I had a very bad trouble.
I bought a new PSP Piano Black 2006 and my system software is Version 5.03 recently.

The shop owner had already modified my PSP and its work fine, able to play ISO and CSO games.
But he warned me not to turn off the PSP, only able to put it in sleep mode. But i accidently off it completely and when i turn it on, I can't play games from my memory stick.
I went to another shop and I asked the owner, he said he can't modify the PSP as it is a new PSP. He asked me to download something and it is very complicated.

I really need help on this! Please someone help me with some ideas.

Is probably the Chickhen installed.

4. When you are running firmware 5.03 go to the photo menu, select the memory card and press X , you should now see a Chickhen folder, click X again, now as soon as the next screen appears hold down the left down button until you get to the bottom picture. If your PSP powers off you need to turn your PSP back on and repeat step 4. It usually takes me 4 - 6 times until it works. You know the hen is loaded successfully when your PSP restarts by its self.

To verify the hen is loaded go to the settings menu on ur PSP (The left most menu) then scroll down to system settings then click on system information your firmware version should read "5.03 Chickhen R2" If it does ready this you can now enjoy homebrew :)

But beware as soon as you turn your PSP off you will need to repeat step 4

Well you should actually start your own thread as none of this relates to this thread.

I can only suggest to go back to the shop owner you bought it from and ask him, or start over with the process

There is an updated version here - link

Is that 3.50? Mine is 5.03. I mean 3.50 can't play ISO and CSO games right?

Hi,
I've got this thing working, fab guide.
I had a 5.00m33 which I've pushed down to an ofw 3.71 using the PB and MS, and back up to 5.00m33 again. Great

Now, when I try and update ofw to 5.50+ (just to use the PSN to download a purchase) it says i have a memory card error 80010005.

A google search says jeff all.

I've reformatted a 4gb pro duo, a 1 gb pro duo, reset defaults, turned the thing on and off, blown in the memory card holder, tried to upgrade by individual upgrade, redownloaded the upgrade from PSN, sang a south park song... the damn thing still won't upgrade properly.

Do I change a setting somewhere else? Should i buy another memory stick?

Alright everyone, I need clear answers because I am completely stumped.

Today is my birthday and I am trying to hack my PSP as a gift to myself. Problem? I have followed both this guide:

http://www.blastprocessing.net/?page_id=20

and this guide:

http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/708959

very carefully following ALL the instructions to the letter and sort of understand what the heck it going on. However, when I get to the part where you insert the pandora battery (bought one off of ebay) to install custom wares and/or get a NAND dump for baackup and I get nothing. The power comes on automatically, but I get a black screen. I've remade the "magic" stick twice and I've held down every button on the PSP while inserting and I've waited for few moments to see if anything changed. Heck, I even pressed X to see if it would go ahead and install the custom software so I could use the official battery. Nothing works.

When I remove the pandora battery and insert the normal battery, it works just fine, even with the modified "magic" stick.

What am I doing wrong? It's very frustrating.

Thank you

It's a Piano Black PSP 2001 (so it says under the battery cover) and I'm not sure which it came with (perhaps 3.something), but I had already upgraded it to 5.57 (or whatever the latest was. My Pandora battery didn't come until today and I got the PSP last week)

This one:

is the memory card I'm using. I've seen it on some website and on several hacking videos and when I check it under Videos and Information,it is listed as MagicGate enabled

I'll try this again later today when I get back from fishing. I appreciate your help
