Installing and using Despertar del Cementerio

[MannyM]

Hi guys, i'm in need of a bit of help.

I have a PSP Phat with 3.90M33 CFirmware. I followed the tutorial on the first post of this thread, and all went well through to step 10. Assuming my Pandora battery and 'magic stick' were complete, I put the battery and memory stick into my mates PSP (slim), but nothing happened. IT turned on automatically, but nothing came up asking me to restore to 1.50. Thinking I missed a step, I put the battery and stick back into my Phat PSP, and it came on with the Pandora menu to restore the battery (square), restore the firmware or backup something. I chose to restore the battery, which it attempted, but it could not find the nand-backup file. I had a look, and it wasn't there. I don't know what happened, but I definitely chose to back it up during the whole process. Anyway, I downloaded a nand-backup file from the net, and tried to restore it, this time it telling me that it worked successfully, however, turning my PSP on again just kept bringing up the same Pandora menu. I then wasn't sure what to do next, so I formatted my memory card thinking it could have been files on my stick that kept bringing the menu up... but once I did this, my PSP just sits there with a black screen. The power turns on automatically, but it gives me no menu, no option to do anything... just like it was doing on the slim.

I'm assuming i've bricked it now..., so can anyone help me restore it, or does it look like I just need to buy a new battery???

***EDIT***

I've also just tried another PSP Phat battery in my PSP, and the power light comes on, but the screen remains black for about 5-10 seconds. Then it turns itself off. Bricked?

The memory stick is fine in any other PSP.

You made the stick wrong try this guide instead

To recreate the stick, wouldn't I need another working Phat with CFW?

Is there any way to recreate the stick using my PC?

Also, my battery looks like it's working as a Pandora battery, it's doing everything it should do as a Pandora battery, but then why would my PSP also not work if I have a different normal Phat battery in it??

Thank you

*Open Cmd window ( Start > RUN > CMD )
*Type in the following command "CD C:\" (note: with-out quote mark) HIT enter
*it should take you to -----> C:\>
*type the following command "mspformat\mspformat.exe X" ( where X=psp drive letter) note: NO quotation

Everything is working verbatim EXCEPT this part! I'm not familiar with dos commands. I keep typing it in EXACTLY as I'm supposed to and I keep receiving error messages

I keep receiving the following message:

"mspformat\mspformat.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

You didn't write the ipl to the memory stick. As for the Slim problem, you didn't run the Despertar Cementerio install correctly.

Hi. I have a phat psp with 3.90 m33 installed. My friend has a slim with 3.90 official. So I am willing to help him install 3.90 m33. So far I've read this tutorial about making the pandora battery and memory stick. It's quite self explanatory. But I don't know what to do after I convert my battery and stick and installing the cfw to the slim. How am I gonna change my stuff back to normal so I can use them to my psp? Thanks in advance.

use hellcat's installer to convert them back to normal then reformat the ms using your psp.

Here's where I get confused. In the tut it says that if i insert pandora battery and the stick into the psp then despertar del Cementario boots. So how am I gonna turn my battery back to normal if i can't run hellcat's installer? The installer will be inside the memstick. If I use the mestick with the slim's battery i will have hellcat installer but not the pandora battery to convert it. If I use pandora battery and the memstick I will not have the installer because despertar will autostart. That's what I've understood by the tut. Something's probably wrong in my assumption, so any help would be appreciated. The only way I can think of right now, is have hellcat's installer into 2 seperate memory sticks and one of them not formatted for pandora.

Edit : One other thing. When you put hellcat's installer in the memstick and then choose repartition and format the stick, the format procedure doesn't mean that the installer gets deleted from the stick?

Ok, since nobody replied i tried it and i completed it successfully. Nice tutorial :P

This is the best tut ever
it works
i just have a quick question
i made my pandora batery a normal battery by pressing []
i had backed up my battery info before i made it to pandora
i recognized that the serial changed when i pressed []
when i launched helcats pandora installer again there was a message at the bottom that said ms0:/batser.bin founf- use R+[] to set this serial
and that looked my battery serial number before
i pressed R+[] and now my battery serial came back to the original thing (i think0
was I supposed to do this?
