u need to go to 3.52m33-4 first... u can follow mine if u want to... or use flash's or use recovery flasher v1.6

3.52M33
run these installers from with 1.5 kernal mode set.(hold R trigger when starting psp to enter recovery menu, enter config, set game homebrew kernal to 1.5)

Once at 3.52M33, install Update #4, here:
http://calo-hacks.com/downloads/cust...3-Update-4.zip


5.00m33-6
run these installers from with 3.xx kernal mode set.(hold R trigger when starting psp to enter recovery menu, enter config, set game homebrew kernal to 3.xx)

-first download this file

http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/1568

-extract it

-after extracting it, u will get a 5.00 official firmware eboot.

-rename it as 500.PBP

-then download this link below

http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/1646

-extract it

-u will get a update folder

-put the 500.PBP in that update folder

-connect ur psp to pc via usb cable or card reader

-put the update folder in PSP/GAME/

-run it from the xmb, thats all



then after upgrading to 5.00m33-6,

format flash1 and reset settings by going to recovery menu ( turn ur psp off fully (not in sleep mode) and then hold R button and turn it on) it will go to recovery menu, then go to advance and klik format flash1 and reset settings (this wont harm ur psp, will only reset ur settings))

u need to set ur iso loader and boost ur cpu speeds...

To do so, enter VSH menu press select button from xmb) then scroll down and set umd mode/iso loader to SONY NP9660(The Best!)
Next, boost ur cpu speeds in game and xmb to 333/166(in VSH menu), this will not harm ur psp(only uses battery up a little faster)(Wifi card can become hot if used for long periods @ this speed)
Also, format memstick to delete unneeded install files and create folder structure...

it was and it still is on 1.5 kernal mode set.. i still can't upgrade from 3.40oe-a to 3.52m33 this comes up all the time 'this update doesn't aplly to this frimware or it has alredy been applied' upgrading to 5.00m33 isn't a problem i just need to get by the 3.52 update thats playing tricks on my mind right now!

Hello, I am currently running 3.52 m33-4 on a phat psp and trying to get to 5.00 m33-6.
I have downloaded 500.pbp and put it in the update file (which is in the psp/game folder).
When I start the program it says unpacking...done then please wait, this is where I am stuck, well it has just said please wait for 20+ minutes. Is this regular?
Thanks
-KamZhiYii

edit: +1 hour now


Edit 2: nevermind, it seems that my kernel was still on 1.5
