this is n33t but kinda risky well still excellent realease

huh?
this is kinda dumb, if you need the 1.5 psp anyway to make the ‘magic stick’ whats the point of having a non-software mod?

That’s cool lol finally!

it is suppose to change the new battery that cant be converted

Old now but still cool

how do u open the battery

in your f**in face $ony!

So once again we are able to use any battery we want as a Pandora’s Battery then?

When lifting the pin 5 (or pin 4 on a Slim battery), the battery won’t charge because that’s the Ground pin. I think the same applys to the Power pin.

So my question is: Will this new hardware hack allow the battery to charge ?

this is ok i spose… but for all you that dont know you DONT need a battery to use pandora! just use the power cord and magic memory stick! it works everytime and u dont need to change your battery!

theres apps out there that make magic sticks for you off your pc (or mac) you dont need a homebrew enabled psp

seems easier to do it the first way that way discovered: lift 1 pin

you dont need homebrew psp just magic memory stick and power cord!

sweet

Surely it doesn’t work with just the power chord and memory stick without an already homebrew psp, cos that would just make all this hardware hacking unnecessary.

hmmmm… maybe go and do a lil’ switch between it, to quickly switch between Magic and non-Magic Battery O.o

theres got to be a similar way to make the the slim give a color picture for a pal tv.

The concept of this working on the slim batteries ALONE is well worth the discovery in my book.
As for the switch comments, I’ve installed a switch on my phatty battery’s frontal face side and using the battery mod here last time (the one where u snap the leg off on one of the chipsets soldering point technique) i was able to cut it instead and solder them with wires that connects to the switch that I mounted (drilled hole and fitted snugly) on the battery).
But I’m afraid it costed me x2 phatty batteries. one was botched during the first attempt and the outher casing’s hole was too big and the second was fine but the cell over heated and smoked during soldering the wires to the circuit board so I ended up swapping the cell on the 1st attempt and found myself attempting a more dangerous soldering jobs. Which is to solder the VERY HARD bottom soldered points of the + and – side on the battery’s circuit off and back on on the previous botched attempt.
End result was well worth it though and the closest explosions I had was a battery leak on the 2nd one and a dark smoke that scared the sh!t out of me when i cut the chipsets leg in half for me to be able to solder at it’s points.
I’ll produce pics/vids of my final result if ppl requests so. Just let me know if u want…

If u do attempt his, make sure u get a uber small switch cos normal .5″ ones (2 size below normal) is too big. and upon closing the case again when ur almost done, u’ll realize that the switch is too big and the case will NEVER close.
and another is to get new solder tips, again the smaller the better. Cos using old ones tends to take too long to heat up and thus more danger over heating the cell packs.
Specially when attempting to solder the wires (+&-) to the chipset’s half leg and the mobo, u need to be EXTREMELY quick. cos too much heat on the chip end=broken chip and too much heat on the mobo end=higher risk for the cell pack on the back side and u’ll find urself covering for a mini (DANGEROUS!) explosion. the battery’s acid and other small HOT! plastic and metalic fragments will be everywhere.
So BE CAREFUL AND WEAR PROPER EYE AND GLOVE protections.
I ended up buying a welding mask and altering the visor to have plastic/see through fiber glass window.
So just in case…

Next, I want to take the battery’s mobo and cut it from the cell pack and feed it instead with an adapter (normal 3.6-5v cord ones) to be able to use it without worrying it’s power capacity. And try to sell it to my friend cos he owns a console repair private business.
what do u guys think? would u buy it?

lol all of this pandora stuff is very cool but all i need is my normal pandora battery and pimp stick to downgrade and unbrick also itz even better when itz equipt with a extended boot menu with PSPfiler as one of the programs and the other is a 3.52 M33 cfw installer………..lol i think i am pretty good 4 a 15 yr old huh?………………………

Why on earth would we need pandora?

hi guys it workz i have now a Pandora battery with a swich, man it so cool, tnx for the diagrams

I’m confused…. what does this do?

I do not recommend this at all, very risky, if you look at the actual chip, its very very very small, I mean, this isnt soldering, its micro sodering, you can ruin your battery so easy its not even funny, not to mention it can catch on fire and explode. I am not lying, please be careful people.

well your right i just solder on mine SLIM battery and yes its small all you need is a lamp and you can do it, i made on with a switch i mean damm its so nice,

Can u put the battery back together because its hard enough just to get apart?

oh and could some1 post a video of opening it and putting it back together?

