Unbrick Your PSP (Pandora Online Manual)

Back


(im not responsible for any damage will cause this to your psp)
Big ONE: All for one, and one for all. A project promulgated under the collective Noobz - more officially branded as N00bz! - has given birth to another monumental development in homebrew: a PSP unbricker for every Sony PlayStation Portable. In short summary, it would perform the following:

1. You run a program on a homebrew-enabled PSP that will convert a standard PSP battery into a jigkick battery. Note that you can't then use that battery normally - so you should use a spare one.
2. You run a program to generate the unbricker memory stick image, built from the v1.5 update EBOOT (note that this, and the custom IPL, means the release is completely free of Sony copyright materials).
3. You run some programs on a PC to install the image to your memory stick.

Earlier, Noobz member Fanjita announced that they would release an unbricker for bricked PSPs as a result of a "faulty decryption algorithm," but the C+D thought they could do even better. Chalking up another feat to the Prometheus project, C+D created an unbricker for all PSPs, even without accessing the official software or hardware. But in essence, the feat wouldnt have made successful waves if the the following victories hadn't made ripples to start with:

* Reverse engineering of the service (unbrick) mode
* Development of a technique to change an ordinary battery into a service mode trigger battery (and back)
* Development of custom IPL code along with a technique to sign that code as authentic

Of course, similar to a few CFW releases before, the unbricker was leaked before it was officially released, and C+D has yet to tie down the reasons for the leak. What was important to mention, however, is that the unbricker is completely free, and some people have tried to gain profits from the leaked unbricker over several websites around the world. Yet again, the early release of the unbricker was necessary, even if it was originally planned to unravel at the release of the PSP Slim.

Noobz salutes the members of the Prometheus project, namely Adrahil, Booster, Cswindle, Dark_AleX , Ditlew, Fanjita, Joek2100, Jim, Mathieulh, Nem, Psp250, Skylark, and TyRaNiD - who should also be recognized in their Create and Destroy (C+D) identities as follows:

Mathieulh = WiseFellow
Tyranid = bockscar
Fanjita = FullerMonty
Joek = CosmicOverSoul
Dark_Alex = Malyot
Chris = Caretaker
Adrahil = VoidPointer
nem = h1ckeyph0rce

Just as Noobz warns, please take care to read the file's readme for the instructions. Failure to do so will cause degrees of risk to your PSP.

You find a buddy with an unbricked PSP and place the programs onto the Magic Memory, and put the Magic Memory into the PSP, along with the Pandora/Jigkick and it'll turn to the Recovery Menu. Then you use the universal unbricker option. Then take the Pandora/Jigkick out of the PSP then put in the normal one. Then voila.

can i just use the pandora battery instead of having to go out and buy another?
Kenv395 (November 26, 2008 at 4:45 pm)
Nope, once a pandora, always a pandora. So you can't use the pandora as a normal battery.
pjbubbie (November 27, 2008 at 8:49 pm)
