Alright, so first I want to say that I LOVE! these forums. I know I will love my stay here.

Anyways, I OH SO BADLY WANT TO PUT custom firmware on my PSP. One problem, I have 3.72. (I know, it SUCKS). I have NO ACCESS to any other PSP's let alone a CFW one. Don't worry, I already know alot about CFW, I'm not that big of a n00b. So anyways, I downloaded something called Pandora's Box GUI or something. I will buy a Datel Tool Battery. Once I have the tool battery, when I make the magic memory stick, do I make it with the tool battery inside? Or a normal battery. + When I downgrade back to 1.50 with the tool battery, I will upgrade back to custom firmware, What if it bricks?

Here's how I think I should do it.

Make the magic memory stick with the GUI. Pop it inside the PSP with the Tool Battery. (WHAT DO I RUN AFTERWARDS?) PLEASE EXPLAIN ALOT!

Well first of all, you can create the files without the battery inside the PSP. Since you bought the datel then you simply put in the memory stick that you modified, then put in the battery and press the X button. If you brick then you can just recover again so virtualy it is impossible to brick. And there is a very, very, very small chance of u bricking anyways... slim to none. Once the battery is in the PSP with the memory stick it will all be more clear to you.

You can make it now, and the best in my opinion is 3.71 M33-3.

I called Microplay and EB Games. None of them have it. I'll check Wal-Mart and Zellers tommorrow. If I can't get it, I'll try doing that think when you open up the PSP Battery and take that part off. My friend said you don't even need to solder anything, you can just pick it off with a knife or something.

That's true, but make sure you see an image of how to do it. I know there are images pointing at which pin to break off.

OMG NO! They said that they dont have it! Not at Wal-Mart or Zellers! Plan 2 now - Are you SURE I can just pick it off with a knife? Also, is ther any way for me to re-attatch that chip? By using electrical tape?

NO WAY! Don't do that. Just buy a cheap battery off eBay or look for that special Datel deal. But don't rip it off then use tape. If you don't playing while still plugged in, you can always go for it and play like that until you get another battery.

That's what they said on the internet. If you're unsure, don't do it. You don't wanna get even more pissed off than you are now, w/ no psp.

I know, but it's only the battery. I'm sure it can't damage the PSP. I've opened it up, and the chip is REALLY small. I'll start picking it, and when it comes off I'll tape the battery together.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!


HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG HELP!!!!

Ok, so I opened it up. I found the chip. I took a pin to rip off the chip, but when i just touched the thing it sparked. I waiting for things to cool down, then I pulled off the chip. Came off perfect. I am having serious troubles putting the battery back together. I tried taping it, but i was sure it was still loose, and it was most likely, because it wouldn't start up.

How do I put it back together properly!?!

ZOMG PEOPLES! It worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But, after I downgrade, and I reset (I don't have another batter) I'm trying to run my PSP off the AC. But, it takes me back to the Pandora Home Screen. So It must have been that my PSP battery isn't charged enough. Charging...! HOPE THIS WORKS!!!!!

You can't boot your psp to the XMB with a Pandora's battery inside the psp. Flash it back to normal, get another battery or you can temporarily just use the AC Adaptor.

I know, I take the pandora battery out, and plug in the AC. There's no battery inside, just AC. It's still loading the Pandora Menu!! The battery isn't in there!

Take out the AC Adaptor then, your psp needs to be rebooted... I don't know why, but that happens to me as well.

You have to take the memory stick out as well

I don't think so, or else there would be no need for a pandora right? If you can just acess it from a AC Adaptor...
