    My PSP 1000 currently on CFW M33, going to updata to GEN. Does the PSP need to be on a 4.01 / 5.00 before I can change to 5.50 GEN? Thanks.

    I would honestly recommend you just update to 5.00M33-4 or 5.00M33-6 and just stay on one of these. It is the most stable firmware and is compatible with the most things. It also supports the 1.5 kernel for older homebrew.

    If for some reason you do feel compelled to update to 5.50GEN, you'll need to update to 5.50GEN-A first. Then 5.50GEN-B2. Then GEN-C. Then GEN-D2. If you do not do it this way, your PSP will brick. Do not use the XGEN Update if you can help it. I've heard many, many reports of people getting a brick from using it.

    GEN-D2 seems to be the most stable version yet.

    Dude if you're on 4.01 OFW you need some form of CFW before you can update to GEN. Has the PSP had CFW on it before, or did it come pre-installed with 4.01 FW?

    Chances are that it a TA-088v3 motherboard and can't have full CFW. To check, what you should do is update to 5.03 OFW, then use ChickHEN. Once you've got that to work and you're in a HEN environment, use a program called PSP Ident to find out your motherboard type.

    If it's a TA-088v3, the only thing you can do is use ChickHEN. If it turns out to be a TA-088v2 or lower, you can use Hellcats Recovery Flasher to install full CFW.

    Before you start asking more questions about what i've just said, please use the search function of the forum and google, you will find all the information you need.
