In the following I will write a detailed guide on how to update your PSP to the newest hackable Firmware and how to install the newest (Light) Custom Firmware.
This will not be a fancy guide. Don't await any fancy graphics, this will be a simple text guide with a few screenshots to help you.

Foreword:
This guide will be divided into 5 parts. A Custom Firmware for Firmware 6.20, one for Firmware 6.35 and one for Firmware 6.39. I also added the downgrading option for the people who want to have the permanent 6.20. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PSP. This tutorial was created by me, but every program in this thread was created by others.

Differences between 6.20 PRO, 6.35 PRO and 6.39 PRO:
The main difference between those two is, that the 6.20 PRO can be installed permanently. That means, if you turn off the PSP, that it is still installed. The 6.35 PRO and 6.39 PRO can only be installed temporarily and will be erased as soon as you turn off your PSP. This is due to the new checks that were build in the 6.35. A permanent patch for it would require a lot of work. If a permanent patch for 6.35 get's released, I will update this thread to reflect the new changes. The compatibility should be nearly or exactly the same for backups, homebrew and plugins. The 6.20 PRO can't be installed permanently on every PSP. Some new models of the PSP 3000 (9g) doesn't allow you to install it permanently. On this PSP's, you can only install the 6.20 PRO temporarily or the 6.35 PRO 9g is limited to PSP 3000, so if you have a PSP 1000, 2000 or Go, you don't need to worry about it.

Information about 9g's:
Newer PSP 3000 models come with Firmware 6.35. They have the modelnumber 9g and new drivers. These PSP's can't be downgraded to 6.20 (DON'T TRY IT, YOU WILL RECEIVE A BRICK) and you can't install the 6.20 PRO permanently to the PSP. If you have a PSP 3000 and installed your PRO, always look into the System Information and notice what g you have. If your g is something else than 9, you can downgrade and install the 6.20 PRO permanently. If your PSP is 9g, you can only install the Custom Firmwares temporarily.

Advantages:
The PSP Scene developed a lot. We came a long way from downgraders, different Exploits and the discovery of the Pandora Battery. Today, we can put a Custom Firmwares on our PSP with very small effort. Old Custom Firmwares were mostly limited to older Firmwares that were patched very fast. Today, things like the easy install of Custom Firmwares are possible due to signed eboots. In my opinion, these new Custom Firmwares are better then the old Custom Firmwares. They are much easier to install and games that needed patches to work on old Custom Firmwares, work without problems now.


Meet the requirements:
First, you need to know on what Firmware you are right now.
To do this, turn on your PSP,scroll all the way to the left and scroll down until you see the System Settings and press X. Scroll down again until you see the System Information and press X again.

There are 3 points right now
System Software: X.XX
Nickname:
MAC Address:

If your System Software is lower than 6.35 or is exactly 6.35, this tutorial can help you on your way to homebrew.

Next you download the PSP Module Checker, put it on your PSP's memorystick and run it. It shows what kind of PSP you have (only important for PSP 3000, others can be ignored). If your PSP has 9g, you can't install the 6.20 permanent and can't downgrade to 6.20. PSP's with 9g can only be downgraded to 6.35 to run the 6.35 PRO or the 6.39 PRO (without the need of downgrading).


Now comes the most important part. If you want the 6.20 Custom Firmware, which can be installed permanently, please look at the first part. If your Firmware is over 6.20, but under or exactly 6.35, you can install the 6.35 Light Custom Firmware. For this, look at the second part. I reflected the installation of the 6.39 one on the third part.

THIS IS FOR 6.20​

What you need:
Firmware 6.20 (PSP Go)
Firmware 6.20 (PSP 1000, 2000 and 3000)
6.20 PRO-B9
A memory stick with enough space/enough space on your PSP Go.


If your Firmware is below 6.20:
Download the 6.20 update. It comes as an EBOOT.PBP, if not, rename it this way. Connect your PSP to your Computer and copy the EBOOT.PBP into the folder PSP/GAME/UPDATE. This means that you create these folders, if they are not presented. When you open your PSP, there should be a folder called PSP, inside should be a folder called GAME, inside the folder should be a folder called UPDATE. If one of these folders are not presented, just create them. Copy your downloaded EBOOT.PBP in the UPDATE folder. It should look like this:

When it looks like this, just turn your PSP on, go to the memory stick and start the UPDATE. Follow the explanation and your PSP is updated to Firmware 6.20.


