Pandora’s Battery - Universal PSP Unbricker
Alias420 | August 22, 2007
Right after we posted about Fanjita’s upcoming PSP unbricker for those that bricked their PSP with a bad copy of the M33 custom firmware, Fanjita and his crew upped the ante releasing a program that UNBRICKS ALL SONY PSPs. Wow a strong kudos goes out for this one. No longer will we need to ship bricked PSP’s off to Sony to have them fixed for a cost.
We told you that we’d be releasing an unbricker for the M33 bricks. But then we got to thinking, maybe that just wouldn’t be exciting enough.
Would you like a super special surprise bonus? How about an unbricker for ALL PSPs? Yep, you read that right. We call it “Pandora’s Battery”.
There’s a larger story behind this unbricker, though, and it deserves to be told. It’s the culmination of years of behind-the-scenes research and development by some of the top names in PSP hacking, under the name of the Prometheus project. This group of people, from various development teams, was dedicated to developing and releasing PSP hacks and exploits, with the aim of improving the status of PSP homebrew, and making sure that it was kept alive.
As always you can grab this file from our psp downloads area or by clicking here. For all the details from Fanjita check this out

Any card work if >= 64
No DUO PRO NEEDED only a >=64 and this trick
I’m good :D
Sounds GREAT!!
epic..simply epic
Holy Sh*t!!!!!! Finally i can unbrick my psp!!!!
Holy shit indeed !!!!
DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS ???? It fucking means you can fucking downgrade the new fucking Slim PSP even BEFORE it’s released to the general fucking public because the batteries are fucking compatible !!!! ….FUCK !
LOL Sony got ass-raped BIG TIME ! Prison style, even !
OMG THE NOOBZ ARE GONNA GET A BIG FAT DONATION BECAUSE THESE FUCKERS DEEEESERVE IT !!!
great jos yuz guys
wuv ya
What the fuck.. u lolling at this?
Tell me if you unbricked your psp!
This works! I unbricked a psp.
I even updated to the official 3.52 and used the unbricker to downgrade it to 1.50!
This is the best thing ever released, excellent work.
I read that you did a unbrick from version 3.52 officel sony firmware is true, it wasn’t a custom firmware already?
Where did get your unbrick software from, because I read all lot off it but where I can download it?
Thanks, Piet
I unbricked from fw 3.40oe.
After I unbricked I updated to the official 3.52 fw,
then I used the pandoras battery to dg to 1.50.
works fine as both dg and unbricker.
hey i doing allt his this and the part were it wants me to open the msinst it don’t open it fucken sux i don’t know how to make it run i’ve tried it on all compatibility levels and even the new vista and it still don’t open and it sux anyone know how to do this shit
I have my psp with official sony’s 3.51, can i do this thing of pandoras battery to get to 1.50? anyone that did this please tell me how. thanks!!!!
can we use pandora to downgrade uncustomized psp, like mine. i got a original 3.02 ver psp
yes
Sorry for double post, but could this be a universal downgrader?, sure looks like it, couldnt you brick your psp on purpose and then so this?
is this possible
I believe so… and you probably wouldn’t need to brick your PSP first… just need a friend homebrew to set up the battery
This is absolutely TITS! Great job by all the team members.
Has anyone tried to downgrade using this???
A friend of mine, needs it bad
lol….this is absolutely TITS??? wtf…
titties, yay
They shouold have called the the universal unbricker\downgrader !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have never bricked , but now more people can write to flash without being in danger! and therefore even more homebrew ! Well done !
I’d kinda guess you could use it like that, but i’m not sure as i’ve not had any problems w/ any of that, but i was just thinking that myself….so if someone had a 3.51 could upgrade to 3.52 and in the middle of it purposefully brick it….in theory i think it sounds alright, but i’d rather hear it for sure from the Prometheus project……
i bricked by psp 3.52 m33 purposly while upgrading and i used the pandora’s battery to unbrick it!
it worked!!!
need help on unbricking
Hi there
My son’s psp has been chipped this weekend and they gave us games on a disk that needs to be loaded onto his PSP. I haven’t the fogiest idee how to do it. Can u help?
SUPER!!
and in addition i believe sony technicians will have an emergency meeting tonight XD
:D
:P
no shit…
Yo Losers…stop this nonsense n buy psp games…our boss got his dick up our assess for making such crappy security on psp..lolz…just kidding…go psp homebrew!!!
Hey #$%@er, i’m the real Sony tech. Stop posing
as me and go update your psp to our new 9.99
firmware. It is unhackable now that dark alex is out of our way.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall in that meeting!
Bad idea. Reason? One SFX - “THWAP”
They would want to take out their frustrations, PSP or otherwise, on someone or something, right?
Yesssssssssssssssssssss
i had just Brick my psp last night due customizing
yessssssssssssss i love u fanjita n team C&D
i love homebrewww
could it b possible that this would work the the psp sim since the batteries are compatible ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sony i love even dough ur suckerz thanx for creating playstation itself aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa yessssssssssssssssssssssss
FAWKING AMAZING. KUDOS TO YOU ALL!!! :D :D :D
suprised nobody has yet mentioned here in the comments that DAX was part of this project, long live Dark_AleX and F all u haters who got pissed when u thought he ‘abandoned’ everyone.
way to guys, another
I agree I dont think anyone really looked at the end where they gave credits to who ever worked on this. Go DAX
To all readers, even undercover Sony eyes to stop homebrew: If the computer market, the handheld market, all markets combined with information services never restricted free information to be passed, there would never be this opposing force.
Look at how Linux and the Free Software Foundation came into existence. If there ISNT going to be a comprimise between two groups, there will always, as studied in government class, be a split, a rebellion, because the other party was never willing to open out to new and unique ideas.
Open Sourceware isnt bad. Homebrew isnt bad. We will continue to unbrick and service our own PSPs because you’re not willing to support our partty and they will always exist no matter what you do. The only thing that can be done is what is right - for a comprimise.
WIll you do that Sony? Or will we just buy third party hardware and use homebrew apps that allow us to use it with our TV, or remotely with our PC, or even making the music plugin to where i can listen to music while playing your UMD games.
Its your choice. We will just continue to tred in the footsteps of opensourceware… for the PSP.
