Sedna for 5.03 GEN-A/B Released: Keep 5.03 GEN Active — Even After Rebooting!
greg | November 3, 2009
Vaseline won’t help the pain in your ass that is starting ChickHEN each and every time your PSP-3000 (or TA-088v3) is shutdown or rebooted — but Zer01ne’s Sedna will!
Simply install this plugin like you would any other and you’re set — no activation or manual intervention required… As soon as your PSP boots you’re homebrew and custom firmware enabled. However, by the looks of it, or at least what I’m lead to believe from the read me is that Sedna won’t always work: “Some Reboot/Shutdown is still executed despite the patches apply.”
That aside, Sedna does all this [French to English translated] stuff:
- Patch the Reboot of the PSP
- Patch the Shutdown of the PSP
- Hide UMD Update Icon
- Patch flash 0, 1, 2, 3 for USB access
- Redirecting the file version.txt to ms0:/PSP/SYSTEM/version.txt
- Patch the blit TIFF image “blit corrupted data for file with extension .tiff”
Download: Sedna for Custom Firmware 5.03 GEN-A/B
Thanks Paradigm. Much respect.

This is cool! Now to go buy a 3000 lol
Nigg* The 3000s better then the 2000! it’s just a matter of time & I have 3 psps
LOLWUT
PSP 3000? that a brite?
Finally great news!!
What I’ve been waiting for this for long ;DDDDD
I just hope it gets perfected :DDDDDD
:D;D
well guys i think may have done something wrong because i hard shut down my psp and well chickhen still need to be ran again so i don’t know if its me or just a bug but also reboot seems to work but hard shut down or battery removal does not
You should read the description for this, before posting :/
“However, by the looks of it, or at least what I’m lead to believe from the read me is that Sedna won’t always work: “Some Reboot/Shutdown is still executed despite the patches apply.””
I havent got a vsh.txt and game.txt in my seplugins folder ???
Then create them
bUT HOW PLZ TELL ME. CAUSE I ALSO WANT TO ENJOY THIS DAM THING.
Copied it on, will try on the train on my way home today!
it’s working!
don’t use the ultimate VSH menu by Total_Noob or just disable it.

