You shouldn't.
You'd end up with an unrecoverable brick. Use your OWN nand.

Nand files are the whole flash1 and flash0 of your PSP. When doing a full brick, it recovers your PSP to whatever firmware you were at. For example, if you backed up nand at 3.40OE-A but done a permanent brick on 3.71M33, you can restore nand and it takes you back to 3.40OE-A.

What do you mean by can't find the that bring you to 1.50?

And 3.71M33-3 is the best custom firmware for the FAT PSP, but 3.72HX-2 is best for the Slim. If you wish to play emulators, go onto 3.71M33-3. If you're like me, and don't play emulators, then 3.72HX-2 is the best firmware for you.

I'm sure that a modchip is when placing a chip inside your PSP, or change the MOBO(mother board).

w/e simply means whatever.

Now, try the nand on your PSP. There's around 90% chance of screwing your PSP badly, but you're already screwed badly so why not take the risk - I'm not responsible if you permanently brick your PSP.

im new to this... but if it was a permanently brick psp... will you still be able to fix it with Pandora's Battery and the Magic Memory stick? Or once it gets this bad... theres no hope left for it?

If you DIDN'T back up nand and cause a flash1 corruption brick, then you're hopeless.

ok guys, i've been through the exact same thing you've guys went like bricking ur psp and stuff.

to check whether ur psp is semi-bricked or fully-bricked is by holding down the (R-trigger) and hold it while you on ur psp. if your recovery menu shows up means ur semi-bricked. If it doesn't respond and still remains black means it's fully bricked.

SEMI- bricked

if you have ur recovery menu, all u have to do is go find the flash files and copy them. and rmb to make a spare copy. you can find them on google. rmb to type in ur firmware while typing flash0

eg: psp 3.52M33-4 flash0 files download

FULLY- bricked

Dont panic, all you need is the pandoras battery which requires a minimum 265MB memory stick and a spare battery. And of cos the files.

although you have to spend a little on the card and battery, it's worthy as it will unbricked and downgrade all psp. no matter what firmware too.

the files can also be found on google.

eg: pandora's battery files and tutorial

just follow the tutorial to guide u on how to make the pandoras battery


if i've been any help just say a thanks.