God bless you all.
*bows* very well put! good example with linux as well
Beautiful.
u brought a tear to my eye
Amen to that !
BUY PSP GAMESSSS!!! not..
God Bless U!
lol
dhsd
well said! $ony come and bow down, beg for our mercy mwahaha
that was sexy
Wow i Couldnt have put this any better (wipes face due to tears of joy)
oooh, that gave me a hard on
i think that has to be the dark one himself
I dont think its really going happen like I bricked a psp before about two years ago and the psp coudent even turn on like the screen and stuff. HOW can u write the flash if u cant even access it.
The only way I can think of is a program hacking into ur psp from the Computer.
sony does a process similar to un brick the bricked PSP’s we send them, so yes it is possible
this is fucking amazing i’ll have to tell my friends to get a spare battery with their PSP and come over and i’ll do the rest, holy shit, no more fear of the brick
The special battery it creates can access the bricked PSP…You never noticed the 3rd connector on the battery/PSP? That’s why you will need an extra battery…
Another historical day for the psp. I dont think these guys ever get enough thanks, i would like to thank you guys for everything that you do and very much appreciate everything (and no im not being thankfull cause i have a bricked psp either, lawlz)
This is why people shouldnt bash hackers. They do so much good for the communities.
Even though my psp’s are fine, Thanks for the awesome Help you guys have been for all of us.
OMFG! HE”S BACK! DARK ALEX HAS RETURNED! Holy shit! This is huge. Never have to worry about bricks ever again! Thank you to all of you who have contributed to this project. Come on, who behind me in line to donate?
lol he came back wit a big impact haha hella tight this is the best no need to worry about bricking ur psp
I’m with you!
as soon as i get paid.
huh .. maybe Dark Alex was developing for pandora battery before he quit ?
And thus, the prices of bricked PSPs skyrocket on Ebay.
that’s what i noticed already.. befire i sold them being sold for £5 and now i see them for £40!
any storeis
Any one know if you can still use the battery as a psp battery or is it just for unbicking after this?
nope u can’t use the battery again i don’t think but u could probably find a cheap one …. i would rather pay $20 for a new battery than pay for s0ny’s unbricking service …. and it would be worth while keeping the battery for other bricks u might run into in the future
Yes you can. All you have to do is select “Restore battery to normal”
you just have to open the battery again and where you removed the circuit use a pencil and trace a line between the contacts wala normal mode
so the battery you use to create the JigKick Battery will it work anymore to charge your psp or will you have to get a new battery.
need a new battery
That’s what I’m asking. Hope it does.
PEOPLE…YOU WILL NEED AN EXTRA BATTERY…
anybody know how to run a bin file
” Execute “msipl” application on the PC with the msipl.bin to write
the IPL to memory stick.”
trying to downgrade a psp
thats a joke? or u serious?man dont Fuck with my negrita or Ill kill U!!
hahah my NEGRITA! your spanish right! lol
Maybe he’s just gay.
From the urban dictionary,
1. negrita
10 up, 77 down
(noun)A dumb mexican biatch that pretends to be black. These people are usually found in prison enjoying droping their soap.
Hey look at Harry and Eddie Guerrero they are negritas.
Negritas eat caca.
caca pipi
could anyone tell me how to write the IPL? using what programme? thanks
BIG News! Fantastic job guys!
-Will
HOLY SHIT, This is by far the best PSP news ever.
if tis was release after PSP Slim released….. TIS WOULD PWNING!!!!!
seriously how do you write the IPL
usage: msinst driveletter ipl_block_file
its a dos command.
Could’ve done with this a few weeks ago would’ve saved me 40 quid & hassle :P
Amazing work, one of the best hacks this year!
How do you execute mspformat.exe? I’ve tried to run it on Vista and XP, and nothing happens.
You have to open the folder above it and hold shift and right click on the folder then click open command here once opened type mspformat.exe and then the drive letter
ok. i typed mspformat.exe i:, where i: is my memory stick, then i get the message “Usage: mspformat.exe driveletter.” I don’t think it formatted my mspd. I’m using Vista btw. I tried running it as an administator, and setting the compatibility to XP service pk2.
so i moved the mspformat.exe to the root of my c: drive and tried it again. At the C:\> prompt, I typed mspformat k (where k is my MSPD). This time i get an open error message. I tried using both my Sony 1GB MSPD and my Sandisk 2GB MSPD. Any ideas?
Nevermind, I got it to work with XP. Not sure if the problem was with the OS or card reader, but everything works now!
@mspformat
Could you post some instructions on how you did it? I can’t get it to work.
I got it to work using XP. I was using Vista earlier, maybe that’s why it didn’t work. Anyways, I used the same steps as my earlier comment above. Move the mspformat.exe to the root of c:..etc. Don’t add a colon at the end of the drive letter. So type out “mspformat x” instead of “mspformat x:”, without the quotes and where x is your drive letter. Another thing that I did differently was using a different card reader. That may or may not have been one of the problems for the open error message. This was all done on a Sony 1GB MSPD. Hope this helps!
could anyone really can tell me how to generate the IPL pls?
Yo I figured out how to generate the IPL you need to open the program called msinst in a command window and it will tell you how to use it. Now I have a question when I format my card it brings up open error (read) any ideas
@ laptop freak
i got the same prob.. i gues this shyt isnt campatible wid vista.. ill jus wait for GUI to get released..
Holy Fucking Shit!!
I honestly think its the biggest breakthrough in PSP homebrew history. Too bad assholes ruined it for us and leaked it. We would of had a chance of using it on the slim. Great job though.
Dark Alex is back!!! The PSP Custom firmware Creator!!! I don’t know too much of the hackers out there, but when I think about PSP Hacking: Dark Alex, M33 Team, Team Wildcard, Team C&D, & many others are known for their special skills!!!
damn. i just paid 50 bux to get my psp unbricked from the shops. but still amaze NEWS. gonna try to get myself a brick psp n try this out. has anyone got this working yet ?
We probably can still use it on the Slim. If Sony delays the slim, then it probably wont work, but im sure they already have hundreds of thousands of slims already made.
Ok are we even sure 1.50 will even work on the slim? Are we sure it won’t brick?
