Ok, I've just about killed myself looking for an answer to this problem of mines involving my psp. I need help bad and I won't to leave this alone(it's driving me crazy), so I'm goind to be very indept about what I need, and what I've been through to advoid constant replies. First, it started one day when my PSP could no longer recognize UMD. I mean I would go to the game section and nothing, and I mean nothing. So I changed to a different UMD and the same thing happen. So I started to wonder if the lens was broke, but then again, I had downloaded a game(my first) and it didn't work. So I start researching about similar problems. It seemed that alot of people where having similar problems when the upgraded to Firmware 3.80. So I figured that maybe I could elimate the problem by downgrading. Well it hasn't been an easy search. Everybody keeps saying that you need a "Pandora battery" to downgrade from v3.80(that sucks). So I figured I'd try to make one for myself, but then I run into another problem, everytime I save a file to the PSP Game folder, it keeps telling me that the data is corupted. So after reading a bit more, I find out that you need custom firmware to read these files, so now I have to find out how to put custom firmware on a PSP 3.80. The closet I've gotten is to the new firmware v3.80m33(I think that's what it is). But for some reason I don't think that this is what I need(I'm not really sure of anything right now). Having said that, I only have to questions:

1: Is there any way that I can downgrade from 3.80 to whatever(I really don't care at this point I just want to get rid of 3.80), without using the methods of the "Pandora Battery".

2: Did I really need custom firmware to recognize the files I'm saving in the games folder(if so, then can I still set up custom firmware while having v3.80).

I must say that I really appreiate anyone who can help. Thanks guys


P.S. please don't recommend any youtube video's, I've been all through there. LOL

Ok, I'm trying to start the Pandora operation, but for some reason I keep getting stuck at the "cmd" part. When I open it up is it suppose to say "C:/ Document and Settings/owner". Everytime I type what the guy says(the cd C:/) it does nothing. I'm also using this tutorial:
