ok here it goes, my psp has 3.80m33 and when i get on the xmb it freezes. and i cant access recovery mode, thats where im at anything else let me know

[Tri-edge]

if you can try and get a pandora and use it

[Jumbo]

The bestthing to do is porbly re-install 3.80 m33 using a pandora.

That should do it

[glenng82]

how do i get to recovery menu? hold r trigger when powering up right?

shut the psp all the way off, so do a cold boot, and hold the R trigger and the reco should come up

btw, this should be in software section?

yea, u can just tAke out the battery, put it back in, hold r and turn it on, and hold r the whole time

[glenng82]

[glenng82]

put the battery in, hold the R trigger, and then turn it on to get to recovery

as soon as i put the battery in it comes on, should i start out holding r and then put battery in?

so ur saying that it is completley turned off, with no battery or charger plugged in, u insert the battery and u dont touch the switch but it turns on itself?

i've never heard of that happening before. all u do is completely turn off psp (take battery out) put battery in, hold r trigger then turn on whilst holding r

[glenng82]

yes thats what it does. put bat in and 2sec later it turns itself on w/ no charger or battery and i dont touch the switch but my pandora bat is done different i didnt lift pin 5

[Ch4rL13]

well only pandora batterys turn on themselfs, maybe ou mixed them up, and if u have a pandora just use that and reinstall 3.80m33

[glenng82]

nope i only have one battery
the wifi & memory card leds dont even light up 

[Ch4rL13]

nope i only have one battery
the wifi & memory card leds dont even light up 

well if reco isnt working, better get a pandora

[glenng82]

but i already have pandora, this is driving me crazy 
why do the leds not work?what have i done wrong?
anymore ideas?

[glenng82]

sorry for double post but just updated to 3.90m33

[pax]

ok i knew that pandora batteries turn the psp on if their is a magic me stick inserted, but if you just put the battey in, the screen should stay blank and the leds turn on for a little while then turn off. by the way how did u upgrade if you had a semi brick?

[glenng82]

lol idk if it was a "semi brick" thats what i was told. when i put the bat in the psp turns on and no other leds come on but the power one

[FaT3oYCG]

lol its because your battery is a pandoras battery, you can convert it back with tools you can download on the internet, pandora's battery creator and such. but it does that because it is pandora, if you plug the ac adapter in and turn it on then put the battery in it should work like normal

[glenng82]

so why cant i access recovery mode? i used catb50 mms creator. now what should i use for pandora battery creator? i tried the one that ken made in the pandora page but it says there is an error.I keep on getting "The game could not be started (8002014C)" With all defaults, and everything set right (when trying to run The Installer).

[Ch4rL13]

lol, at fisrt i thought u had a pandora but u said  u only had 1 battery, which made me think that 1 bat was normal, but its pandora lol, o_O confusing
anyways, so u just updated to 3.90m33? well everyhting should be fixed
idk wuts wrong dude, if everyhting was working normal b4 just reinstall 3.80m33
thats all i got to say

use any pandora battery creator, i usually use the "Pandora's Battery by the Team C+D" guide. google search it and follow the instructions. run pandora battery creator on the psp and press square to convert ur battery back to normal using a generic serial. by the way u need 1.50 kernal addon

but pandora turns on the PSP and oy uget the power LEd right? probably your magic memory stick isnt repartitioned for the MSIPL.BIN you need to have in the 256 kb block. thats why its not boting pandora
