Hi all I am a new PSPSowner with the newest firmware installed. I am interested in applying the custom firmware.

1. does it render your psp uneligible for futher updates from sony

2. is there a step by step forum for how to do an update properly?

thanks in advance

alright i can tell that you have no clue whats going on

let me start out by saying that if you have the latesd update from sony then you pretty much f**ked yourself over

if you still dont get it:

1. no, you cant install custom firmware now because you installed sony firmware (3.52, right?)

2. no, you can still install further updates to better custom firmwares and sony firmwares, CFW's never restrict you form updating basically

3. yes there are many guides on how to get custom firmware

4. you must have much patience for there is nothing anyone can do for you as of now

He never said that he had the latest update.

1. Not sure.

2. I got my custom firmware quick, easy, and with no problems. I guess it depends on which firmware you have and who made the tutorial.

Oh snap, sorry bout that.

Yes he did Miek. Maybe you should've read his post.

Like mice said, you can't do none of that until a downgrader for 3.52 is released. Only 3.50 and lower can be downgraded. If you really want to, just go read tutorials in the tutorial section. You need to downgrade to 1.50 in order to upgrade to a custom firmware. So yea.

im stuck wit 3.51, your just like hundreds of others who cant downgrade. Be patient, some great hacker will make a downgrader.

it'll probably take at least a year though, sorry

It could take any time. It could be out tomorrow for all we know. I don't think it'll take a year though. Could be a couple months though. Half a year something like that.

well sony's getting way more harsh with security, I mean, look how quick it took them to recall lumines.

yeah and just in case docnoc didn't know, sony HATES homebrew

i used to sat that with 3.30.....

About half of psp users own a psp because of homebrew, so Sony should Shut it!

rock on diehard

i think sony would have way more bucks if they supported "us"

Wrong. There was an interview that IGN had with the director of sony i believe. In that interview they said they would love to tap into the source of homebrew as theyve seen some very creative stuff but they need to figure out a way on how to accomplish homebrew without allowing certain functions.

Anyways, back on topic.

Which firmware are you using? You can check this by going to Settings > System settings > System information.
What numbers does it say beside system software when you check there.

staxx he hasnt replied at all to this whole topic i dont think he'll answer

Be patient. Just because he hasnt replied within a few hours doesnt mean that he wont. Just provide the help and if they dont reply then leave it as is, no need to spam the thread with useless posts discussing if the creator of the topic will post back, and whats taking them so long. It causes the whole thread to go off topic.
