Not a problem EMMAX
Are you now able to connect the psp by usb to the pc?
Dumb question but have you tried just using the ac adapter to power on the psp?

cay anyone help me i fully bricked my psp slim. I dont think i made a working magic mem stick gonna go to my friends house to creat kuz he still has a working phat psp. Also can anyone plz give me a step by step tut on doing this or give me a link that does. Im really desperate and scared that i wont be able to fix this problem.
Thanks and really appreciate the work you guys do here.
Problem that occured.
Formatted mem stick (not properly formatted dont think)
Put in Datel Tool Battery
Got to the screen where it loads after this step
Just place the Magic Memory Stick in the PSP and then place the Datel Tool/Hardmodded Battery into the PSP and a menu should come up. X will install 3.71 M33-2 to the PSP and O will install 3.71 official firmware to the PSP.
After it has finished installing the files you can then turn off the PSP and replace the Battery with the normal 1.
Did that then only green light turns on with normal battery and shuts off in about a minute. I am done or is there hope lol pls help.

I absolutely love the mux app on the magic stick. makes things so much easier.
I notice the last 2 update folders are left blank.
How can I add 3.90 to this app? Should I just drag the corresponding files into the update folder?
My 3.90m33 folder has a few files, which ones should i put in there?

No it still will not connect,so ive ordered a usb memory card reader that should be here some time this week.
yeah ive tried that. my son said he took it to school and borrowed his mates game and that was it.the screen went completely blank and the green light came on for about 15 secs and then goes straight off. so my othwer half followed a guide to back a pandora battery by removing the fifth pin. just got to wait now for reader to download the files and see what happens, if i cant get it to work then looks like i`ll end up getting him a new one.

Hi there, thanks for the great guide. I had a Slim PSP with 3.71. I then used the guide and software to change the FW to 3.71 M33-4. Can you please tell me if I am ok to format the memory card now? and please give me some advice on how to play ISO's on it now.
Cheers

Yes, you can format the card. All you have to do to play ISOs and CSOs is to put them in the ms0:/ISO/ directory on your memory card (it will automatically be made when you format it).

Yes, you can, you can also still carry on using it as a regular memory stick without formatting it.

Yes, you can, and you can either reformat it, or keep the files on there. The "trigger" for that special bootup is a combination of the Pandora battery and the software/bootloader. If you are using a normal battery, it will ignore the special boot software and load normally.

Just an fyi - the reason you need to know the drive letter of the psp for this guide is it's assuming your making a magic memory stick w/ the psp.
Since you'll be using a card reader you'll use that drive letter - same way to find it.
Thankyou for letting me no i wouldnt of even thought of that. Another quick questions ive got 2 computers one is running xp and the other is windows vista basic does it matter which one i use?

One part I'm unsure of is w/ this guide is you need to format the memory stick w/ the psp - using the card reader instead you won't be able to.
Hopefully someone can chime in with another guide or what to do instead for this step.

I just posted this in another thread, so I'm trying here too. Maybe you can help.
"I had a bad idstorage for some reason after I downgraded my psp to 1.50 and couldn't reset my pandoras battery. It was auto fixed when I installed 3.8 M33 so now I'm wondering how I can reset my pandoras battery. I have the eeprom.bin that pandoras battery creator generated, so how do I set my battery back? I was thinking I could just make a new Magic Memory Stick with the eeprom.bin in the root of it and then try that, would that work and how would I do it? Please help me."

When selecting 3.80 M33 in MUX it will add the 3.80 M33 CFW to Memory Stick. You then need to exit the MUX program and run the 3.80 M33 update via Game Menu memory Stick.
The next update you choose in MUX will over write the 3.80 M33 update and add whatever update you choose next in the MUX Program (EXAMPLE: 2.80 M33 will be overwritten with 3.80 M33-2 if you choose to install 3.80 M33-2 update).

Hi, I read your guide and all the comments for it. Im totally going load some CFW when i get my slim.
There's just one thing i'm still thinkin' about, (I'v searched afterdawn and goole but i couldn't find a straigh answer anywhere)-
On the codejunkies website (where they sell the TOOL battery) they also sell this converter that looks really cool. It claims to convert any battery between TOOL and non-TOOL modes "quickly and safely."
The thing looks really awsome so i'm really hoping the thing works.
so my question is whether or not it will work (since it obviously softmods the battery) on a psp slim with whatever firmware they sell them with now (between 3.70 and 3.90 probably)
this is the codejunkies product page ATM:

Thanks for any help, and unbelievably awsome guide

What are you on about... NAND... flash0? The easy answer is "No" you'd just brick it, Fats and Slims are different to each other.

Hi.. I have a question to ask u guys. I have a psp slim with 3.71 firmware in it, i also bought a pandora battery and a magic stick that state its to unbrick a psp or just to get the cfw 3.71m33-2. and it worked, i got 3.71 m33-2 now.
but my friend just bought a new psp slim with 3.72 firmware in it. Can i use the same panodora battery and magic stick to help him get the cfw or i have to use a different magic stick sense his psp has a different firmware from the start?
if its possible, will his firmware become 3.71 m33-2 or 3.72 m33-2?

@tdawg: Sorry, but I'm going to need a bit more information before I can be sure of anything. Are you saying you set up your stuff, turned it on, and you got just a blank screen? If so, because you modded your battery (with wire and solder, yes?), it could either be the battery wasn't modded properly, or your memstick isn't set up correctly. You can recheck those and make sure they are set up exactly like in the guide. If you didn't have to type Y for the final part of the memstick setup, then your memory stick doesn't have the bootcode installed on it, and it won't boot, which is why I had a blank screen when I modded mine. An alternative method for setting up the memstick is on page 7, which might work for you. Good luck! Oh, and if you had some other problem (like you actually got the menu and selected the custom firmware and now it won't boot), then the only thing you can really do is try to install it again.
