I found my PSP’s motherboard while back then, it’s TA-O88 V2 through PSPIdent. Yet, I got into another problem. I followed correctly the directions for installing cfw using cfwenabler on running ofw 5.03. Big thing, it (the firmware version) makes the graphics of my downloaded games so slow, I’m not enjoying them. Ex of dl-games I have is SIMS2: CASTAWAYS && GTA: San Andreas. Can you help me to downgrade again my PSP to ofw&cfw 3.95-M33 without the pandora battery and the magic memory stick? Much gratitude to all of you. God Bless!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I just wish someone would make a sedna compatability plugin for cfwenabler 3.70 or 5.03 MHU.
It is so annoying trying to load everything after I ran out of battery and accidentally hit the shutdown option at the vsh menu because im used to gen-b. Geeez!
Blue_Lightning

THANK GOD FOR THIS cuzz i cant stand the gen CFWEnabler
papison

CFWEnabler 3.70 has a better recovery menu than gen because gen’s recovery menu is MESSED UP pretty Bad.Although CFWEnabler 3.70 needs gamedecrypter by yoshihiro and UMDGEN to play newer games it is worth it. I still hope there is a sedna compatability plugin for MHU.Good luck to someone who will make the plugin.MHU is improving thanks.

Hello to everyone here at psp slim hacks.

I would like to thank Becus25 and Xenogears for their great work on cfw 3.70.

I haven’t read any guidelines on the pspslimhacks forums regarding the bricking of a psp .Please don’t get me wrong i haven’t bricked my psp 2000 ta-088v3 as i am currently using cfw 3.60.

My worst fear right now is that i ‘don’t have any idea on what might brick my psp.Most of them here,have only said that i were’nt a moron and followed the given intruction properly ,i couldn’t possibly brick my psp.

DO ANY OF YOU REALLY THINK SO???

I have heard a lot of people HERE,getting their psp bricked installing 5.50 gen -d.ALSO,what’s happens if install CFW ENABLER 3.60 when the battery has nearly run out. I get this creepy message saying i might brick my psp,even though some people here have said IT ISNT A PROBLEM EVEN IF THE BATTERY IS LOW.

PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF THE PSP ,PROVIDE GUIDELINES ON WHAT CAN AND CANNOT BRICK A PSP 2000 TA-088 V3 OR 3000.

BlueBomberX

Don’t be too freaked out by it man, and it’s true what they say “IF YOU DONT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PRECISELY YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PSP” Believe me I was the same way and I have a PSP 3001 and I have more of a chance of bricking my PSP than any older model. So don’t trip man, just keep doin what your doin and you will be fine.

pspuser503

as i have mentioned in the above post ,i meant to seek information from anyone here regarding what can and cannot brick a psp 2000 ta-088v3 or 3000 if i install any of the cfw here at psp slim hacks.
gemakboy

plzz do something for psp3000 ver 5.50 thank u
jehhfail

Aw… Why my System Info get 5.00 M33 O.O..
jehhfail

clarity01

Oh my I’m hoping these guys make a version for 6.20, “”PLEASE “” sony really came hard on us with this 6.20… I have a psp slim with ofw 6.20
yuva_7227

hello guys, i am new for psp , i brougt the psp 3004 with ofw 5.70. i heard to hack the psp need the ofw 5.03 but i have the 5.70 how to downgrade the 5.70 to 5.03 plz help me.

BlueBomberX

Well you cannot downgrade any new model, because sony figured out how to cut off service mode using a pandora battery, but you can downgrade any older model because sony didnt cut off service mode on the older models. So you are gonna have to wait until someone comes out with CFW 5.70.

VVARG0D

a noob question: can i put a cfw 5.50 gen d3 on a ofw 5.50??? the psp is 2000
abirsharda

to yuva_7227 -> Dude, sorry to say but there is no downgrade for 5.70 to any lower fw for psp 3004.

to VVARG0D -> Buy a pandora battery and follow the instructions on this site on how to install cfw…….

CFW Enabler 3.70 wont load my “categorized” emulators like :

- CPS1PSP 2.3.1 for PSP slim
- CPS2PSP 2.3.1 for PSP slim
- MVSPSP 2.3.1 for PSP slim
- MasterBoy v2.10
- NesterJ

Error : “The game could not be started”

I’m using Game Categories v12 to organize my emulators, games etc…
The emulators must be “Uncategorized” or must reside in MS0:/PSP/GAME folder in order to be played…
But in CFW Enabler 3.60, everything works fine (categorized emulators can be played)..
Could anyone please help me how to successfully load my “categorized” emulators in CFW Enabler 3.70?

Thanks!

papison

sorry Settings

papison

Duh?