Now I have a question when I format my card it brings up open error (read) any ideas
Homebrew wins once again.
Sony should SURRENDER by now. :)
it would be better if it release after PSP Slim release….
now IM SURE DAX will be killed or so by Sony :)
I don’t want to downplay this amazing news, but can anyone confirm that it works. I have 2 dead psp’s and will need a new one to unbrick. Can the programs be run in emulated 1.50? thanxs.
Yes. It doesn’t matter as long as you can run homebrew. I might be wrong though.
This is by far the best release to date for the PSP. Long live all the developers of psp homebrew……!
Fucking-Win
im stuck right here and dont know what to do “- Execute “msipl” application on the PC with the msipl.bin to write
the IPL to memory stick.”
ahhhhhh its driving me crazy!!!!!1
Yo I figured out how to generate the IPL you need to open the program called msinst in a command window and it will tell you how to use it.
well what did it say because all it told me was
PSP MS IPL Installer
usage: C:\msinst.exe driveletter ipl_block_file.
I have a question when I format my card it brings up open error (read) any ideas
dude i got ths same problem.. im running vista.. tell me if u find a sollution
how did you format your psp with the mspformat.exe or with windows.
first with windows then with mspformat.exe when i skip it it cant read the ipl
I’ve never bricked my PSP, but know i dont have to worry about it any more. now that we have this SWEET VIDA GUERRA ASS program i thank Team C+D for this program nice work guys thanks for taking time out of your day to help people you dont even know but still wanna Thank YOu!!! You are the greatest!!!
P.S.Man i hope someone makes a video that shows a bricked PSP being reborn from start to finish, I would really like the see what thought couldn’t be done made possible.

HOLY CRAP! Great news. Except now I have no market for all those Lumines games I hoarded (yes, yes, I’m a dick sometimes).

what you have to do is put the drive letter for your psp and msipl.bin
Kudos to the team who made this, u all are worthy of the name GOD
HOLY SHIT!!! I am stupified @_@
will tthis unbrick a fully bricked psp plz answer plz
yes although no reports of success yet
ok i can confirm it works.. i just unbricked my psp.. for those who need help:
goto dos prompt and use the following commands
xp users.. start menu, run, and type in cmd
vista users.. start menu, dos/command prompt
then it should bring u to your user directory
to format:
mspformat X where “X” is the drive of your psp
for msinstall (put msinst.exe file in your root directory of ur newly formated MS)
from dosprompt type msinst X msipl.bin
AND UR DONE FROM THERE
i was also able to change my battery back to regular mode. simply start ur psp with the power adapter and no battery in.. once its starts in xmb place battery in and then run the battery eboot.. i picked [] option and voila back to regular battery
i hope this helps
great to hear of your success looks like I need to run to Wal-mart tomorrow because I get “open error (read)” whenever I try to format
You can try with a PC memory card reader. I think they’re compatible… Ask your friends if they have one, or just stop by a small-business electronics store (or computer store) that has a PC with such a device, and kindly ask them to format it.
Maybe give them a little something… Like, I donno, ca$h ?
Dont need to now I found out my problem DO NOT FORMAT WITH VISTA because vista sucks
is this right laptop freak
PSP MS IPL Installer
usage: C:\msinst.exe driveletter ipl_block_file
C:\DOCUME~1\MORALE~1>K:\msipl
‘K:\msipl’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
wait hold on first copy msinst.exe to your c drive your still have it on your desktop. then type “C:\msinst.exe K msipl.bin” without quotes
Im still trying to assimilate this…
anyway, any stories on un-bricking, and updating to 3.52 M33, and working? well, even if it doesn’t work, we can always un-brick again XD.
AWESOME WORK GUYS!!!
this deserves some kind of award
so this has been confirmed already… wow. but what battery are u talking about, the battery pack
Yes just any normal battery pack that has been modified with this program
the spare battery u made into the magic battery.. once u unbricked the psp to get it back into a regular battery simply take it out of ur psp (the battery) and plug in your adapter. start the psp, it will turn on and go into your xmb menu.. then pop your battery back into it and then go to the battery installer eboot and then select square [] to set your battery back to normal.. it works for me
Now It Says this laptopfreak
C:\DOCUME~1\MORALE~1>C:\msinst.exe K msipl.bin
PSP MS IPL Installer
Load IPL code msipl.bin
Can’t open msipl.bin
did your format your card at the beginning I ran into the same problem when i didn’t format, but now I found out that my cards are not supported. what you have to do is copy the program called mspformat.exe to your C drive and type C:\mspformat.exe X where X is your psp drive letter
wow man it worked, mine’s up and running again thanks :)
this will come out a command which write “format my memory stick” izzit?
I figured out why I am getting open error (read) take note. If you do not own a SONY ms pro duo it WILL not work. I have a magicgate MS pro duo and it does not work.
Not true, I have a magic gate as well, 1GB and it worked fine.
oh is that the error im getting
how do i run the msp format.exe and the msinst on dos command promp
First copy both files to the root of your C drive, then open the command prompt for mspformat type “mspformat.exe “X” where X is the letter of your memory stick then for msinst type “msinst.exe “X” msipl.bin” where x is the letter of your memory stick.
because i have a sandisk ms pro duo
You have to run the program included and you have to run it from the command prompt. if you have a sandisk it might work, might as well try.
will this unbrick my 1.50 psp
OK, something that noone is doing (or atleast saying) to get the msinst part done.
COPY THE MSIPL.BIN file to the local drive, then run msinst.exe. here, follow these steps from a dos prompt
c:\pandora\msinst> copy W:\msipl.bin
c:\pandora\msinst> msinst W msipl.bin
Assuming you follow all the earlier steps, this will properly create the boot partition on the media stick.
WHat is W means?
In my case, W is the psp once connected to the computer. It could be anything on your computer.
ok i see what you meant with the open error write when you tried to format the memory stick laptop freak it happened to me with the sandisk memory stick but it didnt happen to the Sony Memory stick pro duo that I have. happened with the sandisk
I’m getting an open error message on my 1GB Sony MSPD and my 2GB Sandisk MSPD. I just can’t seem to format my damn sticks
Got it to work on XP! I was using Vista earlier.
