3.90 M33-3 is the most latest and preferred CFW ...
add to it the 1.50 kernel add on .. that ll make the full set.

I think 1.5 kernel is only needed for Fat PSP.... is it....:S

the 1.50 kernel addon is only required if you are planning to run homebrew on it. and yea, it's only for the fat psps. for slims you can try noobx eloader or time machine but i don't think there is very good homebrew compatibility for slims at the moment.

is it impossible to downgrade without pandora's battery? using a softare hack. The other mod also makes use of Lumines and GTA UMD i think.

hi,
When You Mod the Battery with Soldering Iron its Called Hard Modding Not soft Modding as Wrongly Said In The First Post ,And Yes That Too Is Reversible .

Re: Guide To PSP Downgrading Method - II (Hardware Mod)

you can softmod a battery to make it a pandoras battery, then after using it to downgrade, you can reverse it back to a normal battery.

I've done it to 3 psps using 1 homebrew enabled psp.

Boss ,
Thats Correct ,But a Hardmod is Called when you Actually Short The EPROm terminals in a Battery and SoftMod is Called When you PRogram the EPROM With FFFFFFFFF To Make it Enter Service Mode .Both Batteries Can Be Converted Back Into Normal Batteries .

Can i now remove my pandora's battery + magic memory stick and put in my original battery (which came with my slim psp)? and use my 4gb card (duplicate sony ms duo card).

Yes , you can .. But why don't you convert the Pandora Battery [ a.k.a Service Battery ] to Normal One and the Magic Memory Stick to Normal MSPD [ It requires formatting of the Magic Memory Stick from the PSP , that's it ]

Yeah , they rip n00bs . Downgrading can be done for FREE , but it needs a PHAT PSP with CFW installed on it as to make a Pandora Battery and Magic Memory Stick .

now i am struck with my Red GOW PSP Slim with 4.01

That's cool , the GOW PSP rocks . :)

If you can arrange a PHAT PSP from a friend or a TE member then it's easier . Why spend money and buy a Pandora Battery ?

If you still wanna buy a Pandora Battery from DealXtreme , then go ahead and buy it . Hackin' a PSP with a Pandora Batter is really easy . Jus' read some forums on the Internet ..

But you will need a Magic Memory Stick too , don't buy that too , you can make a Magic Memory Stick yourself, it's really simple

If you got any more doubts , don't hesitate to PM me or reply here .

What i have -

1. PSP slim with OFW 3.95
2. Original slim battery (which came with my slim psp)
3. Original sony ms duo card 64 mb (magic gate supported)
4. Pandora's battery (bought online) looks duplicate battery which is hard modded
5. Duplicate sony ms duo card 4 gb (magic gate NOT supported)

Here is my question -

once i insert pandora's battery + magic memory stick (made from Original sony ms duo card 64 mb) ... downgrade my OFW 3.95 to CFW 3.90-M33-3.

Can i now remove my pandora's battery + magic memory stick and put in my original battery (which came with my slim psp)? and use my 4gb card (duplicate sony ms duo card).
Hi buddy,
