Universal Unbricker for PSP Slim & Fat
greg | September 28, 2007
Update: Version 2 –
It has been reported some cases of bricks in the previous version when pressing circle in the bsod. This seems apparently to be a bug in the sony firmware code.
To fix it, this version will copy the registry of the psp that created the memory stick.
Dark_AleX whips out his magic stick for everyone to see, err, use… uh… wait a minute… that doesn’t sound right…
But on the real, now anyone can convert their ordinary memory stick into a “magic stick” for use with Pandora’s battery. Unbrick your PSP Slim and/or Fat, install custom firmware 3.71 M33, and you’re lookin’ good.

thanks keep it up and dont quit m8 :)
Real cool, but i dont have a brick so, i need a 1.5 patch!
Dammn!
THAT KICKS ASS!
well even tho its not kernel
then we know the patch is close
DAX..u have screwed us me again..STOP homebrew..or, we at sony willgo NUTS with new firmware updates (that get hacked on Day 0)…lolz..let me download my copy of the unbricker for my personal psp…oops…did that slip out??
how do I make my Pandora Battery not a Pandora Battery?
if you made a backup of your original battery, then take it out of the PSP, plug a power cord (charger/AC thing) into a PSP with an OE on it (the one you used to turn it INTO a Pandora battery), turn on the PSP, THEN put the battery in (after its on). Open up the Pandora program and it should have an option to turn the battery back (if you made a backup).
I didn’t back up my battery though, so it’s too late and I need a new one? Or if I hit circle and try turning back to normal, would it mess it up? Wondering if I should try it anyways?
if your willing to risk it try it… Im not sure if it will work or not… if it does it does, if not…
It does! I used circle(normal battery that autoboots) instead of square(normal battery) and it does work! No need to backup your battery!
it works without the back up. i restored my friend’s battery back to normal without any probs.
i dont really understand what to do i bricked my psp by trying to put theme on psp with version 3,71 m33 but then it bricked and recovery does not work ….how to use this tool please explain me!
BUY a NEW PSP..its the solution for u,,,
lol riiight your dumb as hell. edisons just use a pandora’s bat, you need someone elses homebrew enabled psp or go to the team noobz website, i heard they will do it for you. there are tutorials on how to use pandora’s battery in the forums.
Wow the same thing happened to me so can i use this if i have 3.71 m33?
ok need help just add me on msn it all easy if some 1 helps bernieisgod@hotmail.co.uk
Kl DAX Thanks! Tho I dont have a brick, I may make good use of this in the future.. thanks!!
o the other guy just press O and it will make u battery normal
can i unbrick a psp 3.71 m333… ican only enter recovery mode..
I have a Slim PSP with official 3.71. Can I get into the CFW scene with what I’ve got?
u can use pandora bat to install cfw
but u need to find some1 with homebrew enabled psp to make pandora
derektgreen get the recovery folder put it in psp/game name it recovery and run in recovery ” eboot recover folder at psp/game eboot.pbp
can you run me through that again? I dont want to brick.
FUCK i totally bricked my PSP i even cant enter recovery mode anymore… :(
As SOny CEO, I can help u..but don’t tell anyone…u can create a pandora yourself, or goto ebay and several ppl r selling it there..they also have service to unbrick ur psp…so, try it. u r new..so, creating a pandora battery and magic memory stick will be a problem for u..coz u have to find a friend with homebrew psp first.
or…u can buy a new PSP from us (SONY) and brick it again..and then do the same thing over n over again… Hope this will make have some profit!!
lol but i think everyone should wait till the patch
Go DAX!!! Show Sony who’s boss! w00t!!!
edison’s use a damn pandora’s battery tutorials are in the forums
pspwebbrowser.com/signup.asp: “derektgreen get the recovery folder put it in psp/game name it recovery and run in recovery ” eboot recover folder at psp/game eboot.pbp”
Can you explain that again? I’m running slim official 3.71 and want to get some CFW.
ok i think offical firmware can NOT Make unbricker/downgraders.
Only if someone has a homebrew PSP can make one like OE or M33 maybe LE idk
Isn’t this old news? Pandora’s battery has been out for a while now hasn’t it? Is this just an update to the software? What exactly is new???
this works on PSP SLIM. Pandora doesnot.
so this means i wont need another psp to downgrade?
geez, guess ill never learn, i just had my fat psp unbricked ,( thanx to DA) but like 5 mins ago i brickit again, but that wont be a problem anymore thanx to DA. way to go. (ynnus esruc)
you still will in order to make a pandora’s battery, less you buy a tools battery and then enter recovery to make the mem stick.
ok thanks
“Dark_AleX whips out his magic stick for everyone to see..” GREG WTF man, I think you get a little too excited… fag.
haha, fuck
fuck you
please the 1.5 kernel
my apprentice dark alex will help me conquer the puny sony empire
PERFECT DARK_ALEX YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!
