CFWEnabler 3.30 menu screen.
This is a quick tutorial / guide to running Custom Firmware Enabler 3.30+ on your PSP-3000. We have two choices for CFW on our PSP-2000 TA-088v3+ models and PSP-3000’s. Either 5.03 GEN-A or this custom firmware. We’re now swaying towards Xenogears and becus25’s CFWEnabler as the updates are rolling out quicker, it has less bugs and a pretty menu system for enabling the various options.
- You need official Firmware 5.03 installed to begin (ChickHEN needs this fw version)
- Install ChickHEN R2 and get that running, use our tutorial and guide located here: Guide to running ChickHEN R2 on your PSP-3000 / PSP-2000 TA88v3+
- Now download Custom Firmware Enabler 3.30 and install this to your PSP Memory card. put the file CWEnabler folder in PSP/GAME
- With ChickHEN R2 loaded in your PSP XMB go to GAME, Memory Stick and then load CFWEnabler
- You’ll boot up into a CFWEnabler screen, Select install and your PSP will reboot.
- After which your PSP will reboot into 5.00 M33-6 CFW! Easy as pie!!
In order to enter the setting and configuration menu (Recovery menu) Simply run CFWEnabler from your XMB again and this time hold the R shoulder button. You’ll boot up into the menu screen (top)
Here you have the following pretty menu’s:
Custom Firmware Enabler: Your main Config menu
Custom Firmware Enabler: Plug-ins
Custom Firmware Enabler: CPU settings
Custom Firmware Enabler: Registry Hacks
MAC address spoof turned on. XMB effect only
The above screen demonstrates the MAC adress Spoof, so its not visible in the XMB. Good for screenshots like this. We haven’t gone into the Pops flashing as CFWEnabler 3.2+ supports native PSX/PS1 emulation and its pretty good.

Hey will it remail in cfw forever
June 14, 2009 at 6:35 pm
If you mean these features without ever having to update then you should experince no problems.
June 14, 2009 at 10:55 am
i love the cpu settings……my games load so much faster now that i have set the speed to 333/166
June 14, 2009 at 11:00 am
hey whats the cfe_loader.prx [pops]???…..i am playing psx games but i dont have that in my plugins menu??? anyone got an answer???
June 14, 2009 at 11:09 am
You don’t need to worry about that if the native 5.03 pops plays all your PS1 games without issues. leave it at that. Flashing pops is if you want to use other versions.
June 14, 2009 at 6:32 pm
thos plugins are diffrent. they dont show, but if you’re able to play psx then they are working just fine.
June 14, 2009 at 11:01 am
Hi, I have a problem. Is it normal to turn CFW3.2 I must first turn on the 1.0 version?
June 14, 2009 at 11:08 am
makes no sense! ? uninstall the old one first. Run it with R held down. Uninstall then install & load 3.3
June 14, 2009 at 11:21 am
When I want to install the 3.3 (not 3.2, sorry) pops up an error. To all I have to start work CFW 1.0 and then 3.3 … why?
June 14, 2009 at 12:00 pm
What type of PSP? You need 5.03 official firmware and a psp-2000 TA-088v3+ or psp3000
June 14, 2009 at 11:01 am
I have installed CFWEnabler 2.10 already, how do I update to this 3.30 version. Will it brick if I just try to run this? I don’t have access to Wi-fi, so can anyone help out?
June 14, 2009 at 11:06 am
Uninstall the old one to be safe. Run it with R held down. Uninstall then install & load 3.3
June 14, 2009 at 11:21 am
Hi there, is there anybody here got this running on psp2007 or 3007 coz until now i can’t still load chickenR2, and of course im sure i’ve followed all these pretty damn instructions carefully…please help:-(…thanks!
June 14, 2009 at 6:35 pm
Try the ChickhenR2 mod, there’s a link in Kefles Guide. go to forums/userhelp/kefler complte guide.
June 14, 2009 at 11:26 am
Is there any chance that we can have pandora like tools so it’l be more to instal CFW with these new mobo version, lastly, what happens chichenR3 by the way? Any updates?
June 14, 2009 at 6:08 pm
I think that with the new mobos, Sony has somehow managed (to put it in simple words) cut the circuts that allowd use to dirrectly activate custum IPLs from ms0:\ the batteries can be issues a command code to do this. With all that we could then flash custumized IPLs, Firmware & new assigned signature codes, But on these new mobos, until they realy are sure they could do this, they wont bother making compatible IPLs. I mean, why even bother if there is no safe way to put all that in there without the slitest chance of not bricking the PSP.
We’re all hoping to be surprise with ChickheR3. Everyone is expecting for it to load on its own, and for it to Auto start CFWE, at least. Something like pretending to be an IPL.
June 14, 2009 at 11:35 am

June 14, 2009 at 6:15 pm
No. shutoff u’r psp, run the chickhenr2, then run CFWE. click uninstall. Re-enter cfwe and install. get pops.prx & popsman from 5.00 with psrdump & place them in pops folder in the cfwe folder. Refer to Kefler’s compltet guide for a full detailed instuctions.
June 14, 2009 at 12:47 pm
shud i unistall GEN ? pls help me
June 14, 2009 at 5:34 pm
yes u should unindtall GEN first by holding the R shoulder button when booting in the CFE menu and then select the uninstall option.CFE is better than GEN in some ways(like the no. of options in the config menu and also it has less bugs but GEN can load plugins better.

