So I used the Lumines 3.5 downgrader, not thinking I would ever want to go back to official, but then I got a hankering to play Patapon. I want to go official just to not have to deal with the complexity of all the PSP hacking that is completely beyond my understanding, so basically I'm just trying to figure out the easiest way to get to 3.73.

Right now I'm on 2.81, and I'm not sure how to go about this. Should I upgrade to 3.5, use the lumines downgrader again, then use a key cleaner? Or should I be using pandora, which I keep hearing I should use but I have absolutely no idea what route I'm supposed to take with that one.

I don't care how, just trying to get to 3.73. Any help is much appreciated. Sorry for probably sounding utterly clueless.

if your in 2.80 official firmware the game itself should ask you if you want to upgrade to a higher official firmware so you can play.

No guys, the problem is that I can't upgrade to the official firmware. The downgrade patches your psp's idkeys, so the OFW won't accept it.

That sounds good. The tutorial only details how to upgrade from 1.5 and then from 3.52 m33. Do you know if I can upgrade from 2.81, or do I need to downgrade first?

If you want official, use Chilly willy's key cleaner to fix your keys.

If you want the easiest way to get cfw use pandoras.