It Works on my fully bricked PSP (flash0 files deleted bricked) Great Job you guys!!
ty i got it to work but did not downgrade a psp yet can som one upload a video of it plz
umm, i was doin this…and i got up to where i run the installer on the memory stick….and now my psp wont recognize that the memory stick is even in it.. the red light just flashes. it will in fact recognize my other memory stick tho…soo does this mean it screwed up my memory stick?

what just copy all that in the dos and it will work
i hv copy the file to local drive, then run msinst.exe but why still nth happen? any suggestion?
make sure you’ve followed the steps about unplugging the ms after (almost every) each step. It does/did make a difference, I’ve also posted a step by step here:
http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=1123967#p1123967
why my psp say cannot read update file
my brick psp is up and working again
So any chance on working on new slim PSP thefore unlocking homebrew? I th ink this deserves even more attention because this has allot of potential of unlocking new PSPs
I keep getting this message
C:\Documents and Settings\MoralesComp>C:\msinst.exe K msipl.bin
PSP MS IPL Installer
Load IPL code msipl.bin
Can’t open msipl.bin
Dude, do this Copy msipl from ur psp to C: then do this C:\Documents and Settings\MoralesComp>C:\msinst.exe K C:/msipl.bin
no more worrying about a brick this is a break threw with all psp devs since they dont have to worry about bricking anymore better programs are bound to come out
this is the best psp news ever!!! now i never have to worry about bricking and buying a new psp. btw i,m on my second psp. hopfully this will be my last one i ever need to buy :)
holy shit now we can downgrade every psp by purposly bricking them all u people on 3.51 can downgrade now! juss update to offical 3.52 and turn your psp off at 50 percent then use this unbricker to downgrade
Really ?
Don’t we need to first have a PSP that can run homebrews ?
In the Readme, it’s indicated :
Requirements : A PSP with a Custom Firmware such as OE, M33 or WC, or a PSP with
the 1.5 original kernel.
no that wat u need to create the battery and memory stick i think
OMG!!! this is amazing :)
I want to say THANK YOU to all the developers that made this possible.
I am sure this will be in the PSP history forever.
Bless you all
won’t work on fully bricked psp’s since there is lik no way for the pc to detect it
how come many people doesn’t read instructions first then post stupid comments.
dude use another psp to create battery and memory stick and use it to unbrick it …..damn noobs
XD jokin
ah didnt fully read through it didnt notice u need 2 psp’s…amazing…when i bricked my psp soo now im going to have 2 working psp’s lol
Would this work on unbricked psp’s? It could possibly downgrade any psp to 1.5, right?
Right !!!
I also got my battery to normal mode :)
man it will work because u create the files on the wowrking psp then swap them to bricked and woila ^__^
here u noobs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwxq1mJZ2G4&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fpspupdates%2Eqj%2Enet%2F
here u noobz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwxq1mJZ2G4&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fpspupdates%2Eqj%2Enet%2F
i hv backup the battery, but then when i return to the battery programme to update my battery firmware , what should i choose? The “flash” wan? or the “convert” wan?
Holy Fuck!
This is amazing news!!!
Universal Downgrader & Brick fixer in one!
Thanks so much Devs!!!
BTW, Hi Alias420
can i run kxploit then up to 3.52m33 directly after i restored my psp to 1.50?
Of course you can
According to Po0p you cant run any homebrew after this unbricker. BUT… You can update to 2.00 then use MPH’s 2.00 downgrader to go back to 1.50 the all is good.
its “voila”
when i run the install on Run “installer” through the firmware on the PSP. This application
will create the firmware files on the root of the Memory Stick.. when i run the program it just says program cannot start
well as msipl.bin.
sry it just says program cannot start… when i load it off the game menu.. not that well as msipl.bin that was misprint sry
Anyone tried this on the official 3.52, see if it’ll downgrade it to 1.50?
It would theoretically work, but It will work for sure if you purposely brick it, the use it. And BTW I dont know how to brick a psp with original FW.
COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I can downgrade PSPs without wirriying about brickin!!! THANKS LOLZ
nevermind bout my last posts. i figured it out only question i got now with the hack on the battery will it interfere with charging the battery cause i got it to the point of fixin it but it just wont downgrade now cause the battery aint at 50%
i hv backup the battery, but then when i return to the battery programme to update my battery firmware , what should i choose? The “flash” wan? or the “convert” wan?
on vista as well is where all my problems lied i dunno why but i tried on a xp machine and no problems
wow…just unbricked 3, and upgraded to 3.52 m55..i thought i never see this day….thanx
i hv backup the battery, but then when i return to the battery programme to update my battery firmware , what should i choose? The “flash” wan? or the “convert” wan? CAN ANYONE ANSWER ME?
This is awesome my mate has a bricked PSP :D:D:D, Can the magic battery and mem stick be re-used???
YEAH my psp has briked on 3.52 M33-3 with thi program has unbriked.. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/psp-unbricking-battery-unbrick-battery_W0QQitemZ180151537393QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item180151537393
WTF?
Would you pay £800 for something you can now do yourself for nothing??
I’d take a negative feedback on ebay to get out of that wouldnt you??
after the process can we just stock or kept the battery and memorystick for future unbricking? or we have to repeat the process again?
So, i read the Readme.txt it says that its not a full 1.5 firmware so is it possible to do this then upgrade to a newer firmware like lets say 2.0 or something then downgrade back to 1.5 the real one?
The readme.tx talks about the 1.50 image installed in the Memory Stick for the debricking process (The one you make in the MS with the EXE file). After the debricking, the 1.50 Firmware of the PSP is a FULL WORKING FIRMWARE, remember that you copied the 1.50 EBOOT installer in the MS renamed to UPDATE.PBP.
this is holy shittt…. i can just brick my 3.52 and unbrick it using this… thats an idea! is this really effin possible! i never got so excited in my psp life!
i wonder if you brick a psp then unbrick it you will have original firmware and will count as a downgrade. ;]
Yes. This is basically an UNIVERSAL UNBRICKER / UNIVERSAL DOWNGRADER !
