PSP Custom Firmware 6.20 Mad-002 Released; Sorta Kinda… *Updated*

greg | February 12, 2010

Update: Oh, and 003… It’s a fake too. Don’t bother.


Update: Furthermore, Sorrow says it via the comments, “It isn’t corrupted… But when I run it, it says checking ms0 for 630 EBOOT, and it just keeps checking…”, which backs up DiGi-C’s claim concerning Mad-001. So as I see it, 5.00 M33: it’s a never ending EBOOT check, and 5.50 GEN-D3: it’s corrupt. They didn’t even get the EBOOT name right.


Update: I guess I’m not the only one with the corrupt EBOOT, so says pspgen. Mind you: I don’t believe it’ll brick your PSP as it doesn’t even run. For now I’d file this under F for fuck’s sake. The download has also been disabled for the time being.


Well, it’s released all right… Whether it works — that’s a whole different ball game. I’ve been paying close attention to the news surrounding Custom Firmware 6.20 Mad, and just now: 6.20 Mad-002 was released. Sadly the update EBOOT is corrupt, at least for me it is… Nice try I guess. Anyone else?

  1. Download the 6.20 firmware EBOOT below.
  2. Rename that to 620.PBP and copy it to the root of your memory stick.
  3. Download 6.20 Mad-002 below and copy that EBOOT to your PSP/GAME/UPDATE folder.
  4. Run it. If it isn’t corrupt.

This supposed custom firmware is for PSP-1000 and PSP-2000 non-TA088v3 models only. Please use with caution; you may want to ready your Pandora battery and Magic Memory Stick too.

    • Lector2 says:

      Good, you removed the source pspcustomfirmware dot com is the most ugly, full of adverts (More than this site!) noob psp there is. They always post fake BS. Greg you should learn and ignore the shit pspcustomfirmware dot com posts.

      Its the WORST psp site in the world lol

  2. Sorrow says:

    I´ll give it a try……

  3. Dean Gullberry says:

    If this is real, I’ll eat the nearest inanimate object.

    (I think the nearest inanimate object will be just fine.)

  4. alex says:

    DO NOT TRY THIS YET, DO NOT TRY THIS YET, DO NOT TRY THIS YET!!!!!!!!
    full” version is released on Valentines Day

    • sh!t from a bull says:

      yeah right like it’s gonna work on valentine’s day…

      yeah right like my girlfriend will let me work on my psp on valentine’s day
      *I hear: ”DAMN RIGHT!!” that comes from behind me, as i was mumbling stuff she overheard and came looking at what i was doing… busted!*

      but anyway… fukin’ fakin’ fakers… of course it doesn’t work… meh.

    • Alex says:

      good its been leaked coz we can let the creator know whats good and whats bad with it…in terms of bugs and that.

  5. alex says:

    wont work on gos and v3 mobos..

  6. DiGi-C says:

    I tried 001 last night and it turned out to be nothing more than a than eboot check spoof, so I’m not holding hopes for this either. Stranger things have happened however…

    5 minutes into trying this and it seems its the same thing.

    I love the fact the boards are alive and there’s new interest in the PSP again but seriously these fakers are gonna kill it pretty quickly at this rate =/

  7. 5h4d0w says:

    V0003 lol http://uploaded.to/file/m1uw16

    and then tomorrow will be a 0004 then 005 then a month later we are at 777 and then he people finally stop covering all new custom firmwares.

    • 5h4d0w says:

      *forgot to backspace “he”*

      • 5h4d0w says:

        Well, I’m gonna try it. I’ve got a pandora battery anyways.

        • 5h4d0w says:

          HOLY SHIT! IT FORMATTED MY MEMORY STICK! DO NOT USE THIS!

          “CFW 6.20Mod-003″ (Yes, MOD not MAD)
          “Delete All files…….”

          Then BOOM all my games/saves/songs/movies are gone.

          Good thing I put this on my old 8GB and not my 32GB!

    • inuyasha55 says:

      WARNING ABOUT THIS CRAP FILE!!!

