Custom Firmware 3.90 M33 Released

greg | January 31, 2008

Update: And, for us fat users only, the 1.50 Kernel Add-on…


Dark_AleX with the quickness — custom firmware 3.90 M33 is here! You’ll require Sony’s official 3.90 update; fetch that below or let Dark_AleX’s M33 network updater download it for you.

3.90 M33 changes:

  • 3.80 -> 3.90
  • March33 NO UMD: fixed (yet another) bug related with exiting with home. (infinite semaphore wait)

M33 Updater changes:

  • The degeneration check and correction of IDS keys happens too in 3.71 now.
  • Added code to download 3.90 PBP from net via wifi. Note that his code is not yet 100% stable, it may crash when selecting AP. In that case, re-init the installer.
  • L+triangle has been restored as method to bypass battery. If you already have 390.PBP keep those buttons pressed until you see “Veryfing 390.PBP”. If the 390.PBP is being downloaded via wifi, press those buttons at the end of download until you see the previous sentence.

Is your psp version 3.80 M33?

Comment by PimpMatt
2008-01-31 21:29:29

Dude he said 3.80 hes probably one of those dumbass that never reads the READ ME.txt you need 3.52 M33-3+ to get (3.71 M33 or 3.80 M33 or 3.90 M33) to get 3.52 M33 you need 1.50 PSP.

USE FUCKING PANDORA!!! AND WHY ARE YOU LOOKING FOR UPGRADES (CFW) WHEN YOU SHOULD BE AT THE DOWNGRADE SECTION!

It will hang when the kernel access hasn’t been set to 3.xx.
Just turn the PSP off completely and turn it on again while holding the R button pressed. In the menu set kernel access to 3.xx and reboot.
Now the installer will work just fine.

Comment by Eoh01
2008-02-09 07:18:52

You need a Pandora battery to install a custom firmware. The easy way is to use pandora and a stick with say 3.71m33 install on it. do a search here or got ebay and try your luck there. :/ If you pay more than $100 US you are mad.

I Wonder if DARK ALEX or the developers of IR-SHELL, or some other psp developer are interested in making a REAL TIME SAVESTATE APP for PSP isos and PSX emulated games,(It means to save game playing in any moment, just like emulators do) IT COULD BE DONE VIA IRSHELL, OR SOME OTHER MEDIA MANAGER.

IM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT

SkypeIn (psp to psp, psp to pc, and pc to psp) is free. SkypeOut (psp to landline phone or psp to cell phone) is like 2 cents a minute or something like that. i only use SkypeIn so im not 100% sure on the SkypeOut pricing

they’re weren’t any problems with 3.80 M33

Comment by Anthony82
2008-01-31 20:11:24

Umm Yeah there was many, PS1 games worked like Crap, SNES worked like garbage on it, and many other problems. I’ll stick with my 3.71M33, that seems to work the best, and with my 8GB Sony Stick, works fine, 380 didnt not like my Stick, AND yes it’s a REAL stick, before anyone say’s OH check if it’s a Fake. IT”S REAL.

sucks to be you, works fine for me in every way..

Comment by anthony82
2008-01-31 21:22:53

Well do you have a 8GB SONY STick, because that’s what works like Crap with 3.80, I had it working OK, yeah just OK with the 1GB and 4GB stick, but allot of stuff was Buggy, as in PS1 Resident Evil, and CWCheat, so I went back to a Good FW, 3.71, everything works Fine with my 8GB stick with that FW. So until they make a FIX for those Sticks, I’ll stick to 3.71, or until SONY actually makes a Good FW with stuff to be Excited about.

2008-02-09 07:28:33

I have a real genuine 8 GB Sony stick and it works PERFECTLY with all M33’s including this one.

If you want to know what a real one is supposed to look like do a search on ebay for “*GENUINE* SONY 8GB Memory Stick PRO Duo 8 GB Retail PSP” sold by a user called “1800memory” and his comment is “BEWARE FAKE Sony P/N with T, 3+0+3 seals or BLUE 8GB/GO”

They look real they may even work kinda ok for most stuff but they are cheap garbage. Don’t use them if you can afford to get the real stuff. :)

What were the problems with 3.80m33? I didn’t find any myself.

