My Phat PSP History : 1.50 > 3.40 OE-A > 3.52 M33-4 > 3.71 M33-2 (semi-bricked) > 1.50 (Recovered) > 3.40 OE-A > 3.52 M33-4 > 3.71 M33-4 > 3.80 M33-2 > 3.80 M33-5 > 3.90 M33-2 + 1.50 Subset.

I tried the 1.50 recovery downgrader, but when the process start, I got this message in pink :

Doing preparations...

You are about to flash your PSP.
Press X to start. By doing it, you accept the risk and ALL the responsibility of what happens.

Press X to restart the PSP

that's the process i got when I use the 1.50 recovery downgrader,I did that in both 1.50 kernel and 3.71 kernel.
After I press x for restart, i still got the BSOD, it still semi-bricked and nothing change.

lol well it's pretty dangerous to mess around with 3.71 m33 (-2, even) atm. Though, I recommend in the future u make certain the files are compatible with the FW before flashing it to the PSP unit, and also that u have a backup of your flash0 (or simply the folder u are going to modify).

I've tried using the recovery through recover menu, got the same messages. I recommend just using a Pandora's, it's much easier.

PLEASE HELP! I have the same problem. The recovery won't work. I can't run the downgrader, since I have no access to the normal XMB. I have tried formatting the flash1. I can't do the Pandora's Battery because I have no XMB.

I will <3 u long time if you help...

Can you turn the pandora battery back into a normal battery? I've seen posts claiming you can, but i'm not sure

anyways, i don't understand how you can use the downgrader without getting back to the xmb, and the recovery doesn't work. So am i screwed?

I gave you the solution in the other thread you posted in. Did you even download the recovery folder I linked to?

Your trying to use the 3.52 M33 and below recovery folder to recover your semi-bricked PSP which will not work. I linked to the correct recovery folder you need to recover your semi-bricked 3.71 M33 PSP to 1.50 firmware.

HERE is the link again.
