I appear to be experienceing an issue when attempting to run the universal downgrader/unbricker on PHAT PSP running 3.40-OE. The problem presents itself when the PSP is turned on automatically after inserting the JigKick battery and before reading from the Magic Memory Stick. The PSP seems to simply hang or is completely idle with a blank screen, nothing happens even if I leave the device on for half an hour. Please can someone help.
(I would like to ensure the Magic Memory Stick and JigKick battery have been confirgured properly before attempting to downgrade a friends PSP with version 3.60 running on it)

Can you tell us what happens when the PSP turns on? Just power light/ All three lights?

Thanks for your prompt response.
Only the power light turns on, I can see the screen does come on but its completely blank. No other lights come on...I've tried two different memory cards; SanDisk 2GB UltraII Memory Stick Duo Pro and a Sony 64MB Memory Stick Duo Pro.

If that happens, it means that the battery has been created right, but the memory stick has something wrong with it, have you tried different ways of making it?

Hi Shokz, thanks for getting back to me. I used the following instructions to make the memory card...are there alternative ways to do this...?

PANDORA'S BATTERY
=================
A universal PSP unbricker/downgrader by the Prometheus project, also
known as Team C+D.
REQUIREMENTS
- A spare PSP Battery. Any make will do. Using a spare is best, as it
will not be possible to boot the PSP in its normal state with the
modified battery.
- A spare Memory Stick Pro Duo of less than 4Gb. (256Mb should be
enough for all applications).
- A PSP with a Custom Firmware such as OE, M33 or WC, or a PSP with
the 1.5 original kernel.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
- Connect the PSP to the PC with the Memory Stick inside via the USB
Connection.
- Format the Memory Stick using any utility.
- Use mspformat to format the Memory Stick logically.
- Remove the Memory Stick and disable the USB connection.
- Connect the Memory Stick again via the USB connection of the PSP.
- Manually create the PSP/GAME (optionally PSP/GAME150) folders on the
Memory Stick.
- Copy the "battery" and "installer" programs to the PSP/GAME
(optionally PSP/GAME150) folder.
- Copy the 1.50 official updater as UPDATE.PBP to the root of the
Memory Stick.
- Remove the Memory Stick and disable the USB connection.
- Run "installer" through the firmware on the PSP. This application
will create the firmware files on the root of the Memory Stick, as
well as msipl.bin.
- Connect the Memory Stick again via the USB connection of the PSP.
- Execute "msinst" application on the PC with the msipl.bin to write
the IPL to memory stick.
- Remove the Memory Stick and disable the USB connection.
- Execute "battery" application on the PSP to modify the battery.
- Congratulation, you are now in posession of a "Magic Memory Stick"
and a "JigKick Battery".
USAGE
- Insert Memory Stick into the PSP
- Remove power cord and insert the JigKick Battery into the PSP.
- A menu appears when the PSP boots. Follow the onscreen information
and instructions.
NOTES AND RESTRICTIONS
- The firmware in the Memory Stick is not a full 1.50, but a minimal
subset. Therefore, not all applications (such as flashers, or
recovery apps) will load.
- Only Memory Stick Pro Duo are compatible. Memory Stick Duo
(e.g. 32MB sticks) are not supported.
- The IDStorage cannot be totally restored, as there is no known way
to regenerate it properly.
- It is strongly RECOMMENDED to make a flash dump of the PSP before
any downgrading operation.
- There might be a BSOD at the end of the downgrade. This is normal,
and happens on the standard downgraders.
- All hardware revisions known at this day are supported.
- This release contains no Sony-copyrighted material. All required
Sony data is generated from the v1.50 update files.
CREDITS
- Please do not edit or remove these credits... ;)

nothing would have been possible.

If you want to do it manually, the "official" guide isn't exactly the best, most people can't follow it. I'd suggest using this guide instead, it's still the same files, but the explanation of how to do it is more straight forward.

Haha, guess you missed this section of the official guide then:
- Connect the Memory Stick again via the USB connection of the PSP.
- Execute "msinst" application on the PC with the msipl.bin to write
the IPL to memory stick.
- Remove the Memory Stick and disable the USB connection.
:D

PSP slim cant rum FW 3.60>>. you can use pandora to change it from 3.60 to 3.60m33 or 3.71m33. the slim has diffrent (motherborad) to the fat so cant run 1.50 - 3.52.
most homebrews will work on 3.60m33 for the slim even though it wont have the 1.50 kernel.

That means the battery is working fine as a Pandora, but the memory stick has files missing or corrupted. Just wondering though, are you putting in the battery or the memory stick first?

Try just making the memory card again and remember to logically format if it doesn't do it for you. You can use the same battery.