Comment by ratix
2008-01-31 17:44:49

just because you didnt have any doesent mean others didnt.

a lot of people had problems with pops loader not working as well as speed among other problems mostly due to some of the new things sony did with the firmware. just go look through the forums and youll see.

Comment by Carnivac
2008-01-31 18:01:57

I was only asking out of curiosity as I’ve not had any issues with that firmware even when running pops loader…

Some game compatability went down with 3.80, with ps1 games that is.

This is a surprise. He made this faster than most other releases. He must have been on this the minute it was posted. He shouldn’t have had too much of a problem because of this being similar to 3.80. And you don’t have to download anything using a computer anymore (unless u use 1.50 kernal then that’s different)

2008-02-05 19:29:28

all u need to do after u use the pandora’s battery is start up the psp without the battery…(with the power cord) then put the battery back in.. then go into the pandora’s battery program and switch the battery to normal… u really don’t need another battery.

Go!Messenger is for Europe only. In Recovery mode you can change your region. that’s what I did. It looks cool, but it’s not online yet. I’m guessing it’s some video IM thing that works with PSP Camera (hence why it will NOT come out in the US)

Do you really, REALLY think that, after playing games like God of War (demo) or Crisis Core in your PSP fat, this little thing hasn’t got enough power (processing or RAM) to run something as simple as Skype??!
It’s just a marketing move from Sony to make us move on to PSPslim.

Comment by MysterySword
2008-01-31 19:03:01

No. It was fast because barely anything was changed from 3.80. I’m using 3.90M33 on a Phat and Slim, and I can’t find any bugs.

lemme know when you make a custom firmware that’ll let you update from any sony firmware…

till then I’ma stick with my 3.90 thanks to my brother. So as soon as that one’s out lemme know!

Comment by Mac
2008-02-01 00:28:47

Not going to happen. You can’t update from an official firmware of Sony’s, to a custom, unless the firmware is 1.5 or you already have a custom firmware.

You can however downgrade it, using Pandora’s Battery:

http://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments&v=_D8CqUoszD8&fromurl=/watch%3Fv%3D_D8CqUoszD8

Follow the link, and you can downgrade.

Comment by PimpMatt
2008-02-01 01:20:01

He’s right it will be impossible for entire life! It’s because above 1.50 firmwares can’t run unsigned codes. Unless if sony made a huge mess with a big hole in the firmware that runs unsigned codes all over again which will never happen again i guess.

Comment by Neku123456
2008-02-17 16:40:56

There’s ALWAYS big mess-ups in companies like Sony so don’t give up hope!
DRAMAIZATION:
Sony will try to make a new firmware to stop hacking 4EVER, but forget important stuff like what files can be in photos and music resulting in us (Both Fat and Slim users) being able to put stuff in those folders and do a total down-grade so powerful… well, you can image the rest. :)

1.50 Eboot is only the most downloaded file on this site.

Try it again and make sure your not using any download accelerators or other stuff.

Secondly it’s in a zip format so try opening it using windows built-in or winzip. Maybe somethings not right with your winrar install or something.

I’ll stick to 3.71M33 untill they fix all the Bugs with Sony 8GB Sticks, and untill Pops Loader Universal actually works with it, because it sure did not work with my Stick and 380 when I had it.

3.80 slows down 8Gb memory sticks? In that case it’s a good thing I’m still at 3.71 on my Slim.

Your only choice and way is a Pandora Battery & Memory Stick. I think after Pandora came out, looks like no one’s bother to look for exploits in the firmwares anymore. Last one I recall must of been the Lumminies Exploit which was good up to 3.50. Don’t recall hearing any more after that since that’s when Pandora came around if I recall correctly.

It truly amazes me that you people come in here with absolutely no knowledge about how to do this stuff, yet, wonder why you have problems. Don’t give me this “well, we all have to start somewhere” bullshit, either.

When I first started doing this, I actually did what you SHOULD of done, is do some goddamn research.

Again, for the thousandth time to you people, you can’t CANNOT, (CAAAAAAN NOOOOOT!!!!) update to a custom firmware like this, from an official Sony firmware. If you’ve EVER used the update option and updated to an official Sony-made and approved firmware, you can’t use this, unless you DOWNgrade.

