OK, get this to everyone's brain:
DON'T MESS WITH FLASH0 FOR 3.71M33!!!
You'd be like "OMG, but i want cool themes"
Well, you can.
All you need to do is go to the root of your MS.Click on to the PSP folder.Now, make a folder called THEME(yes, in caps)and just place your themes there.
People will be thanking you if you tell them not to mess with flash0, because of the amount of noobs out there messing with flash with 3.71M33.Other CFW are ok to "mess" about but not the best idea as there are chances of semi-bricking, but they're recoverable.
Where to download them? Click here.
Thanks to psp[dot]420 for sharing it with us.
Thanks to sicdude for sharing the link with us.
Tell me if i've done the tut wrong.
Thanks much for reading ^_^'
*UPDATE*
You can flash if you want, but if you're unsure then don't touch those flash files!and as sicdude said(post below)find a 3.71M33 compatible theme.If you place a 3.52M33 theme then BRICK!copying your flash0 back will not work as it has happened to many people.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The correct way to backup 3.71 M33/M33-2/M33-3 files is by enabling flash0 via Recovery Menu (Don't flash your XMB via VSH menu or you will semi-brick).
When the flash0 window comes up on the PC go to Tools> Folder Options> View Tab>...
Tick the radial that says (show hidden files and folders)
Untick the box that says (Hide Protected Operating System files).
Click on Apply then OK.
Now drag the flash0 files over to PC to back them up (Make sure the steps above are also done when recovering your flash0 files).
Credit for backing up 3.71M33 goes to Larry.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT
When messing with 3.71M33 flash0, it will cause flash1 corruption.If you want to prevent that from happening, then back up your nand using either Pandora's Battery or the Universal Unbricker V3(Pandora is highly recommended)and when you have a flash1 corruption brick, then just restore nand for a safe re-flash.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Another important thing ;P
If you flash your flash0 by accident then you're bricked. The most common way of creating the flash1 corruption brick is probably messing with the font folder or replacing the flash. To back up 3.71M33 flash0 properly, look higher in this post.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
**WARNING**// 16/11/07 - 17:54
If you wish to use another nand dump to fix your flash1 brick then tr it. Using someone else's nand dump will have 90% chance of fully bricking your PSP. Use your own nand dump or you'll muck it up. If you've bricked by the flash1 corruption and can't fix it, then my advice is to use another nand dump if you have it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
I guess this guide can be dumped into the other dead threads because all PSP 3.71M33 users has now got it all in their head :) My job here is done :P

actually it is safe to flash themes into your 3.71m33-2 as long as it is compatible you can find some here http://www.consolespot.net/index.php?network=xmb
as with any other custom firmware you just need to make sure you put everything into the right folders

Here is some more info you might wanna place into your Guide. Shows how to backup your flash0 files on 3.71 M33/M33-2 properly.
The correct way to backup 3.71 M33/M33-2 files is by enabling flash0 via Recovery Menu (Don't flash your XMB via VSH menu or you will semi-brick).
When the flash0 window comes up on the PC go to Tools> Folder Options> View Tab>...
Tick the radial that says (show hidden files and folders)

Now drag the flash0 files over to PC to back them up (Make sure the steps above are also done when recovering your flash0 files).

You might no be able to access recovery mode if you encounter the flash1 corruption brick.Just remember to back up your nand(Pandora's Battery is highly recommended for backing up nand) then you're fine.Try flashing flash0 with Larry's help, but I haven't tried it so I don't want to hold responsibility of your bricks.But I have a feeling that you'll do it good.

Here's how to back up nand.
Get Pandora's Battery or Universal Unbricker DC-3.I recommend you using Pandora for backing up nand.
Now enter your magic MS and PB into your PSP and wait...Now back up your nand.
Wait and then you're done.
Messing with flash0 might not just cause flash1 corruption, but it will brick you.

Maybe it's because 3.71 has a change of flash...So...I don't know.If I were you, I'd back up nand then mess with your flash.Safest possible way.

If you're going to flash 3.71M33 but without a battery, then I suggest that you don't.You'll need your battery, and restoring nand requires the PB to do so.

You can flash 3.71M33 with one battery but not back up nand.
