Hellcats Recovery Flasher
Homebrew developer Hellcat has released an homebrew utility that can easily restore semi-bricked PSP units without the use of Pandora. Called Recovery Flasher it can be run from within the recovery menu on any PSP running CFW. Its also possible to install custom firmware 3.71 M33 using Recovery Flasher.
What is this? And why?
* Flashes a fresh 3.71-M33 - for recovering semi-bricks or to
up-/downgrade CFW
* does not use Pandora, runns from the recovery menu or the XMB
* does not use (as in launch) the original Sony Updater (only extracts
all required files from the original .PBP)
* runs fine on CFWs lower than 3.52-M33-3 - handy for upgrading older
FWs w/o the “need to go 3.52, then 3.52-3, then higher” odyssey
* runs fine from TimeMachine (3.40-OE on Fat and 3.60-M33 on Slim)
* can backup the FW flash and restore selected parts (XMB theme,
settings, PSN activation)

You need to access the recovery menu and “run program at psp/game/recovery/eboot.pbp” once everything is placed in the proper folders…btw you will need to download 3.71 OFW before you proceed also

HOW CAN I DOWNGRADE A PSP SLIM WITH 4.05 TO THE ORIGINAL 3.80 WITHOUT USING PANDORA’S BATERRY?
PLEAAASEE! HELP ME!

I WILL BE IN BIG TROUBLE IF I DONT DOWNGRADE MY PSP

Downgrading usually needs a pandora battery but theres a way out.
Nike-p released a version similar to the 4.05 m33 cfw called 4.05 tdp (google search it) The installation is within the rar file.
This procesure works if you want to downgrade from 4.05 to cfw and play .cso files.
