install CFW Slim blindness install advice?

[acecool]

hi guys,

I'm new to CFW, actually i have OF but i hope my pandora battery arrives the next week then make my MMS and go
Well i read a lot and i notice something about "blind installation in psp slim" and is not clear to me if this always happen in psp slim or sometimes?... when you try to put CFW into a psp slim and you have a "black screen" so you have to do the install blindness.

I would like some advice about this issue, when is this possible to this happen and how to do it without to much trouble?

info: psp slim core pack piano black with OF 3.95

well thanks in advance
Ace

I want also dump my nand during the installation, if the black screen is the case, there is a way to dump the nand after the installation of CFW? how can i do it during the installation in blindness?

i'm thinking in use PSP Pandora Deluxe v1.2

If your using PSP Pandora deluxe, it might bring up the ELF menu, in which you would have a hell of a hard time going blind.

All you do is go down twice, and hit x, then x.

Why dump the nand?

[sam31183]

use rain mms maker...it has a option to dump the nand before you install m33, and you can even do a test run of m33 before you install it...and the screen isnt blank. I had a older mms for installing 3.71 m332 and my screen was never blank when i used it on slims.

I really dont know why "the black screen" but some people have had this problem when installed on slim. About the nand i read its good make a dump of the nand for future use (brick).

Bewood ->"All you do is go down twice, and hit x, then x." this is to dump or install or both? sorry i never se the ELF menu for the PSP Pandora Deluxe v1.2
i installed PSP Pandora Deluxe v1.2 and see that have to assign a key to the boot sequence. nothing else...

sam31183 i will check the "rain mms"

Thx

Rains MMS Maker is amazing, other then when you install cfw 3.71m33... it semi-bricks your psp.

Just a warning

[acecool]

how i will know if for some reason i have a semi-brick/ full brick what's the difference between a semi or full brick?

I see the rain mms 1.0 and i dont understand some parts maybe you guys can help me please



i can't see the option to dump the nand?
Loadeboot i need to load other file the OF like in PSP Pandora Deluxe v1.2???
format and inject IPL??? i dont know what's that?? Format "again" the MS?? and INJECT IPL?? no idea
i'm thinking install "4.01 OFW/M33-2 (DCv7)"

[Bewood]

Click off the usb fake plugin. and you select which custom firmware you want, then load in the official firmware of the custom i.e. 4.01m33-2 = 4.01 EBOOT

And the inject ipl stuff is where you made the mms but the IPL was not injected, ignore that

[acecool]

ok i got it and the nand option? where is? its apperar automatically when i put the mms and the pb or i have to do it after the downgrade? in the help of the rain mms says: "Remember hacking your PSP can void your warranty and always
remember to make a NAND Backup."
but nothing about to how and where to do it?

Thanks in advance
Ace

Once you put in mms and pandora battery, you will see the option on the psp screen.
