We where all noob’s once apon a time… In the PSP world anyway.
All you have to do is read what it says below, and follow it to Unbrick your PSP without using another PSP to create the Unbricker. Please if you have any comment on this don’t hesitate to ask.
Oh and if there are any dead links please mention it.
Now on with the show…
So I am supposed to talk to you about the Unbricking process for the PSP, but instead I am going to tell you, and give you a step by step guide to the cheapest and easiest way to unbrick a PSP Phat/Slim and Lite (aka old or new).
Pandora Magic Memory Stick is what it is called in this document but from now on we shall call it PMMS, ok.
On this the PMMS I will pretty much show you how anyone can unbrick their PSP. In doing this you will need a:
copy of 7z software “google it” (couldn’t resist)
Memory Stick (aka MS) Pro Duo. minimum of 512Mb, (which is for nand backup, we’ll get to that later)
PSP (der) doesn’t matter if it is an old or new, it will work either way
a card reader for your computer that supports MS Pro Duo
and last but not least (whatever that means ‘joke’)
A one of these http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/5…batteryxh9.png it is called a tool battery (as you can see, you can buy them on ebay) it is used to unbrick your PSP, without it this is useless.
What you also need to do is have at least 512Mb of storage space on you computer to download this file,
http://rapidshare.com/files/136281512/PMMS.7z.html
this is what you will copy to the root of your MS after you have followed these extremely simple steps.
Step 1: Unzip the file you just downloaded
Step 2: Now unzip the file called formatter
Step 3: Open the formatter folder and run the file called formatter
Step 4: Follow what it says on the screen, and then once you’ve done that come back to this guide.
Right now you have logically formatted you MS, all you have to do now is unzip the file called Shortend pandora booter.7z,
extract the contents of this file to the root of your MS to create your PMMS, Then wait
While it extracts you can nip to the loo, or even get a drink, lol.
Ok Now that it has extracted to the root, all you have to do is safely remove the MS.
Now put it in your PSP and then while putting the battery (tool battery) in hold down L trigger (aka the left shoulder
button) and it should boot into a thing called UPMS (Ultimate Pandora MS), from here just click on the first thing lit up at
the top of the menu, right follow what it says here, (it may prompt you to do a nand bump do so) what you can do now is you
could install the official firmware or install the cutom firmware, I highly recommend noobs to install the official firmware
thats the one that doesn’t have m33 next to its name, its the second one you want.
While it installs once again you can go away and do something else or you could just sit there and look at it, your choice
but DO NOT TAKE OUT THE BATTERY, MEMORY STICK OR TURN OFF THE PSP WHILE IT DOES THIS because it will NOT help. I highly
recommend once it is completely installed reboot into that UPMS screen (remember?) and back up your nand you may do this lots
of different way but this is very important,
just load the part that says Tools & Options, then click on the one that says NandTool and then select the part you want to backup i think it was R trigger thats the right shoulder button.
Read the next part very carefully and make sure you keep the backed up nand in a safe and virus free place.
Once done all that you can just turn off the PSP and there you have an unbricked PSP.
PS. if you have to use the memory stick for some other reason take a copy of the memory stick and pop it in again a safe and virus free place.
I remember I had a very close call once I almost lost my psp for good, and luckily I found a copy of my psp’s nand wich was a
big success.
Well I hope you enjoyed reading this guide nearly as much as I did making it, please if you have any question email me at
dudeman3@fsmail.net and put the subject as PMMS, and thank you for downloading from that link, I will try to upload it on another site other than Rapidshare. (aka megaupload)
not so small print; I willnot and cannot be held responsible for what could happen to your psp other than what you have done
to it, I have not pirated nor have I done this for a profit, I only did this to help those who needed the help. And so I say
goodbye, Byee bye.
