Since ChickHEN is out PSP-2000 owners with a TA88v2 or less or a TA90v1 motherboard now have the option to now install Custom Firmware without the need of a Pandora battery.We have put together a Easy installer that contains everything you’ll need. Hellcats Recovery flasher, ChickHEN, PSP firmware update 5.00.
Warning make sure you only try this on a PSP that will accept PSP Custom Firmware flashing (Custom IPL) otherwise you will brick your PSP!!! PSP-3000’s will not take CFW. Check your PSP will take CFW here. Or run ChickHEN first, then when ChickHEN is loaded run PSPident from the Game XMB menu. (PSPIdent with install with this easy installer)
Steps to install CFW on a PSP Slim without a Pandora battery.
1. Check and triple check you have a hackable PSP that will accept
custom firmware flashing without resulting in a BRICKED PSP. Make sure you have a PSP with a TA88v2 or below only + or TAv90v1. If your PSP has a TA88v3 or above or is a PSP-3000 DO NOT proceed!!! You will brick your PSP.
Run the installer and point it to your Memory stick Pro Duo root.
2. If you don’t have don’t have PSP firmware 5.03. Get that here: PSP Firmware 5.03 Make a folder called UPDATE in your PSP/GAME folder and place the eboot in there on your memory stick pro duo.
3. Now lets run ChickHEN to have a homebrew enabled environment. In your PSP go to photo then click the ChickHEN photo and wait. If the PSP jams, please retry. If it flashes colours and reboots you have loaded ChicKHEN. Check your system info to be sure it say’s 5.03 ChickHEN R2. If you need help getting ChickHEN to run please visit this post.
4. Now with your PSP rebooted in ChickHEN go to your PSP XMB game menu and run Hellcats Recovery and install 5.00 M33!!! Your PSP will reboot, follow the instuctions to install PSP Custom Firmware 5.00 M33. After your done you can update to 5.00 M33-6
Hackable PSP's (PSP's that will or won't take CFW)
Thanks to:
Davee for ChickHEN,
Dark_Alex for 5.00 M33
And Hellcat for his CFW installer!

I checked to make sure my psp could get cfw installed on it and it can according to Draik’s article “http://forums.pspslimhacks.com/user-help/121-psp-hackable-allow-me-answer.html”:
Daxter Limited Edition Pack, comes with 3.80 OFW & a TA-085v2 Motherboard.
I have that psp but when i started Hellcats Recovery it started and did all the checks and that but then when it said starting to install custom firm ware it said “error reading eboot.pbp”. It kept saying that and never changed so i thought i would turn it off, i held the power slide and nothing. So i yanked the battery… that worked but now my psp is bricked. What happened and i want to fix it. I know i can use pandoras battery and all that stuff but i dont want to have to pay for a new battery. Is there any way to un brick it.
PS: its fully bricked i cant hold down “R” and get the recovery cosole.
September 28, 2009 at 10:13 pm
mine did the same damn thing in the exact way you described it. if you get it fixed tell me how cuz i need to know asap

Hello,
I have a PSP-2004 TA88v3, i got chicken R2 loaded on OFW 5.03, and for the first time when i loaded CFWe 3.60 it worked just fine, but then later my battery ran out and i had to reload chicken, but now when i run CFWe 3.60, the PSP crashes after showing a blank screen and does not reboot. I have tried this a couple of times but without any luck it keeps on crashing. Can you pls tell me whats wrong and how can i fix this.
Looking forward to some help pleaseee…
October 23, 2009 at 2:35 pm
Try Downloading the CFWE 3.30 and use the Uninstall feature, after it says CFW successfully removed redownload CFWE 3.60 and install it.

in the custom firmware download section wen i went to download 5.00m33-6 there is another download link beneath it saying ”You also might need Official PSP Firmware 5.00 below” do i need it?
and can i install 5.00 m33-6 and get all the update included in m33-4,m33-3,m33-2
September 3, 2009 at 1:24 pm
You need to have 5.00 OFW installed on your PSP in order for chicken to work, once you have installed the CFW 5.00 m33 then you can go about updating it, by placing the updates in the psp/games/update folder.
September 30, 2009 at 10:29 pm
*sigh* listen chickhen works on 5.03. it glitches sometimes (wierd colours and then reboots)

totally wrong. download 5.03 ofw make the update folder update the psp to 5.03. enable chickhen by going into photos then go into the memory stick of games and youll see the recovery flasher(you have to put it in psp/game folder) open the game flash your firmware and then thats it. youve installed cfw

September 2, 2009 at 1:45 pm
If you have a PSP 2000 series, then dump the chikhen folder from the Slim folder of the Rar file into your PSP/Photo folder, be sure that you have 5.03 OFW loaded. Once done browse to you Photo/Chickhen folder in your PSP, initially your system will hang and shut down, switch on your PSP amd keep on trying, eventually it will get hacked, when the screen flickers and restarts your PSP it means that you have enabled chickhen, now you can install CFW or CFWe as per your choice. Hope this helps

Dude, if you have flashed CFW via hell cat recovery and your PSP is among the list of un-hackable PSPs (refer the chart above) then my friend i am really sorry to say but your PSP is Bricked!. Nothing can be done now, just try to reboot it and if by any miracle it starts then try installing a CFWe rather than the CFW. Because you cannot over rite the Firmware of un-hackable PSPs.
September 27, 2009 at 6:05 pm
Hi,
I have one of the very first PSP’s that came out on Hong Kong, fat one, my system software is currently “3.40 OE-A”, originally it was 1.something, i have been able to run my stuff on that, now i was trying this Chicken thing and i can’t even install the the 5.03 firmware to start the all thing so i must be doing something wrong… maybe a step too big? If i run PSPident… i read this:
—————————————————————-
Kernel version: 0×03040010
Error 0×8002013c loading/starting kpsident.prx.
Press X to exit
—————————————————————-
Any ideas? I’m trying to get myself into 5.55 firmware. Thanks!
September 28, 2009 at 8:54 am
Hey guys… I’ve got a quick question…
When you install the Easy ChickHEN CFW installer, does it come with the PSPident. and HC recovery programs?
