Custom Firmware Enabler 2.5 Released.
Xenogears and Becus25 have released an update to their Custom Firmware Enabler, this small update is to address an issue causing PRX plug-ins to not load up properly. And before you ask, no it didn’t add PSP-3000 compatibility unfortunately.
What is CFW enabler? When used in conjunction with ChickHEN R2, 5.03 firmware TA-88v3 users can load 5.00 M33 custom firmware without fully flashing the NAND memory.
How to enable POPS in Custom Firmware Enabler 2.5, First download Firmware 5.00. Start PSARDumper and decrypt the 5.00 Eboot. Now Copy the “pops.prx” and “popsman.prx” from the F0 directory to your memory stick under PSP/GAME/CFWEnabler/Pops. And then “Enable Pops Support” from CFWEnabler.

I don’t see why a PSP 3000 version isn’t developed yet. If a custom firmware is developed for the PSP Go… I give up all hope on the PSP community.

Please help….
Now that i have the copy of the custom firmware enabler. Chikkhen, and PSARdumper, can any one give me step by step procedure what to do with this, I have PSP OFW 4.01 from japan.can i play ISO games w/ these or just homebrew games. sorry but i really dont know much about these. Thanks in advance
June 4, 2009 at 12:50 pm
1. check your motherboard if it has ta-88v2 or lower (Determine using pspident, you need to activate chickhen first)
2. if it has ta-88v3, enable chickhen (its easier to enable chickhen if you system is restored to default settings), then run CFWEnabler then choose flash and start. Then make a folder called ISO on the root of your mms. And Your DONE. move your iso/cso to the iso folder
If You have 88v2 or lower, just use easy cfw installer.
June 5, 2009 at 6:28 am
sorry, i really dont know, how can i activate Chichen? so that i can determine my motherboard? do u have a YM account so that i can ask u about a STEP BY STEP as in , step by step, thanks for your help.
June 5, 2009 at 6:34 am
hi, how can i activate Chickhen to determine my motherboard?
sorry
June 4, 2009 at 1:29 pm
Did the 4.01 OFW came with the PSP?? or did u install it from 3.XX? (XX=number) If it came with 4.01 from the box then u can use chickHEN and install CFWEnabler but if u upda8ed it from 3.XX then u can install CFW.
By the way. If it came out with 4.01 then it is unhackable but can load CFWEnabler. Hope this helps.
June 5, 2009 at 6:31 am
it came with a 4.01, so if i can load CFW enabler, so what games will i expect to have if i use that CFW enabler? thanks
June 4, 2009 at 12:43 pm
hey ppl i have news i downlloaded the game gripshift and the save game exploit and then the blurry screen came out and i guess hacked my psp ta88-v3 i installen the gen cfw (because gen cfw is the only compatible cfw with the gripshift save game exploit) and when i off my psp it is still the cfw gen i will be posting a video soon
note:i have the cfwe enabler
June 4, 2009 at 1:03 pm
dont listen to him this is likely an attempt to get you to brick your PSPs
June 4, 2009 at 1:30 pm
Faker!
June 4, 2009 at 3:10 pm
hey 2in1 the gripshift game has a buffer flow invernability meaning it cant brick your psp besides my gripshift game was a rip
June 4, 2009 at 12:49 pm
NOW STOP WAITING
AND START TO BUY UMD!!!!
June 4, 2009 at 1:48 pm
chickhen R3 will be out soon as i read on some forums
they say it is this week hopefully
it will support psx not iso i hope iso loader will be out with is
cheer up guys
June 4, 2009 at 1:57 pm
Agreed with RAHUL. Start buying UMD rather than cheating sony etc. You may play ISO/CSO games, but if you LIKE IT, BUY IT!
June 4, 2009 at 2:01 pm
Make ISO Loader or CFW enabler for PSP3000 users,we are waiting!!Please make one!!
June 4, 2009 at 2:59 pm
im getting this error whenever i try to start an iso game:
the game couldnt be started
(80020321)
any ideas on how to correct it????
please help
June 4, 2009 at 4:05 pm
Run the CFWEnabler then go to settings.. then… (Looking into PSP) go to configurations.. then go down to UMD mode then press X to change teh Driver.. Make it M33 Driver.. this should help you to play ISO.. i think.. it worked for me.. Enjoy!!
June 4, 2009 at 3:01 pm
Shut the hell up about getting CFW on 3k PSPs. THIS IS NOT THE SITE WHERE THE HACKS ARE BEING MADE. If they can make it work THEN THEY WILL. If only to shut people up.
June 4, 2009 at 3:44 pm
hea DaedulusBear! I think you should shut up. This website is designed so that we can talk about anything anywhere. Anyways CFW on psp 3000 does have to do with this CFW enabler because it could encourage them to devolpe one for the psp 3000.
June 4, 2009 at 3:52 pm
hope all type of psp slim 200x will be compatible to the new chickHEN R3. Still few psp 2000 slim series can enjoy the chickHEN R2. Mine still not compatible with the present chickHEN released.
June 4, 2009 at 4:11 pm

why is there hen for then?
June 4, 2009 at 4:32 pm
yes. the psp 3000 users are waiting!
June 4, 2009 at 4:33 pm
Hey Hummer, if you learned to read you would see that they have said MANY times that they are looking into the PSP 3k hacks. Not to mention if you had read what I said, the person who runs this site DOES NOT have ANYTHING to do with the devs that create the hacks. He just finds the material and translates.
I’m just tired of peoples real issues with getting this to work being buried under ZOMG MAKE FOR 3K PLZ KTHX posts that are not any way associated with this topic…. That’s why they have the fucking forums.

