I'm not surprised Larry took down all the guides that he put TONS OF HOURS into because nobody reads them.
Second:
You CAN NOT "un-brick" with 3.90 you need 3.72 m33 or 3.72-m33 2.
Third:
If you had spent 4 minutes Googleing the SEVENTH (7th) link from the top is a tutorial on un-bricking AND a download for "Universal Unbricker for Fat and Slim v2".
Fourth:
You need to take the "magic memory stick" you have now and nuke it. It's useless.
Use Universal Unbricker to create a new one. This new one will not only un-brick ANY compatible PSP (all 1001 and (almost all) 2001 series), it will also install CFW on ANY compatible PSP (all 1001 and (almost all) 2001 series).
People like Larry (who got upset enough to PULL every one of his guides from the site) put a lot of time into keeping up with current releases for this platform and writing these guides for YOU.
As a matter of fact, if you google "psp + universal unbricker" the #1 AND #2 links on GOOGLE led to his guides, AND NOBODY READ THEM! He took his guides down, I believe, in October of 2008! And he is still the #1 and #2 on Google over a year later!
They don't write them for themselves, they already know how to do it. They are contributing to the community to HELP YOU and other's. The least you can do is type in 3 words in a Google search bar and read 7 links.
Here's your jump: (7th link down is your guide (tutorial) and download)
