Got this really old PSP-1000 yesterday. It's running a 4.01 M33-2 CFW. Should I follow "If you are currently on an older CUSTOM/HACKED firmware..." procedure and download a 4.01 clean OFW or the 5.00 clean OFW mentioned?

I'd like to suggest that you include the CIPL Flasher for fully hackable PSPs since I've seen in some threads people recommending 6.20 PRO-B10 to have permanent patch installed and the permanent patch isn't aimed for fully hackable PSPs.

Question, my PSP 2000 has 5.50 Pro-4 on it. I want to trade it in to gamestop (Since i still have my hacked GO, and am planning to get a Vita).

My question is can i just download an OFW update and install it? Or do i have to un-hack my PSP before i can do that (Like with Hellcat or something). Also, i dont have a Pandora battery nor any way to get a hold of one now.

Go into your flash0 and change your version.txt from the 9.90 it reads now to 5.50. Then just run the 6.60 OFW update.

Perm Patch beats CIPL due to the ability to boot into OFW by holding select, CIPL doesn't do that.

Trying to downgrade a PSP-3001 (TA-093 04g mobo) with ofw 6.60 to ofw 6.20
I'm getting a (CAAFFFFFCF7) error while using Chronoswitch Downgrader v5.

Is this downgradable or not?
For now I'm using cfw 6.60 PRO-B10.fix1.

Try using this downgrader:
http://filetrip.net/f26024-6-x-Downgrader-6-60.html

The Chronoswitch downgrader is for 09g models I think.

Make sure all of your plugins are turned off too.

Nope, still the same error even with both downgraders (4/4.1)
This psp already came with ofw 6.60 so there were no plugins.

Yes it's there (6.20). Unless the one from filetrip has issues.
Well according to the readme that's the correct directory.

The 6.20 from filetrip is good, I've used it.

Try resetting the system and launching the downgrader from OFW instead of PRO B10. Its signed so it should work.

If that doesn't work I don't know how to fix your problem. (consult with experts Xist and Rydian maybe? :P)

    I am trying to find someone with knowledge on that willing to help me
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I and Hayato warned him not to, but he won't listen
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa,
    I don't listen? What didn't I listen at? I just want to know all the possible risks on that part
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Hayato even said it's dangerous to backup the save files to CFW
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    how is this dangerous? A ton of people did this it's the most common thing to do with CFW
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Then do it
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    dude, whatever
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not trying to hate, I tried to help you in the switch noob thread by asking for you, but you don't want to accept the answers you got, so do whatever then.

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Man, first of all thanks for your willing to help, much appreciated. But, it's not that I "don't want to listen", rather than I need soemone to EXPLAIN to me how and why all these are risky.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Putting your dick in certain areas is always a risk
    +1
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    For example, HOW is is risky to get banned if you extract the save files to the CFW?
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    isn't this proccess be done while you're offline?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We are not Nintendo, so we don't know exactly how/why/when they ban, but better to stay on the safe side and not do shady stuff, if you don't want to be banned. Hayato is one of the most knowledgeable ones here on the subject and I believe what he says.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    300 bucks hmmm lol
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Yes ofc we don't know how Nintendo bans work, but if there are situations where a lot of people have tried safely then we can at least assume that this path is pretty much safe. To say don't try anything homebrew relative just to be safe forever is the easiest thing to say to someone. What I am trying to figure out here is with which cases and what actions got most of the people their bans for.
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Most things I can find resulting to a ban is save-editing reasons, like Pokehex, etc, and going online afterwards.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm almost certain fucking Google fibers modems blocking out PPPoE signals
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Like the 6th time I had to reboot this router trying to get PPPoE active
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Ken, your hamster inside it is hungry.
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Well, in that thread they say it's pretty much safe to manage save files back and forth to consoles as long as you don't go online with cheats activated or with a pirate game.