If your Firmware is 6.20 and you want to install the Custom Firmware permanently:
The permanent patch is only installable if you have a PSP belog 9g. Trying to install the permanent patch on a PSP 9g will brick the PSP. To know what g you have, install the 6.20 PRO-B6 (but not the permanent patch) and look into the system information. At the very bottom, you can see what g you have. Download the 620PRO-B9.rar I linked above. Extract the RAR File (if you don't know what I mean, google for Winrar and Install it.) and copy the folders
PROUPDATE and 620PRO_Permanent
inside your PSP/GAME folder. If they are not present on your PSP, create a folder called PSP, and inside, create a folder called GAME inside it and copy these two folders inside it. If you have a PSP 3000, you should look into the System Information now. On the screenshot above, you can see that your Xg is listed at the bottom of the information. If you have 9g, then you are finished now. You can only install it temporarily on the 3000 9g. If your g is not 9g, you can process onward. After you installed the PROUPDATE, run the Permanent Patch and Press X and after you read the brick warning, press X again.

If your Firmware is 6.20 and you want to install the Custom Firmware temporarily:
Download the 620PRO-B9.rar I linked above. Extract the RAR File (if you don't know what I mean, google for Winrar and Install it.) and copy the folders
PROUPDATE and FastRecovery (FastRecovery starts the Custom Firmware again if you turned your PSP off. Just needs a few seconds)
inside your PSP/GAME folder. If they are not present on your PSP, create a folder called PSP, and inside, create a folder called GAME inside it and copy these two folders inside it.

This is how your folder should look like after extracting the file you downloaded above:

Copy the correct folders I stated above on your PSP.

Turn your PSP on and go to the memory stick. Start the PRO Update.

The Firmware should install automatically. If not, hold L and press X.

After you started the PROUPDATE on 6.20, start the Permanent Patch to install your 6.20 permanently. When you start it, press X, read the brick warning and press X again. After the PSP restarted, start the permanent patch again and press X and the O. Now it will be installed.

THIS IS FOR 6.35​

What you need:
Firmware 6.35 (PSP Go)
Firmware 6.35 (PSP 1000, 2000 and 3000)
6.35 PRO-B9
A memory stick with enough space/enough space on your PSP Go.


If your Firmware is below 6.35:
Download the 6.35 update. It comes as an EBOOT.PBP, if not, rename it this way. Connect your PSP to your Computer and copy the EBOOT.PBP into the folder PSP/GAME/UPDATE. This means that you create these folders, if they are not presented. When you open your PSP, there should be a folder called PSP, inside should be a folder called GAME, inside the folder should be a folder called UPDATE. If one of these folders are not presented, just create them. Copy your downloaded EBOOT.PBP in the UPDATE folder. It should look like this:

When it looks like this, just turn your PSP on, go to the memory stick and start the UPDATE. Follow the explanation and your PSP is updated to Firmware 6.35.

If your Firmware is 6.35:
Download the 635PRO-B9.rar I linked above. Extract the RAR File (if you don't know what I mean, google for Winrar and Install it.) and copy the folders
PROUPDATE and FastRecovery (FastRecovery starts the Custom Firmware again if you turned your PSP off. Just needs a few seconds)
inside your PSP/GAME folder. If they are not present on your PSP, create a folder called PSP, and inside, create a folder called GAME inside it and copy these two folders inside it.

This is how your folder should look like after extracting the file you downloaded above:

Copy the correct folders I stated above on your PSP.

If your Firmware is below 6.39:
Download the 6.39 update. It comes as an EBOOT.PBP, if not, rename it this way. Connect your PSP to your Computer and copy the EBOOT.PBP into the folder PSP/GAME/UPDATE. This means that you create these folders, if they are not presented. When you open your PSP, there should be a folder called PSP, inside should be a folder called GAME, inside the folder should be a folder called UPDATE.

When it looks like this, just turn your PSP on, go to the memory stick and start the UPDATE. Follow the explanation and your PSP is updated to Firmware 6.39.

If your Firmware is 6.39:
Download the 639PRO-B9.rar I linked above. Extract the RAR File (if you don't know what I mean, google for Winrar and Install it.) and copy the folders
PROUPDATE and FastRecovery (FastRecovery starts the Custom Firmware again if you turned your PSP off. Just needs a few seconds)
inside your PSP/GAME folder. If they are not present on your PSP, create a folder called PSP, and inside, create a folder called GAME inside it and copy these two folders inside it.

The Firmware should install automatically. If not, hold L and press X.

DOWNGRADE FROM 6.3x TO 6.20/6.35​

What you need:
The downgrader
Firmware 6.20 (PSP Go)
Firmware 6.20 (PSP 1000, 2000 and 3000)
or
Firmware 6.35 (PSP Go)
Firmware 6.35 (PSP 1000, 2000 and 3000)
A memory stick with enough space/enough space on your PSP Go.