DarkOne

OK, i have some doubts,

when i run flash and start , it says you need to install a CFW in flash. am i suppose to have anything on my MS, so it will flash it. will this brick my psp 3k or what will it do???

papison

Dude its just the same as gen flashing it on the ram does not brick promise.

papison

if you already have gen just uninstall using CFWenabler 3.70
dont flash two CFWs at the same time or major CFW mixed up.ok

Custom Firmware 5.03 GEN-C Vs Custom Firmware Enabler 3.70

DarkOne

5.03 gen-c all the way.

i did load CFE, and its slower and some times real slow on game play/gametime
BlueBomberX

I feel that 5.03 GEN-C is better than CFW 3.70 because if I cant play my emulators then it’s not worth it.

BlueBomberX

Well I was wrong about not being able to play my emulators, i can play all of my emulators, including the newest MGS Peace Walker…..so awesome.

deFATpanda

this screwed up my ultimate vsh menu

papison

Ultimate VSH Menu only works on gen but why do you need ultimate vsh menu when you can access the recovery fast by run cfwenabler 3.70 again after loading cfwenabler.

papison

sorry “running cfwenabler 3.70 again after loading cfwenabler”

MasterJB

Hey does any one knows why now that I installed this, my games are not running, they use to work under the CFWE 3.6, how can I unistall this one, and go back to the last version?, my PSP its a 3001 OFW 5.03, with Chiken R2

papison

What games do you have on that is not running?
Did you check your vsh menu by pressing select on your xmb?
your settings should be as follows:
CPU CLOCK XMB efault
CPU CLOCK GAME efault
UMD ISO MODE :SONY NP9660
IF you really want to uninstall just reply back
ok

papison

the smileys are actually D as in Default
sorry

MasterJB

Thanks for your reply
I actually checked all the settings on the XMB menu, and everything its the same as I use to play with the ChikHen R2, with Custom Firmware Enable 3.6, and Custom Firmware 5.03 Gen C, after I upgrade the CFE 3.70 I could not play anymore Tekken 6, Avatar, or any of the latest games that I could play with the previous version 3.60, so I really want to unistall it, and leave everythig as it was

My current settings are:

CPU Clok : Default
UMD ISO Mode: M33 driver

let me know how can I remove any evidence fro the custom firmware enabler version 3.70, so I can start all over again with last version
thanks.

papison

No worries to play tekken 6 and avatar you need to patch it up or decrypt it with yoshihiro’s game decrypter or just google the patch of that game. To uninstall turn your psp to fully off
and load chickhen r2 then running the CFWenabler 3.70 while Holding the R button down
and when it loads just choose uninstall that’s it.
if some thing goes wrong let me know
Remember don’t flash different CFW at the same time or major screwed
ok

MasterJB

Thanks I follow your advice, but in case some one else need it, I used the CFE 3.20 pressing the L at start up and unistall the enabler, then using the L again with the CFW 5.03 C I unistall and recover the version.txt
after this I removed the battery to let the flash reset

Running ChikenHen, again and reinstall only the CFW 5.03 C, after all it finally work, I still have not been capable to run Avatar, but Tekken 6 and the rest of the games are running excellent.

Thanks paison for your advice they guide me to the right answer.

coco351gt

Hi guys could some one tell me why i cant play fifa 10 on cfw 3.70

thankyou
MasterJB

It´s seems you had the same issue I had, when you carefully read the readme file on the installation package, it said that this version requiers you use the Yos…. decripter for the games, to me its just rebuild my colection of iso´s too much waste of time, it states there will be a fix later after new games have made profit, hope they do fix it, anyway I recomend you downgrade to Custom Firmware 3.60 if you wish to play your games , I did and work fine hope this work for you .

coco351gt

thankyou

coco351gt

Does any body know how to uninstall cfw and put gen-c back on.I tryed put gen on but cfw just runs on top of it and then i have cfw agein.

thankyou
MasterJB

Well what I did was this
1 You must have ChikHEN running with the Customfirware 3.70
2 Download CFW 5.03Gen C or B you choose
3 Start the installation of Gen C or B pressing the L trigger of your PSP, it will bring to recovery installation menu
4 Choose to Unistall the CFW Gen, it will restart
5 Run the installation on recovery and choose to recover version.txt file (This will bring your PSP to the OFW 5.03
6 Restart your PSP all over
and run ChikHEN
7 Now you should be with the Hen 5.03 R2 running, and only need to install the CFW 5.03 Gen C or B I recommend the Gen C so you can play your latest games without issues

Hope this help you, it took me about 30 min to really clean all clue from CFWE 3.70 but it was worth

coco351gt

thanks alot every thing worked fine

papison

I’m just curious if Gen-C is final aren’t they gonna fix the recovery menu?
I’m just gonna stick to cfwenabler 3.70 for now.
Though all of my games are working.
jeetest

plzzzzzz…make cfw 6.00 or higher i m waiting from a long time……..DD

papison

Dude seriously ChickHEN and MHUspeedV3 are both using the tiff exploit for you to be able to write CFWs to your psp ram but sadly higher psp firmwares beyond 5.03 can’t use the exploit .Therefore u can’t install CFWs.I’m afraid you have to wait until hackers figure out how to pass through high security of the motherboard by tricking its an update to a higher firmware version.

