Gaming Completely Unhackable PSP-1000?

[Makoto0729]

I just picked up a used PSP-1000 from GameStop with an old gift card. Well, it turns out, I think it's unhackable, entirely.

It has a 6.3 firmware number, and a battery that apparently can't be pandora'd, according to the official "N00bz" site.

Without Pandora, it's impossible to hack any PSP, even a 1000, after like 5.3 software, right?

Is there any method you guys can recommend to get this thing cracked?

There is no such thing as an unhackable PSP-1000.

It matters not the firmware; the Pandora battery puts the device into Service Mode before it even loads the firmware.

Just get yourself a Tool battery or something from DealExtreme.

It's not the PSP, it's the battery. If it can't be pandora'd then it's not an official battery IIRC.

Just get another battery to pandora, or buy a premade. You can get them for $7-12 online.

The motherboard is what makes PSP's unhackable, (I believe), because it prevents the unit from booting into service mode (usually through the Pandora).

Just buy a TOOL battery, it'll be fine.
