Installation part (translated by MrTuto_Alek)
Installation:
- If you have already a pandora ms, don't do this part. Otherwise,
format an ms using c+d mspformat or any other tool that allows to move
partition to ~250kb from first sector
Remove ms, usb and connect again usb and ms.
Make PSP and PSP/GAME dirs.
- Copy despertar_cementerio to PSP/GAME/
- Download 1.50, 3.40 and 3.71 update eboots and copy them to ms root with
150.PBP, 340.PBP and 371.PBP names.
- Use the app under a cfw with 2.x or 3.x kernel (be sure that kernel is
selected on recovery to the correct one (2.x or 3.x))
- Once finished, u will have msipl.bin on root. If you already have a pandora
ms, you don't have to do this step (ipl doesn't changes lol), otherwise,
use c+d msinst to install ipl on ms; or use dd command from unix, or any
hex-edit program to write on sector 16 on the physical drive.
- Now you can delete 340 and 150 PBP's, as they won't be used more; but 371.PBP
will be used for unbricker, so don't delete it.
- Now you have an universal pandora ms ready to go, and you just need a proper
battery. If you have 1.50 kernel access, use c+d tool. Otherwise, use corly149 tool.
Battery and ms will work on all psp and slims to this date.
Unbricking part (translated by JX1)
The Menu has 4 options (note: in the PSP slim the menu won't show)
- Press X to install 3.71 M33. In the psp slim, the impossibility to show on the screen with
a mixed kernel of 1.50/3.40, the installation will be blind, but the leds will be used to show the user
activity. Once X is pressed, you'll see the orange led turn on, which means it is reading the 371.PBP update.
Once finished, you'll see both leds (orange and green) flash. This doesn't mean there is wlan activity or from the memory stick,
it's simply made artificially for the program to show activity.
In the PSP fat, once finished, it will ask you to press X to turn off the PSP. On the psp slim on the other hand
shall turn off by itself. Restart, you'll get a blue screen, press circle and you'll be in 3.71M33.
- Press O to install the original 3.71. The rest is the same process as the 3.71m33 installation.
- Press [ ] to dump the nand file "nand-dump.bin, Once finished, the psp shall turn off automatically.
- Press L+R+Home+Start to restore the nand from the nand-dump.bin file.
NOTE: this process is dangerous and should be done in extreme emergency situations if nothing else works,
and ONLY using the dump previously dumped from your PSP. DON'T use a dump from another PSP.
As the nand restorer of Pandora, which was a logic restorer, this restorer is Physical: it will try to make
a 100% clone of the exact dump.
If the dump of the psp is not yours, you will brick or have a psp with a corrupt idstorage, depending on the firmware.
If at the moment of the restore, your psp has a damaged block more than at the moment of dumping, you can also have a brick,
depending on which block was damaged. It's because of this, that this method is ONLY advisable to use in emergency situations
or when you use dumps you made recently.
now you can download the files!>>
