I have installed ChickHEN R2 on my PSP 3004. Bit confused about which CFW to use.

Custom Firmware Enabler 3.30 Released - Download Custom Firmware Enabler 3.30, PSP Hacks - PSP Slim Hacks

or

5.03 GEN-A Custom Firmware released! 5.03GEN-A Custom Firmware for PSP-3000's, PSP Hacks - PSP Slim Hacks

Could someone who has already tried this out please post a short guide / tutorial? :hap2:

The sticky PSP threads dont seem to adequately cover these new developments for hacking the PSP 3000.

Update:

I got the CFW Enabler 3.30 working on my PSP 3004 and am able to play ISOs on it now :hap2:

This tutorial proved quite helpful - http://kefler.110mb.com/index.html

Steps i used:

1. Install Original firmware 5.03 - PSP Firmware 5.03 Download

2. Next installed the ChickHEN R2 Mod 2 (The Mod 2 is a big improvement, was able to load it with just 3-4 tries)

3. After loading the R2 i copied the CFW Enabler 3.30 onto my PSP and flashed it

Everything working great and took me all of 5 mins to do after i had all the files ready :)

Now been playing some really nice games like PataPon and WWE vs SD 2009

Custom Firmware Enabler 3.50 for ChickHEN R2, gives you M33-6 features on your TA-088v3+ And PSP-3000’s. You need to use ChickHEN R2 to load this CFW Enabler. And Official Firmware 5.03. Firmware 5.50 is NOT supported!

Also, link to the tutorial for the CFW Enabler - http://pspslimhacks....-3-30-tutorial/

I am using CFW enabler 3.30, which seems to have been updated to 3.50 over the weekend. Anyway, i am not facing any issues with it so will stick with CFW enabler 3.30 for now :)

And to reiterate - Yes, ISOs working on my PSP 3004.

No lag, working smooth :) . Using a 4gb original Sony MS Pro Duo card.

[abhi.eternal]

thanks SoulFire but CFW 5.50 Gen-A is only for 1000 and 2000... i own a 3000, unfortunately!!

Also I guess every time the PSP is restarted, the whole process is to be redone ?

Correct. But just putting the PSP into sleep mode and then turning it back on will not cause any problems or require the process to be redone :)