This shit is revolutionary ! No longer will we need GTA:LCS or Lemmings for downgrading. This is the shit indeeeed. Think of the new Slim PSP… It can be downgraded BEFORE it even comes out ! At least I think so… because the batteries are compatible.
Now people will have to post new tutorials on how to brick and downgrade the PSP. Even on youtube, why not.
You probably will not need to brick the PSP first because the whole point of this is that it boots off the memory stick instead of the motherboard’s firmware (which is why it works on bricked PSP’s in the first place…since they basically have no working firmware).
it’s lumines not lemmings dumbass.
Whatever.
lemmings?!!
Fucking Awsome
haloo.. izzit it will show tat WRITE BOOT CODE?
WOW. This has to be THE BIGGEST breakthrough ever in psp homebrew. I knew Dark Alex was never really gone! I knew he would come back with something like this!
i knew theyd crack it sooner or later, it neva ceases to amaze me what they can do, great job.
SONY SUCKS!
Does anybody know the size of data on the stick, when done? can I use a 128mb ms pro duo?
Thanks..
pls stop posting stupid question. It’s at the readme.txt. Read it damn it. they spend time writing that.
I don’t know what to say.. :(
THANKS !
[from a DOS prompt (referenced above) do the following, type ‘cd c:\pandora\msinst’ ,type ‘msinst W msipl.bin’ ]
may i know after this izzit will come out “Write MS BOOT CODE”??
best news ever :D
You got it? No, really, you got it? Sony just lost the war, which continued from the beginning, and they lost it once and for all. No more unbreakable firmwares, no more waiting for good folks to break it, no more way for Sony to protect their little child from this molesters. Now _any_ PSP is homebrew-ready!
This is the most stunning news ever! Thank you guys who made it possible! Thank you and good luck on deploying tht same trick on upcoming PSP2000!
To Stupido:
If you mean me, then no, its not in the readme. it says (256Mb should be enough for all applications)
My question was “Does anybody know the size of data on the stick, when done?”
Pandora data about 420kb
1.50 eboot about 13575kb
so how much is generated?
Read it damn it. I spend time writing that. :o)
all right. my bad. you’re right, i was wrong. But then, just like what said on the readme.txt, just use 4GB to be sure damn it. :)
I would try it, its not like you can brick it any more right?
yeah I’m pretty sure it says use any memory stick pro duo smaller than 4 gigs. so any should work as long as its a pro duo and just just a duo like the shitty 32mb one that comes with the value pack, I’m pretty sure it mentions this somewhere in the readme too
Best News EVER!!!!, who would’ve geussed for a minute that this actually exsisted for real let alone u could make it yourself! I’ve never donated before (unemployed :( ) but I will for this just cos its made my year and possibly saved my PSP forever till totall hardware failure
now sony drops the psp like microsoft did the xbox 1
lolage! i accidently bus my m8z psp thru a downgrader…. time to repair lol! jus need to buy a battery…. everytime homebrew wins sony does… noobz increase lumines sales…. now team c+D will increase batteries!!!!
You dont need a new battery… just turn it to normaly mode after magic!!! I did. :)
Sony will never loose!
Ive done the whole thing but it will not unbrick mine…..i get the 3 lights come on like its supposed to when i put the battery and mem card in, they stay on for about 10 seconds then go off….i have tried the same mem card and battery in another psp and i get the menu up ………..maybe it does not work for all bricks …???
this is just for those of you that bricked your psp that had a new motherbored the 2.00 MPH downgrade to 1.50 wont work instead update to 2.71
xbox 360 kernal is now downgradable too.this day will go down as downgrade day
ive tried this on my bricked psp and it turns on for 10 seconds then turns itself off….but it loads on a working psp…..maybe it doesnt work for all bricked psp’s ….????
hey guys.i hope you all can make video tutorial about this pandoras battery.it will make easire for users…
Thats not a bad idea. I don’t have immediate access to a video recorder, but when I do this weekend (if it hasn’t already been done) I’ll record something.
harryk
go to pspupdates the have a video!
what should i choose in the battery creator? X for convert the battery in service mode OR L+R for flash the battery?? pls anyone can tell me? is URGENT pls…
there’s also a readme in there…
you [i]do[/i]know how to read, don’t you ?
i believe when you flash the battery, you can turn it back to a normal batter afterwards. Just start the psp with the ac cable, the put in the battery, and restart the battery eboot.
In Battery Creator, push (triangle) to save serial number to the battery. Then later you can push L + R to get the battery to normal mode! It worked for me. :)
*easier.
hey whats that magic memory stick means?it means we got extra memory or what?lol
It means you’re a dumbass. IT’S MAGICAL AND CAN DOWNGRADE that’s what it means !
it can bring back life to your poor dead psp bec his owner is too dumb it bricked him and forsaken his soul. This is like Jesus, jesus!
can anyone give me the file of the memory stick which is completely ok wan? thanks
Hmmmm this is rediculous….thanks ill keep this around just in case.
-TKG
cool thanks ill be downloading this did Dark Akex help make this if so cool is his stoill around :)
Dark Alex work in the PSP scene is now officially done. Now he need to start something in the PS3 scene as those so called hackers in the PS3 scene still not have been able to run back ups or homebrew software yet.
They badly need a genius such as Dark Alex in the PS3 scene.
Fantastic, great work!
so you need a 2nd psp for this to work?
just want to make sure . is it possible to downgrade a 3.52 ? no matter if its a ta-82 to 86 ? or is it not ?
Universal Unbricker/ Downgrader !!! it means all to day PSP’s. and possible the new PSP200! :)
THIS IS LIKE THE BIGGEST NEWS IN THE WORLD!!!!
HAHA, NOW I CAN WORRY ABOUT BRICKING MY PSP!!!!! I WIN!!!!
DOES THIS MEAN IF WE BRICK OUR 3.5X OFFICIAL FIRMWARE WE CAN THEN DOWNGRADE!!!???
