PSP 3000 firmware 5.03 hacked

PSP firmware 5.03 has been hacked by Team Typhoon. This allows you to run custom code on the PSP by taking advantage of the tiff exploit. You’ll have to wait to download the hack though, they haven’t released it yet. This means those of you still on 5.02 or still using the little blue tool will be able to upgrade soon.

    Now I can stop regretting running the update.

  • xrazorwirex says:

    Even if this is legit – it’s still gonna be a while before someone develops cfw and finds a way to implement that, I’m sure.

  • cat says:

    This thing can only run homebrew, it can’t run ISO/PSX games. =/

  • dustin says:

    it is a start. i remember back in the day buying gta just to run a few homebrew games. that later got me into programming again. i didn’t make anything worthwhile or even release anything but it got me looking at C++ again. eventually dax or someone will make the psp 3000 run cfw. good work guys.

  • Chris says:

    how do I install it and hoe do I use it on the psp 3000 and does it play emus and roms on it now that its hacked?

  • pUthY says:

    Hmmmmmmm! How can i run ISO on PSP-3000?

  • _EX says:

    So before I get my hopes up what exactly does this allow us to do?

    Just run custom code? or have they got some apps to take advantage of this lapse in security?

    Will there be a custom firmware soon?

  • Decius says:

    The HEN can only run a limited amount of Homebrew (Unsigned code) That goes for all psp’s. There is no support for the playing of ISO’s or CSO’s yet.

    Just gotta wait untill they release a working CFW, It took them about a month or 2 from first finding out the exploit in the lib tiff to release HEN..

    So likely hood of seeing CFW in just a “few days”is unlikely im afraid =[

  • Zensthoth says:

    I used this update to run psp tools which then let me softmod my battery into a pandora. once this is done along with a magic memory stick you can load a permanent custom firmware that will stay on unlike the chickHEN which only last until power down. Came in very handy since I didn’t know anyone with a hacked PSP I could use and didn’t feel like cracking open my only battery. afterwards I just reflashed the eprom in the battery to the origanl serial and works great.

  • _EX says:

    @ Zensthoth

    will what you did work for a 3000?

  • Yarrrrgh says:

    @ _ex

    No, you’ll brick your PSP if you try to do that with a PSP 3000 or the PSP 2000 with the 88v3 motherboard.

    It works on all other PSPs however.

  • _EX says:

    Good thing I asked then

  • Samuel says:

    If it only runs homebrew then all you need to do is run a loader to load up games like in 150ofw. There is plenty of ram implemented to run smoothly

  • jaq says:

    yes you can run emulators and use homwbrew apps and games, its legit and its working.. unfortunately as of now it cant run cso/iso but still big thanks to davee and his team. hopefully someone will pacth iso/cso loader on our psp bright

  • jaq says:

    chickHEN will work with psp 3000 series and it will not brick ur psp because it will not touch the flash of it..

  • mj says:

  • sadfasdf says:

    im finished i wont ask any thing elese if you answer this

  • hunter says:

    ok cool it says it runs (HEN)… big deal. Can it run .iso’s or not!!!

  • rockmandensetsu says:

    will this work on anything lower than 5.03? and will it work on psp3000… i know noob questions, but i don’t want to rape my psp >.<

  • rockmandensetsu says:

    plus, what kind of homebrew? i mainly want emulators so will they work?

  • _EX says:

    @ Sadfasdf.
    There is a link on this page to it retard. 9 comments in 10 min isnt going to get you what you want any sooner.

    @ Hunter.
    Not yet. ISO/CSO support hasnt been made for it. It may only be a matter of time. Apparently the creator of Chickhen didnt want ISO support so isnt going to help.

    @ rockmandensetsu.

    It will ONLY WORK on FW 5.03, nothing else.
    It runs homebrew apps. From what I know homebrew is its own type so anything homebrew will work. All emulators work and homebrew games do. It may just be ISO support that isnt supported

    This is the link I used and it lead me to help and you may not even need anything else other than this site so at least read this before whinning http://www.psp-hacks.com/2009/05/06/chickhen-homebrew-enabler-r2-released/

  • rockmandensetsu says:

    @_ex

    i updated and done it xD yay n64 on psp finally

    birng on the cfw :)

  • PspHacKeRFoRLiFe says:

    Yes it is finally here but not to stay RE MORE

    if you turn your psp all the way off it will make it go away then you have to through the process of enabling it.

    But hit me up iwillhappen@yahoo.com

  • rockmandensetsu says:

    @psphackerforlife

    not a lengthy process….

    plus the new beta of daedelus made my psp crash when i tried to play paper mario

  • name says:

    omg thats so kool but my psp did not bring with usb for some reason i gotta buy it]=| i hope they get cfw soon

  • Finally after hunting so many rubishy blogs, I finally find the information I have been looking for, thanks!

  • free psp go says:

    great blog and theme did you design this or was it a free theme?

  • just found this blog via twitter some excellent info thank you.

  • rockmandensetsu says:

    i’ve been reading on forums, that this doesn’t always work for people…when it does work for me(running 3000) i start up my psp then turn it partially off the flash save thingie, and take out my memory stick and put it back in, and it works, bad way of explaining but i hope it’s partially understandable

  • rockmandensetsu says:

    doesn’t work for me*

  • Wtf!? says:

    ,hey when will u release a cfw for psp 3000??:-P

  • MeMeME says:

    just so you guys know,psp 3000 has just gotten a cutsom firmware.sorta. they used the hen exploit, to run their program.www.pspgen.com….french so u guys can translate yourselves.

