Dark_AleX has released an update to “Despertar del Cementerio”. The universal PSP unbricker for both PSP Slim and fat units. Despertar del Cementerio will now install 3.80 M33-5 directly on your PSP.

Changes in version 4

* Installer now checks if user has a custom theme installed, and ask him to disable it before running the program.
* the PSN DRM file in flash2 (act.dat) is now backuped during ms creation and restored in the unbrick.
* flash2 is now formatted too.
* Now installs 3.80 M33-5 instead of 3.71 M33-3.

    Is updating from v3 complicated or simply a matter of replacing files on the memory stick?

    I already have the unbricker that upgrades all the way to 3.71 M33 (or maybe m33-2)… can I just switch the 3.71 file for the 3.80 or do I have to do the entire thing?

    Anyone who is struggling to unbrick their PSP phat should use this program. I struggled for ages trying to make the magic memory stick and then then the Pandora battery but it just wouldn’t work.

    I already had a PSP running custom firmware to do the unbricking on my other PSP but even so, there are so many forums and videos showing you how to unbrick your PSP but not a great deal of them work or at least I couldn’t get them to work. Now don’t get me wrong I am no nooby with consoles or computers but lets face it, if you have never had to unbrick a PSP before you have to start from scratch.

    Anyway just download the Ultra Pandora V4.1c easy installer to your computer and unpack it to a directory of your choice. The desktop is your best bet.. Take that folder which should have the MSIPN.bin file and the other files and simply drop the whole folder into PSP/GAME on your working PSP. Make sure these are all present in the download and then just keep them altogether in a file.

    Make sure you have a 512meg or 2meg memory stick although I think a 4gb one will work as well but to be on the safe side use one of the first two mentioned. Insert an original Sony PSP battery, dont worry as you can normalise it later.

    Next unplug the PSP and navigate to the memory card. Run the Ultra Pandora app and then navigate to FORMAT MEMORY STICK. The MS will then be formatted and repartitioned ready for use.

    Next plug in the working PSP again and install the same folder UPV4 with all its files into PSP/GAME again. Now this time you will not have the folders set up already so you will have to make a folder called PSP and then GAME and drop the GAME folder into the PSP folder.

    Now you have to download the official 4.01 firmware for this to work. Download it and place it an UPDATE FOLDER IN PSP/GAME but make sure you rename it 401.PBP first.

    Run the Ultra Pandora from the PSP and go to the DDC menu. Click on the one that is second from the bottom which will intall the 4.01 cfw (I think it is second from the bottom).

    Press Cross to begin installation” Press X to begin. When all is done, it will say “Done, autoshutdown in 7 seconds.

    Launch UPIv4c again and enter the IPL menu this time. Choose “Install MsipL.bin”. Wait until it’s filled out the blue bar and it shall return to the main menu of upiv4c. Go back to IPL menu and choose the option “conver msipL.bin in IPL TM format”, when the bar is filled, it will return to the main menu of upiv4c.9. Enter IPL menu and choose the option “install time machine boot”. The screen will go black and you’ll see the memorystick LED blinking. When it’s done, it will return to the main menu of upiv4c.[At this point, the memory stick is magic]To create the Pandora’s battery (softmod, of course, so much safer)a) Enter “Battery Options”b) Choose “Make battery pandora”c) Wait until the blue bar is filled and it will return to the main menu.

    Take the battery and the MS out of the working PSP and put them in the bricked PSP. Keep the left shoulder button down as you turn on the PSP and you should see a menu. Install the top option or the 2nd one if you want to install official firmware (but why would you) and your PSP will be back in the land of the living in no time.

    TO MAKE THE BATTERY NORMAL:a) Enter Ultrapandora installer v4c from the game menu.b) Enter “Battery options”c) Choose: Make Battery Normald) you’re done!NOW KEEP THE MEMORY STICK WITH ALL THE FILES ON OR COPY THE CONTENTS TO A FOLDER SO THAT YOU WILL KNOW WHAT TO DO THE NEXT TIME YOU GO AND BRICK YOUR PSP. COPY THIS GUIDE ALSO INTO YOUR FOLDER.
