Hacking How To Softmod (Hack) Your PSP

[Scathraax]

Install the temp PRO version for your current OFW, then run PSP Ident and show us the screenshot it saves.

Weird, according to that info the Go's a 05G (like all the others that have been found), so the 6.20 downgrade should work fine.

Sure you're getting the Go version of the firmware and not the 1000/2000/3000 version?

 

[Scathraax]

Positive. Like I said, I picked up two Gos. One of them downgraded to 6.20 and installed CFW with no hiccups.
This other has given me nothing but problems..

 

[Rydian]

Wait, check for an /seplugins/ folder on the Go that's acting up. Maybe it's got a version.txt or plugin that's fucking with the downgrade?

 

[Scathraax]

Deleted the /seplugins/ folder and tried the downgrade again. No dice.
Which makes sense, as I didn't have a /seplugins/ folder the first time I tried to downgrade.

 

[Rydian]

My only advice now is to try a full restart of the system to make sure nothing that was in that folder still has an effect.

 

[Scathraax]

Tried that again. Still no luck. Looks like temporary CFW for this one.

You could try Chronoswitch v4.1 if you can find it (it should work fine on a 05g).

 

[Scathraax]

v4.1 errors as well. :/

 

[Rydian]

Can you downgrade to 6.39?

 

[Scathraax]

Just downgraded to 6.39, with no issues. Tried downgrading further, to 6.20, and got the same error as before.

 

[Rydian]

Dunno' what's up then, maybe somebody on the wololo forums will.

Hello people, I'd like some help here please ^^. I have a PSP 2000 (2006 actually) and would like to know if I can upgrade to a better custom firmware and what good would that do.
I bought this console back in 2008 I think and has been "stuck" with 5.03 since then. I started using cfw enabler 3.70 which basically worked for everything I wanted at the moment, but then I went with prometheus so I could play monster hunter portable 3rd (that one and freedom unite are basically the ONLY psp games I care for), so right now I have 5.03 Prome-3. How much better is 6.60 pro when compared to the old firmware I have? Would I lose my save files in case I wanted to upgrade? because losing 300 hours of gameplay in Freedom Unite and nearly 200 in Portable 3rd wouldn't be fun exactly..


Here's what PSPIdent says about my console

 

[Rydian]

Prome was made by Prometheus, the same guy that made PRO, so PRO is a sort of contiuation of the Prome addon.

You won't lose your saves.

You should do the 6.20 PRO (permanent) method in the first post. On that firmware you should just be able to restart the PSP (to get it out of hacked mode) and then run the 6.20 installer to get to a clean 6.20.

Are you sure I won't lose them? When my brother updated his PSP 1000 from 4.01 m33 to 5.00 m33-6, his freedom unite save said it was corrupt and he started over.. but then again he had only played for a couple of hours so it wasn't much of a loss >.>

guys i'm on 6.39 ME 9.7 and i can't get 2 games to work with it.

capcom puzzle world
street fighter alpha 3 max

capcom puzzle world won't load at all.

street fighter alpha 3 max keeps getting trying to read from the memory card and won't stop...

is updating the firmware the option?

 

[Rydian]

Some people have reported issues going from older 5.x to 6.x, but it's rare and you can use a program to fix the saves anyways if it happens.

Installed what you said. Everything worked flawlessly. Thank you very much

Got a preowned PSP today.. it's a 3003 with version 6.37 firmware... the two hacks on here say 6.20 or 6.60 s: I don't know if I should try a downgrade to 6.20, I mean I don't know what version it came with out of the box or anything. Or should I just update it to the latest firmware? Which I'm guessing is 6.60?
Also wondering if there's some easy way to tell what motherboard I have..

Edit: Updated to 6.60, followed instructions and now it's on CFW, well.. that was easy enough. I mean I was a little worried I'd have something about my model that'd mean I'd not be able to use CFW, but I guess not.