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!! A shame I don’t have a workimg psp but My fat still has a battery And only the screens busted hello Sutom firmware on my nex psp!

didnt i already write a tutorial on this?

Awesome for the psp slim!!! But i have a switch for my psp phat battery!lol so i dont need the cables lol. Nice release tho! This is good for the slim but for the phat i would say just put a Switch on that puppy

Can someone just give me a link to an easy window app to get a magick stik and a pandora battery i bought my psp last year around may and it was a 2.5 i upgraded a couple of times up to 2.8 and went back down to 2.71 ta-082 can someone just give me the easiest way to downgrade my psp or just make it go straight to a custom firmware…thks

without briking or (any riks like all the other downgredes say)

I know what a Pandora is and all but WTF they talking about this switch thing? whats it for? is it for those patched Batterys?

SWICH is for, if you have one Battery like me you can swich ON for pandora USE and OFF for Normal Battery use, [ ON PANDORA OFF NORMAL BOOT ] you digg

I’ll just stick with the Pandora battery and Magic Stick thank you. No need to ‘fix’ what is already working… well to me anyways.

forget doin this, its too risky, and besides, bit of a late release considering people ahve probably already made a pandora battery using software anyway!

my battery broke(probably cause i don’t know what the hell i’m doing, lol).

do i really have to solder it or is there a other way like a switch in it?

I did this mod (one wire) on fat version and when inserted with or w/out MS inserted, I just get black screen and power led indicator (green when charged, red when low). I don’t get the wifi light or anything else. I used 30guage kynar wire. It shows the power led as soon as I plug battery in and didn’t touch power switch or anything. psp fat works fine with other battery and/or AC plugged in. Any thoughts?

Couldn’t you get a pen with conductive ink and draw a line to those two points. And when ur done with it wipe it off?

yes we can!,excellent work,

Already tested conductivity of hb pencils? There cant be any loss dough, don’t forget it. But conductive ink sounds pretty good to me! Anyway, you should be able to use sticky wire, it’s like normal celotape, but with copper bands on it. There you’ve got 0,0003% loss of tension, works fine dough, i’ve tested it :)

so what do you actualy do to the batery i camt see that well

OMG i did it i finally have cutom firmware
this rocks so much!

just use booster’s multi IPL for dual Boot press L + power = pandora normal on = XMB

im confused

you gert loada turds, listen to the people who no what they are talkin about, stick to playing with toy cars if you dont understand

yes this does work i used the desoder trick on pin 5 of the old batteries :P

I tried doing this but i broke one of the pins off whilst openong the case. :-(

man this is crazy stuf i dont know wut im doing… heck, i dont even got a psp yet.. if sum1 knows how to do this then please just make simple directions

well the thing is with that battery, it can hack like every psp to down grade. i had 3.72, and i now have 2.52m33-4. and if u stupidley brick the psp the battery repairs it. so any1 hoo threw theirs out couse they thought it was bricked and broken 4ever, NOT TRUE

To all,

This method WORKS! I did it and worked like a charm. One thing the founder forgot to mention though is the only batteries that it will work on must have the following:

On the back of the battery, where it should say Made In China (If it says made in any where else, your screwed pretty much cause apperently the China version work and not others) right blew it there always is a set of numbers. In order to do the Pandorize procedure you need to confirm that those numbers are in the following format

x-xxx-xxx-xx

Note: the “x” are put there to represent any number. As far as I have found, the numbers themselves don’t really matter. The pattern shows that the specific battery you have has the board which the picture exemplifies.

If your battery’s number is not correspondent to that format then don’t even bother opening the battery because you’ll waist your time. And yeah, no need for wires or anything, not even a solder. You can simply using a a fine tipped but strong exacto knife to lift that specified pin but be careful and if you have never opened anything in your life don’t even try this. You will get hurt and thats preventable.

I have no idea what u guys r talking about, but i have a psp with 3.71 firm ware, and one with 3.40 oe-a. all i need is to find out how to make them both to where i can download games and stuff off of mininova.org and them work, i have been seeing so much different stuff, it makes everyone look like idiots!!!! please let me know anything at spircdn@hotmail.com. thanks

how do u solder thoses parts thgether
im just 8
idk how

bad idea little dude if you mess up you’ll
blow your hand off
if your relly going to do it use as mutch safety as posible cover you face and have someone there to call 911 incase you don’t have the digits to do so your self

Can someone send me a step by step guide on how to create a pandora bat please and special memory stick to play homebrew games

sorry my email is spiderbuilt@hotmail.co.uk

hey my battery does not look like neither of those two, it looks sorta like the slim one but it does not have the same chips can someone plz help me.

http://www.divineo.com/cgi-bin/div-us/zz-psp-btool2 apparently that battery is able to Pandoraize the device for you, i have no idea though, i’m noob to this topic…

What’s the word on the divineo product? Anyone know if it will work and if it is an actual pandoraized battery?

