.03 GEN-C firmware. I thought I had to update it and updated it to 5.50 GEN-D3...which as I now understand was wrong?

So after I updated my PSP to 5.50 GEN-D3, it just wouldn't turn on (and green light on, you know). I read that I had to do the pandora battery and memory stick thingy. I successfully (looks so at least) made my pandora battery and a memory stick with 5.00 M33. It still wont turn on. I guess the problem here is the memory stick? Sorry for such a noobish questions. I just got very confused with all these versions.

I had 5.03 GEN-C, updated to 5.50 GEN-D3 (I don't know if it did update though, since it wouldn't turn on). What do I need to have on my memory stick?

Cheers!

sounds like it was unhackable.

serial number under the battery is?

[microcuts]

It's HE0856332

I really hope there is a way to restore it! I'm going away in 5 days and I need it with me!

[xavis]

well, i uhh....the only thing you could try is using a pandora and a correctly made mms and try. H should have been hackable.

did you ever run pspident when you did your chickhen thing?

[microcuts]

I actually got it with 5.03 GEN-C installed already. It worked well, played for a couple of days and since some new games didn't work I thought I had to upgrade it! I'm kind of a PSP noob still

So I assume my mistake was the version I tried to update to?

[xavis]

ya, out of all that time, you never ran pspident?

[microcuts]

Nope!
What should be my steps? :P
Also, I used different (formated) memory card for recovery than the one I used when it worked. Though it's not a problem I guess.
Oh and I read somewhere that to make sure that pandora battery thingy went well, one can just put in the battery and the green light should blink. It did not for me.

[xavis]

how did you make the mms?

[microcuts]

mspformated the memory stick, and then used RainsIPLMStool (with 500.PBP file).

Also since I do not have a cardreader now my method was quite strange. I have a phone with small M2 memory stick, so I pretty much used the phone as a cardreader. Then I put that M2 into a Duo adapter and into PSP.

[xavis]

........ummm wow, i uh.. idk

[microcuts]

Yeah I'm just quite desperate to have my PSP working asap :/ I laugh from my methods as well.

But considering what I told about my firmware, what tools and firmware should I use to get it working? I'm going to get a card reader tomorrow.

[xavis]

first we gotta unbrick it first. get a card reader, a 2GB card also while your at it. then talk to me about the next step.

[microcuts]

Yep cool, I'll be here tomorrow.

Thanks for replying. Gave me some hope.

That's why xavis is motm. You wouldn't get that from a fish or a he/she.
