I also got the same problem with the pandora battery I purchased from pspmods.com . The first time it worked, then suddenly go off, now nothing respond. I thought the battery need to be charged, so I put it, the orange led flash 1 time the turn into green then OFF (I already take off the MMS). Wat should I do now? anyway to know if the battery is real and how to know if it was charging ? THanks a lot for yr support.

Well the pandora battery is only to mod the PSP with custom firmware and the power adapter needs to be pluged in to the psp and the MMS will need to be in the psp to do that, then once the pandora battery is plugged into the psp it should start the modding process. Once the mod is done then you need to put your ragular battery back in to use the newly modded psp. The pandora battery will not hold a charge, its only to mod the psp not run it after its been modded.

I dont got wat u mean 'only to mod PSP with custom firmware'?? Is the pandora battery supposed to use for installing Custom firmware over the Original firmware??? I did follow the guide by seller, first unplug the charger n take off the original MMS n battery. Them put in the Pandora battery first (the green power led should be lighted as the guide said but nothing happen in my situation T__T), then wait for the MMS orange led to light up n put the Magic MMS in, then proceed to recovery mode and do update the custom firmware, is it a correct procedure? Pls help, I really got confused. Thank u. @_@

magic memory stick
you are going to need a sony or sandisk memory card, (not a fake, but a real one)
also make sure that they are no less than 256mb, but no more than 4gb
updated: the following memory stick works: Sony, Lexar, SanDisk, make sure it is real by:
- Sticking the stick in the psp
- Going to Videos (don't press X, just go to it)
- Press Triangle
- Go to Infomation
- At Supported, it should say MagicGate, if it doesn't then it is fake, and there is no way around this unless you have another psp with CFW, sorry, so do not ask
updated: according to mickey79, 8gb memory sticks can be used!!!
just download this big old file called The Filez You Need.7z
Here: http://www.zshare.net/download/170608149561f774/
* after you have the downloaded files we will make a magic memory stick! ( the easiest part)
- extract the The File You Need.7z to your desktop (use WinRAR)
- Open README 1st folder
- highlight and copy MSINST and MSPFORMAT FOLDER
- open My Computer
- Left Click the C: drive once (Note: if you double click, it will open C: drive)
- Now RIGHT Click on C: drive and PASTE
- format your memory stick thru your psp (Settings>System Settings>Format Memory Stick)
- once that is done, enable USB mode
- make note of your drive letter (usually E: or F)
- open up command propmt (click Start, select Run, type in cmd and hit enter_
- Type in the following command "CD C:\" (note: with-out quote mark) HIT enter
- type the following command "mspformat\mspformat.exe X" ( where X=psp drive letter) note: NO quotation
- hit enter button
- hit Y, then press enter
(for some people who are confused on this part, here is a side note: guess i wasnt clear enough, you type mspformat\mspformat.exe E if your drive letter is E, if it is another letter use that letter, then press enter, then hit y, then press enter again...sorry
- it should say "Drive succesfully formatted, and partition moved."
- disable USB mode, and take out the memory stick
- now re-insert the memory stick, and re-enable(this guide was made by hercules on pspmod.com) USB mode
- Now go back to the Desktop where you extracted the folder "The File You Need"
- double click it
- open the Despertar v3 folder, and copy its contents to your psp (just the contents, not the actual folder)
- now go back to your prompt window
- type the following command "msinst\msinst.exe X msinst\msipl.bin" (again where X=psp drive letter) note: NO quotation
- press Y and hit enter
- The last line should say " Write MS BOOT CODE "
- then type exit and enter
* you now have a magic memory stick!
---------------------------turning your psp into CFW--------------
now that you have a pandora's battery and a magic memory stick, you are ready to upgrade your PSP! w00t!!11!!!11!!!111!!
we are a matter of minutes away, but before we start, make sure you have at least a 78% charge, to charge it up with pandora's battery, plug
in your PSP into a AC adapter, turn it on, then pop on the battery, once the battery changes from green to orange, then it is charging...
after you have a fully charged battery, this is wat we will do....
make sure your magic stick is insde your psp, then pop in the battery, if the all the lights are blinking like crazy, then my friend, you
just rock!
if you have a slim, and the green light is on, but the screen is black, dont worry, you are okay! i went thru the same problem, then about
two weeks later a found the soultion...take out the battery, hold down the L button, insert the battery (while still holding down the L
button) once your lights blink like crazy, then it worked...
press X to install 3.71 m33-2...just set the psp down, do not take out the battery..it should say "install sucess. press X to reboot" press X
and viola, you have custom firmware!