hey cs, why do i have to disable ultimate vsh menu by Total_Noob?
I hope he ports it to CFWe (for those who don’t want to switch to GEN).
What if you install this plugin using CFWe? If it at least opens Chickhen…
I know this is not suppose to work everytime, but I cannot get this to work either
This just isn’t working for me. For some reason the plugin is taking my theme away and failing to load Gen-b after a hardboot 3 out of 3 times. I think I’ll wait around for something diferent.
you’re not supposed to reboot the device by holding the power button up for 3 seconds. It will DEFINITELY not retain your CFW.
what this thing only does is two:
1. REBOOT option VSH menu, and still retain your CFW.
2. SHUTDOWN option in VSH menu, instead of a real shutdown, it is replaced with just STANDBY, which means you will really be able to retain your CFW.
of course, it also patches tiff files and flash 0,1,2,3 in USB mode.
don’t really understand the function of this program
if this program can’t work after a real shutdown, what’s the use of this program?
You’re right. You’d have to be a total moron to select the “Reboot” and “Shutdown” options from the VSH menu (knowing you’ll have to go through ChickHEN again).
It’s usefull for people that use several plugins you can just restart your PSP to enable/disable the plugins and you don’t need to run the ChickHEN and patch the CFW again.
finaly a good ass pluging.. only if it woked consistently, hell yea. (i hope thay fix it) very useful for the people with the v3 mobo..
It worked (somewhat) for me :) Well, it’s better than nothing! ^_^
Really good job! But as I get it (being a plugin), it cannot help you in case of a power cycle (means battery runs dry or removal of battery). This will always go back to official. Still it’s very good that you can just reboot when you want without worrying about ChickHEN ;-)
yeah its working…wew! a big thanks for this.. btw, if you are using ultimate vsh menu by total noob disable it first then you are ready to go…
why does ultimate vsh menu have to be disabled??
if i really have to disable it FIRST, as you say, can i enable it after i installed SeDnA?
hey guys, just for those who are having problems with sedna, after enabling sedna in seplugins and having your psp in cfw(gen A/B), go to chickhen AGAIN and scroll down all the way to the TIFF image. After it loads up, the tiff image becomes UNSUPPORTED DATA and thats when you know its patched and sedna is running. :D
i dunno know…i have a psp 2000, when i enable the plugin it the tiff image becomes unsupported data but when i do a hard reboot it still doesn’t work :(
hey guys, am using the ULTIMATE VSH MENU by Total_Noob.
Any issues on that? i want to retain it and use Sedna at the same time. is it possible?
you can only use the shutdown option on the vsh menu (i think this only simulates a psp on standby). if you use the power button to shutdown the psp the patch wont work.
This does not work for me. Hangs.
Good effort though.
I do see great potential in this.
For now, manually enabling ChickHEN is much easier for me. I have been achieving 100% success rate enabling ChickHEN. Do not even need to delete EGGHUNT.BIN, wait for image to load etc..
i still can’t get it works,readme says copy this line ms0:/seplugins/Sedna.prx 1 in the file X:\seplugins\vsh.txt, X:\seplugins\game.txt
but the problem is i don’t have vsh.text n game.text file…..??
anyone can help plizz??
then create the text files namely “VSH.txt” and “GAME.txt”
put them inside seplugins folder and in EACH of the two text files write this:
ms0:/seplugins/Sedna.prx 1
hey . i disbaled the vsh menu by going to configuration then disbled VSHmenu. Am i doing right procedure? afta that the sedna things worked for me. then when i press the select button. the vsh menu won t show up coz i disbled it. the quest is how am supose to change e,g umd mode to m33 driver, or sony. where do i go to change that things while the vsh menu won show up. lols
that happened to me before. lol.
now your only option is to install Ultimate VSH Menu by Total_Noob if you are supposed to change umd/iso mode.
also the reason why i am not sure if i can install Sedna, because they say (and i want to know why) you have to disable Ultimate VSH Menu if you want to use Sedna.
THANK YOU XENOCERES…….thx alot mate………its works!!!..hahahahha….its much more easier to shutdown….
Haha idiot.. The plugin ultimate vsh menu by t0tal n0ob is the one you must disabled, n0t the built in vsh menu on gen..Lol
enteng, why should i disable Ultimate VSH Menu by Total_Noob?
what’s the technical issue with it and Sedna? i really have to know. thank you!
P.S.
pinoy ka ba?
I also didnt kn0w whats the real issue about sedna and ultimate vsh menu by t0tal n0ob, all i kn0w is sedna w0nt work if the ultimate vsh menu is enabled..
Yeah pin0y ako! Lol
do i have to download it the ultimate VSH menu?. or what
well according to enteng, you cant have both on your psp.
i suggest you get the Ultimate VSH menu, rather than Sedna. Ultimate VSH Menu will be more useful for you.
it says version.txt is redirected to ms0:/PSP/SYSTEM/version.txt but it isnt at least i cant find it. any one kno where it is?
So I’ll make sure I get this straight , you can only reboot and shut down via vsh menu so that the plugin works.and if you try to shut down hard way , the psp will go to standby. as shown in the video posted by cs , or I misunderstood something ?
cheers
bestyugiman
Man/All you Nigg*s be crying left&right..Shut the Fuc* up-bend over & accept it like i do damn.
Sure i accept how things are.
But i don’t “up-bend over”.
Keep those kind of information to yourself.
Well, maybe he’s a butt-pirate :/
hahahahahahahaha!!! a butt-pirate that’s funny.. sound like he takes it up the ass for everything as well.. stand up and fight dont be a little faget LOL!!!
Them white people be working hard yo.
like i said just accept it and take it Nigg*
okay guys. here’s how it works. i’ve posted this above already but for the sake of those who do not have patience to look for it:
You are NOT supposed to reboot the device by holding the power button up for 3 seconds. It will DEFINITELY NOT retain your CFW.
what this thing only does is two:
1. REBOOT option VSH menu, and still retain your CFW.
2. SHUTDOWN option in VSH menu, instead of a real shutdown, it is replaced with just STANDBY, which means you will really be able to retain your CFW.
of course, it also patches tiff files and flash 0,1,2,3 in USB mode.
Tested it myself. But, oh well, I’m not keeping it. because I want my Ultimate VSH Menu intact.
GrodX from socom FTB Fools!
Btw, i just want to add. it only works for GEN’s built-in VSH Menu. It will NOT work with Ultimate VSH Menu.
thx for the info xenoceres.
so, if i remove the battery and dont put it in the psp for a few days, it will remain hacked in 5.03 genb?
No. Now move along, keep reading.
So is shutdown device from the vsh menu the same as flicking the switch briefly to put it in sleep?
i dont think so.. when i chose “shutdown device” in the vsh menu and then charged my psp, it went from orange light to no light at all in the led (indicating it was a charge with the psp switched off). But im not so sure cos when i do choose “shutdown device” in the vsh menu and later flick the switch, it reboots without the “sont entertainment logo”… must be becaue sedna skips it or something?
the shutdown function in vsh menu, with sedna ENABLED, will just put your psp to sleep mode.
If you remove the battery or turn off your psp through holding the power button for a few seconds you will be back to 5.03 ofw. You can use the shutdown in vsh menu which does sleep instead. and you can use reboot device to reboot your psp and keep you in 5.03 gen-a.
I mean the reboot device thing in the vsh menu. Sorry I type very fast LOL!
I mean the reboot device thing in the vsh menu. Sorry I type very fast haha
You said that already.
A anybody like spicegirls?

NICE WORK btw….^_^
WHAT! this is useless then!
if can’t sUrviVe with a hard reboot

This is n0t…
A very very nasty and hard reboot? what are you doing to ur psp dude damn?
hmmm..

http://www.btmon.com/Games/Unsorted/PSP_PSP_145_Iso_Games.torrent.html
hmm… didn’t work for me. CFWenabler didn’t recognize the plugin. I got pissed at that, so I just got 5.50GEN-D.
Like it seems the cxmb doesn’t work with Sedna enabled at least it didn’t work for me. When I swap to a ctf theme the PSP crashed and when I was disabling Sedna it worked afterwards.
unable to remake my chicken after installing this why ?? pls help psp 3004!!!!
If you have made it this far down throught the comments:
A clarification as to what SEDNA does:
It patches any logical shutdown/reboot commands. If any software asks for a reboot, then this will stop that.
This plugin DOES NOT patch any hardware shutdowns. This includes:
– Battery running out
And this also does not include
Holding the power switch until it shuts down.
Do I have to flash or is it fine since I did it with Gen-A?
WOW THAT WAS NICE….^_^
GREAT JOB…..
HOPE U CAN HELP ME WITH MY PSP 3000 WITH VERSION 5.50 TNX
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK…^_^
