Custom Firmware 3.03 OE-C Released

greg | January 25, 2007

Today Dark_AleX has released custom firmware 3.03 Open Edition Revision C! Due to substantial changes in the bootstrap, you’ll be required to perform a full installation in order to get this fresh new firmware flashed & running:

- Copy oeupdmaker and oeupdmaker% to /PSP/GAME if you are in 1.50, or to /PSP/GAME150 if you are in
2.71 SE, 3.02 OE or 3.03 OE. Copy also the 1.50 and 3.03 updaters with the names 150.PBP and 303.PBP.

- Execute the update maker. It will generate the dxar file.

Checksums of the generated file:

CRC32: 27A38F3A
MD5: 95C84F1F20643FB29E5F7DFFF6D04291
SHA1: E4CE6EB16F90F0F667071085416C10B0BEA7CC22
SHA256: 1C72C1BE3C7E03E56F127AF365B
8AA0B6C8C7A70BFF30E2770C222E28D1CBBFE

- Copy 303oeflasher and 303oeflasher% to /PSP/GAME (1.50) or to /PSP/GAME150 (2.71 SE, 3.0X OE).
Copy also the dxar file inside 303oeflasher.

- Execute the flasher and follow the instructions.

What’s changed in OE-C (including Popstation changes):

  • AVC videos bitrate limit patched. The firmware limited the bitrate of avc videos to only 768 Kbps. OE now forces the limit to be 16384 Kbps. (Note: this doesn’t mean than the psp can handle such a high bitrate; this means than they won’t show error. I don’t know which is the real maximum bitrate than the psp can handle at full speed).
  • Speed of OE boot is now ~3 seconds faster than previous versions. (without plugins).
  • Cpu speed of XMB can now be changed.
  • Wifi can now work at 333 Mhz.
  • Added access to flashes 0 and 1 via usb in the recovery menu, based on the great idea of USBSSS by Booster. Note that writing is enabled, so this is intended only for advanced users that know what they are doing in each moment. (It is not a great idea to change anything from the kd folder). Because of this addition, the rest of flashing options were removed.
  • PSP isos can now be deleted as any normal memstick games. (also the size of the iso now shows fine when you press triangle->information).
  • When formatting memory stick, GAME150, GAME303 and ISO directories will be automatically created.
  • Changes in internal HEN core:
    • If a EBOOT.PBP with a plain DATA.PSP had a data.psar, modulemgr took as size of the executable the size of data.psp+data.psar. Fixed. (this fix enables psx games to have plain data.psp without causing a memory error).
    • Added a couple of patches found by Tyranid. One allows syscalls instructions to be used in kernel mode without causing a crash. The other allows sceKernelQueryModuleInfo to work with sceInit and previous modules.
  • POPs: The writing is now a bit different. This avoid “Memory stick blinking too much” bug when using the plugin to load the 3.02 pops.
  • POPs: popstation now lets the use of non-encrypted DATA.PSP. If data.psp is in the same directory as the app, popstation will use that as the DATA.PSP of the eboot.pbp. Otherwise, it will use the one from BASE.PBP. A DATA.PSP that imitates the original sony one is included.

    EBOOT.PBP generated with a non encrypted data.psp won’t need the file KEYS.BIN at all.

Its also been noted that these new Popstation EBOOTs will not work with prior 3.03 OE versions.

In any event, have fun!

Download:
3.03 OE-C
1.50 FW Update EBOOT (rename to 150.PBP)
3.03 FW Update EBOOT (rename to 303.PBP)

RENAME THE FW 3.03 AND 1.50 TO 303 AND 150
DO NOT RENAME LIKE THIS 303.PBP AND 150.PBP DON’T WORK

PBP IS THE NAME OF THE FILE I HOPE THIS HELP GUYS

Comment by robs1968
2007-01-25 14:44:59

PBP is the file extension, not the filename. If you have windows set up to show file extensions, it will show as 303.PBP and 150.PBP If you have windows set to not show file extensions you won’t see the pbp

Comment by zsc
2007-01-25 11:27:30

dude, what’s your problem? I’d rather see him working on FW than Downgraders as it would affect more ppl with PSPs who are interested in homebrew. I’m sure some ppl are working a 2.82 downgrader(s) as we speak.