Well I have just ripped my battery apart (genuine) and it looks NOTHING like the two pictures, and is covered in silicone.

WRONG. I have an original sony 1800mAh battery made in JAPAN that I purchased on eBay (with 1G-MS) Pandora JigKick (kit) that works. Used it 3 times for 1.50 downgrade, 3.71 M33 V2. Then boot normal (regular battery) to do the 3.71 M33 V3 update from game folder. BUT you are VERY CORRECT…….must have the row of numbers on the bottom right side of back of battery X-XXX-XXX-XX (were X is just any number) The same X pattern is ALSO on my Original battery that came with my New (old stock) Phatty that I got last week. This one was made in CHINA. So it seems as though CHINA & JAPAN -both- work……..X-XXX-XXX-XX Get-R-Done :) I think most all batteries NOW in stores are the JAPAN with numbers NOT IN THIS CORRECT “X” pattern. I bought one bestbuy, sent it back. Said THOUGHT was a slim battery. Ooops.

HELP ..i know a little about computers i have bought my kid a psp it has version 3.60 on it but what do i do to play downloaded games from the net ,,,,a simple step by step guide will do for this noob PLZ boab900@hotmail.co.uk

Hey! I read many boards! And everywhere you can read something else! But Whats the real Way to downgrade a PSP? I got a Slim and Lite with 3.60! Please send me a guide like boab, if somebody has one! JKKnappik@web.de
Thank You!

DID NOT WORK FOR ME TRIED JUMP ON BATTERY NOT WORKING EITHER

at least 3 month behind ;)

Anyone else downgraded using the GTA method? ;)
Good to see it’s still possible, but it’s definitely harder than it used to be…

ppl dont b stupid. find or pay any1 n’ make a sofware pandora!!!

Any computer software that can downgrade without a batt like pandora and the tool batt. i can use the mgic stix but want to know if i can without any battery with com. software. i have a piano black psp-2001 slim 3.71 FW. HELP PLS…
email: daniellejason2001@yahoo.com

Did you see this video?
No Pandora battery needed to downgrade to 1.50.
Seems to be only from 3.71M33 but still.

This will probably sound stupid, But what is all this Pandora stuff about? I’ve only had a PSP since Christmas, and am still trying to put a custom firmware on it and everything. I don’t know much about them. I feel like an idiot…

Well tried this tonight Could not get wire to stick on. I got to much solder on components. Cleaned them off best I could. so I put the battery back in the psp to see what would happen damn thing booted from the memory stick and brought up a menu I hit X and it installed 371m33-2. Not sure what I did to battery but its pandoraised now.

I have read all the posts and I’m quite overwhelmed with all of the information to the point that i’m totally confused. I have a bricked PSP fat with the m33 firmware. It wont boot up just a green light is all so i cannot install the stuff from the magic stick I created on my pc. I was initially trying to make my psp slim have custom firmware as well and read that i need my psp fat to do it. well its bricked now and dont know how to proceed. I have magick stick but no pandora battery and now no way to create one. Any ideas?? Thanks all I am really missing my custom firmware from my original PSP fat and cant do anything with my new slim. Help!!

You wont have to worry about blowing up your battery Li’s are kina hard to get to (insert fireball here) iv soldered directly on laptop batteries before it just ruins there life span if you get them hot
(just dont short them do that and ur screwed)

I got it done real easy. There is a really easy cut on the side. its just a lone wire and i cut that and i could start it in service mode. Also whenever i took it out and popped it back in it still worked as a normal battery. Awesome as ****. im trying to find a way to I think graphite the wire area and turn it fully back into a regular battery. I wanna hear some more on that so if anybody knows some good stuff on that post it quick

Alright..I have a non custom firmware….3.72
And the battery is 3.6v 1800mAh.
I read somewhere that you can pandorize a battery without hacked firmware.
And I also found out that only the old batteries that were produced in China will work.
So…will I be able to pandorize my psp without hacked firmware?

