I have just purchased a PSP off of a friend in hopes to mod the system. However, it seems that due to the version of his firmware the only way I can downgrade and upload a custom firmware would be through the Pandora Battery method. Since official is not custom, how in the world you could go about downgrading FW 3.72 into something workable without the use of another PSP or any fancy things like that? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can't! There are ways of switching the jumpers in the battery to make it into a Pandora-wannabe Battery, but the app to make the memory stick is homebrew, which will not work on any official firmware higher than 1.50. You need a second PSP of custom Firmware.

There is no excuse NOT to mod! Don't follow the rules, make them!

First of all, don't listen to the guy above me.

I had a Fat psp, on official firmware(3.71) with a regular sony battery.

I could downgrade without the help of a custom firmware psp.

You need to either buy a pandora battery, or hardmod your current battery into a pandora(That's what I did).(by cutting the #5 pin, there are guides on how to do this)

Then(if your not on windows vista) you can use totalnewbieasy installer to create a magic memory stick and downgrade your psp.

It worked like charm for me.

So, you can downgrade FW (3.72) with a Pandora battery and Magic memory stick?

luffypsp, back to back posting goes for all bud. Also your sig is too big, time to resize.

Quote:
Signatures

These rules exist to make viewing the forum as pleasant as possible to all users. Even though you might think signatures with large pictures look cool, some might find them extremely annoying.

1. Text-only signatures should have at most 5 lines of text.

2. An image-only signature should be less than 50kb in size, and be at most 500 pixels wide and 200 pixels tall.

3. If you use an animated picture in the signature, it should not be too distractive. Eg. blinking images or images with quick movement are not allowed.

4. If you want to use both text and image in your signature the image should not be more than 500 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall, and you can use up to three lines of text.

5. All the abovementioned rules for forum posts apply also to the signatures.

Violation of these rules does not lead to an immediate ban. However if requested user must edit his or her signature to fit these guidelines.