AS THIS INSTALLS 1.50!!!!
does this work if i use my psp 2.71 to get all the files working?
i’m not sure if you can downgrade any psp then with this unbricker but i think yes?
hey! is it to say tat even a FULL brick PSP also can be unbrick??? anyway great job!!!! TEAM C+D i salute u all!!!!!!!!!! :)
Well, Finally i get to brick my psp on purpose! Since all the times i hacked many different psp’s i was always scared of bricking it. But now its OK!! SWEET. Thanks Guys for this great psp unbricker ;)
no but i heard u need a custom firmware to get this to work. to make the battery and stuff
but wat if i hav borrow the special battery and the MS from my friend????? could i used it to unbrick FULL brick PSP????? any1 here tried it??? lol….
yes you can borrow a MC and a battery to unbrick your psp even fully bricked
this works i have tested it on old psp
yes u need another psp (borrow 1)
need another battery and memory stick tho (ebay)
fukin good job C+D
if ur psp is bricked how the hell are you gonna be able to make the dam files think people. this all has to be done on a working psp first (with custom FW or a psp at 1.50) you can also use it to downgrade official sony FW especially 3.51 and 3.52
All hale Team C+D
humm…..
Can I brick my psp 3.51 and then unbrick it to 1.50??
Will it work?
Thank you
I don’t think you *need* to brick it… Just run the program while the PSP boots (with the “magic” battery and ms inside).
Try it. ;)
Thank you X, I will!
cya
“universal PSP unbricker/downgrader” There is no need to brick your PSP on purpose to do this. As other ppl have stated. “The psp runs off the battery/mem stick” NOT the PSP’s flash drive. How ever, You do need another PSP that is “A PSP with a Custom Firmware such as OE, M33 or WC, or a PSP with the 1.5 original kernel.” to get your needed hardware /software.
Got it!
After use the battery pack is there any way to convert it for a normal use again?
Thx
There IS a way. You will be prompted to do a backup of the files on the battery’s flash (or whatever), but… WHY ?
Why would you turn the battery back to normal ? Why not KEEP IT in case you fuck something up while updating to a new custom firmware or stuff like that ?
Or what if you encounter a future bricker virus (?) from a downloaded ISO or homebrew and get another perma-brick ? What then ? Go through the same shit again ? C’mon… Just by a 256 MB Pro Duo memory stick (10-15 USD) and a new battery. Keep the new battery (because it’s new) and load the memory stick with what you need JUST IN CASE YOU’LL NEED IT AGAIN.
Or keep it and use it to Charge your Friends to unbrick theirs. lmao, lol ;)
that’s why you have no friends
Can you use this with ANY FIRMWARE or only customs cause i got 3.51 ;( plus i don’t to risk it not unbricking it yet
find someone that has a psp with custom firmwire
downgraded 5-PSP’s til now non-bricked. I always read the readme.txt , but still thanks alot and its really a great job that will boost the PSP selling since no one will worry of bricking on downgrade/upgrade.
CoOoL Job. and thanks for all your efforts specially Dark_Alex..
W000000000000000000t!
I bricked my psp last month, i got 2 psp’s (one bricked), 2 batteries, and 2 mem stick pro duo.
I am gonna make a donation to them =)
thanx a ton guys
It says in the readme it won’t work with a 32 MB memory card. But you can try it (if it’s brick anyway). And if it DOES work, please post here.
Did someone try it with a 128 MB Pro Duo ? The readme says 256 MB should be fine.
I got 2 1 gig sticks, i dont even have a 32mb, but i can get one of my friends to gimme one (especially if this can fix their psp too =) )
I hope you are not joking with this!!!!
And include the god name of DA (and others) to make consistent credibility to the project.
But, if you are not joking, you are making a terrific job in the scene.
I can’t wait to found a bricked PSP to test.
ok i need help on (Execute “msipl” application on the PC with the msipl.bin to write
the IPL to memory stick) (this part i dont get) please help
Top class work all involved, works like a charm
Semi bricked mine but recovery still worked then tried my new memory stick and battery and it worked, option to downgrade. Brilliant work.
George
u all understand that this is a downgrader as well
Yes. And the new PSP-2000 was hacked even before it came out. Hope $ony won’t look into this too much and let us downgrade the diet one as well… Hombew rules !
man i just broke my psp - the recovery doesnt even work man. am i screw or is their a god that is telling me that their might be a hope.
this post is god then, it is telling you there is hope. (unless your psp is actually physically broke eg smashed)
sorry to post again but about my psp the screen is blank just lke my old one if this really can fix any psp then help me on my first Q?
You will need a psp capable of homebrew to prepare a batter and a memory stick. The prepared battery and memory stick can unbrick your psp.
This will defenetly downgrade your 3.51/3.52 psp.
Treat it as a brick (not too sure about TA-082)
It’s finally happened.. though I remember people said the title would be in red when a PSP Unbricker was finally released.. but this news is.. this news iss one of the best peices of news brought to the PSP comunity.. since the dawn of time man has bricked his PSP and waited 3 years later after the PSP’s release, for an unbricker to come.. now, it is here!
dawn of time…..?
yh i wantd to say that :D! the dawn of psp hacking time is what i should’ve said…
can you downgrade a psp with this plus would this work with the newer Slim PSP if you could use this to downgrade the Slim PSP the update to M33 when it comes out that would be magic
fuck up man out of 200+ ppl theres not one comment on if anyone has actully used this yet it6 cnt b tht great if no one it trying it
Csta, you fucking moron ! You’ve been waiting to downgrade your stupid 3.51 for about a month now ! And you’ve been bashing every single new headline on this site ! And what do you have to comment something other than “OH THANK YOU JESUS, THANK YOU EVERYONE” ???
And people HAVE tried it ! And apparently IT FUCKING WORKED ! Get the fuck off the internet you shitface. You’re not worthy of your PSP.
And I though I told you to jump off a building ! Why didn’t you listen to me ? It’s for your own good (and ours as well) !
Best reply ever.
CSTA is a moron.
finally CSTA, you can downgrade your psp, this will work, as all the great psp developers worked on it.
finally you can shut the fuck up and get on with life, do it now an save use the annoyance of dealing with you…
Open your Eyes !! There are a lot of comments from psp owner eho used it !
what if i use 2.71hend will that count as a psp capableof homebrew
WHEN i tried to use the msinst!!!! it broken my memory stick for godsick !!! ehat did i do wrong!!! FUCK
does this unbricker work on any psp i have 2.71 hend
nice one!!!
im on psp offical fw 3.51
how do i go around downgrading this?
does my psp actully have to b bricked n i thts the case how can tht work if i cnt get homebrew on it to even brick it in the first place,
other thing it says
REQUIREMENTS
- A spare PSP Battery. Any make will do. Using a spare is best, as it
will not be possible to boot the PSP in its normal state with the
modified battery.