Fuck me, here:

http://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments&v=_D8CqUoszD8&fromurl=/watch%3Fv%3D_D8CqUoszD8

Follow the fucking link, and downgrade your PSP by making a pandora battery. If you ask me what that is, you can fuck off, as I’m not explaining shit to you lazy motherfuckers anymore.

short answer: custom firmare can only be installed on a psp running 1.5, if you’re >3.5 you’ll need something called pandora, check the forums.

I think I was one of the last 3.52 hold-outs. I switched to the Japanese region so I could check out PSP TV and one of the games I downloaded from there (monster hunter 2) required 3.80. So I figured: “Ah, What the heck?”

Upgraded from 3.52M33-4 to 3.80M33 flawlessly. Then I used network update to go up to 3.90M33. It even downloaded the 3.90 eboot automatically!

Question: If I wanted to go back to 3.52 M33-4, could I just run it from Game, or would I have to downgrade to 1.5 first?

3.52 m33 is a good CFW and all but only 1 down side ….. can’t play newer games =( But really i have not had any problems with 3.80 m33-5 or 3.90 m33 (all games apps and psx games i test work 100%) and i have tested all that everyone keeps saying does not work.
But 3.52 m33 is still a Killer CFW and i do wish they make cintro work on 3.90 m33 But thats just a Hope/Wish really Not a Big thing.

as for you “new” people, it would not hurt if you did a little research yourself. help yourself first and then maybe others will help you too. who knows maybe someday you will be the ones helping the new people in our community.

first things first, 3.90 m33 is awesome, but still has some bugs, rather wait for another update.

secondly irshell doesnt work for the new 3.90 m33, nor most of the other apps. and Ahman has retired stopped making updates for irshell.
im gona stick to 3.80m33 i have no problems with it so far.
this release of 3.90 fw is just a test proceedure for sony, we are the guinee pigs. they are testing to see how many people would actually use voip services with the psp. because they are about to release the psp-phone combined, with skype installed.
therefore, if u guys want to use homebrew apps such as irshell and cwcheat etc… then stick with 3.80 m33 for now. plus skype doesnt have an open chatroom like yahoo so its kinda crap.

When you update from 3.80m33-5 to 3.90 m33 you do not have the 1.50_addon for 3.80 on the psp anymore (thats why you need to install the New 1.50_addon for 3.90 m33)

Wow I’m surprised, what Memory stick are you using ? I was using my 8GB Sony Stick ( YES It’s real ) and It worked like garbage with 3.80. I used my 4GB and 1Gb Stick and Resident Evil Still worked like crap, some of the other stuff worked, but it was still Garbage. So I downgraded back to 3.71 and all is good again :D Good to hear some of this stuff is better with 3.90, But I’ll wait a while still before I get new FW again.

this may also concern others with 3.90m33. when i play tekken iso, it loses its data. then when you check the savedata file it shows that it’s corrupted. does anyone here get this same issue?

i hope DA releases an update regarding this case. It’s not only the tekken iso that went wrong. i checked other isos as well such as bomberman, sega rally.. there is also a lag part on tekken even if you’re CPU Speed is at 333

Its still a damn shame that the Fraggin Freeloaders still bitch and complain about newbies. Hey, everyone has to start somewhere…in fact, I struggled for months trying to figure half this bullshit out and guess what, I couldn’t….doesn’t mean I’m a dumb-ass. I prefer just to stay legit FW, but that’s just me. It just gets old when the Highly-Superior-Leachers out here dawg on someone whose just tryin to figure out this shit. All respect to Dark-Alex, but in most cases, unless you can pull off Pandora (which aint the easiest too do, I don’t care what the geeks say) and haven’t been updating Sony’s FW then your screwed, cause you always have to start with a M33. Hey, I’m just one of those that could never get it work either, doesn’t mean we’re any dumber.

Anything else besides Pandora’s Battery? I don’t wanna lose my memory stick and battery just to un-brick. The main reason:

Memory Stick = $30-70
Battery = $10-20

You know how internet radio you have to download the players? Well someone thats a good hacker should hack a player and turn it into a rom player or something that can let us downgrade. Dark_AleX, or any hacker out there, try this idea out!

I would really appreciate some help. I got a friend of a friend to do it the first time but I don’t want to bother him if a could manage to do it on my own. Any help is greatly appreciated.