LOVE THE OE best of both worlds wrapped into one, I just wish I hadn’t updated 1 of my PSP’s to 2.81 before this had come out, otherwise both my PSP’s would be sporting 3.03 OE and someday again maybe I will if/when a Downgrader is written, but just give thanks to DA for his work and stop whining about downgraders.

Well, guess what, the 2.82 Downgrader WILL BE OUT! HA! just expect it in about a week dude, it will be worth the wait.

Hey Man! By this time next week, every PSP owner in the whole world – INCLUDING YOU – will be able to downgrade – NO MATTER WHAT FIRMWARE YOU ARE ON!!!!!

Let’s see if you want Dark_Alex (aka GOD) to stop writing OE updates then.

You’ll be like “Oh WOW, I’ve got a PSP that I can play homebrew on but there is the odd thing or two that may need fixing with the firmware, Oh No, I wish I hadn’t told Dark_Alex to stop writing OE updates”.

Comment by 3CDOWidow
2007-01-25 11:40:31

No you dont need to go to 3.03 OE-A then to OEB, you can update to this version straight from 1.50 if you want, its a full flash

Comment by 3CDOWidow
2007-01-25 11:44:15

If your on 3.02 OE-A or 3.03 OE-A just update to 3.03 OE-C

Upgraded from 3.02 OE-B to 3.02 OE-C no problem Make a GAME150 folder in PSP on your memory stick if you don’t have one already and do everything the readme tells you works like a charm.

This is a full flash according to PSP-HACKS, so NO, you will not need to update, as long as you can run the updater (so you have a Homebrew enabled PSP) you can use this app to flash straight to 3.03 OE-C

No you do not have to FLipIn. I just installed from 3.02OEB and everything looks great. The only things I have noticed is the gameboot MS0 mod and Xflash v18k do not work, but I expect that to be resolved soon.

2007-01-25 11:40:26

I’m the total newbie when it comes to this stuff….I have a 1.5FW so I’m in good shape but I’m still anxious about using this….Is there something I need to do with the real 3.03FW files before I run through this? Will I be prompted? Or can I just follow the above instructions and I’ll be good to go. Thanks. I’m a bit of nervious nelly when it comes to the PSP.

Comment by rajabaja

Don’t worry..just follow the instruction and you will be happy. I was scared at first too, but now I am glad I did it.

Comment by CageAK
2007-01-25 20:38:04

hmmm… I’m also on 1.5 and I don’t know if I could go back to it once upgrading to the customer FW. Can I? Or would I?

Please, let me know! tx :-)

Comment by CageAK
2007-01-26 02:05:22

Thanks tony! It helps, but from what I read there is no reason to go back to 1.5, right?
It looks like I can run anything with this custom FW!

If all you get is corrupt icons for your homebrew, PM me in the forums of what programs do this and I will fix them to work on 3.02/3.03 OE

2007-01-25 11:50:35

At first: NO you stupid NOOBS you dont musst update to an other OE!!!! The Flash will be formated anyway! It dont have any sense.

FAnd Now I wana say that I love the new firmware, Because the function to brows the Flash0 on PC is wonderful. I Have try to copy a new Icon Set to the Flash, and it works great. You can see how many speace are free too. Thanks Dark_Alex!

PS: I have see a DH directory at Flash1.

Comment by 3CDOWidow

You can if you successfully downgraded to 1.5, the only thing you cant do on a TA-082 is update from 1.5 ~ 2.5 official sony update, this will brick a TA-082

Have any of you ran into this problem:

You are out of space on your memory stick and see this album of music you don’t listen to much anymore. You can’t delete the entire folder because it has album art in it and it says it can’t be deleted because there is other types of data in it. I would like to see that changed.

