October 22, 2007One Wire Pandora Battery — No Software Required
Posted by greg
“Pandoraize” your PSP Phat and/or Slim battery without any software related hacks; just take a close look at the diagrams provided by godzivan. If you have a steady hand, it only requires the soldering of one wire. Upon success, create your magic memory stick!
Thanks for sharing MoBillyAla.

this is n33t but kinda risky well still excellent realease
you can use tape to connect, like mike chong down below said, or you can use stuff called wire glue… basically conductive glue, instead of soldering
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?
I use an external card reader that works quite fine for this. eurasia is a great site, I saw this earlier. Incredible.
All you need a homebrew psp for is to extract some files for a dump. Copy the dump from a m8 and put on the memory stick. Run the battery with it, congrats, it should work
That’s a comment you thought about for a long time, isn’t it. You don’t even need a 1.50 PSP to make the Magic Memory Stick, just custom firmware with 3.XX kernel.
Umm… I made a Magic MS with my 3.70 official PSP FW >.>
Some1 heard of Pandoras GUI?
What?! How?
how do you make custom firmare with psp firmware 3.90
how did u make a reg. 3.70 firmware into a Magic MS
if there is a way to downgrade a 3.52 firmwire can you please tell me?
This method is retarded. There’s a simple software “pandorizer” that is so much less risky.
Where?
were do u find pandorizer
Explain this pandorizer to me. and do you know if i can downgrade my psp firmware 3.93 and if so help me out.
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
yes how do you open the battery
in your f**in face $ony!
HAHAHAHAHA im doing this with a switch!
Without Sony we wouldn’t have any of this. Respect to Sony and all of the Hackers. One can’t exist without the other.
Yes, without hackers I wouldn’t exist. Just like a cow without flies
LMAO
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!
does that reallly work?
if so IM trying it now !! ill post results :P
It does work, it made me think for a while that I hadn’t managed to convert my battery back to normal, before I tried without the power plugged in.
aha it doest work :( i made a vid if u wANNA see? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlKeCP-nDaM
I know, people over complicate things way too much, surprised the devs missed it though >.
shitty video quality dude… fuck off… get a better cam before you create somethinglike this. noob!
Your a total fucking chode. At least he put the effort forward. Retard.
can you explain more about the stick only pandora? cause tomorrow at school im incharge of getting a few of my friends PSPs with custom firmware cause they love mine lol (their firmware is to high to natraly downgrade, and we dont have a spare battery)
theres apps out there that make magic sticks for you off your pc (or mac) you dont need a homebrew enabled psp
If so, someone please post a link. I googled it in all the ways I could think, but no results whatsoever. I don’t have a CFW Phat and I can’t get one.
TRY YAHOO BRO NOT EVERYTHING IS GOOGLE
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/552549
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.
Well, duh. The one that said that it DOES work is a moron ! Unless his PSP turns on by itself and tries to read the ms just by plugging the ac cord… Which I seriously doubt that it does.
He just take out his pandora battery while AC adapter was plugged in.
In this case the PSP don’t erase battery ID in his memory and think that it’s still in PSP.
Well, it might work. The boot drive is read from the battery’s EEPROM by default. But what would happen if there is NO battery? Would the PSP boot from flash0 or would it try booting from ms0? I didn’t try that because of my Magic MS lack, but, you know, it *might* work.
hmmmm… maybe go and do a lil’ switch between it, to quickly switch between Magic and non-Magic Battery O.o
EXACTLY what i was thinking.
GIVES A FUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKKKK
GIVES A FUCK WHAT YOU THINK EITHER?Motherfucker!
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…
Hi… Sentinal. I was really interested in checking out your switch setup could you please send me the pic/vids.
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…
Don’t get any of the battery liquid on you if you rupture the cell. That stuff is WICKED. It punctures holes in every body cell (your body) that it comes in contact with!! Nasty Stuff. Be careful.
Your right it hurts like hell and goes straight to the bone make sure you follow proper procedures. Ive seen some pretty bad burns.
-TKG
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?
A Pandora Battery that runs on 110/220v alternative current ? lol
I think it would be useful for someone like your friend… Especially if he’s into repairs (unbrick). Just don’t overprice it because remember, he can do it with a normal battery too.
I have a software modded battery and personally, I think it’s less messy and a heck of alot prettier than sticking sharp objects into it’s casing. But if you’re a professional and know what you’re doing when you cut through the plastic, then know exactly how to stick a switch to it, than I say go for 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?………………………
Yeah, well, I’m 14, and i have done all of that, in addition to installing a custom faceplate and adjusting the sensitivity of my buttons.
Oh yeah, and i am a homebrew programmer (I use C). In a few weeks or a month my current game (an RPG) will be ready for release.
im 11 and i used pandora now shut up, i prog in java and hack my psp into 371m332w/150 addon
eat
shit
none of you are impressive, age makes no differance. as for those who cant do things because its *too hard* they just cant read and follow directions? well apparently you can. congrats.
If you kids really want to impress people learn how to spell.
Your good
Why would you want to use C instead of C++ in a game programming… Thats what I dont understand kid…=)
I’m 8 and I go to Harvard, asshat.
i’m 6 and i still suck on my mum’s nipples… i also prog in java and wee on my pants
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,
unless you are a complete retard it would seem obvious that the battery should be gently bent away from the pcb thus removing any chance of an explosion from over heating. And soldering inside the battery is not so tight. installing a UP mod chip was much harder
I recommend using a 15W soldering iron. This means you have quite a while to solder the joints before it will damage the chip
Or without any soldering you can cut one of the pins on the chip (For the Slim), Or just simply cut the track that goes to that pin. I tested it and it workes perfectly on the slim.
Go here for some info on what pin to cut or more simple juste cut the track that goes from that pin

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
how you put a switch on Phat Batterys? tell me please!!!
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
cool i found out how to do it but what tool should i use to make a small hole to switch it off and on
wait nevermind i don’t know how to make the switch but the one wire thing i do know
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).
Damn noobs hwo don’t know what to do… In simple english forya:
DONT KNOW? DONT TOUCH!!!
what an ass.
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?
That means you have a pandorized battery, but no pandora memory stick (it’s looking for something to boot from because your bypassing the onboard eprom): put in a pandora memory stick insert your pandorized battery and watch it boot right up.
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?
or maybe even a hb pencil would work?
Thats Clever !!! wow
Thats what we call a Guinness moment…BRILLIANT!!!
-TKG
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
