ok. I have a problem. ive done every step. but when i get up to putting the memory card back in and putting in the modded battery, it still just stays at a blank black screen with the green light. Very frustrating.

when i try to just put the ac adapter in and download anything from game it says the error code again still: "The game could not be started."

I have a fat psp with 3.80 Official Firmware on it. Never had anything custom or any homebrew on it.

Help..!! I have the same problem. I re-created the Memory Stick. (4gb Sony also 2GB Lexar) many TIMES, followed the steps with the Tool Battery, Still a blank Screen, Green light, NOTHING else comes up. I also never had a custom Firmware, Just Official 3.7. Any help would be great. Thanks..!!!

It seems pretty simple, When I am at the part where it asks me to verify if the amount of space. It says that "access is denied" to drive 'f' which is my PSP drive. I have tried this five times so far. I get to the part where it allows you to write the information. I get a long list...I would say that it goes through a string of code.

It never gives me the smaller list or asks me to write anything where I have to press Y to confirm.

I have a PSP SLim running 3.80 offical. It's only when I get to the option to install the 3.71 M33-2 software. I already have a Datel Tool battery for my PSP Slim, I just need to be able to downgrade it so I can upgrade to the CFW.

Thanks. Attached is an image of what it looks like when I do that.

I'm still pretty new to this, but by the looks of things. It's not reading the eboot.PBP which should be a Pandora memory boot and ask you to write to the lower version. You need to make a pandora memory stick to unbrick it. If you have the Pandora battery already then it should be fine.

If you insert both and it's just a black screen, then there is something wrong with the Eboot.PBP for the Pandora memory stick, are you getting any errors when you try and run it?

I followed all the steps from doing extracting the files to the Memory Stick, Copied the file from the 'ADD ON'(deleted the unnecessary folder). Now i have the Memory stick done, when I put in the Tool battery.....Nothing happens..? I also did Vice versa, put in the tool battery first then the Memory stick...still just a blank screen (Green Light is on) Also,the wifi/Memory stick light does not flashing while putting the Tool battery in. I read most of the forums to see what could fix this problem, but seems to do nothing. What am I doing wrong..?

Honestly, the only thing I can think of is the magic memory stick isn't working properly. It should automatically boot into service mode when you turn on the PSP. So it's something to do with the writing of the memory stick, the Eboot.PBP most likely.

LMAO..!!!
I Got it. For those who's having problems with the Memory stick not booting when you insert the TOOL BATTERY or have a BLANK SCREEN with no Memory light flashing. Follow this..!!

When you are following the "EasyInstaller"steps for formating your PSP drive. MAKE SURE YOU TYPE in the letter 'y' when it ask you too. I kept pressing 'ENTER' that causes the Memory stick not to format correctly and won't boot up when you put in your TOOL BATTERY. So make sure you read correctly. When it says "Do you want to continue? [Y]" type in 'Y'.

Yet another example of users not following the guide to a T.

Make sure you follow the guide as is. Do not skim over it then reply later complaining that it doesn't work.

It clearly says in the guide...

Type Y then ENTER when it ask if your sure you want to format.

I've successful upgrade using both 2GB and 4GB MS, I don't understand why people in the net not recommend 4GB, if you are a new comer, there is no reason to purchase 1GB or even 2GB memory card nowadays.

using a 4gig just for the magic memory stick is a complete waste. at least with a 512 or 1gig, you can keep it as a magic memory stick, and set it aside for later use.

it's more logical to use a small memory stick and put it aside.

I bought that battery for my psp slim and it works fine. I have no problem using that. GP2XSTORE.com was fast on there delivery.

If your local in Los Angeles, I will do it for you.

unfortunately, no, I'm not local :(. I'm just trying to figure out a way to get CFW on my PSP SLim.

It seems like the best way to go is to use the datel battery, along with teh guide above, and everything should be solid?

Buy the battery from the site and then just follow step by stem on the top of this page. I have search around from different sites and I found this guide from the first post the most valuable of all of the forums and thread out there. This guide was the best of all noobz guide. You cant go wrong with this.

What if people only have one memory card?

Telling them not to use 4gig memory sticks will make them think they can't do it without a 512mb or 1gig.

Yeah that happen when sometimes a wrong info get send out. Unfortunate that it happen and it happen often. I guess the lesson here is that make sure you read all post from different forums or post out there to make sure before doing anything.

This is the best guide ever!!! and i mean it. i would highly highly recommend getting ur battery on ebay or somewhere else tho. u can find pandora battery on ebay for around $20-30 so its not really worth modifying the original battery u have or buying a second battery and moding it. anyway, this is the BEST and simplest guide u can ever find. THANK YOU GUYS!!!!!!