June 14, 2009 at 2:10 pm
How do i uninstal that
June 14, 2009 at 2:19 pm
Fully shutdown your psp to disable gen-a then power on your psp then run chickhen r2 first then on Chickhen r2 now put cfwe 3.30 on PSP/GAME/CFWEnabler then exit usb mode and run it and on cfwe menu you will see an unistall option choose it to unistall gen-a and after go back load cfwe again and flash it to install..thats the way i did it..be sure you are on chickhen r2 first before enabling any homebrew applications..=)

June 14, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Just run CFWenabler and there’s an uninstall option.. It will uninstall CFW flashed on your PSP whether GEN-A or CFWe..
June 14, 2009 at 2:19 pm
why on system settings i have version 5.03 m33-6!it should be 5.00 m33-6 right?
June 14, 2009 at 2:23 pm
nope 5.03 m33-6 should be displayed…=) its the right one if you are using this CFWE…
June 14, 2009 at 2:29 pm
Hey where is the uninstall i dont see it
June 14, 2009 at 2:36 pm
are you on CFWE? if you are then you wont see..i think it only shows when you fully shutdown your psp and boot chickhen r2 and the cfwe again…an uninstall option will appear..
June 14, 2009 at 2:44 pm
Can i play PSP games with this? (ISO, CSO)???? thnx in advance
June 14, 2009 at 6:19 pm
yes, and also PSX games
June 14, 2009 at 2:54 pm
I like this cfw better. I got this working on all of my psp’s (2001v2,2001v3,3004) with 100% working homebrew/iso/cso/pluggins
June 14, 2009 at 2:54 pm
and psx
June 14, 2009 at 4:31 pm
How do you play iso/cso with this fw i have set umd mode to m33 driver or sony np9660 but everytime i try to load iso/cso it says corrupted data
any clues?
June 14, 2009 at 6:21 pm
Make sure you made an “ISO” folder, and place them there.
June 14, 2009 at 6:22 pm
Sorry. On Root of MS
June 14, 2009 at 4:47 pm
just to be on the safe side..
If i’m running CFW Gen-A 5.03 on my PSP 3001, Can i change my Firmware to CFW Enabler 3.30? If Yes, How? and wouldn’t it affect my flash stuff inside the psp since the gen-a said something about flashing firmware into my PSP 3001? can someone explain clearly here? thank you. i guess this firmware’s much more efficient. it also has the option to enable WMA Playback.
June 14, 2009 at 6:23 pm
Yes you could do it. Follow Keflers guid into doing everything. There is a link on top.
June 14, 2009 at 6:39 pm
The link is on top of the 3.3o update announcement.
June 14, 2009 at 4:48 pm
wer shud i put the plugins?
June 14, 2009 at 5:44 pm

