So the surprise was 6.20 PRO Permanent.....

 

[Rydian]

Haha, sweet.

 

[mechagouki]

So PRO-B4 can be used as a permanent stable CFW on fully-hackable PSPs?

 

[Snailface]

Coldbird is a rock star. (and I love how he signs off his blog posts with "Greetings")

So cool, that man is.

Spoiler: on the other hand . . .

Poor TN

 

[Rydian]

So PRO-B4 can be used as a permanent stable CFW on fully-hackable PSPs?Yup.
QUOTEInformations for Permanent Flash Users:

Pressing R while booting loads the recovery.
Pressing Select while booting loads OFW.
When applying the Permanent Patch, choose X on first question and O on second to install, two times X only tests whether your device is compatible with our Permanent Bootloader.

Model Generation Compatiblity:

6.20 Version works for 1g, 2g, 3g, 4g and 5g models.
6.35 Version works on all models up to 9g.

I'm definitely going to test this out...

 

[mechagouki]

I'm definitely going to test this out...

Please report back, preferably with some clearer installation instructions than they give - like, can I upgrade to this directly from 5.50 GEN-D3?

 

[Rydian]

You need to be on OFW 6.35 to use this.

I can't seem to get it to permanently install. Pressing X once does a temp install and reboots, there's no second prompt.

EDIT: Anybody tried the 6.20 version? Maybe it's something they forgot to put in the 6.35 one (or maybe 6.35 is meant for 3000s and such, and lacks the option). If nobody's tried it I'll try it.

 

[copy_zero]

The permanent install works fine on 6.20. Try installing it, using fast recovery and then using the permanent patch. If it doesn't work, try using the patch without running the test. It's kinda risky, but until I skipped the test, it would only reset it. Maybe a bug?

 

[gamecaptor]

What constitutes “6.20 Version works for 1g, 2g, 3g, 4g and 5g models”. I have a PSP-3001, so is that in the proper range? (I had no idea there was a model above the 3001)

The g refers to the motherboard model. PSP 3000s go up to 09g (so far). If you can run homebrew, check this.

EDIT: Okay, just checked out the 6.20 download and it's got a "Permanent" version.

 

[copy_zero]

The 6.35 doesn't appear to have the permanent patch in it. On the 6.20 version, you have the proupdate folder, the fast recovery folder and a folder with the permanent patch in it. Probably the permanent patch can only be used with 6.20 OFW.

It's the same firmware irrespective of OFW starting point -

4/8/2011 7:05:05 PM :: coldbird

4/8/2011 7:05:09 PM :: coldbird

4/8/2011 7:05:22 PM :: coldbird

and turned it into a relyable full cfw

4/8/2011 7:06:07 PM :: jvhellraiser

4/8/2011 7:07:13 PM :: coldbird

4/8/2011 7:07:14 PM :: coldbird

4/8/2011 7:07:25 PM :: jvhellraiser
Awsome XD

4/8/2011 7:07:27 PM :: coldbird

Interview with Coldbird

Pro-B 4 6.20 permanent tester!

[Rydian]

Yup, gotta' run the 6.20 LCFW, then you can run the permanent patch, and it has the option to test (in which case if the PSP runs properly, you should run the permanent patcher again and press Circle the second time). Going to see if this has compatibility with a few key pieces of homebrew (other people can test PSP games if they care, just remember to change the ISO driver to Inferno to check it's compatibility too).

 

[chrisrlink]

so old 3k's can run perm>

 

[Rydian]

so old 3k's can run perm>

Yes, up to 05g.

Can anybody confirm POPSloader working or not?

EDIT: Joysens works.
Can't confirm remotejoy as I CBA to restart to do driver signature crap.
It appears to connect to PSN properly, but I can't download any demos (80109D24).

It seems that your MAC address is replaced by your motherboard model, so people who don't know what model they have could use the temporary one and check system information.

Gonna' transfer a PSX game to test POPSloader now...

 

[xist]

EDIT: Joysens works.

Which version? The recent 6.xx one ported by neur0n or the older original by Raphael?

 

[Rydian]

EDIT: Joysens works.

Which version? The recent 6.xx one ported by neur0n or the older original by Raphael?

I'm assuming the original is the one for 5.x, that's the one I'm using and it works.

As for game categories I needed to use the new one ( http://bubbletune.x-fusion.co.uk/ ), but it's slow when first going into the memory stick menu... is there a fix, or a faster plugin, perhaps with less features?

Also, GoTube! 1.2HMM works.

I can't get the POPSloader menu to come up...

 

[KevFan]

Just noticed the title change,I thank whoever changed it

I have tested 6.35 pro b4 temp / 6.20 pro b4 + permanent patch on my psp 1000 and it works fine
Also the permanent patch is only available for 6.20 if there was any confusion.....

I can't either unless I fiddle around with my PSP's lock switch. Maybe doing that will work for you too?

 

[Rydian]

Wait, you've gotten it working on this?
How did you fiddle with it?
