Pandora’s Battery (unbrick Your PSP)


[krazywhiteguy310] let me know about the announcement of the Pandora battery hack. It’ll cost you a Sony PSP battery to pull off the hack, but once you’re done, you can use it to jump start your bricked PSP to load up a memory imaged designed to unbrick the PSP. (I haven’t tested it, so I’m taking this on faith) Excellent news if you’ve bricked your PSP.

  1. naaaa hey guys I wanna know why most most of you here want to downgrade the firmware?
    as far as I know the latest firmware is will be the best… currently I upgrade my firmware from 3.90MM-3 to 5.00MM-3 firware and it was working fine I can play all the EBOOT games and it’s compatible to all previous firmware games as long as you’ll going to update the SEPLUGGINS of the PSP. I’ve got all this resources at http://www.pspiso.com go to games section and look for the account of HAKO everything regarding to the instructions of upgrading your firmware and using the pandoras battery is there. check it out and see it for your self…

  3. hi i’m new to all this i have read bits about how this is done i have a slim psp2003 v4.01. i have also bought a pandora battery i have a 1gb mem card and a 8gb mem card can someone please help on how i can start to play games of my memory card
    thanks.

  4. hi. i have a older psp (fat one) with firmware 5.00. i have a magic memory stick with all the requird files on and a pandora battery. When i insert the pandora battery the power light shows theres a battery there but the screen wont come on at all, just stays black. Is there anyone who can help me?

  5. I have a question about running ISOs. I downgraded my psp to v1.5 bout a year and a half ago and haven’t really done much ever since. I have the Devhook 0.46 which allows me to switch between 2.71 and 1.5. I wanted to play homebrew games and it worked great for me so far. However now that I found out you can play ISO files, I can only get couple ISO files to run on it. I’ve been out of this for a while now and looks like everything has changed. I just downloaded Pandora Deluxe 3.0. Will running that program change anything for my psp? And what the heck is a Pandora’s battery. When I was downgrading mine I never had to worry about anything like that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

  6. I just went fron devhook 0.56 on a 1.50 OFW to 5.0 M33-4 CFW last weekend. I hadn’t fooled with it for a while, like you.

    You need to go get Despertar del Cementerio version 8 and it helped me create a pandora battery and ramp up to 5.00 M33-4.

    I might have gone to 3.71 M33-3 before I went to 5.00. I forget.

    But one of the upgrades did TAKE OVER AN HOUR, so be patient, it really takes that long especially on a psp-1001.

  7. Ok, so i read your post and everything. The first thing someone needs to do before editing firmware and downgrading is purchasing a Pandora Battery and MMS if you haven’t gotten one already.
    One site that I recommend is this: http://www.psppandora.net
    I usually buy from there when I mod and hack for others, but that your choice if you want to get from them. It pretty cheap compared to everywhere else.
    After buying, if you need help let me know.

  8. Hi, i got a psp 1001 and i was updating to the latest firmwere its 500 something, its downloaded on my duo card, but power went out and my upload did not take!

  11. my 3k is perfect the way it is and i can get so many used games on umd for $10 at the pawnshop i’ll never be able to play them all. new titles too.

    and the 3k screen is so much better than the 2k. the colorspace mode is superior. the interlacing hype is a total lie.

    yeah, just get a 3k and use it, it does enough things well.

  12. Hello,