If your Firmware is 6.3x:
Download the Downgrader I linked above. Check your PSP with the Module Checker posted at the top. Is your PSP a 9g ? Copy the 6.35 Firmware I linked above to X:\PSP\GAME\UPDATE\EBOOT.PBP (X is for your Drive Letter, the Firmware itself should be named EBOOT.PBP. If not, rename it). Every other g can be downgraded to 6.20, so use the 6.20 Update instead. Copy the folder PSP that you've extracted from the Downgrader to your Memorystick and overwrite the folder.

When you've set up your Stick like this, run the downgrader! from the PSP Menu (not the PSP Update). Wait a bit and the Update should start. Install it like a normal Update and after restarting, your PSP should be on Firmware 6.20 or 6.35. Support for every PSP and Generation has been added. You can downgrade every PSP out there with this downgrader. Newer PSP 3000 with 9g and 7g only can be downgraded to 6.35. If your PSP came with 6.35, it can be downgraded to 6.35, but not to 6.20.



How to use Homebrew and Backups of your PSN Games and UMD's:
Backups of your PSP Games go into the folder ISO. If it is not there, create it.
Homebrews come as a EBOOT.PBP file in a folder. Copy this folder into the PSP/GAME folder.
PSN Stuff also goes into the PSP/GAME folder.



Congratulations, now you have a Custom Firmware on your PSP. I hope that my tutorial helps you and shows you the wonderful world of homebrew. If you have any questions or have any improvements for my tutorial, please message me. I am eager for your experiences with this tutorial. Many many thanks to Coldbird and VFlame. They are the creators of this superb Custom Firmwares. It is really one of my favorites. I can understand all the people who'd like their GEN and M33 firmwares, but sometimes you just got to change a running system to make things better

when you open the memorystick, create a folder called ISO directly in the first path. Dont open any folders, just create the folder ISO directly on the memorystick.

If your PSP is for example E: on your Computer, the folder is E:\ISO

All your ISOs and CSOs go into this folder and can be started from the psp xmb.

Hi everyone. I have a psp 1001 with 5.00 m33-6 CFW.
Wich of all the recent CFW's is the best? Wich one hsould i upgrade to?
Is it better to have a full or light install?
Any special tools needed?

Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

[hunter291]

The coders of the pro firmwares have announced that a popsloader will be released. That makes this firmware a worthy opponent to the older cfw's. the most arguments against it were the missing popsloader. in my opinion, this cfw is the best one. it is for you to decide if you want it permanently installed. if you turn your psp in standby either way, I would say the 6.39 one. all the tools you need are in this thread. just read every step carefully and everything should work fine.

EDIT: The popsloader is out

Grab it at

http://code.google.com/p/popsloader/downloads/list

Enjoy. Will update the guide with the information when I have time

 

[Wesker623]

Hi Hunter291.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm hesitating between these two CFW's.

6.39 ME-7: http://pspslimhacks.com/lcfw-6-39-me-7/com.../#comment-73379
6.39 PRO-B7: http://pspslimhacks.com/6-39-pro-b7-custom...-hackable-2000/

Wich one do you think is better? Well according to your post the PRO seems the best one but still i just can't decide.
Have a nice day.

 

[xist]

Just use PRO.

Hi Hunter291.
Thanks for the quick reply.

6.39 ME-7: http://pspslimhacks.com/lcfw-6-39-me-7/com.../#comment-73379
6.39 PRO-B7: http://pspslimhacks.com/6-39-pro-b7-custom...-hackable-2000/

Wich one do you think is better? Well according to your post the PRO seems the best one but still i just can't decide.
Have a nice day.

PRO-B7 is DEFINITELY better than ME. FYI Neuron (the guy who made ME) even chipped in and helped make PRO-B7, so some of his features and such are incorporated into PRO already. I (and everyone) will suggest PRO-B7 as the modern standard.

 

[Wesker623]

Ok thanks everyone for the quick replies.
Then i'll go with PRO.
Nice day to everyone.

EDIT: Installed 6.39 OFW over 5.00 M33-6. Had a panic attack over a blue screen stating configuration data corrupted. It fixed itself by pressing (O).
Proceeded with the PRO B-7 installation for it to be permanent. Now i'm having some issues:
- Gamesaves from Bleach Heat The Soul 7 and DBZ Tenkaichi Tag Team can't be loaded anymore, saying they are corrupted.
- Got latest popsloader, isn't of any use since all my ps1 eboots are working without it, exept Resident Evil 2, wich i could use on 5.00 M33-6 with some fixes, the said fixes does not work anymore, namely the pops wich doesn't do anything, exept sending me back to XMB with a error ''80000004''.
(If using a pops under 4-5.XX it send me back, and using highter either keeps a black screen or do nothing after PS screen)

Aside from these all my homebrew, emulators and stuff work just like before. And everything in the XMB menu load instantly ^^

So if anybody experienced this or know a way to fix these two problems, help would be greatly appreciated.

