Hello guys..
i'm asking a question here for the sake of my friend..
friend "A" wan to upgrade his PSP firmware 3.71 M33-4, to the same firmware version with friend "B"
which is version 5.50 GEN-03..
why friend "A" wan to upgrade? becoz he cant play some games which friend "B" can play smoothly.
how does he mean by cant play? everytime he start the games, the screen will go blank@shutdown(he said so)..

so..is upgrading the version is a good move for friend "A" ?
will it able to upgrade from 3.71 M33-4 -> 5.50 GEN-03?

thanks for the answer, i appreciate it so much. smile.gif

after spent some time with google..i found this 1..
will this work for my friend?

sorry for asking noob question since i'm new with PSP(never buy any PSP before)
and i heard alot of comment about "you need to know what you r going to do with ur PSP or else you r gonna say byebye with it"
LOL..so i guess looking for some expert and ask for their opinion is the best for me. smile.gif

actually you have two choices, whether from 3.71 M33-4 to 5.00 M33-6, or from 3.71 M33-4 to 5.50 GEN-03,

3.71 M33 -4 and 5.00 M33-6 are the same developer (Dark_AleX), me using it, and i able to play all the latest games, so no need to worry if you want to upgrade to 5.00 M33-6..but before you play the latest games, you need to check it 1st whether the games is supported for 5.00 M33-6, if not, you cannot play the games...because the latest games need to encrypt 1st before can play for cfw 5.00 M33-6...

3.71 M33-4 to 5.50 GEN-03, if you dont want to headache and worried cannot play games and etc2...this is the right choice, all the latest games are supported for this 5.50 GEN-03..

i choose 5.00 M33-6 because i am using plugins for my psp, such as cwcheat, cxmb and etc..and its cannot support for 5.50 GEN-03, that is why im still using it... laugh.gif

So..it is safe for my friend to upgrade it? with the method on the link that i've posted above?

i know about that, because of the plugins i using since cfw 5.00 m33 and only compatible with 5.00, so that is why i dont want to change it to 5.50GEN-D3...hehe..
yeah its safe, a lot of tutorial you can find in youtube if you want to upgrade by yourself.. biggrin.gif

Bt this wil b my 1st time to upgrade psp,somemore it wasnt mine, haha.. Plus I heard alot of rumours that psp is quite sensitive, wrong move, bye2.. Thats y I m asking for opinion frm experts here..haha

--=( Using Hellcat's Recovery Flasher v1.60 to install 5.50 GEN-D3 )=--

1) Pick the Firmware Pack(s) (=.RFP files) of your choice and copy them to
the to root of your memstick

2) Copy the 5.50 Sony updater (to be downloaded seperately) as 550.PBP to
the root of your memstick

3) Lauch Recovery Flasher

4) On the first option, where you can select the ©FW version to be
installed, press "X" until it reads "load from external FW pack".

5) Select "Install CFW selected above".

5 1/2) From the now shown list, choose the Firmware Pack that you want
to install and let Recovery Flasher do it's work as known.

DONE - This will install 5.50-GEN-D3 onto your PSP - or any other Pack
you might have selected.


i've decided to use this method..is it ok? hmm.gif

yes thats right, but if i were you, better watch the video on youtube, at the 1st time i upgrade my cfw myself i watch tutorial on youtube....hehe..and its works...

DONE! i've upgraded the PSP..
first i'm using the method that i've posted earlier, Hellcat recovery, it does upgraded to version 5.50 GEN-D3..
but yet, the problem appear, couldnt play game, i tried with at least 4 games, same error message,
"This Program Could Not Starterd" with some error code but forgot what it is tongue.gif (any idea why this problem appear? hmm.gif )

ok, how did i fix it? take Friend "B" memory card, insert into friend "A" PSP,
re-flash(is that what you call it? tongue.gif ) it with the flasher(the 1 that the technician left inside the MS last time),
the flasher name should be some kind of Yoshihiro XGEN 5.50 blablabla updater.
then problem FIXED! Friend "A" is enjoying his PSP now! rclxms.gif

@choy89, u know what. u don't have to re-flash. just change setting in vsh menu. that's all.

change the setting in vsh menu? you mean my first step is correct,but couldnt start any game
becoz of the setting, all i need to do is just to change the setting? how is that? thanks for telling. smile.gif