June 14, 2009 at 4:49 pm
Is this better than the GEN-A????
June 14, 2009 at 5:43 pm
u are such a noob
June 14, 2009 at 6:24 pm
Sure it is cause it wasn’t stolen.
June 14, 2009 at 4:54 pm
does this mean that when i completely off my psp and turn it on it would be a custom firmware or do i need to load it up each time?
June 14, 2009 at 6:29 pm
Recommendation: keep it on sleep.
One good thing is, that you don’t have to re-install CFWE. You just have to staert it.
June 14, 2009 at 5:17 pm
Hey,
I did everything according to the tutorial but when i go to flash it, it wont let me. It says error flashing like 5 times then kicks me out of the program. Any help here guys?
June 14, 2009 at 6:26 pm
Did you have gen-A a installed, and if so, did you uninstalled it?
June 14, 2009 at 5:31 pm
HELP! I wanted to play CSO or ISO games on my PSP3K. What do i need to do this? I already have Hen R2 and CFWE3.30. HELP HERE PLSSSSS
June 14, 2009 at 6:27 pm
Make an “ISO” folder at root, put them there. make sure that that UND iso mode is on M33 driver.
June 14, 2009 at 6:39 pm
I have already ISO folder and inside it is an .cso game.. System software is 5.03 m33-6.
hlp here plsss
but when i select the game it says “the game could not be started”
June 14, 2009 at 6:18 pm
does it work with chickhen mod?
June 14, 2009 at 6:28 pm
Yes it does.
June 14, 2009 at 6:42 pm
@JSTHIR2ASK, did you pressed select at the XMB and selected umd iso mode “m33 driver”?
If not, do that.
June 14, 2009 at 6:48 pm
Wow GEE! tnx man! its working now… have another question, what with theSonyNP9660? what thatand OE isofs?
June 14, 2009 at 6:50 pm
I’m sorry, didn’t realy catch that.
June 14, 2009 at 6:52 pm
@Joedakeys
at the UMD ISO MODE: there are some selection beside the M33 Driver. the SonyNP9660 and OE isofs what is this settinggs for??
June 14, 2009 at 6:58 pm
Gottcha. They are other drivers. You must switch them as needed. Right now you are using CFWE with the M33 modules build by Dark-AleX. That’s why to run iso and cso on you’re new 5.03 M33-6. M33 drivres must be in effect.
June 14, 2009 at 7:02 pm
AH I SEE! okay another question if you dont mind “noob here
” whats with tje USB DEVICE settings? hey if you know a site regarding about my question can you put it here so that im not disturbing you or something.. thnx really man!
June 14, 2009 at 7:09 pm
Be carefull with that, since that opens a back door to your device’s protected system folders. Any modification to thoes files will brick your device. Unless you know what your doing. This is the case for these new mobos, where there is no fixing them by superficially messing with them while the system is still off. You only could do that with older models. Read my reply on #9. Safe to use MS & UMD Disk.
June 14, 2009 at 7:23 pm
okay. my USB DEVICE: is set to Memory stick…. does this mean that i can only play games on my Stick? and i cant play with UMD disc?
June 14, 2009 at 8:06 pm
you’ll be able to go to umd at game and still start it even with the m33 driver. but if it don’t switch, unless it does it on it’s own. one thing though, before running ISOs make sure you have the m33 driver. ocationaly it has switch on some people.
June 14, 2009 at 7:14 pm
@JSTHIR2ASK, if you need to run psx games psx=ps1, or plugins refer to the best tutorial i’ve used, Keflers. Go to Forums/user help/Kefler’s conlpete guide. If ??? let me know!
June 14, 2009 at 7:28 pm
a month ago i went to put CFW on a friends PSP…that is when i learned about all this PSP 3000 crap.I felt bad cuz i couldnt help the dude…meanwhile im running DAs firmware for awhile.so this come as good news …now i can hook my buddy up…I got his PSP and im ready to follow the guide.2 questions before i start…while ive done stuff like this before…I’m sure not as versed as some of you guys…so i like to be extra careful.
first…..once the new CFW is running…after i run through this guide….will the CFW be able to be updated through the XMB like DAs…or is only available via PC?
Second….how stable is the new CFW so far overall?…to any who have done this…
any replies will be greatly appreciated
B
June 14, 2009 at 7:42 pm
CFW & CFWE are two different things, hope you know. What this mean is that your friend will be running this differently. His psp must be at OFW 5.03, so upgrade if you can but not through the psp. If higher than 5.03 forget it, it wont work. When you’re ready to do this you must first run chickhenR2 for a homebrew enviornment. Then install CFWEnabler. However, if you want the CFWE to stay you must keep the psp at sleep only. If you completely shut it down, you will have to run CHickhenR2 then start CFWE againg. No-reflash, just start it. For iso put cso/iso in a iso folder@root and put the umd iso mode on m33 driver. yes it is at most stable. Yes they will have somekind of network update system in place.
June 14, 2009 at 8:05 pm
so this is just an “enabler”….it allows CFW to be run kind of overriding the OFW?
and it doesn’t actually flash the PSP permanently with CFW?
thanks
B
June 14, 2009 at 7:59 pm
ok i bet im gonna get a lot of crap about this but here goes – is it safe to install CFE 3.30 directly over GEN-A without uninstalling? this is what i did but everyhing seems to work ok – i also deleted a folder called “files” from my Ms root – was this safe to do? i assume it was from GEN-A
June 14, 2009 at 8:14 pm
Hope U didn’t mess anything up that you haven’t notice.
June 14, 2009 at 8:08 pm
@JSTHIR2ASK, Sorry, I answered your question refering to something else. Yes, you’ll be able to run your UMDs @game UMD no matter if umd device is set to MS.
June 14, 2009 at 8:12 pm
@B, Ain’t that a little demon possessing your PSP. While the majority off people that are doing this want it permanantly, there are some who rather keep the integrity of the psp & still have these goodies.
June 14, 2009 at 8:13 pm
fake
June 14, 2009 at 8:18 pm
@everyone, CFWE & Gen-A are not bynaries. Don’t install one on top of the other for no contamination. Think of them as both being males.
June 15, 2009 at 2:52 am
LOL
June 14, 2009 at 8:38 pm
so this HB is just an “enabler”….it allows CFW to be run kind of overriding the OFW?
and it doesn’t actually flash the PSP permanently with CFW?
but will stay intact as long as the psp stays in sleepmode…otherwise i will have to repeat this guide ?
thanks
B
June 14, 2009 at 8:41 pm
It flashes some files that get incorporated with flash0 to have the full potential of a CFW. In the case that you shut off, you would have to run ChickhenR2 and just start CFWE “not-reflash files”. It is a simple process and worth the pain.
June 14, 2009 at 8:59 pm
Great Job, i didn’t need to make a pandora battery, games works great, fine and smooth, i had v3 mother board, no problem on install (just follow exactly the instructions) only had problem hombrewing my console but everything solved when i took off the umd i had on the deck and everything went on.
Thank you so much again.
June 14, 2009 at 9:06 pm
got it! thnx man