Everybody have a nice day!

Can i downgrade this to 6.20 ? It's a red 3004 with date code 0C , TA-093 mb , 04g ?
Is there such a chart build by users with mb type - data code - bundle color and factory firmware or succesfully installed firmware ? Like they have for the Wii on wiidrives.com

Refer to this for the savegame problem:
http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=292351

For the popsloader to work you need the newest pro firmware (b8). I updated the tutorial. New downloadlinks for b8. Just update to the newer version. Next thing is, you need some special files from the single firmwares so that the popsloader uses them. Refer to the readme of the popsloader to see which files you need and get them yourself.

Version 4g can be downgraded to 6.20. Only the newer PSP 3000 can't be downgraded to 6.20. The most important thing is if the PSP had the 6.20 on it in the past. Every 4g should have had the 6.20. So (as far as I know) you can safely downgrade your PSP.

hey hunter291...your tutorial was really interesting and taught me a lot and made me understand a lot...im a newbie to this CFW and all but i want to learn....im having a PSP 3001 (bought in October 2008) with OFW 6.39 ...... and i used your module checker and mine is 03g ....i want to install a CFW on my PSP very badly!!!! is there any possibility i can do this without bricking it? can i directly install CFW 6.39 PRO-B8 or should i downgrade it first to 6.20/6.35 and will there be any problem while downgrading mine? Is it possible to install a CFW permanently or what path should i follow to install permanently?

And could u explain the differences between the various CFW available for 6.39 like 6.39 PRO-B, 6.39 TN-A HEN, 6.39 Team-Nom HEN, 6.39 ME-X or LME-X and others that i may have missed out? im soo confused and dont know what to install or which one is the best and most stable!! thanx in advance for ur help

[adtyn_1991]

@ars25 --thats good to know!! thanx ....so now do i just install the 6.39 PRO B-8 or should i downgrade and install 6.20 B-8? which one is more stable and compatible with most of the homebrew apps(or what are they called...sorry im new to all this)? and compared to the other 6.39 CFW's i mentioned earlier which one should i go with? whats the difference between them all?i want to keep them permanently.....whats the difference between permanent CFW and temporary anyways..i mean whats the loss in temp and what will come up when u restart ur psp in the temp ones?


and i heard that these Lite Custom Firmwares dont have as much compatibility with homebrews and PSX and some plug-ins unlike the full CFW's ........whats the difference between a LCFW and CFW??

they are booth the same except 6.20 is perma patchable to all psp from 1g-5 while 6.39 is only perma patchable to 1-some 2g and i think yours but downgrade to 6.20 b-8 to be safe and use the popsloader plugin to have better psx compatibility and hombrew is the same

 

[adtyn_1991]

@ars25---ok then i guess i'll go with a downgrade to 6.20 and then CFW 6.20 B-8.....i just have a few last questions...

1) what is a popsloader plugin?
2)what do u mean by psx and what does it do on the psp?does it have anything to do with the PSN??
3)do i have to install any other iso loader to play iso/cso games on 6.20 B-8 or will it have an iso loader built-in?
4)before i go ahead and install CFW 6.20 B-8, whats the difference between 6.39 PRO-B, 6.39 TN-A HEN, 6.39 Team-Nom HEN, 6.39 ME-X or LME-X, etc, etc.......


i hope u will answer all my above questions....and thanx for being soo helpful so far!!

1)popsloader is a plugin let's you load different version of pops.
2)psx is ps1 games, and can be converted to be psp compatible. and there are some psn version of psx/ps1 games.

that's all i know.

Don't know if this been asked before, but how do you install CWcheat this? I'm using the PRO for the 6,39 (it works perfect) but I really don't know how to install CWcheat so yeah...

 

[Deaga]

On the risk of sounding completely stupid, how do I run the Module Checker? I just acquired an alrady hacked PSP 3000, but it has the CFW 6.39. I want to know if I can downgrade it to 6.20, thus having a permanent hack, but since I'm all new to this, I actually just don't know how to run it. Big thanks in advance to whoever answers, and sorry for the dumb question. ._.

If you're on pro cfw you can just check the system info and it'll tell you what module you have

Oh, whoops, upon checking that, I noticed I actually have 6.39 LME-5. I just assumed it was PRO because I could run ISOs directly from the memory stick, and this thread states tha PRO does so. :/

In that case, do you recommend I switch over to PRO or leave it as is? Also, does this custom firmware wear off if I turn off the console? Since I thought I had 6.39 PRO, I haven't turned my PSP off yet.

Once again, thanks!