      This is an OBVIOUS scam and will cause damage to your computer, README isn’t spelled right and it says you have to open start.exe. DON’T RUN THIS!!!

  8. Big-E says:

    has anyone installed this new cfw?

  9. anon says:

    Conspiracy Theory:

    Sony had a hand in this fake release to trick people into wiping ripped ISOs and homebrew from their memory sticks.

    Booo Sony!

  10. inuyasha555 says:

    This doesn’t format your memory card… your just an idiot and pressed “Format” instead of dragging the file. :/

    • anon says:

      Thanks for your observation, though it’s inaccurate as I’ve not used my PSP in weeks. I’ve simply been reading the comments and posts of others.

      Like this one:

      “Comment by 5h4d0w
      2010-02-12 19:07:25

      IT FORMATTED MY MEMORY STICK! DO NOT USE THIS!

      “CFW 6.20Mod-003″ (Yes, MOD not MAD)
      “Delete All files…….”

      Then BOOM all my games/saves/songs/movies are gone.

      Good thing I put this on my old 8GB and not my 32GB!”

  11. SgtPlatypus says:

    That’s wierd cause here it says “Rename OFW eboot.pbp to 630.pbp”
    http://pspcustomfirmware.com/features/psp-custom-firmware-6-20-mad-002-download.htm

    • inuyasha55 says:

      Yes, that’s how the custom updates work. You change the name of an official eboot and the files are ripped or something.

      But 6.30, another sign of SCAM.

  12. fishneck says:

    u have to rename it from eboot.pbp to 630.pbp
    dang it…

  13. 4N4L-L0V3R says:

    Just tried here, it works like a charm.

    If the propose was doing nothing, it is perfect! =D

  14. DrBaronVonEvilSatan says:

    i’m on 5.50GEN-D3 and i get the infinite check.
    psp-2001 16gib sony ms, cxmb + sh-06a

  15. luther349 says:

    look i know everyone whats a new cfw. but the name alone gives it away as a fake mad lol. its sceners pissed at th fact theirs no new cfw. but theirs light at the end of this. point is the new dumper works and a new cfw can be made. it also proves to gen by how quick the sites comments exploded there dead wrong abought people having no interest in 6x.

  16. the truth says:

    TEAM GEN IS FRENCH PUSSYS! just like all french.

  17. Contagioncode says:

    From what I hear is this is only a DEMO. Program run even without pbp in MS root. The text file created may translate to “this is fake”. See you Sunday-Love all.

  18. i hope says:

    he doesn’t release it to you fuck bags.. you guys don’t deserve it.

  19. earlouie says:

    Excuse me, I know I am in the wrong place but there is something bothering me. Now that psardumper for PSP FW 6.00 – 6.20 has been released, it means that you can dump all the files on 6.20 to your psp right?

    Just one question, if you put all the decrypted files of 6.20 to your psp 5.50-GEND3′s f0, will your psp be 6.20? Is it possible to play ISO’s?

    sorry for being noob.

    • 5h4d0w says:

      No, because the keys would be wrong. I tried doing the same thing a while ago but just with the PSN PRX’s to try to play online. My PSP couldnt do anything PSN-Related after that. Even if I clicked on the XMB icon; It just sat there and did nothing.

  20. saburota says:

    People are saying that this program creates a txt file that pretty much states it’s a Valentine’s joke (written in Japanese) and it won’t be done. The way I figure, it’s a joke-rip and not really the CFW we’re expecting… or it’s the actual CFW that’s fake and the creator wanted to play a V-Day joke on us all.

  21. ft3 says:

    well i dun this and all i care about now is that i now have socom ftb3 online , when i couldnt b4

  22. Decius says:

    “For now I’d file this under F for fuck’s sake.”

