Sorry sicdude or anyone else of these helpful people out here, but when updating to 3.71 m33-2, after getting 1.50 kernal, the screen freezes at the white PSP screen. I saw what one of the people wrote about changing the configuration to 3.71, but the problem is I cant access the configuration.

Are you updating from 3.52M33 right to 3.52M33-4? You need only to do this as updates 1,2 and 3 are included in 4?

Also maybe try downloading update 4 from somewere else as you may have a bad download?

Just followed the instructions completely, and it still did the same thing, I even re-downloaded all the files from Dark Alex's page... I guess I'm just gonna give up on it.. Thanks for the advice though!

But if anyone has a fix for this please let me know!

**Update**

I tried to update it to 2 and it worked, but then when I tried 3 it bricked again.

for installing 3.71m33-2 on slims
universal unbricker
you can get it here http://dark-alex.org/ its called
>> El Despertar del Cementerio v3<< this will install 3.71m33-2 straight to your psp

Installation:

- If you have already a pandora ms, don't do this part. Otherwise,
format an ms using c+d mspformat or any other tool that allows to move
partition to ~250kb from first sector

Remove ms, usb and connect again usb and ms.
Make PSP and PSP/GAME dirs.

- Copy despertar_cementerio to PSP/GAME/

- Download 1.50, 3.40 and 3.71 update eboots and copy them to ms root with
150.PBP, 340.PBP and 371.PBP names.

- Use the app under a cfw with 2.x or 3.x kernel (be sure that kernel is
selected on recovery to the correct one (2.x or 3.x))

- Once finished, u will have msipl.bin on root. If you already have a pandora
ms, you don't have to do this step (ipl doesn't changes lol), otherwise,
use c+d msinst to install ipl on ms; or use dd command from unix, or any
hex-edit program to write on sector 16 on the physical drive.

- Now you can delete 340 and 150 PBP's, as they won't be used more; but 371.PBP
will be used for unbricker, so don't delete it.

- Now you have an universal pandora ms ready to go, and you just need a proper
battery. If you have 1.50 kernel access, use c+d tool. Otherwise, use corly149 tool.

Nah I can access recovery mode but just not configuration, so that I can check whether I am at 3.71, which is needed for the upgrade from 3.71 m33 to 3.71 m33-2 (I think). I've got 1.5 kernal, by the way, if that helps. Wondering what could have gone wrong...
By the way, thanks for replying, really appreciate it.