OR u could fund them to work on it.

yo i used to use cfwenabler 3.60. it worked out fine on my psp2000 TA-88v3 but i couldn’t play any of the new games. so i downloaded this cfwenabler 3.70 but it still wont play the new games. i changed the version to 6.20 in the settings but still it wont work. any help please?
papison

leaving cfwenabler 3.70 going to gen-c!
btw i know how to make the sedna plugin to work on gen-c
What I did was installed gen-b then installed the sedna plugin then cxmb plugin and downloaded a theme preferred (Large Original Icons Wave Mixed.ctf) that has the reboot feature then installed gen-c note: (your system software should be 5.03 gen-b full when installing gen-c) this way sedna will work for 5.03 gen-c full.
then reboot using the themes feature and see what happens(the reboot feature is located at the top of the usb toggle option. I might upload a video to youtube showing you that it works.

adding when you press select with the cxmb theme on, go to the recovery menu it says (m33 recovery menu) and it some how fixed the bug that confuses us inside the recovery menu.

wait for the link of the video.

Before That, Thanks For the CFW 3.70
I Own Psp v300x and have Question:
When I start CFWenabler 3.70. In the Menu, It Says My Model Is Psp 2000
Is It Bugs?
Yuzhy

Not bad, I like the Recovery Menu from CFW Enabler much better . But Categories v12 doesn’t work properly with it… I’ve had to delete categories for now and all my files are mixed together again… =(

papison

I forgot use context menu option for game categoriesv12
note: (turn off cxmb first then select Context Menu from your system settings)

papison

then turn cxmb on afterwards

roque08

Hey, i used chickhenr2 and didn’t used the cfw enabler. instead i used hellcats recovery flash. i update it to 5.00 then updated it to 5.50 gen d3. will this break my psp.
(PSP 2000)

papison

Depends on the mobo of the psp 2000 if it’s ta-088v3 your fucked if it’s ta-090v1 or Below ta-088v3 its ok.
use pspident v0.4 to know your mobo.

BlueBomberX

I am reading alot of negative feedback from many users who are trying to use CFW 3.70. I think its a huge hassle to get it working properly. Honestly, if you have 5.03 GEN A/B/C i say keep it the way it is because it’s just not worth you not being able to play any emulators as well as PS1 and PSP Games. I have a PSP-3000 and I have 5.03 Gen C and its running Sedna as well and I can play all NEW and previously releases PSP games, including all emulators MVSPSP,CPS1&2,NesterJ,Super Nintendo,Sega Genesis and GBA and Any Homebrew games that are out there now. Really it’s not worth it, I feel like I have the holy grail of games in my hands and Im not gonna risk bricking my PSP due to this. I swear I am NOT DISSING anyone all I am saying is if you can play everything with the current CFW that you have then you have nothing to worry about.

papison

I agree with BlueBomberX.
Everybody switch to 5.03 GEN-C (Full) with sedna working.
Abandon CFWEnabler v3.70!

BlueBomberX

Hey papison, gotta a question for you. i am not sure if you have experienced this yet and this just recently just happened to my PSP 3001. I ran Gen-C Full and for some reason the system Lags and the screen shakes. I mean everything works fine I can still load all my games, but the only thing is it lags so bad to load any games that I have to wait at least 2 minutes to load. Do you think there might be something wrong with the PSP or is it something else?

wonderjosh

I’m literally about a half hour new to psp hacking. So I’m curious, and I’m sure this question has been asked a million times, but I’ve found no definite answer… If I download 5.03 from the link on this page, will that downgrade my firmware so I can use the cfw?

wonderjosh

Sorry for double posting, but I figure I should mention it’s a 3000.

Guech

Sorry for my late comment.. well here is my deal.. i have a psp 3002 and accidentally like 1 month ago I did install the update of 5.50 FW but.. somehow I have try to downgrade the version or simply try to find a way to hack this crap.. hehehe
Can anyone be so kind to tell me what I should do? I have plenty ISOs in the memory stick but.. I dont know what to do!! *Click!* *Bang!!!*.. Arghhh..