Comment by buggahbear
2007-01-25 12:25:19

google for a software called “unlocker”it will
delete anything that your pc tells you,you cant delete! i had a folder on my desktop for years i couldn’t remove even in safe mode till i got this software : )

Comment by gkhan

He means deleting the folder using the PSP, no PC involved.

 
 
Comment by comicgeek
2007-01-25 20:43:57

format your memory stick dude that will solve your problem… it’s showing that message because there are hidden image files together with your mp3s so next time copy only the mp3 files and not entire folders.

Make sure your eboots are in the oeupdatemaker folder, not the 303oeflasher folder. after creating the dxar, place it in 303oeflasher.

Comment by SICKO
2007-01-25 12:54:02

If you update – You will not have to worry about PSX working, It works great. If you don’t upgrade – PSX’s that are created with the new popstation will not work on OLDER firmware Ver. So if you don’t upgrade and someone makes a PSX with this version it wont work on your system.

Depends on what Firmware ver. you have now, & what you have to do. There is always a chance when you mess with flash…BUT it has gotten A LOT better the last few updates with the pre checks and security that Alex as put in the updates. GREAT WORK ALEX!!!

yeah, if you said “I won’t leave my room until there is 100% i can hurt myself” you’ll die locked up. Life is about taking chances, even a small one, like flashing your psp.

Nothing will be 100% safe – not even Sony’s official updates. You are more likely to have to worry about PSP Brickers than this update breaking it.

Yes it does have NO-UMD mode (as with every other 3.xx firmware but only that GTA LC and VCS actually didnt work with the CFW older than this one. I haven’t test it out yet but I think it’s not been fixed yet “just”for the GTA games. Correct me if I’m wrong psper’s.

Downgraders are harder to do, they need to find a user mode exploit, similar to the tiff exploit, which was patched in 2.81, so anyone with or over 2.81 may have a long wait. All I can say is DO NOT UPDATE anymore.

I just reflashed my topmenu and gameboot, now certain icons don’t show up i.e. web browser, locationfree, and sometimes the memstick. I defaulted everthing back, seems you can only flash one or the other not both. If you find a fix please tell me.

Can’t you READ? you can update from 3.02 OE-B to 3.03 OE-C or from any other custom FW, you can even upgrade from 1.5 fw. 3.03 OE-C completely writes to flash.

If you didn’t already know, this is the same kind of update as 3.03 OE-A and I have updated 3.03 OE-A straight from 1.5

Yes ts safe, dont worry about it. ;)

Comment by 3CDOWidow

Let me get this right… you said you can get recovery mode yes? just put recovery folder in the game folder and get the 1.5 update eboot, rename it to UPDATE.PBP go into recovery and run the eboot, then your back at 1.5 :)

Comment by just take my money here take my wallet to!

It might be something simple have u tried just hitting the screen button after the light goes off? When i first did a flash it would boot up then turn off the screen for no reason i could hear sound but no screen. Turned out i just had to hit the screen button and everything was actually fine.

Go read the forum about that. The forum basically tells you everything you need to know. Instead of asking many devhook-related questions here, it’s better for you to just upgrade your 1.5 to 3.03 OE-C. You won’t regret by doing so.

So ur saying when ur on 3.03 oe-c you can go back to 1.50 with the recovery mode. But do you have to flash to go back to 1.50. And 1 more question can this cfw run emulators and psp isos?

Comment by Seiko
2007-01-25 16:55:48

I don’t see why you wanna go back to 1.5 while you can do everything in the 3.03OE. You can run emulators and psp isos directly from the xmb game memu. No need for devhook emulation.

PSP has the capabilities to run at 333mhz, some games would do it without you even knowing.
Sony turned it down by default since it would consume alot more power.

