Sorry to say, but it wont, instead of just buying a new blank mem stick i suggest you buy a pre made magic mem stick for the same price!

Well that sucks, but I guess i can find one pre made thanks for the tip

Hey Midian. Since you're back finally, I propose that you add a FAQ for the frequent problems such as the infamous "reserved sectors are too small."

Also, I finally got around to checking out Ben Heck's page and I didn't find anything having to do with this. There was some pretty cool stuff (Xbox laptop) but nothing I could find had to do with the pandora's battery. Did I miss it? If so, could you please post a direct link to his page? thanks.

so.........................
1)put in your magic Memory Stick
2)Put in your softmodded battery
*if you see your wifi LED and memory stick LED blink, you have it working!!!!!!! as though in most occasions your screen wont light up but if it does, thats always good too*
3)When your LED's are don flashing, press "[]" (square) to dump your nand flash (just in case you brick. be warned, the file is anywhere from 32MB-64MB depending on your psp)
4)After that is done, you will be required reboot, so press X (cross) when your LED's are done flashing or when instructed to)
5)Re-put in your battery and the pandora menu will load
6)Press X (cross) to install 3.71M33
7)After thats done, you will need to reboot again (press X (cross) when instructed to or when the LED's are done flashing)
8)Now, remove your battery
9)Plug in your charger
10)Turn on the psp
11)Put in your battery
12)Remove the charger
13)And you should now be running 3.71M33!!!!!

could you specify what batteries to put in and out please?
(sorry im totally new to this, just needing some help)

thanks a lot mate for this tutorial! i am now on 3.9 m33-2 .
I had to buy datel tool battery from amazon for £12.00 as my battery was not pandorable! but making magic memory stick was easy.
Lads remember that u gotta add 1.5 kernel to play CSO/ISO and other Emu/Roms and change the kernel to 1.5 by holding R during boot..... As i took ages to figure this out.

Cant Read partition sector
I would highly appreciate it if anyone could help

EDIT:

Midian · 03-27-2008, 10:02 PM

omg people.

fine, i will be completely redoing my tutorial.....for the what 5th time?

this time it will cover all issues, include, pictures, videos (for both slim and fat batteries), and how to bypass the ressurection.elf booting on startup and it booting to the xmb instead

that means you wont have to buy a new battery after all

Hi, I successfully used this guide and my psp is working beautifully.

However I'm trying to use it on another psp, but my battery is not working. I input the battery into any psp, and the green light does not come on anymore. I input the charger, and the power led blinks orange without stopping. When I turn the psp on, the power led blinks orange and green.

Is my psp battery dead?

blaze12 · 03-30-2008, 07:17 PM
