your problem is the memory stick 4gb+ is not supported by pandoras battery

get a smaller size mem stick 512mb is good and then try it and it should unbrick

hope that helps 0_<

Sometimes bricked PSPs don't flash properly. Just restore your NAND if you have one. Remember NAND restoration is dangerous and is the only thing you should do to get the PSP working.

have you tried any other pandora creators if you go to the sticky that is universal pandoras for fat/slim (something like that) and go through the guide (skip the bit about making pandoras battery from the looks from your video it seems like its working) it might be your magic mem stick is made for a phat psp and can install because your using a slim but give the tutorial a go and see what the result is

hope that helps

Right. Not really sure whats wrong with your Flash1 but once your flash1 is destroyed a simple way of saying it is your PSP is completely useless.

The Flash1 is one of the most important and if it is destroyed even the Universal Unbricker cannot unbrick it.

i hope Deathtord is wrong but i think he isnt it may be a "super brick"

is thats a total full brick or a semi brick by that i mean can you access the recovery menu if so then you can format the flash1 and see if that works because you need a way of resetting the flash1 and the only way i know of doing that is through recovery mode.

but try different magic mem stick maker and you might have some luck but if not is a "super brick" if its new and under warranty just send it to sony saying that you did a normal update and the battery fell out and they will replace it with a refurbished one

hope that helps

if its under warranty make sure that you have not removed the warranty sticker under the battery and make sure that your psp is less than a year old.

also change your battery back to a normal one if they ask for it back then they might get you to pay for it if its a pandora because it will be a breach in the warranty.

but give it a go its worth a try

well if you have to send it off dont bover just keep the battery.

but i think some guy from sony picks it up thats what they guy at sony help centre said to me when i spoke to him on the phone. so if it is a hard mod just try to solder everything back to the way it was but what you could do is keep it and when he asks for it say you gave it to a mate or something like that

hope that helps 0_<

Your brick PSP cannot be reverted with pandora >.<
Its only unless you got a nand backup then there is a chance of saving your PSP. But it stopped flashing at Flash1 then its a permanent brick.

Like Dr1ver said, sell it on ebay i'm sure loads of people would like it not knowing about the Super brick :p.

Maybe there is somehting wrong with your battery, you can try to buy a tool battery from amazon
http://amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000W4HSH...&pf_rd_i=468294
and then try and put files on memory stick to make a magic memory stick. When you turn your psp on, if the right files are on the memory stick, it should boot it to a menu which should unbrick your psp. I'm not sure this will work but it is worth a try.

How to fix psp's with full bricks

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a tutorial I am making to recover those unrecoverable bricks on psp's you get. Unrecoverable bricks are like when you use pandora battery on psp and it freezes on flash0. That means you corrupted your flash1 or messed up your nand. I am not using screen shots because I can't take screenshots when I use pandora. Lets get started!

* Credit goes to cory149 for developing this awesome app, publicly releasing it and improving it from time to time

What is Nandtool ?

- It was originally known as UPNandtool, a tool used by hardware unbrickers to flash nand data from UP chip (or homemade nand flashers) to the bricked unit's nand flash. The application underwent a lot of modifications for the last few months, the author introducing new features on every iteration and renamed the tool to NANDTool (since the tool no longer need the UP chip in order to work). This was developed for the phat model but it's present form supports both phat and slim models.

1. Download nand tool Here

2. Make sure you have Despertar del cementerio v3 or v4. There should be some tutorial in the tutorials section.

3. Make sure you have a working psp or a memory card reader.

4. Connect psp in usb mode with Magic Memory Stick or in the card reader.

5. Unzip nand tool with winrar or whatever.

6. Get the nandtool_03_beta1_nousb.elf from the zip file you downloaded.

7. Rename the nandtool_03_beta1_nousb.elf to backup.elf.

8. Overwrite the backup.elf from the kd folder in your memory stick to the one you just created.

9. Boot the psp with pandora battery and magic memory stick.

10. Pick the option where says press SQUARE to dump the nand.

11. After that a letter should a appear saying warning and all the stuff.

12. press 0.

13. go down where it says other and press x.

14. Then go where it says repartition 1flash.

15. Then press TRIANGLE and let it do it's thing.

16. It is going to reformat your flash it takes a while so don't get scared if it takes a little long on the flash1 or flash0.

17. Reboot psp with pandora battery and memory stick and hit X to install 3.71 m33 (If you are using DC3) or 3.80 m33 (if you are using DC4).

18. After it is finish you should have a working psp now with custom firmware.

19. Go to cory's tool once more by hitting SQUARE.

20. Go to Dump From Nand and let it do it's thing.

21. After that connect your memory stick from psp or memory card reader.

22. There should be a new folder called nand dump backups or something like that. back up that folder to your pc. This is just so this happens to you again you recover your psp by writing your nand again.

23. Your done! you may erase your nand backup from magic memory stick (after you backup)

Enjoy your fixed psp. If this tutorial helped please give +REP. Have Fun!!!!