Use the latest Popstation GUI : http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/994
should be simple enought because after you make your file, it asks to move the finished eboot to the PSP. If you still dunno WTF, then i suggest you go to the forums.

Comment by 3CDOWidow
2007-01-25 19:31:09

Glad to hear it, I could make an easy installer, but how do you know, I didnt accidently give you a 3.03 or 1.5 customised EBOOT? this could fuck up your recovery mode, thats why its best to use officila 1.3 update and official 3.03 update to make your DATA.DXAR file, then use the flasher folders with you DXAR file.

 
 
Comment by 3CDOWidow
2007-01-25 19:33:31

That should have been official 1.5 not 1.3… typo soz :)

Comment by 3CDOWidow
2007-01-25 19:52:45

I would NEVER put anyones PSP in danger, I hate to see people brick their PSP’s and I feel sorry for the ones who do.

Its not that I’m against installers, its just the fact that someone could accidently use a customised fw and include it in the upgrade installer withou knowing, thats why I prefer to do thimgs manualy ;)

Comment by Dybbuk

- Added access to flashes 0 and 1 via usb in the recovery menu, based on the great idea of USBSSS by Booster.
Note that writing is enabled, so this is intended only for advanced users that know what they are doing in each moment.
(It is not a great idea to change anything from the kd folder).
Because of this addition, the rest of flashing options were removed.

So does this we can just paste prx’s etc.. to the flash now?

Comment by OG1502

I got it to work and I installed 3.03 OE-C successfully.

What I did:
Removed UMD from drive
Re-downloaded the 3.03 eboot
Changed CPU speed to Default
Used a different memory card, a sandisk 512mb (was using a 2gb Sony)

Something I did triggered it so do the above and it should work.

Comment by Dybbuk
2007-01-25 21:39:13

- To enter in recovery menu, press R when power on the psp.
The recovery mode lets to set options, and it lets to recover potential bricks, as soon as
the 1.50 bootstrap is intact.

- Run program at /PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP. This is what currently enables to recover a
semi-bricked psp (e.g. the vsh doesn’t show, but you can reach the recovery mode).
Despite being in the game folder, that program will be executed in 1.50 kernel, so if even 3.02
kernel is destroyed, that program can be run.

Wait so if you try to upgrade to custom firmware you may brick your PSP because your flashing your files and stuff right? Then can’t Devhook brick your PSP since you flash files?

Comment by Dj Dumbi
2007-01-26 02:52:31

No It cant brick your psp. Cause it flashes it in 1 sec. Security checks are involved, so there’s no possibility to brick at all.

Comment by Mozex
2007-01-26 19:22:30

“Cannot open file!” means that either you renamed the files wrong, or you put them in the wrong folder.

Make sure you name the files 150.PBP for v1.5 and 303.PBP for v3.03 and put them in the “oeupdmaker” folder. That´s it!

im new to this cfw and had 1.5 since i brought the psp and been using DH since. today i used the auto installer and it was quick and easy and now running OE-C. i only got this cause i found out i didnt have to run extra step(run DH) to play iso. downside to DH was i had to power down and restart dh to change duo, so with this if im running this fw and want to play diff game on another card do i have to power down the psp and change cards or can i put it to sleep and change cards or changing while in sleep mess the card up?
thanks

Here is the files I use to update both my psp’s.

I have uploaded them to rapidshare so you should be able to just extract and run.

Here is the instructions for my zip. There from the official release, but its all you need to do.

Copy 303oeflasher and 303oeflasher% from my zip to /PSP/GAME (1.50) or to /PSP/GAME150 (2.71 SE, 3.0X OE).

Execute the flasher from the game->memory card, and follow the instructions.

PLEASE REMEMBER AS WITH THE OFFICIAL RELEASE, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
DON’T BLAME ME IF YOU BRICK.

Sorry about the caps, but I don’t want anyone to miss it.

Don’t use the files from Z3r0 Fl00der
As far as I remember with these upgrades, you need to create the dxar file yourself on YOUR OWN psp. I may be wrong, but I wouldn’t trust a dxar I didn’t create myself.
Just read the readme, it’s not hard.

