Sorry to be the typical newb, but I am just confused.

I have a fat PSP with firmware version 3.80. What method do I need to use to get a firmware like 3.71 m33-4?

[TheLastCuban]

Pandoras battery and magic memory stick, downgrade then upgrade to 3.71 M33

[crash331]

Is there a guide for all this? I found this:
pspmod. com/forums/psp-hardware-guides/28839-easy-use-pandoras-battery-guide.html

Sorry, it just seems like there are so many methods and some of the methods are out of date or not used anymore.

Ok, I just made myself a pandora battery and I am in the process of making a MMS. What do I need to do the downgrade step?

You won't need to downgrade because if you are using hercules's guide to make the magic memory stick. then after you are done you will end up with 3.71 m33-2 so you won't need to downgrade you will need to actually upgrade if you want to go to 3.71 m33-4. but i don't know why you'd bother wasting time upgrading because 3.71 m33-2 is just as good.

trust me i know what to do with hercules's guide because i used it too. and if u look under my name on the left then you can see I still have the 3.71 m33-2 that the guide gave me.

if you need more info then you can email me at raypatel70@hotmail.com or raypatel70@yahoo.com.

actually he says he has a Phat PSP, i am pretty sure the Phat MMS files require you do downgrade to 1.5 and then they add the update files which all ow you to upgrade to the x.xxm33 CFWs. Unless there are new MMS files that let you go straight to the m33 CFWs.

No, he can go straight to (virtually) whatever firmware he wants. If you use a DCv3 installer, you'll end up with 3.71m33. The 1.50 workaround is only for those who are able to downgrade WITHOUT pandora (ie, they have a firmware for which a downgrader exists, such as 2.71).

oh sorry, i was just going off of when i put CFW on a phat psp (it had version 3.52 on it). It took my psp to 1.5 and then i just went to the update files that were located in the game section of the XMB. i just figured it was still like that

I have a phat psp too and thats what i did with hercule's guide so he doesn't need to downgrade he can just do what i said in my earlier post.

will this guide work with what I have (3.80 on a launch PSP)?

It was the one I found that held my hand the most. Just waiting on my pandora battery to get here now (I destroyed one already trying the hardmod).