- A spare Memory Stick Pro Duo of less than 4Gb. (256Mb should be
enough for all applications).
- A PSP with a Custom Firmware such as OE, M33 or WC, or a PSP with
the 1.5 original kernel.
does this mean u have to have a spare memory card aswell as a battery wb thnx in advance
u do not need to brick your psp in order to downgrade. You will need a spare battery for the psp you plan on downgrading. You will need a memory stick for the psp you plan on downgrading. You will need a homebrew capable psp to prepare the memory stick and battery for the psp you wish to downgrade
It will work on any psp, but if you have it with 2.71 HEND and working, this is just not case here :S
good question some one know how it all works coz i cant make it out in the readme file???
forgot to mention.
SONY IS GOING TO BE PISSED!!!
This also means, that any of the current psp hardware is moddable, and that’s great cause sony will concentrate on the new psp 2000 and all these 1000 version all hackable YEAH!!!
For sure it will be discontinued so psp 2000 becomes default psp hardware, but who cares……. ALL CURRENT PSPS CAN RUN HOMEBREW NOW YAY!!!!
so does my psp have to b bricked in order to do this ?
Nope, you can run it even if your FW is fully working. (tried it on my brother’s psp)
does a 2.71hend count as an homebrew enabled psp someone help.
Yes, it does !!!
I wish the Noobz team would’ve waited a little longer till the new slim PSP came out… Now $ony might delay the release and try to fix it. :| Damnit.
They didnt want to release it yet, but it was leaked somehow, so they had no choice but to release it.
it broken my Memory stick fot god sake!! shit shit shit shit shit
So where’s the Torrents that have the exact copy of the mem stick back up. With all the needed files. I’m a noob and don’t undertand the possibility of command structures. Please help! What does type in path mean? Does the path work if you have white noise? Speaking of white noise. Whats it mean when your memory stick crackles. I mean speaks to you. I mean makes noise. :O My kat just pissed on my PSP. Now what? Can I use this now since it’s bricked?
LOL, :P J/K LMAO!!!…
If you PSP bricked due to hardware failure (urine shortcircuited it and such) this pogram won’t do shit because it only fixes the PSP’s internal flash memory.
Your problem is simple: KILL THE CAT !
Also, I hear they make a mean stew. Yummy…
DARK-ALEX IS BACK
god save the queen!
i love these guys
No, he’s still retired..this app was created awhile ago..Noobz was just going to keep it secret until the psp slim was released..so Dark Alex helped out with this before he retired
I had a little trouble with the readme file contained with the pandora.zip so
here’s where I got stuck.
Go to START menu, click Run, type Cmd
This will open a command window.
Let’s say your PSP drive letter is x and that the mspformat.exe file is located on
the root of your c drive.
*** Be sure to have the USB connection on! ***
To format your PSP memory card with mspformat you would type…
c:\mspformat x
————–
Let’s say the msinst.exe file is located on the root of your c drive.
*** Be sure to have the USB connection on! ***
To create the bootfile on your memory card you would type…
c:\msinst.exe x msipl.bin
Im having issues trying to run the msinst I msipl.bin
i get this
PSP MS IPL Installer
Load IPL code msipl.bin
Can’t open msipl.bin
i really dont know what to do after that.
so does this damage ur memory stick aswell as the battery so u would have to buy a new memory stick aswell as a battery lol i smell shite!!! lol
lol go die
Speaking of Charging. That’s exactly what I gonna do to downgrade a friends PSP he’s getting. I’m gonna Charge him $30 to do it :D He knows not any better of these such things. Sometimes I wonder if he knows how to read anyways.
ur gay! a disgrace to the psp hombrew community
Because he’s gonna make some money and you’re not? So you’re saying all these hackers and coders with paypal are gay too then? Sounds more like you’re just to stupid for psp homebrew community!
fuck u pussy
wow will sony be pissed now. god knows what theyre gonna do. im scared :P
If someones dumb enough to brick their PSP, they’re not smart enough to read the instructions with this package either.
HEY I UNBRICKED MY PSP TA-82 AND IT DOSENT LET ME UPDATE TO 3.50 SO I CAN DOWNGRADE BACK TO 1.50
CAN ANYONE HELP ME
Is there any possibility to damage the battery and/or the memory stick?
i dont but with me i damaged my memory stick ! it’s not readable now!! :S
that is because it has been prepared for a ‘bricked’ psp.
i tried to do downgrade with it but when i used msinst … the memory stick (4gb) :( stop working !!! i
the readme sain
This works my psp is back from the dead and running 3.52 M33 yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
Woot!! .. great job guy’s!! &
DAX great to see you’re still kickin it … Thanks again to all that helped with this .. in the project .. we all are greatfull to you.
Great skills from great hackers!
Thank you all noobz and others!
I personally don’t have a bvricked psp but i think this is amazing!
Too bad they had to release it before the psp slim comes out but i think its allready too late for sony to change anything in their new psp!
there’s already some ahole on ebay trying to sell this for $120…… the nerve
thats just the beginning.
soon ppl will be selling “magic batteries” for $200
This is to great :)
Thanx for this great util.
It realy works, my old PSP is alive again after more than 1 year in brick state.
Now I got 2 PSP.
Mine *almost* worked… It said “cannot write system.dreg,” then powered down while it was writing the 1.50 firmware. Now when I turn it on, I get the blue “press O” screen. When I press O, the system resets, and goes right back to the blue “press O” screen. Is anyone else having the same problem? Was it unable to write the system.dreg file for anyone else?
That my PSP shows ANYTHING after being bricked for over a month goes to show the genius of this development. Thank you, thank you, thank you, every member of the Prometheus Project.
OMFGGG, THIS IS CRAZY, WELL DONE U GUYS, THANKS TO ALL OF YA!!!!!!!!!!!
just one thing…SO THIS CAN DOWNGRADE ANY CURRENT FIRWARE ALSO?