Comment by z3r0 Fl00der
2007-01-26 20:49:58

Hey,

I used the same dxar on both my psp’s with different boards one being a t82. + if the dxar file was different the checksum which is released in the official readme would be different. and thus is the correct file in my download.

PLEASE check if you a, don’t belive me. or b think it my have been corupted when downloading.

For EYEMAPIERATE.
Rename the 1.50pbp and 3.03pbp to 150.PBP and 303.PBP Now after you rename them, copy both renamed PBP files to OE-C UPDATE Maker.

For WEEEEE
Go to Recovery Menu by manually restarting your PSP-holding the power until it shuts off. Then hold down R button and power on your PSP. Once your in the Recovery Menu go to Configuration and press “X”
Then you’ll see “Use NO-UMD” this setting should be disabled. After that, just exit and make sure that your ISO/CSO files goes to the ISO Folder.

I hope this will help both of you.

Oh and one last thing… When your In the Recovery Menu>Configuration, make SURE that the “Game folder homebrew” is currently at 1.50 Kernel.

3.03 OE-C is a full install, meaning you don’t have to be on any custom firmware version to do that.

This will work on 1.50,2.71 SE-A,SE-B,SE-C, 3.02 OE-A, OE-B, 3.03 OE-A, and OE-B.

I hope no more noob question will pop out!! I answered it!!!

Put the oeflasher and oeflasher% on X:\PSP\GAME if you are on 1.50 or X:\PSP\GAME150 if you are on 2.71 SE or 3.02 OE or 3.03 OE. CLEAR??

AND CHANGE THE reigon to japan

I have a problem thats pissing me off. I am trying to update to OE-C, but when I try I get the “cannot read file” problem. I have both 1.50 and 3.03 updates in the oeupdmaker folder which is placed in the game150 folder. they are named 150.pbp and 303.pbp. and it still doesn’t work. Can someone please help me with this? or give me the dxar file so I can update? Please.

Comment by robs1968
2007-01-27 07:37:23

Do you have windows set up to hide file extensions?
if you do, your files are named 150.pbp.pbp and 303.pbp.pbp try renaming them to just 150 and 303

since you have them in the proper folders, this is more than likely the problem.

OK, newbie dumb question out of the way, sorted it and the answer was Yes. Next up, 1.5 extraction was done in seconds, 303 was still stuck 65 minutes later, not progressing. Switched off PSP,Formatted card, recopied files over started again and 1.5 and 303 were completed in less than 5 minutes.

FORMAT YOUR MEMORY CARD BEFORE YOU START. I, like many others here, sat for ages watching the 303 DXAR stage doing SOD ALL, for ages and wondering what was up with it, The format sorted it instantly. Job finished 5 minutes after, whole thing from start to finish is less than ten to 15 minutes. So if nothing else, FORMAT before you start, save yourself a long wait for nothing.

All done using a card reader as my PSP will not connect to a PC. A bit long winded, but every step taken care of in greater detail.

instructions here are written for 2.71SE, 3.02 OE (for 1.50 users, all reference to GAME150 should be changed to GAME, the GAME150 is not required for 1.50 users).

Download 303oe_c files
Download EBOOT_1.50 file
Download PSP_303_update file
Unpack/Rar files to a folder you can find easily

Remove UMD from PSP (not essential, but saves any autoboot issues)
Format memory card (Via PSP Menu)
Check you have a GAME150 folder in the PSP folder of your memory stick, if not, create one.

Go to the files you downloaded
Open the EBOOT_1.50 folder and rename the eboot file to 150.PBP (this only applies if the file is named EBOOT.PBP, if yours lacks the PBP extension, rename it to 150, it is still a PBP file, but your PC isn’t showing file extensions). Once done, right click on the 150.PBP file and select copy.
Open the PSP_303_update folde
