Unbrick Your PSP - DIY

Do you think that bricked PSP means the end of your PSP life? Do you ever have trouble trying to upgrade your PSP to custom firmware, but the result is having your PSP bricked and crying all night long? This guide will tell you how to revive your bricked PSP by creating a Pandora Battery (reversible) and Magic Memory Stick. The result is your PSP will be live again in version 1.50 (Then you can upgrade to any custom version from this point). Let's get it on! What you need is:

• Bricked PSP
  
• A working PSP (Slim or fat with custom 3.xx kernel)
• A fully charged fat PSP battery (to become a Pandora Battery)
• A fully formatted and working memory stick (but not more than 4 GB)

First thing you need to do is to transform your Memory Stick to Magic Memory Stick and your fat PSP battery into a Pandora Battery. Here's how:

1. Download this file: http://rapidshare.com/files/93578261/pan3xx.zip
2. Extract the folder pan3xx to /PSP/GAME folder in your memory stick.
3. Run Pandora for 3.xx from Game > Memory Stick
4. Press R + X and confirm with R + L + X to repartition and format the memory stick.
5. Restart the PSP and connect your memory stick to PC (either by using USB connection or data cable).
6. Create folder PSP and PSP/GAME inside your memory stick. Copy again pan3xx folder inside PSP/GAME.
7. Copy the official 1.50 firmware (UPDATE.PBP) to the root of memory stick. If you don't have it, you can download it here: http://rapidshare.com/files/93577710/Firmware-PSP-150.ZIP
   
8. Run Pandora for 3.xx again.
9. Prexx X to install files to memory stick (Creating Magic Memory Stick), then press L + X when asked.
10. Restart the program again then press O to make the fat PSP battery become Pandora Battery (Make sure that a fat PSP battery is inserted).
11. Press /\ (Triangle) to finally exit the program.

NOTE: A fat PSP battery can fit a PSP Slim but not vice versa.