YES IT CAN!!!, any firmware at all (so basically sony have lost) haha lol HACKERS: 1 SONY:0, sony might aswell give up now LOL
when is it coming out. i dont see a download button?
Read ALL of the announcement ! It clearly says at the bottom:
As always you can grab this file from our psp downloads area or by clicking here. For all the details from Fanjita check this out
Check out the words in blue. You do know what the color BLUE looks like, don’t you ? Or are you vision-impaired ?
IT WORKS!!!!!!
to all those in doubt, it definitely works.
just downgraded a freind’s PSP from 3.52 OFW.
to answer your question, yes, you can get battery back to normal, there is a backup and restore option for this included.
this manual is good, use it:
http://www.rafb.net/p/2vEinP16.html
only thing you will need is the official 1.50 eboot.pbp, use google!!!
now i have to show my friend around the wonderfull world of homebrew.
Tnx team, forgot the name, for this great app.
HAHA nice! i bet every one that trashed or smashed their old bricked PSP’s are kicking them selfs in the head right now lol, luckly I’ve never had that problem nice development though huge breakthrough for the PSP hacking public. Sony’s really fucked now this is like japan gettin bombed all over again for them LOL
hmm……I got 1 thing to say DA** thats one heck of a relief. NOTE:this post hase got the most comments I’ve ever seen on this site. hope it works.
i havent got a psp, my bro has though, he just showed me this earlier. i am surprised a battery can do this as batteries dont usually have any built in memory function, it must be an object built in the battery which means you could make a self contained unbricker device and then you would probably be able to use the current battery, but hey, i dont know anything about psps, just a thought
omg this is great…..you can use it as universal downgrader?
TOTALLY KICK ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
YO M33 THESE GUY ARE THA REAL PSP HOMEBREW HEROES, NOT BRICKERS!!!
i have one question! can it be used with a 3.50 sony official fw …to downgrade to 1.50 (whitout any brick) ???
noo ….simply nooo…..!!!
i mean you can use a pandora battarey and put it to your psp but you cant create one with your 3.50
read my above post … no wait … you probably don’t know how; the answer is yes.

Unless you want your PSP to explode, which has been documented at least once, by all means, go ahead and buy this aftermarket garbage.

csta sucks
$ONY are fuked now Ha HA and they deserve it, well done C+D great to see that we can now brick our PSP’s and restore em !! AAAAAAAAAAHHH YEEEEEAAAAAA
csta sucks this is best news ever maybe i wont have to read his stupid comments any more. thank you to every member of the Prometheus Project.you guys are gods
Hey guys good news, I had a Firmware 3.51 psp, I bricked it by updating to 3.52 then turning off the psp, I used this program to downgrade it to firmware 1.50
It wasnt there fault, someone else leaked the files out, so they had no choice but to release it.

Tutorial (with screenshots): http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=107068
Just got back from going around all the game shops in my area (Birmingham, UK), u think i can find a new Official sony battery? Not one, only the unofficial ugly clip on things that plug into the charger port. eBay here I come
I like to state that you can still use your “MODDED JIGKICK” battery normally without the need to restore it.
How?
Simply power on your psp with the power cable first, than after your at the XMB, put your battery In, and it will work just fine.
As long as there is no “HARDWARE REBOOT” you should be fine. “Putting the PSP to sleep mode will not make it mess up”
Of course: YOU CAN’T power on the PSP with the battery cause that will trigger the recovery.
A very good ideea that would’ve never crossed my mind. Thanks for the heads up.
Stupid fools we wanted to wait for that hahaha
now we can release 3.53 with this bigass security patch….hahhahaaahaa
ehh fuck that….your shitty worker got my psp 3.5…..1 but yehhh…we got yall asses.
HOMEBREW RUN THIS SHIT!!!!!!
Is it possible to use the Pandora Battery more than once, and reload the battery?
Are there Unix programms equal to the two’s in the download?
I’m confused:
Is it now possible to Downgrade any FW?
or just the bricked ones?
haha watch sony release a firmware that that isnt unbrickable
listen up peepz, if you want 1.50 but have 3.52 just make pandoras battery aka. the de-bricker, and install the battery. press x for yes.
IT WORKED DOWNGRADED/FIXED 5 OF MY PSPs!
if you love the homebrew and hate tha brick give me a HELL YEAH!!
HELL YEAH!!!!!
HELL YEAH
now they cant sell unbrickers on ebay anymore,damn sony is in a tut now.
Thank you bitches.
“just insert them into any PSP (even a brick) and the PSP will be reinstalled with the v1.5 firmware. As far as we know, this will continue to work for all future firmwares.”
wouldnt this be the ultimatee downgrader?
yes i think so mate, this will unbrick any official firmware and get u back to 1.50 so it is an unbricker/downgrader =]
haha lets downgrade a 3.52 using a 2.6 downgrader!
wow thanks guys this is awesome now im not 2 afraid 2 downgrade my psp
Great Job Once Again !!!
THIS MIGHT WORK ON THE NEW PSP SLIM
THIS IS CRAZY :D
to the guy that posted right under me wrong it says its not a full version of 1.50 firmware

This actually works on just about every brick, I deleted my entire flash 0 and it fixed it.
OMFG THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!!
For those of you who are having some problems with that msipl file..
I was having them problem to and did this.
I just formated the memory card in windows xp. Right click select format.
Example psp drive is (f:)
Then copy MSPFORMAT.exe to the root of your computer drive (c:).
In command prompt, type mspformat f: (enter) then Y (enter) If something happens good, if not keep moving. One of my memory cards didn’t need it, one did. Just keep hitting yes or ok.
Then start the installation process to get the required files on your memory card as in the readme.txt. Once done copy the msinst.exe to the psp root (f:) then here ya go…
f:\msinst f msipl.bin
That’s what I did after trying all them other ways and it worked like a charm!
For those of you just looking to downgrade your Psp from whatever FW, I have sofar downgrade from official $ony FW’s 3.52, 2.0, 3.03, 2.81 and some others with no problems. Only thing when I went to update to 3.52 M-33 it took forever to write the 3.52 files when I ran the M-33 Creator.
Good luck guys!