Response to DaedulusBear
You are right that the makers of the hack doesnt post this download. BUT when many people want something like a cfw for psp 3000 then usually somebody will make that happen. The makers of the hacks wont make them if there are no one to use/want them
June 4, 2009 at 5:12 pm
Could Someone Help me.. Please!! I Want to play Final Fantasy Crisis Core!! please read the comment 3 posts before this post. thats my problem.. help me!!
June 4, 2009 at 5:51 pm
Already answered. Pls. read a little. For your sake I will repeat it for you. If other ISO games worked for you rather than FFVII your iso file is corrupt. Try deleting it in the MS then recopy again. If still freezes delete your old FFVII and download again a fresh copy. Try other links. This would fix your life risking for FFVII. LOL!
June 4, 2009 at 6:01 pm
I guess you have a bad ISO.. I’m playing Crisis Core and I’m halfway through the game..
June 4, 2009 at 5:14 pm
Okay, so no 3k support this time, but thats ok, I can wait.
Good work anyway guys!
June 4, 2009 at 5:53 pm
I need help, when i try to save Harvest Moon(Back to Nature) my psp freeze and then shut off…

June 4, 2009 at 6:03 pm

June 4, 2009 at 6:25 pm
pluggins are confirmed working on my 2000 ta-088v3… Thanks now everything works!
June 4, 2009 at 8:24 pm
How do you get your plugins to work.. I have the exact same motherboard as you and I cannot get to Recovery Mode to activate them…
Thanks!
June 4, 2009 at 6:43 pm
what “without fully flashing the NAND memory.” mean?
June 4, 2009 at 6:57 pm
In your PSP you have a few flash caches and a main BIOS cache. With certain PSP’s, attempts to flash the main BIOS will cause your PSP to brick, or not function. What this CFW enabler does is flash to one of the minor caches which are rewritten every time you boot up your PSP, which is why you have to reload after every power down.
June 6, 2009 at 7:08 am
Ohh i see. thx.. too bad i cant use my back up battery.. T_T..
oh well, i’ll wait..
June 4, 2009 at 7:59 pm
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo_brdJEGxo this the video say full hack psp 3000 but they say we should buy the code for it to bypass the preipl
June 4, 2009 at 9:01 pm
can the 2000 ta-88v3 be hacked with this?
June 4, 2009 at 10:10 pm
Can someone please enlighten me on if this works!!!
June 4, 2009 at 10:56 pm
That is a scam, it is just a guy showing you what ChickHEN R2 can do. That pass is utter bull shit.
June 8, 2009 at 5:41 am
I found in this version of CFWEnabler that plugins do in fact work, but when I launch the EBOOT and select plugins from the menu the PSP completely lockes up and shuts down. Therefore the plugin problem is half fixed you just have to activate them manually using usb
June 4, 2009 at 9:17 pm
yes btw any luck with eboots any1 I still can load them do i need a plugin? ive allready flashed pops
June 4, 2009 at 9:50 pm
sry I cant load them
June 5, 2009 at 1:47 am
I flashed pops as stated in the instructions (step by step) then converted the disc #1 of FF8 to eboot using PSX2PSP and everything works fine.
Im still in 2.50 but when upgraded from 2.10 I did not have to re-flash the pops.
I haven’t added any other plugin, just pops.
June 4, 2009 at 9:41 pm
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeck YEAH 2nd post……..sry nice update yall : )
June 4, 2009 at 9:51 pm
i dont get the option of “Enable Pops Support” in CFW enabler 2.51
June 4, 2009 at 9:59 pm
i think yr supposed to get a plugin im not too sure
June 4, 2009 at 10:22 pm
it no work for me
June 4, 2009 at 11:23 pm
Hi guys just a few noob questions,lol, I will like answered.
1. After I run the custome firmware enabler 2.51and my psp will read 5.03M33?
2. If I turn off my psp, will I lose the mod and I will have to run over CHickHEN R2 and the CFWE 2.51?
3. Is there an easier way to run the CHickHen R2?
4. If I have CFWE 2.50 already installed, who do I install CFWE2.51?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Bandolero
June 5, 2009 at 12:15 am
I dont know all the answers to your questions because i have a psp 3000 but i can answer some
2.It is only when you reset your psp when you will have to reactivate the exploit and the files will still be there
3.There is no eaiser way to run the ChickHen (if you are having trouble activating the HEN then restore the setting to defalt settings on your psp then try it right after that. That always works for me.
June 5, 2009 at 12:34 am
1.no it reads 5.00m33 since its made for that eboot firmware
2.yes you will have to reload
3.no there is not
4.just run the eboot. it will already know that you have older version, so it will update.
June 5, 2009 at 12:36 am
i so happy that this stuff is out now i can use fusa and remotejoy which is two of the things ive been wanting. know if we can just get cxmb support. has any one tested a cxmb.
June 5, 2009 at 1:29 am
Hey bro! Are you akai of pinoywap.Net?
June 5, 2009 at 3:11 am
nope different person
June 5, 2009 at 3:18 am
i don’t see why cxmb wouldnt work, as the only thing it flashes is what the FW belives to be PTF data, and it doesnt overwrite anything (Except the previous theme data )
June 5, 2009 at 1:26 am
5.03 GenA is online guys thanks davee and mariama f**k you dark alex
June 5, 2009 at 3:22 am
but without DAX, NONE of this would be possible
BOTH of their homebrew’s run promarily on HIS MODULES
All HEN does is basicly the “Test M33″ feature you see on DC, just adding\removing some modules
And all This does is load the iso modules….
This IS DAX’s work.
June 6, 2009 at 3:18 am
DAX Davee and all the hackers thanks…………
