2) Not sure...

3) What is a Magic Memory Stick?

4) What is semi-brick?

1. Correct
2. So much questions ... next
3. Magic Memory Stick is the stick that u have to create in order to use pandora. Its just a bunch of pandora files.
4. Semi-brick is like a brick but u can go to recovery mode.

1)If a PSP bricked does it means it cannot go to the recovery mode?

2)If softmod need to open the battery, that should call as hardmod adi wat? Then there should be no softmod, only hardmod.

3) Since both of them need open the battery, what is the difference between softmod and hardmod?

2. I have no clue about this. Does it really matter ?
3. Softmod- to use a program to hack a system (I dont know y ppl call "softmod the battery" The correct way is hard mod.

No :P
In softmod, you don't have to open your battery >_>
If that's the case there'll not be any difference b/w softmod and hardmod and ppl can call softmod hardmod and vice-versa :)

Softmod means hacking your battery by using a software :)
*So, no need to open your PSP*
*I softmodded my battery and I didn't have to open it*

Hardmod means opening the battery and doing stuff physically ^_^

Pandora battery boots the PSP in another way >_>
I mean as soon as you put the battery, you'll not enter the XMB and you cannot with pandora battery <_<
So, I reverted it back to normal so that I could play my games back ^_^

Don't worry much about your battery as it cannot be made into a pandora battery ^_^

1) What is XMB,

2) So u mean that Pandora Battery cannot use to play games but it use to upgrade firmware?

3) No, what I mean is if I bricked it with my own normal battery, so I cannot open my PSP rite? Then I changed to Pandora Battery, what will happen?

4) How is Pandora Battery boots? That means Pandora Battery boots different with Normal Battery?

No hardmodding is messing with the hardware itself, where softmodding is where the software is changed. Also, the slim battery can be hardmodded i did mine and it works just fine. But, if you want to use it on a fat you must plug in the charger. Btw, the part you must work on to hardmod is very small, you might wanna have someone whos good at sodering do it. I hope all this helps. Ohh... once you hardmod you're gonna wanna go out and buy a new battery. If you or anyyone reading this needs help let me know.

oic.. oo well, since I dunno who's good in hardmod so I'm going for Softmod since I think Softmod is much more safe but more complicated to hardmod. Ok, so that's mean Pandora Battery cannot use to play games but it is to service mode and in order to play games, we need to use Normal Battery.

Ok, so How to revert back from Pandora Battery to Normal Battery.

After softmodding with the program you use to make the pandora, reinstall the battery after your done using it as a pandoras and the same program will take it out of service mode, thus reverting it back to normal

Yeah man it's easy once you have it all set up. Go look at the threads about how to set up your Pandora battery. You need to get a PSP running custom firmware or 1.50 firmware first. If you get some sort of CF installed on your own psp (something easy to get installed) then you should be able to do it with just one battery and memstick.

There are other ways to get your PSP to 3.80 m33-5 tho. You don't necessarily need to Pandorise but I personally think it's the best way to go. If anything goes wrong you just use your battery and magic memory stick to fix it. Works a treat.

So yeah, you need to get ur PSP to custom firmware or borrow a friends to start with.

once u put the magic MS and pandora together. I auto boots up and give u the pandora menu (if it dosent turn just normally turn on the psp). U can confirm it is a pandora battery by putting into ur psp without the MS. Try turn the psp on. It should not work

Pandora Battery Is the Eaziest Way. So thiers really know piont unless you have fat older PSP. Then thiers many ways maybe as eazy, If your firmware is lower then 3.71. Other wise Pandora is Only commonsense way to go.

READ, READ All The questions you are asking Have been asked and answered 100 times. do search on google. Amazingly these guys Have answered your question OVER and Over agin. Just mod the time allready. Then you will realize how eazy it is and will not need to ask the same question 10 times. Now with so many people modding, Hackers have made it so eazy, you cannot wreck your PSP cause you can just unbrick it IF it did Happen to Brick. To save you your Next question. Psps Get Bricked allmost only If you dont follow the dirrections, and or if you let battery fall out while modding it, and if you mess around with themes too much, deleting or over writing stuff. NOW GO MOD the time allready. And thank all these guys for Helping you SOOoooooo Much, (You Heard of Spoon Feed, Ok you got that, 100 times. now use google for you repeat questions. and comeback and ask something that hasn't allready been asked 100 times)

The least you should Do is try. These nice guys are really bending over back-words helping you. and your asking things an 8 year old knows.

Yes the forums are here for helping. But

Before Questions I would Suggest Doing tiny small amount of reaserch, Just Google the question once, for Items google with Image selected, then you can see lots picture of thing your wanting to know what it is, It helps me with things, I look up allmost one thing a week.
