How to: Install CFW 3.60M33 On The PSP Slim

[Gameunreal]

NOTICE:
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE OR 'BRICKING' THIS GUIDE MIGHT DO TO YOUR PSP, BATTERY, MEMORY STICK, PC

Requirements:

1-A normal (fat) psp running custom firmware or the original 1.5 firmware.
2-A battery that is compatible with Pandora( see my compatibility thread) (Pandora's Batery Compatibility list)http://www.pspmod.com/forums/firmwar...lity-list.html (Pandora's Batery Compatibility list)
3-Memory Stick Pro duo, (MS Duo's won't work, so the stock 32 mb card won't work). Any other card, 64mb up to 4mb will work.
4- AC Adapter
5- A slim 3.60 PSP. duh

FILES YOU NEED:

- 3.60M33 Custom Firmware: File Details-M33-PSP-Slim-Custom-Firmware-3.60-PSP -
- Download Official 3.40 and 3.50 Updates here: PSP Downloads | and here: PSP Downloads |


INSTALLATION:

1. Use this guide to create a Pandora's Battery and Magic Memory stick: Tutorial: How to unbrick your PSP via Pandora Battery - PlayStation Portable News - PSP Updates
2. Once you have a funcional Pandora's Battery and Magic Memory stick ( the FAT psp boots into service mode when you insert the battery with the memory stick already inserted.)
3. Extract the 3.60M33 Custom firmware archive.
4. Run the fat psp with the Magic MS inserted but WITH A NORMAL BATTERY.
5. Select USB mode on the fat psp and from inside the archive you just extracted copy pandora_slim and pandora_slim% to PSP/GAME, or if your 1.5kernel is set to game150, PSP/GAME150 (by default it is set to PSP/GAME, but you can check in Recoverymode->Configuration->1.5kernel folder)
6. Extract "EBOOT.PBP" from the 3.40 and 3.50 update packages you downloaded and rename them "340.PBP" and "350.PBP", then copy them to the "pandora_slim" folder you just copied to the PSP.
7. Run the program you just copied on the fat PSP (pandora-slim creater).
8. Insert the Magic Memory stick and then the pandora battery into the slim. The green light will turn on, but the screen will not, THIS IS NORMAL: DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS
9. To install press X, ONCE. Wait until the green battery light turns off. this should only take a few seconds, as you are only copying a few custom prxes and team m33's custom ipl.
10. Break open a beer and pat yourself on the back: you slim psp is now homebrew compatible!!

Other Stuff


Not all homebrew will work as the 1.5 kernel can not run on the PSP SLIm

Awesome guide I still think this is more important than the 3.71 M33 guide.

Hello, I just got a psp slim today after reading this post, I followed all the directions from the tutorial but when i get to the last step and put the magic card and pandora battery (I created using original phat battery) into my psp slim all i get is a blank black screen and a green light that doesnt go away even after pressing X...

If anyone has any idea whats gone wrong please let me know .

HOLY KITTEN KABOOTLES! I got it working! Mayhap i got confused and skipped the last part (run pandora batt slim creator).

Once i did that, all was well! Silent hill HDTV TIME!!

Thanks alot to everyone who has helped make the slim as much a homebrew knockout as the phatty.

Edit: 10:Pack up the bowl and pat yourself on the back: your slim psp is now homebrew compatible!!

Okay, this is not good.
Psp fat: 1.50 devhook user.
Psp Slim: 3.72 original
I have done every step correctly.
And i wanted to get the slim to CF 3.60m33
But the slim batery wont work anymore, and the psp slim is bricked.

when i used my fat to get the log this was Stated.
"Install initialization... OK
Reading IPL... OK
Verifying ipl... Failed -> Not the expected IPL"

I want a link to a decent guide to help me unbrick the psp slim

It is a friend of mines and hes going to kill me when he hears.
Plx, answer by tomorrow.

Imintrouble, you have to find a way to get a magic memory stick and a pandoras battery and just install some CFW again and your Slim should unbrick i think!
