Ok. You can upgrade to a higher custom firmware, and i will provide you with a guide to upgrade directly to 4.01m33-2. I've used this many times, and i can assure you that it's good. Before i begin, i shall explain some important stuff to you.

To upgrade to a firmware higher than 3.52m33, you'll need 3.52m33-3 or higher. Sounds confusing? Well, here's an example. You have 3.40oe-a and you wish to get 4.01m33. Here's what you need to do. First, install 3.52m33. Then, run the -3 or -4 patch. Then, run the 4.01m33 installer and the -2 patch.

By using Hellcat's Reflasher, you do not need to upgrade to 3.52m33-3 before upgrading to a firmware higher than that.

Here's my guide on it.

Yes, 8GB will work just fine.

Added on March 15, 2009, 7:24 pmI have followed your guide but when i wan to run the eboot from : PSP/GAME/RECOVERY. An error message appears. It wrote that i must run the reflasher in XMB because something is lower than 2.71. What does it mean ?

Set your kernel to 3.xx

Go to recovery mode/configuration/ and set game folder homebrew : 3.xx.
Then run the flasher.

Thanks for everything playboy. But i encounter another problem which is my whole PSP turned off on its own. It hang there when playing games and stucks there for a few seconds before turn off itself. It happens to most of my games. Anyone experience the same problem ? Is it hardware issue or firmware issue? Thanks for answering me

You can try formatting your stick, or just mess a bit with the UMD Mode. If that doesn't work, then try a different stick.

I tried to format my memory stick. I have configure the UMD mode. I have tried M33 driver, Sony XXx driver. But it still doesnt work for me. I still experience the same problem. So sad.

i also have same problem. that the reason i upgrade my psp. i thought my firmware are not higher to support the game. but when i upgrade and make 'investment' at some psp shop, the problem still arise.

hardware, check the power switch & psp battery,
1. change batteries & see
2. get a psp service personnel to open it up & check the power switch part.

*also, disable start umd on psp boot up at recovery menu.

hi, i'm new here. just got my psp 3006.

congrats dude!
welcome to the psp world!

It most probably cannot be hacked, but it depends on the motherboard really. If your unit has a Pandora proof motherboard, then you won't be able to "hack" it in any ways. So the key to it is the motherboard.

haha... so i guess you also waiting it to be hack.. Or maybe get persuade by the seller.. =P

hey guys, i am having a pprob with my PSP audio system.. when i plug into the headphones o external speaker, the right one don have sound. but when i take it out, the speakers r fully function (both sides also got sound). any ideas?

already try to rotate ur 3.5mm jack after plugged in?? this one tested on speaker and headphone too??

yeah.. tested ad... i dono y like tht... if the PSP right speaker no sound then maybe make sense a bit la.. i try using a speaker and also a headphone. both of them gave the same results. but the speaker and the headphone are fine.. no prob de..

I don't know, that "one section" sound problem happens a lot on my MP3. A little rotation of the jack usually solves it.
