can anyone help? i recently found my old psp :D a 1003 model i think, its old anyway. it had firmware version 2.5 on, i was trying to downgrade to version 1.5 but did not have a copy of GTA.

anyway i was told to UPGRADE to version 2.71? then use an easy downgrader to 1.5
i did this however the update failed?! :( got stuck at 99%

my psp is now bricked! and im brickin it! (ie. pooping my pants). what to do!? im a total n00b! all im getting is pandora poopy battery advice i dont even know what that means :s aaaaaaagh! whose pandora?

Try holding down /\+[]+select+start while you turn your psp on. (i think it only works on flash1 bricks, yours is a flash0)

You need a Pandora Battery and a Magic Memory stick. A Pandora Battery is a special sort of battery with a modified chip. You could turn your own battery into one, but I don't recommend that, go to www.dealextreme.com and buy one there (make sure to get one for Phat PSPs). For the Magic Memory Stick you need a normal memory stick and a Magic Memory Stick maker, which can be found via google. Then use one of the many youtube-videos that show how to unbrick a PSP with a Pandora Battery.

Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

why the f would you downgrade to 1.5 when you have greats CFWs such a 5.0 M33-6, 5.5 GEN D3, 5.5 Prometheus-4 or 6.35 PRO-A3?

This is oldschool, the OP was probably following a very old guide (like, the sticky for example), thus the reference to the old (almost ancient) GTA exploit method, as far as I remember that was the 2nd found downgrading possibility, after MPH downgrader from 2.00 to 1.50.

I would suggest going to 5.03 official and then use ChickHEN to go either to 5.00 M33-6 or 5.50 GEN-D3 (total matter of taste, both outdated) and then go to either 5.00 Prometheus-4 or 5.50 Prometheus-4.