DON’T EVER STOP. PSP NEEDS YOU!
i know this is just off topic but i am so fucking frustrated right now and i need some help. i just got wifi installed in my house yesterday and im with this psptube thing. i keep going to youtube.com/dev to make an account but i dont see no fucking button that says sign up here for a dev account. omg im so fucking frustrated right now can some one plz tell me how to make a dev account.
Can someone give me a link to a pic of DA’s magic stick? I really wanna see it…
W00t @ Dark_Alex. He rocks more than SONY! Sony Suck! they went to hell and spat right back out.
And note to “Pandora –> Un-Pandora without making a backup” people, just use the option to make the battery normal, it will change the serial to 0×12345678, it works… and also to make it pandora again after tht :)
Can I make a Pandora Battery with Slim? I know I need to get a old battery…but can I make the Pandora Battery on an old battery with my Slim?
Yes, if you have 3.60 M33 or 3.71 M33 to run the homebrew app http://dl.qj.net/General-Apps/pg/12/fid/14694/catid/151
how do u knw if your psp is bricked? or not?
you pour a glass of water in the UMD drive.
if it won’t come on. the green light comes on but nuthin else.
Woah! Dark_AleX is working with M33?
DA _is_ M33 you twat
No you twat he’s a member of m33.
A couple of weird things about this unbricker….seems to work well with Old_PSP…reluctant to try on psp_slim, as 3.60 works perfect for me.
Why is there an option to install normal 3.71?
How does one create the old pandora, if you make the new pandora. What happens if you want 1.5, instead of 3.71? With the 1.5 kernal missing, its impossible to run the ‘unzipper’ pandora 1 memstick maker.
Besides that, it seems to work well. Both systems recognize it, and installs flawlessly on the old system. Again, dont wish to try it on the new one quite yet.
You fucking pussy. ¬_¬
If you have a NAND copy for PSP_Slim version 3.60, would it be possible to copy that into the memstick (pandora2) and then use that option to restore it…. thus, an effective 3.60 downgrader? (Slim only)?
okay koool i got a 3.71v of the psp should i try downgrading by using pandora’s battery? ( im newb)
NICE VERY NICE!

**FAT_PSP WARNING…. RECOVERY MODE in the Recovery Menu will not restore Fat_PSP’s back to Version 1.5. It will cause errors and brick the system. Once it has been upgraded to 3.71. The only thing that will do it is Pandora Version 1….
cani use this pandora’s battery to downgrade/upgrade my psp?
If I am reading this right, since I already have the pandora MS done, all I need to do is get 3.71 and put it on the MS. But it is oem fw, how does this update to m33?
It simply uses the Sony installer with a little code to patch the necessary files that make it M33
Uhhhh… didnt dark alex leave? did i miss something?
He is a difficult man to keep track of. But, working under the guise of M33, he just keeps doing what he does best.
should have added, the original Pandora didn’t work on my slim. will this allow cfw?
Any memory stick? I’ve tried 2 regular memory stick duo’s and nothing works. One being a 128mb and 512mb. Only the Pro Duo worked for me.
Skip sony still doesn’t work.
I Like the idea that you don’t have to go down to 1.50 then update to what ever version. But, I still went back to 3.52 M33-4. Having a CFW with out the full package is like eating cereal with out milk or beer.
I used to think Sony was far superior to any other out there! For Example: Nintendo’s Gameboy was not for me, Sony’s PSP was the ideal ultimate handheld there ever was! Then Dark Alex showed up…. everything change, Sony ain’t superior no more, all hail to Dark Alex’s ultimate PSP skills. Not evern Sony’s entire group of encoders are match to a one man team Dark Alex!!!
I beg to differ.
There are heaps more ppl out there, with way better skills then D_A and sony.
I am one of them, I’m running 3.71 with homebrew, 1.5 and all. Will I release it? NO I wont
Its NAND, learn to code.
Thats like the biggest joke on earth! u dont have shit to release it..
“There are heaps more ppl out there, with way better skills then D_A and sony.”
Regarding your english, there are heaps more PEOPLE out there with way better skills THAN you. I am one of them. I have the understanding and I use it and all. Will I release it? No, I won’t.
The Uncreated
yeah? well, fuck-OFF then!!!