wTF r u guy on bt sonyz gt all you in a twist wit this pandora shit sony made pandora so they can reset crap psp)bringthemaliveagen) bt sum crap hole spilt da beanz u dnt need even need a bat 2 dwngrade wna nw more click on mybebo link in ask(nli do dat if u gt bebo) or my msn nickbadboy5@hotmail.com any1 want a techno fite

omg.. you guys are all fucked up… there is no way you are gonna try fucking up your battery, so you can go in service mode just to install CFW ? :P thats the stupidest riskiest thing ever… just buy the Datel Tool Battery.. it costs like 15£ on amazon.com … and it works exactly like a pandora battery.. takes only 1 week for delivery (outside UK)… and another thing: SONY found out about all this pandora shit, because of people putting this on the internet.. so all new psp slims batteries wont be able to be pandorized.. sorry guys but the new batteries are too protected, its impossible.. so either use an old battery or buy the Datel Tool Battery…

It’s never recommended to pandorize the slim batteries. PHAT fits on all sizes..

damn
can somebody pls add screenshots how to pandorize the other versions?

i stuck, i opened it but i cant do anything, im semiprofessional at eletronics and computers, but i dont get a clue how to fine the datasheed for the f*** chip, and where to find the power-pin

S$hIt

dis is good for doesnt turn on psp

hello i need how do i play the games i download on my psp and stop getting corrupt data how to make it read my version is 3.90 and if i buy the old psp will it make it easier to transfer to new one thanks for your time

wat do yu do afta yu run the 3.51 m33 creater after it says game cn not be started

can you use the battery as a normal battery after modding?or do you need to mod it again by cutting the wire?

DUDE ITS TEN TIMES EASIER THAN THAT ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS CUT THE BOTTOM RIGHT PIN OF THE EIGHT PINNED CHIP

can i get free battary bcs where i live there is no facility

I am a pro tech. for anyone who doesnt like soldering or dont know how, please do not try it. here’s a better way of using the wire to connect from C06 to R21. use a thin wire, cut to about the same length (with a little bit extra). Strip both ends. get yourself a wide cellotape (transparent would be ideal). no join one end of the wire to C06 and the other end to R21. BE VERY CAREFUL at R21. Remember to use the celltape when you join the wire to C06. tape it first before moving on the R21. do the same at R21.
There, you have now joined it. no soldering work and less risk of having the battery explode in your face.

they spelled FAT with a PH that is kinda funny

Is that soldered to those two chips or the board. I am referring to a slim battery

Battletoads?

you really don’t need to do this you can just disconnect the the solder by the 4 on the ICO4. it will do the same thing. it worked for me.

when i did it. i put in the battery and only the green LED shows up. and it stays on forever

alright i too have gotten a newer psp, that god of war one to be exact. however, im still confused about what exactly to do with the battery. there are some people saying it is impossible to pandorize the new psps, and others who say you can do it. someone earlier said the phat psp batteries work with slim psps…

someone mind clearing this up?

been prying the batt whole dae but jus cant get it open.. helppp!!!

been prying the battery whole day but it just doesn’t open. HELP!

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

k. when ever i turn it on, the green light only shows up. and it stays on forever until the battery runs out.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OR I WILL DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i opened my battery and there wasno cicuit board at all !!!!! plz help it was official sony 3.6 v 1800 m amp battery

Nice little mod as i had no psp for months and just got a slim n lite.
very easy to do and i have never soldered b4 in my life.

all i did was get my old psp battery.

u mother fuker dont dare talk like this with god fathe sony is our boss! any way in ur fukin face sony lol

see i have the answers to all of your questions!!! first of let explain that pandora shit they were talking about is actually your moms vagina! and the magic memory stick is my cock! so to pandorize it you need to insert the magic memory stick (my cock) into your pandora battery (your moms vagina)! there you go folks a custom fuckware! thanks in advance to all the moms helping!

anyone who’s serious please answer. I’ve read the whole thing and you guys dont really give info, you just banter back and forth.
I have a battery made in china with the
x-xxx-xxx-xx stuff there.
Can i make a pandora battery WITHOUT opening my battery? Will it let me downgrade my 3.95 version firmware? Please just a simple yes or no.
Thanks to all those actually taking this post seriously.

Man this sucks “pandorizer” i tried it but then it made my psp freeze wtf im supposed to do so it will stop freezing

Mines does that too and i need help on how to fix that because each time i turn mines on it just freezes then shuts off

what website/

dude.. im 10, and i know what a magic ms, and pandora battery is… i know that if you edit the eeprom.bin file, it go to service mode…. and if you bricked your psp, and DON’T have a Magic MS, get a card reader/writer.

I’m -9 and write raw machine code. Yeah.

what does it change when you make it a pandoras batterry what does change
