Hmm
Memory stick directory on the PSP still signifies "corrupted data".
Tried ISO file and Game file. Although showing on the PC via USB, the PSP shows either nothing (ISO file) or corrupted (GAME file).
Any further wisdom?

It says Magicgate - "Supported", as apposed to Magicgate unknown.
Is this still a fake? What signifies a fake; "Magicgate" or whether its "supported" or "unknown"?
Thanks

I followed your guide and everything went well up to the very end. I got to the point where it said " Install success. Press X to shutdown the psp." I pressed X and the psp shut down so I took out the battery and plugged in the power cable. When I turned the power switch on, the green power light came on but the screen just flashed grey for a split second and then the power light went off. I tried the program at least 5 times but kept getting the same problem.

Out of desperation I tried to install the official firmware but got the same results. I had made a nand dump so I tried that too but it still won't boot. So I installed the custom firmware again, twice, and it said the install was a success both times but I still can't get to the XMB.

I started out with 3.03 OE-B and now I think I've got a brick. You have any ideas what happened? It keeps telling me the install was a success but the thing just won't turn on.

Questions:
1) Can I use the same magic stick on the slim?
2) Can I use my fat pandora battery in the slim?
3) If it is unable to flash due to new mothboard, will it be bricked?

thanks.

After the custom firmware is installed take out the Battery and plug the PSP in via AC Adapter and turn the PSP on (without the Battery inserted).

After the PSP boots to XMB place the Battery into the PSP and go to Game Menu Memory Stick and select OS Pandora Battery Tool.

You will get a warning screen just press X to get to the Main Menu. When the Main Menu comes up go to "flash only serial from mso:/eeprom.bin"

Go to Quit Now and it will exit to the XMB. Now turn off the PSP and unplug it from AC Adapter. Now Take out the Battery then re-insert the Battery replacing the battery cover and use as normal now.
