Custom Firmware 550 MHU

Xenogears and Becus25 have been busy, releasing their own 5.50 Custom firmware for the masses called Custom Firmware 5.50 MHU. While I’m not sure of the changes in this new CFW vs 5.50 GEN-A. If you have some free time why not give it a go and report the changes to us? Note this is for PSP-1000 and PSP-2000 models only with TA-088v2 or less motherboards. Don’t try this on a TA-088v3+ or PSP-3000 or you’ll brick your PSP.

How to install this:

Copy to the folder; UPDATE” in your Memory Stick in ” X: /PSP/GAME/” Download Official Firmware 5.50 and copy it to the UPDATE folder (” X: /PSP/GAME/UPDATE”) and rename it to ” SCE.PBP”

    this is off topic, but to all you stupid asses on this thread or any other that brag about your older psp being “hackable” and that the 3000 is a piece, screw you you are just jealous. i have a 3000 and with chickhen and cfe and can do everything you can do. it just looks better on my psp, thats all.

    and the days of trying over and over again to get chick hen to boot have been gone since the release of cfe 3.50. so dont even bring that up.

    • peppedaman

      amen

  • lpm888

    might there be a thingy where this will work with 5.51?

  • Ptown

    Hi everyone,

    I need some serious help. First off, I have a PSP 3001. Now, stupid me, I updated, and now I am at version 5.51. From what I read, I can’t/shouldn’t load anything since ChickHEN and what not only work on 5.03. I don’t know how to find out what motherboad I have either.

    Is there a way to downgrade my psp version? Is my psp hackable? I would like to be able to play ISO’s. That would be my main reason for doing this… Can I check my motherboard version?

    I am sorry if I am a noob. Any help would be extremely appreciated.

    Thanks

    • kenpachiroks

      dude…… u have officially screwed up….
      no…you cannot downgrade……yet
      your psp ‘was’ partially hackable….thru 5.03GEN and CFWE
      Ur motherboard is the TA090v3/v2
      in the future, make sure to run it by some experienced person, we are all ready to help……

      • blur

        ver.5.51 is unable to load ChickHEN
        how is it gonna read 5.03 GEN or CFWE?

      • kefler

        kenpachiroks meant, the PSP 3000′s could only use 5.03 GEN-A and CFWEnabler and required ofw 5.03 to do so. Now that he’s updated to 5.51, he’s kind of stuck for now since there are no working cfwe’s for 5.51

      • Ptown

        I know I have screwed up. I had gotten a PSP and then found out about this site. By then it was to late.

        How did you find out that my motherboard is a TA090v3/v2??

      • vin

        it is TA-90v2, not v3

      • Ptown

        Kefler, yeah, I just wanted to make sure there was nothing I was missing. I know I will have to wait until the new code comes out. Then my problems will be solved…. Thanks everyone for your help!

      • spidykiddo

        hay mine is ta88v3 with 5.50 ofw can it be hack?

    • vin

      just wait for MOHH Exploit to have a hen, all will be fine.
      !!!For MOHH Exploit to work, you must have the game!!!

    • Alexander

      NO!It’s not possible to downgrade psp 3k’s and psp 2000 with v3 motherboard. They r only partially hackable and that too below 5.03. anything above 5.03 cannot be hacked

  • PSPEBOOTHOOT

    PTown all 3OOO PSP’s are TA-0090v2/v3 i think

    • Ptown

      Oh really? I didnt know that. I searched it and didn’t find out anything. But I’ll trust your guy’s word. Thanks!

      • PSPEBOOTHOOT

        actually I got it wrong. TA-008V3 is the unhackable PSP 2000′s. TA-0090V2 is the PSP 3000 Mobo.

  • the_joker

    y dosent the cfw 5.00MHU wanna install i hav 2000 psp

  • novacane

    i have 5.00 m33-6 how do i install this or should i bother ??

  • varxtis

    I just upgraded using 5.50 MHU, and it seems to work perfectly fine. I’m not too literate about all the technical aspects, but I figured out that I had to switch to M33 Driver as opposed to Sony NP9660. Never really knew why I had to use the options I did, it just worked lol. But the M33 Driver seems to work just as well and I have great communication with my PS3 (remote play and playing purchased games from Playstation network) My only question is: Does anyone know what version CXMB themes will work with this version of CFW. Not a huge priority, but I’m kind of partial to having the Organ Concept Theme that I had for 4.01 M33.

    • varxtis

      Uh, I might have spoke too soon. When navigating to XMB:\Videos\Memory Stick, the PSP Freezes.

  • shanicred

    how do i figure out my psp motherboard will using chickhenr2 work on any motherboard to use psp ident

  • RivasJonathan775

    O man, u can’t update on PSP-3000 & I update 5.51. :(

  • FIREMAN_FIRE8

    i have tried to install on psp 3006 it is the later versions of 3000 so i tried and found that it says u have already 5.50 so there is no need to update no bricking and nothing man

  • alphakid11

    does this work if u have 5.51 n do have cfw or homebrew, srry for the very noobish question

    • RivasJonathan775

      so u have 5.51 (me 2) u can’t update 5.50 cfw, u need small version to update. :(

  • tgun

    Hey guys, quick question: I tried to update and it tells me that the battery needs to be at least 78% charged. I tried it at 100% charged with and without external power and I still get the message. I’m on a 2001 with fw 3.71 M33-2.

    Thanks!

    • alphakid11

      try using your pandora battery just load up the update and put in your pbatt

      • tgun

        Thanks. I think I need a new one of those.

    • Ram_attack

      the reason is because you need to have it charged above 78%. 100% is fine, but also leave the ac adapter plugged in, just in case, as any fault or battery coming out during updating could freeze/ brick your psp.

  • Cobrax11

    I had custom firmware for my old psp slim but i accidently updated to offical firmware 5.51 is there a way i can downgrade it or do i have to wait for a new program to change it back to custom firmware.

    • alphakid11

      you can with a pandora battery and a magic memory stick

  • Cobrax11

    Or can i just wait since sony trying to block the upcoming games unless updated with ofw or a new ctf.Like final fantasy dissidia

  • new psp owner

    hey, i am currently running a 5.03 mh33-6 with a 3.50 cfw enabler on psp 3001. is it recommended to upgrade it to 5.50 gen-a due to the fact i wanted to play soulcalibur : broken destiny and i’ve checked the specs it runs on 5.50 gen-b. so yeah any advices??

    • microberry1

      DONT UPDATE!!! 5.50gen-a and gen-b are only for the fully hackable psps (1000 and 2000 but not TAO88v3 mobo). So YOU WILL END UP LOSING CFWEnabler, which you do not want.

  • Dee

    Hey guys,
    I too am a newbie when its comes to the psp. I have the purple( husband bought it for me) 3001 psp. It came with firmware 5.50. My serial number is AT4 and a bunch of numbers. Do you think its hackable? I was wondering what a pandora battery would do if its not hackable? I just want to play Iso games I have mastered putting movies on it. Thanks

    • Lorrainevp

      Where you find the serial nmber!!!!!!! i’ve been looking 4 it and can’t found it

  • fly1ng r4bbit

    I have a TA-088v3 motherboard but do i have to wait now until they release it for these motherboards or what?

  • Ram_attack

    Please for the love of the psp gods, there are forums for this stuff! and yes the psp 3000 is hackable, its just a b**ch to do it. There are how to’s and guides too. Most of the stuff on here is off topic.
