Stuck on 5.03 ChickHEN, what now?

[cr0wnest]

After months of hibernation, ive decided to revive my PSP. I last got stuck on 5.03 ChickHEN because for some reason i wasnt able to upgrade to 5.03 Prometheus or 5.50GEN D3. Somehow the flashing ALWAYS fail to work. I see there are some newer stuff floating around and was wondering what can I do now. If im not mistaken, 6.60ME-1.8 is a good one to have now? And how do i go about doing that? The readme's can be quite misleading at times.

What model PSP do you have?

What model PSP do you have?

Ah yes forgot to mention that. Ive got a PSP-2000 slim. TA-088 v1/v2 according to PSPident.

Anyway just powered up my PSP to check and i realised the version number just shows 5.03 when it used to show 5.03 ChickHEN or something last time. Did it magically return to stock firmware?

Anyone help?

If you have a TA-088v1/v2 like you say, then update to 6.60 and then use this:6.60ME-1.8 (OFW Version) - Downloads - PSPMOD.com - PSP / PS Vita Forums

Ok I just updated to official 6.60 successfully and also downloaded the 6.60ME-1.8 OFW version from the link you provided. However i dont quite understand the readme. It said


1. copy UPDATE folder at ms0:/PSP/GAME/.
2. Put 6.60 official update at ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/660.PBP, or let the program download it for you can use a wifi connection.
3. Run installer from xmb.

So I just leave the official firmware named as 660.PBP in my UPDATE folder? Then where do i copy the folders in the 6.60ME-1.8 zip file? Do i put me_installer into the same folder as GAME or UPDATE?

EDIT: nevermind got it! Was a lot more straight forward than i thought. Thanks for the help!