YEAHHHH now I can buy a SLIM without the worry of it to come with 3.7X. LONG LIVE D_A!!!!!(+[PSP]::)
well Cobra you are totally right, DAX owns the scene, he has a superbrain so skilled and none of the sony encoders are a match for him, he really is the best and it will allways be, he is the reason why i still have my psp in hand, if it isn´t becouse of him i wouldn´t have now, i have my psp since the day it was released in europe, never had a brick and any other problem with my psp, thanks DAX for all your work, you will allways be remembered for all the good thinks that have happened with the psp scene, i just hope you can finish the 1.50 kernel patch done as soon as possible, hope to see that here soon. and one more thing, DAX never leave us becouse if you do that billions of people will be sad. thanks for everything DAX see ya around

lol this is a bute
I Unbricked my Slim PSP! :D -3.71-m33. Thanks Guys! it was piss! lol :D
Haha. What are you gonna do next sony? File bankruptcy?
My last post on this topic: I have been messing around with the NANDS of factory 3.60, 3.60MM and 3.71MM….if you have a proper NAND you can restore your PSP Slim with it and return. Just a few minutes ago I did this…. 3.60, 3.60MM, 3.71MM , Purposly Bricked, UnBricked to 3.71MM and downgraded to 3.60MM.
If you have the proper NANDS, psp Slim can go to Any Firmware you want to, and I’m assuming future firmwares will be no exception. If 1.5 capability is released, the PSP slim is just as hacked as the original.. Thank you Dax, this is the greatest present you could have given.
It’s “M33″ you tard ! Not MM.
Sheesh, so many loser flamers with no lifes in these comment sections… I dont know why i even come in here…
do i rename 371 to update? not working at all on my slim…tried on fatty- no problem
I want CFW on my slim 3.71 psp but have no friends with homebrew psp’s. What can I do?!
Pay some one to do it. I charge $20 on the street. But with shipping and handling . It’s almost not worth it. Almost better to send a Mem stick and a Battery. This way you’re not putting your PSP at risk of being lost or stolen by the sendie. $5+- to ship a battery and a mem stick. $20 to have the mem stick and battery done and ready for you. $5+- to have it shipped back to you. Aint bad really.
Reminds of the days when I use to send floppy disk’s in a regular envelope for 32¢ a stamp. LMAO….
none of the hackers charged you for their programs, so why do you charge just to copy some files?
Ill be your freind! send me your psp and ill get a CFW on it, promise =)
Funkel…remember that if it worked on the FAT, it will work on the SLIM. You will have no screen on the slim because the recovery is based on 1.5, although the software will work regardless of what shows on the screen. If it boots correctly on the slim you will see TWO beeps on the Orange light and ONE green blip. Press X to restore system to 3.71. When finished, the system will automaticaly shut off.
**WARNING….** Installing 3.71MM will render your psp not able to connect to the internet or add new connections on the PSP Slim. Everything else will still be there. Use this (and the 3.71 upgrader) with care, and perferably only if bricked….there may be a fix in the future, but its not definate. (Note: If you have a 3.60 NAND you will be ok re-downgrade it later).
Tom, here in lies the problem. The slim doesn’t flash orange lights at all- just the solid green power light..at a loss
Funkel, you said you created Pandora 2 and it worked on your psp Fat system. If it upgraded your system to 3.71, then it will work on the Slim model as well, provided you didnt mess with the files on the memstick. The lights that flash are the Memstick and Wireless lights. (Caution, your wireless internet may not work if you upgrade.)
Tom, the only light that lights up is the power light and it stays a solid green- no ther lights flash before or after I press x- nothing. On my fatty, plug in battery – all lights flash and into menu it boots. I understand the 1.5 not being functional in slim, but there is no apparent flash available.
HACKER is Always an HACKER, only DEADMAN QUIT!!!!!! HAHAHA!!!!! thanxs DARK_ALEX
Funkel, try again in your PSP_Fat, if it boots up with the menu, I am at a loss. If it does not boot up that menu, then remake Pandora 2 according to instructions. Remember, it takes both the Pandora Battery and the Pandora MemStick for it to work. (gtg bed).
Confirmed working in PSP_Fat, no lights, no sound, no action with slim….. confused..
Double confirmed, I cannot get this working on Daxter LE PSP slim
I think, i should have slept before trying this…….funking idiot i am…worked- just had to read..no more rums and cokes before playing with toys… Thanks for your help Tom- muchas gracias DA
wireless works
i just tried it on my 3.71 ofw slim and it successfully installed 3.71 M33 i’m glad i still kept the fat one i wouldn’t be able to make the files without it. the cfw works fine i almost thought it bricked so i shut it off then removed the memory stick turned it back on went into recovery and disabled every plugin and it worked i’m guessing that plugins don’t work well on 3.71 M33 yet. but it just lacks 1.50 kernel and better theme support
thanks Dark_ALEX if it weren’t for you we’d still be using DEVHOOK
is it even possible to hvae 1.5 kernal on the slim? can it be done? DAX i have one more project for you!!
dark needs fix all problems with 3.71 before people start getting abusive cause it disabled the most important like wifi/homebrew/emulators,probably more
Thanks Dark_Alex!!! I can buy slim now, and I’m not affraid to work on it… BUENOS DIAS ARIBA ARIBA DARK_ALEX!!!!
