you need to be on atleast 3.52m33-4 before you can update to 3.90m33, then after that update to the latest 3.90m33-3

IT SAYS:
3.90 M33
--------

Requeriments:

- Installation requires a PSP with 3.52 M33-3 or higher.

Instructions

- Copy the UPDATE folder into /PSP/GAME/
- Get the 3.90 sony update from somewhere, and put it in same folder, with name "390.PBP".
  Alternatively, you can let the installer to download for you via wifi.
- Run it, the update will be done by Sony updater. At the end when you are asked to reboot the
PSP pressing X or O, do it.

here check this site out, http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/616311 follow the guide and apply the 3.52m33-4 update, then run MUX 2.0 program and follow the instructions. i've done 20+ psp's with this guide and not a single problem when updating from 3.52m33-4 to any higher firmware. its pretty self explanatory but if you need more help just ask.