  • gremmel says:

    Well yeah umm…. my version is 5.50 … I guess I should’ve came here before I updated cause it don’t work

  • Zaq says:

    are there certain emulators that dont work with this HEN? because i keep trying to install a GBA one in here, but it keeps freezing when i load roms

  • Zaq says:

    oh and the gba emulator is uogpsp kai

  • makoy says:

    i just had my psp 3000 using the firmware 5.03.
    so far there are no hangups to the games that i had played. Great job guys

  • squall0833 says:

    Yes, it works on psp3000, iso/PSX also works, but got some bugs in recovery mode,
    it doesn’t touch ur flash0, so ur psp would be fine,

    My advice,

    If you use ChickHEN + GEN-A CFW on PSP3k,
    ONLY for ISO/CSO and homebrews which does not touch ur flash0,

    DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING IN FLASH0, YOU DID IT YOU GET A PERMANENT BRICK!
    AND DO NOT USE ANY HOMEBREWS WHICH MAY ACCESS YOUR FLASH0! ! ! !

  • justin says:

    since it runs homebrew couldnt you just run despar v8 or something

  • justin says:

    also you can change ur cold boot by using 2 homebrew apps that do not touch ur flash0

  • Zaq says:

    is squall0833′s method confirmed?

  • cery says:

    can help me how to down grade a PSP 3000 coz many costumer ask me how to down grade Psp 3000 pls!!!! teach me?????

  • ghettoblast says:

    Aaah, games, they’ve taken so much of my precious lifetime already. I wonder if I’ll get a bonusgame when I die =P

  • vu says:

    how to run 5.03 hen thanks

  • SifJar says:

    “This means those of you still on 5.02 or still using the little blue tool will be able to upgrade soon.”

    The “little blue tool” was never released for PSP 3000, and was useless anyway. The pre-IPL on 3000 (and 2000s with ta88v3) hasn’t been cracked, meaning putting them into service mode does no good. Get the facts straight please.

  • Mweo says:

    ok from what i seen cfw wont be out till they find a way in to the kernel. it would be so much better if some from sony who works on psp’s steped up cause they got a tool that sends it in to service mode where you can reach the kernel then MOD it.
    i have been looking at this Blue tool from the uk for 35CAD and has a switch that lets youmove from battery to service battery NOT Pandora.
    so my buddy ordered it and if it works ON HIS PSP 3000 cause dam if im letting him use mine i will post on here good or bad what happened and maybe my bud will offer a deal for people who want it done. Contact me if you wanna buy the tool cause im not going to post the link up here.
    and remember its 5 dollars well Canadian dollars

    Mweo_@hotmail.com

  • jimmytan says:

    omg.mine also updated 5.53 so….how to do ? pls & thx for some body helped me ~….let me know as soon as possible … i have been waiting half year more …

  • Anonymous says:

    Just brick it down,….

  • Razhikamaru says:

    Hope this might do the trick..i have a 5.03 Software on my PSP-3000..I have a chickHEN installed in it..when you want to retrieve the games saved on your memory stick if it’s lost or corrupted…”Just go to videos press(O) then (X) then go to “Camera” option select “Pictures” option then press (O),then Press and hold “DOWN” button until it reaches the bottom part of the blank pictures. then, press “UP” again do this 4X..2X each so to speak…then let your PSP absorb the chickHEN software..then your PSP would reboot itself without turning it OFF..then run the 3.06 enabler on your “Memory Stick” option then you will see the PSP Logo..and there you go!…enjoy….(this is based on my experience for everyday retrieving my corrupted games all-day for hours…)
    just a quick Question…is there an upcoming permanent software that we could use to play games saved on a memory stick?

  • JimmyJones says:

    -Jonathan- you can’t download it with a toshiba computer, get a better computer. Then download it. Then hold the PSP screen to the screen of the better computer. Then cluck like a chicken. Then learn how to use google. Then look for the link two posts above yours. Then read it. Then realise what an idiot you’ve been. Then learn which ones of these steps I’ve made up for my own amusement. Then learn that if you don’t have the wherewithal to research and figure this out without asking for the millionth time how to do this in the wrong place no less, that you do not deserve a hacked PSP. Then post your PSP to me. Do not expect it back. I’ll show it a good time in the back seat of my car. Then cry yourself to sleep while you think about me fiddling with your ex-PSP and falling asleep with it in my arms.

  • andrew says:

    is there any way to get my psp 3000 with firmware 6.20 to a some kind of custom firmware?
    HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!

  • andrew says:

    guys how do i get an ISO game on my psp 3000 with firmware 6.20

  • G3kk0 says:

    You cannot run isos from the memory stick on psps 3000 that have official firmware, and you cannot install custom firmware on it either. The only thing for us ignorants and or foolish enough to update beyond OF 5.03 is to wait, and wait, and wait.

    The big banks and Wall Street took billions in bailout money from taxpayers and then turned it into huge profit. Last week a veteran trader showed his insiders how the big banks made a huge power grab that allowed them to grow unchecked.