Thank you so much. Later this evening I was gonna buy a Slim so this is excellent news.
And also, thank you for returning to the PSP scene. It would’ve been a shame to loose such a great developer.
I won’t brick it too soon, but it’s a nice relieve. So keep doing what you do best and thanks again !
PSP MAY BE SAVED
TYPE 3.71VE IN GOOGLE
HOMEBREW IS SAVED.HOORAH
well i´ve been in their blogspot taking a look at team voids work but it´s still to soon to launch fire work but i pray for it to be real, now if it is DAX or not i really don´t wana know, if he says that he is leaving us we have to believi in this, now if he is team voids work we better stay shutted up couse if it really is him we are messing up with his new disguise so we better wait and see.
they claim they don´t have anything to do with DAX, but there´s one thing, they to are spanish programers so i hope this to be real couse we can´t stay without cfw, stay tooned we may have news soon, and DAX may be working in the 1.50 kernel patch, he had promissed that so he will do it so just wait a litlle longer, i´m waiting to, see ya
once again the godfather of PSP has shown what sony are made of.
keep up the great work DA. we as all psp users are really appreciated.
on behalf of all psp user who had moded thier psp i would like to say THANKS TO ALL WHO HAD WORKED ON ANY PSP HACKS/APPS/CF OR ANYTHING PSP RELATED. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE GREAT WORK AND TIME YOU ALL HAD PUT IN.
Lol @ Tony.
I was wondering when you were gonna break the news.
Does this mean that the psp slim can run 1.50 kenal support now. I mean they said they were going to make a patch….So is this it?
no that´s not it, the patch is for fat only, the slim is unable to run 1.50 sadly
isnt the 3.71ve worthy to be on main page?
an i should get credit for finding it.
anyway hopefly it isnt fake or lots will swear,war world 3 will start an manhunt on fake hackers.
hell will break loose if 3.71ve is fake
anyway dark alex rules an i hope that ve keeps the homebrew flame going.
if ve isnt released then spain will be nuked.lmao

well ronnie42 i guess we wont be seeing a 3.71ve out there couse they allready have retired becouse there was a lot of people out there speaking shit about them so they decided to leave so we are done again, no future cfw so far, i´m crying
always good to know, if i screw my psp up, i can have it fixed without having to send it away, might just have to buy a new mem stick and new battery. (plan to use my original psp battery- came with my factory-1.50 psp- as the pandora one, and another 256 mem stick for it, just to have them in case me or my friend who also has a psp gets bricked somehow)
Anyone having wifi issues after installing this version? i had after i scan it gives me an error message, have tried both on fat and slim.
I can’t figure out how can I make a pandora battery, i already did make a pandora ms, i’m at cfw 3.71 m33, what does DA means by use use corly149 tool

LOADING UPDATER MODULES FAILED….COULD ANYONE TELL ME WHY? I ALREADY FOLLOW THE README… BUT WHY STILL CANT? CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLS? (“,)
many games cannot play in this version…e.g locoroco
Oh man Dark_Alex u rock dude tried this on a bricked psp works like a gem dude freekin amazing
Guys,
I bought my PSP couple of days ago. Cool really I like it but I’d like it better with GT4 on it heh.
Anyway I understand this homebrew scene but buying games keeps it alive. So please just buy your every 10th game to keep the machine working. DS sells better but I think PSP is a better device. We need cooler and cooler titles so please. Just spend some money in every half year.
Thanks, and don’t take it as a defense,
I.
PS: I’m also struggling: I want at least GT2 in my pocket but waiting for GT4 without hacked FW may be a good omen. Isn’t it? :)
I’ve heard on some other sites that this worked for some people on 3.52 OFW. Is that true? And if not, would it work on 2.81 ofw?
I kind of want to know if I should try this on my 3.52, or buy try and find Lumines for my friend’s.
You’re all mother fucken ass wiping bastards who don’t know shit go fuck yourselfs fuckedy fuckedy fuck fuck you all go to hell you shithead mother fucken bitch ass niggas that’s right you are all ni**as you dumbasses we wouldn’t need these kind of programs if you all knew what you were doing instead of being retarded and bricking your psps you dumbass fucken nig**s
