Datel PSP-3000 Tool battery a scam?

PSP-3000 Pandora by Datel

Pandora by Datel

The new blue service battery by Datel has been tried on the PSP-3000. So it puts the PSP-3000 into service mode. But results in just a flashing light and dead black screen. So its not REALLY a hack by Datel to allow users to flash custom firmware if that’s what you were thinking. It still needs to be bypassed or needs someone to hack the pre-IPL hash process.

From Sceners:

…it’s confirmed that this over exalted battery will leave 3k at least like the 88v3, just with a flashing light, a black screen and nothing but that LED indicator, as we announced.

…

Now onto the 88v3 IPL. You might remember this post from where part of the signing (there were 2 functions missing) was hacked from Brokencodes; so being as partial as it is, it would be interesting now to say, after reading about it on all the PSP-related webpages, that is NOT conclusive or definitely, so please, be aware that a “hack” for this couple of mobos might need further and longer study.

More about the false PSP-3000 Datel battery can be found over at sceners.

    woot first poast
    -why anyone would think they could beat DA to the psp-3000 CFW punch is beyond me. good luck DA looking foward to when you pawn the psp-3000.

  • cjeee

    hmmm, hopefully dax would be able to hack it cause i realy need my friends psp hacked so that he will pay me muahahahahah, lol

  • naruto

    Actually, I dont think Dax is going to hack the 3000. Brokencodes is.

  • http://megadeus.com admiral

    i dont see why it matters, i have hopes Dax, is actually taking time to himself, and not spending every moment trying to hack everything from PSP, hes the best hands down, he deserves his own free time, and above all why does the 3k need hacks, the screen makes it useless

    The microphone already gives us plenty of options/ideas for homebrew.

  • Twitt

    i cant wait I hope they can get past that screen

  • naruto

    @FR350Z: You can hardmod a microphone into a Fat/Slim PSP.

    @Twit: They won’t. Apparently it’s a feature. =S

  • CoryGrover

    I actually like the new screen better…

  • http://www.balonbay.com FR350Z

    @naruto: But for those people who don’t know/don’t want to hardmod, it’s a bit more convenient.

  • naruto

    @FR350Z: Yeah I know. But, either way, both would go great.

  • http://shhdb.com Eric

    Uh, the PSP has the skype attachment, which I wouldn’t doubt uses the same tech (would require no additional programming) to use.

    Further, I believe I read somewhere (maybe here?) that you can deactivate the enhanced screen effect.

  • naruto

    @Eric: Don’t forget the prettyful screen. The thing your talking about, people claimed to hack (which they didn’t) it with a 2000 CPU. All they did was just switch cases and use remotejoy.

    Hello to all :)

    Please excuse me for this newbie’s question but I think do nothing bad:
    I just bought a “PSP Black Piano Edition” (Serie 2000, with FW 4.01 originally* integrated) 1 month ago, and I think* it unfortunately contains a TA088v3 motherboard but I’m not sure.

    Is it necessary for me, to buy a Datel PSP Slim Battery Tool (and make a Magic MS) to try to hack my new psp, please ?
    (Or I should just wait the new way to hack TA088-v3 Motherboard ?..)

    Thank you in advance for your answers ! :)

    cooljojo.

    Just to let everyone know, there are some reports that the Datel Lite Blue BAttery is not going to be released until Janurary. Can anyone back me up with details??

  • s3

    I want to buy the psp3k as a present for my bf but I’d rather if it was cracked.
    So I’m wondering if I should buy the datel lite blue tool-in most sites & forums I searched it said that the dlbt will only put psp on Service Mode. Any updates on the preIPL/MMS stuff?
    Would the DLBT be enough?

  • http://nano3glinux.blogspot.com n00b81

    Hey s3:

    The Datel battery is supposed to “hack your psp 3000 into service mode and let you install custom firmware on it”. Well, this isn’t the case, for now anyways. The “Lite Blue Tool” that was supposed to be shipping to people the first week of December, has been delayed to be released in Janurary. One of my friends pre-ordered the battery November 28th, and have still not gotten it yet, so even if it did do what it said it did, I would not order it unless you plan on getting it somewhere in 2009.

    I would suggest buying your bf a psp 2000. Most are hackable, except for the psp 2000s that are shipped with the TA-088v3 motherboards. For example, if you buy a limited time Madden Football PSP package(blue psp) chances are you are going to get an un-hackable 2000. Your best bet is to buy a PSP “piano black” edition. Heres a picture of the package: http://www.slipperybrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/sony-psp-2000-console-preorder.jpg

    There are still a number of hackable psp 2000s out there, so buy them before they are all sold out!