    Lol. The funniest thing about that post xD

    What do you expect when a noobie comes into the sceen with nothing to show, Obviously a CFW in their works isn’t actually going to work ;)

    lol, but it did brighten up my day about this site ;D

  23. ßlade says:

    I just installed it as said above and worked good for me clean install and reboot no problems
    and i’m using a psp-1001 thanks for download

  24. Kona_Kona says:

    save file gone -kurosu

  25. faizan says:

    does this work yes or no and is it a fake

  26. Kona_Kona says:

    if you change 620 to 630 then run the updeter don’t let it stay or don’t use ITTTT!!!!
    it has the probability to destroy or corrupt your memstick or the stuff inside it…
    well it’s fine with cuz i used a 1gb memstick its
    OLD…
    gudluck guys…

  27. faizan says:

    i have a fat psp i am on 5.50 GEN-D3. Would this work for me.

    please someone tell me thanks.

  28. faizan says:

    is there any video proof that this actualy works.

  29. luther349 says:

    well being you cant brick a pandora. even if you did you can unbrick with it. someone needs to translate the Japanese file and tell us the joke they played on us.

  30. DONT NEED TO KNOW says:

    a lot of people on this site are writing anything. but no one is answering the question most people want to know which is. does it work YES OR NO?

  31. BCH says:

    Try it if you backup your files and have access to a pandora/mms (1000/2000). Otherwise don’t touch this “CFW” with a ten foot pole. I’m preferential to a ten foot pole personally, even with access to a pandora.

  32. mark says:

    omg greg just change the title to bring back dax…. and tiki barber lool ok fine just dax, that should get us closer to a newer firmware then all these noob nobody’s.

  33. A God. says:

    The problem with the corrupt icon is not with 5.50. It is the name of the folder the update is in. It cannot be named UPDATE unless it is in the Game5XX folder. Also, if you have the version.txt enabled it will always say “error!” as it checks for the 620.pbp(“630.pbp”). I have it running right now on my test PSP (5.50Gen D-3). No progress yet, but patience is a virtue. I’ll update y’all once I find out if it works or not with a straight YES or NO.

    Final word for now:

    If you want it to run, you need to

    1. Keep the folder structure as is when zipped(Mad-002) and place it in the GAME folder(or rename the folder to UPDATE and place it in the 5XX folder).

    2. Rename the 620.pbp to “630.pbp” and place it in the root of your memory stick.

    3. Disable the version.txt from the recovery menu.

    4. Run and be patient(runs on both 5.00M33-6 and 5.50Gen).

    5. Let us know with a yes or no if it works at all.

  34. faizan says:

    this is the beta release, the finished version comes out feb 14 at 2am our time uk , 4pm tokyo time, go to their website and see !!!

    • luther349 says:

      sure it will. and i did answer with who can read Japanese and tell us the prank they pulled. so working = no. it was a fake we got those alot back when dark alex was making cfw. and alot of bricked psp systems in those days being then we had no way to unbrick. i wouldn’t call team gen noobs they did a good job hacking up 5.50 to work with 6x stuff. can they do anything but mod darks work well so far its a no.

  35. Kojiro says:

    I tested on my silver slim psp, 6.20 mad-003 Said CFW 6.20 Mod-003, Deleting all files. And as i type this it is deleting my files apparently, i backed it up so it’s fine. But uhh.. Yeah.
    Sorry if my english is bad.

  36. Mavrick says:

    And here I had my hopes up thinking, FINALLY something to do on my psp. Sadly, a let down.

    As much as I would love to hate japan in general for this fake firmware, their women are way to hot to hate.

  37. faizan says:

    has this acctualy worked for anyone

  38. Brian says:

    No, it just formats everyone’s memory sticks.

  39. faizan says:

    so then is this a complete fake and it hasnt worked for any one

  40. Bearmon says:

    PSP hacks should remove the link to prevent from the problem.

  41. luther349 says:

    they did remove the link days ago. only the think to the original firmware is up.

  42. Osvir says:

    As a tip for the future. One can always try the harmless method first (i.e the existing PSP emulators pcsp and jpscp). When I ran this EBOOT I got the same thing as Digi-C, even got the log as well.