    P.S – If you buy a psp 2000, you will still want to buy a Pandora battery to hack it. I hope this helps.

    Cheers!

    NO!

    The Datel Lite Blue is not a scam. It does what it says it does. It puts the psp into service mode. That’s all a jigkick battery can do. It needs a compatible ipl to inject. It’s not a scam.

  • jacota

    i keep reading about you talking about the psp light pandora battery for the psp 3000 version were exactly can you get the new psp light pandora battery

  • jacota

    if datel already made a new battery for the psp 3000 and it does not matter if you updated your psp you can still put custom firmware on it i got virsion 5.02 on my psp 3000 but i am still wating for the new battery i ever said it was already released it is sepost to be released some tim in january but remember you still need to get the magic memory stick to downlaod your saved files you downlaoded online i am realy being inpationt about the new battery comming

  • jacota

    so will someone please tell me when the new psp light datel battery is going to come out please

  • n00b81

    @jacota

    let me know if you get this:

    The “lite blue tool” will be released on January 16th. Although it won’t do all that it said it will. They totally changed the product details!

    read this: http://us.codejunkies.com/Products/PSP-Lite-Blue-TOOL__EF000726.aspx

    and this: http://sceners.org/?itemid=174

    Hope this helps!

  • jacota

    then what will it do then i mean if it does not do the thing that it sais it does then what does it do?

  • jacota

    i read what you said on sceners.org well how do you know for sure that the psp light pandora battery will not work no body has ever tried it before exept datel and all the things they know are classified so just tell me what exactly does the new battery do

  • http://www.ewz-clan.com biohazard ewz

    datel probably released this knowing it wont work. they probably expected hackers like dark to use it and make software for it that will work with it.

  • jacota

    you probably mean dark alex and it will probably work you dont know nobodoy knows exept for datel who knows it will probably work so i guess we just have to wate untill january 16 to find out if it really works

  • n00b81

    @jacota

    I am 99% sure it won’t work on a psp 3000.

    Datel even said it, and the reason I know is because(if you look closely on the product page) It says “use this battery to put psp 2000 into service mode, OR use it as a REGULAR battery for a psp 3000)

    So that’s why I think it won’t work. Take a look at that page again.

  • jacota

    you know i think your right i shouldnt of got the psp 3000 i thought it was cool because i just came out but i will order it online and try it on january 16 and i will tell you if it works or not but keep me notified if you hear anything

  • jacota

    and i looked on the box it never said that or you can just use the battery for a normal battery psp it said it enables you to put psp slim/light into service mode

  • Aaamun007

    it wouldn’t have happened that quickly quickly, i mean the ps3 has not been chipped yet so how can the psp – 3000 because Sony said that it was made to be unhackable, and it is for now anyway, but if there is a way then Sony will force them not to release it to the press like they’ve done to Datel. but i give my bravo to the person who has chiped the PSP – 3000 and please start on the PS3.

  • jacota

    ok its january 16 and i found some websites that had the new battery but all of them are really expencive can anyone tell me were i can find a cheap psp 3000 tool battery

  • jacota

    hellow anyone going to answer me

  • jacota

    hhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllooooooooooooooo

  • J-Bob

    Well, they might have scammed people by telling them it will hack their psps. As long as it puts a PSP into service mode, than that’s what we should think about.

    We should try to see if we can get the key used to put a psp-3000 into service mode, and upload files such as hex dumps to the internet. Possibly with any data obtainable off a lite blue tool.

    Than we should see if we could recreate this.

    Than once a custom firmware can be installed using the currently secret kernel mode exploit, we should try to build a magic memory stick which could install it in a way like how the kernel mode exploit might be able to.

    Than we need to get the internal lcd monitor working with a cfw.

    It seems like a good idea. But than again, likely to be somewhat obvious.

    So, About A Month On,
    Has Anything Been Achieved?

    Pre-IPL Has Been Hacked Yet?

    Maybe Thinking I Should Have Bought A Psp-2000 Instead… Should I Think This?

  • kazuya 420

    still..

    there are no achievements on psp3000..

    maybe next year, the psp3000 will be hacked..

    or maybe it will be released this year..

    maybe after 4months of carefully preparation..

    so that sony..

    will not prevent it..

    \m/ peace..

    out..

    so could this (re)install 5.03/5.02 official firmware on a psp…I think i simibricked my 5.03 psp 3001:(
    and a question about psp updates in general – if you were to “upgrade” the firmware in a normal method, does it completley rewrite flash 0, 1, and 2?