    Although I doubt pcsp or jpcsp is as good as the REAL thing (a real PSP that is), it still could serve as a safety net. In some occasions.

  43. Yi says:

    how dissapointing. this could have been the greatest hack since team GEN’s release

  44. luther349 says:

    well we have a dumper its just a matter of someone talented enough to make a 6x cfw. and trust me its no easy task.

  45. Yi says:

    i know, its like reverse engineering the code.

  46. Sony is doing a fantastic job guarding the go right now from custom firmware, When it does get hacked there are alot on craigslist im going there and im getting one, as for now it’s still gameimformer top fail of 2009 and it worked hard for that spot

    • Alex says:

      I downloaded a differnt kind of update but it says its the same thing, cant remember where but in the UPDATE file it had 2 files, the eboot and another file that had four letters in its name, i cant remember but it didnt need the 630.PBP or anything on the root, i started it in a pap fat gen 5.50 d3 final and it came up as mad-002 and i loaded it and it said it cant install coz my firmware is 9.90 already, so i downgraded to 3.71-4 and did it and it loaded up YAY and ohh…i got this error sgt90000001 after i press O i can see for 1 second that it is a 6.20 update and it looks EXACTLY the same as a normal psp original firmware upgrade looks like. and then it reboots. :( anyway this error code normaly happen when the eboot is edited in some wrong way, can anyone plz provide any more info for me plz or try it out?

      • doga says:

        err NO this is FAKE and any attempts at bothering with it is just a WASTE of time

        just forget it and wait for something else

  47. m@g1k says:

    well, good thing i have the new SOCOM Fireteam BRAVO 3 to keep me occupied until they fix this new thing for the PSP! Keep up the good work fellows!

  48. faizan says:

    i totally agree with doga maybe GEN will make something

  49. luther349 says:

    not only do you gotta reverse engineer everything you gotta brake the new encryption and add shit like a iso loader. its a pain.

    • luther349 says:

      and being da didn’t give out any info on how he does this before he left the scene new teams are forced to start from scratch.

  50. Mavrick says:

    Is there a website other than this one that gives PSP scene news instead of fake firmwares and bullshit stories on how cool someone is cause they have a exploit that will be patched long before its releases. psp-hacks used to be a great place, now its full of bullshit and im moving on.

    • JohnnyWadd says:

      well would you rather download it, install it, brick your psp then go, “aw man, i wish i had known this was a fake before hand.” it’s called a warning. it’s fake. user beware type stuff. its informative and good info. dont be stupid

      • Mavrick says:

        No where in the article description does it say ‘this is a fake’. These fucking articles lately have been about how awesome someone is because they have a super-secret exploit that everyone fucking knows about. The article should be about a confirmed fake firmware, and to avoid it, not about how ‘this could be real but it crashes’.

        Fuck, maybe something will come out of that latest ps3 exploit and i’ll have a reason to dig out some of the old 1TB hdd’s i have in the closet.

  51. luther349 says:

    its not the websites fault that the home brew community blew its self up without da.

  52. najuto9tail says:

  55. Taki says:

    hahaha I sell my stupid PSP week ago. This CFW shits, fakers and etc. piss me off and i sell it! Now i use my PS3! Is unhackable and much more fun, buy games and play it. No more plugins ,CFW’s and etc.

  56. kunal says:

    can i use this hack on my new psp 3004 with firm ware 6.10 if yes plese tell me the steps

  57. Guest0204 says:

    Sorry if this is kind of late and a bit off, but out of curiosity i got this one by opening “help.html” (in notepad) from the fake Mad-003 zip file:

    “http://default.uploda.biz/?help”
    (this was a “href” typed inside the HTML file; if you open the file in a browser, you’ll see a “help” hyperlink linking to the above site)

    As i went to the site i saw a bunch of IP addresses (including mine, in red) with Queries, Path and some numbers (i think ports) marked as “CLOSED”. =\

    Might be bad. Don’t go to that site as it will log your IP. I was just wondering why they linked that site to the fake CFW and what harm can it possibly do.

  58. xfri says:
