Important note: the following guide is valid on all regional variations of the PSP 300x: PSP 3000, PSP 3001, PSP 3002, etc… up to PSP 3009.
Installing a Custom Firmware on your PSP 3000 has never been so easy. In this page I’m describing the easiest possible way for you to install the most reliable Custom Firmware on your PSP: Pro CFW.
Installing Pro CFW on your PSP3000 is simple, free, and is not much risky than installing a Firmware update on your device. It does not require any advanced hack technique or hardware modification. There’s basically 3 easy steps (you were expecting more? Sorry to disappoint):
1. Download the necessary files
2. Update your PSP To firmware 6.60
Skip this step if you already have Firmware 6.60 installed on your PSP.
In order to install Pro CFW on your PSP, you will need to first update your PSP to the 6.60 Sony firmware (which, at the time of this writing, is the latest firmware released by Sony), if that’s not already the case. There are versions of Pro CFW that will run on older firmwares, but updating to 6.60 will guarantee the best compatibility for your official games.
To install the 6.60 Firmware, just unzip the archive on your PSP’s memory stick, in the “PSP/GAME” folder (you should end up with an “UPDATE” folder in the PSP/GAME folder, if you do things correctly), then run the update from your PSP menu.

3. Install Pro CFW
The Pro CFW archive provides several subfolders in the “PSP/GAME” folder. Two of them are interesting for us: the FastRecovery and the PROUPDATE folders. Those two need to be extracted to the PSP/GAME folder on your memory stick.
Assuming you extracted the files correctly, you will see a few new applications in your PSP’s Game menu. The one you will want to run in order to install Pro CFW is “Pro Update”. Just run it.
That’s it. You can erase the “ProUpdate” folder from your PSP, but keep the “FastRecovery” one.
4. DAILY USE
That’s it, I said 3 steps 🙂 Welcome to the world of Custom Firmwares. There’s no additional step required to install the Pro CFW. However, every time you reboot your console, you will have to reactivate ProCFW, which is done by running the Fast Recovery tool from your PSP’s Game menu, and takes literally 5 seconds.
5. Power user
In this section you will find additional tricks/steps if you want to improve or customize your experience with a Custom Firmware on your PSP 3000
Some people think that it is a burden to reactivate the CFW every time they reboot their console. It is important to note that this is needed only if you reboot the console, not if you put it into sleep mode. Most people use the sleep mode 90% of the time without ever realizing it. Trust me, I’ve used several PSPs for years now, running the Fast Recovery tool is not a problem in your daily usage. That being said, it is possible on most models of PSP 3000 to downgrade to Firmware 6.20, and install a permanent CFW on this firmware. Honestly I don’t recommend this, but if you’re interested, go and check on our forums.
thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks ………
Please i beg anyone of you! Am new to all this….. but i successfully install the cfw and the pro update 6.60, and I have almost 159 ISO games on my laptop but I can’t run any on my PSP go. It always show “corrupted file” am using the inbuild sd though! Please help me: (
I’ve been using Custom Firmware for a few months and must say it runs amazingly on my PSP.. until recently and I need help.
Being a fan of Vocaloid I decided to try out a game called Project diva2 which I downloaded at emuparadise, but after transfering it on my Memo-Stick and Running fast recovery the whole PSP started to insanely lag. Knowing this happened with a corrupt pokemon file on my DS-Lite I thought deleting it from my Memo-stick and reboot the PSP manually would help… NOPE!
I remember that before copying project diva I did cut and paste two game files from the memo-stick to my PC as I did not want to delete, lose those games and then redownload. Could deleting through usb-connection be the cause?
How can I “nurse my console back to health” and what should this idiot avoid in the future, hahahha
Thanks for running this amazing website and help is much appreciated :’3
Forgot to mention that insane lagging stops whenever I reboot but starts lagging again once I run fast recovery.
The lagging isn’t exclusively to games, but for the whole psp including the start menu. Insanely annoying >_>
Again, help much appreciated!
No help needed afterall!
I just uninstalled and reinstalled, No files lost, No lagging and happy gamer is happy! 😀
Thought sharing this here could help others who encounter the same or a similar problem, just happy the solution was so easy~
Next look it vsh menu set speed to default or max.
Maybe check your (unsigned) plugins
then reboot if it still lagg

I tried everything I could find to make it into a custom firmware. but right now I don’t know what should I do? should I upgrade it to 6.20 or downgrade it? I tried following those steps, as step 1. and step 2. was done perfectly. but when I got to step 3. as I want to install it, my screen when black, and it says ” SORRY THIS PROGRAM DOESN’T SUPPORT YOUR VERSION FW X (06030710)
Thanks, Works perfect 😀

Hello
I have a PSP3001 and I’m using 6.60 Pro B9
Fix seems to load properly.
The issue is I’m not seeing games in my PSP.
I’ve done everything according to instructions.
I’ve created ISO folder in root PSP directory but no games are shown in PSP (I’ve tried every possible format ISO, CSO)
Can someone please suggest what I could do to get the fix working properly. I’ve already tried B10 and every imaginable version of 6.60
Thanks!

Hey uhmm I have this worm on my memory card. So yeah I’m planning on cleaning[reformat] out my mem card but doing so will delete my files and the CFW(I think). WIll my psp be affected of worm(off topic maybe) or not? Because installing CFW again is quite not my range.
the worm shouldn’t affect the psp. Worms and viruses usually only affect the systems they’re written for (usually Linux or Windows). It would be rather pointless to write a virus for a psp. You’re more likely to get a virus on an IMac than a game console.
you mean Mac and Windows
Press the SELECT and go to CPU game clock and put it to 222/333.Then select the ME driver, restart the PSP and you are done.
Would anyone here be able to help out with 6.60 homebrew fix.
I have PSP3001 and I’m currently using 6.60 Pro B9
I’ve created ISO folder in root PSP folder according to instructions. When I go to PSP memory stick, there are no files found there. No file format seems to be recognized by PSP.
Is there a fix for this or do I need to instal a different fix to PSP?
Can someone please help me with homebrew for PSP3001
I’m using 6.60 and none of my files are showing up on the PSP unit.
I’ve followed all instructions posted.
Thanks!
still mine shows corrupted data, what did i do wrong?
here are the steps i followed:
1. update my firmware to 6.60
2. download ‘Pro CFW (latest version)
3. copy and paste the contents to my memory card and overwrite everything
4. i copied my ISO folder where my .iso and .cso games are located from my PC to the memory card, no subfolders! just on the main home of the memory card
5. i launched ‘Pro update’ and followed the instructions
6. i launched ‘Pro-C fast recovery’
7. psp rebooted itself but still, games show as corrupted data
* on what part did i mess up? or did i miss something?
sorry for the long post, please help
Hey, I don’t know if you’ve got it figured out already, but I’ve just installed the cfw and experienced the same issue as yours. i used the exact same steps that you mentioned. Then I tried installing the cfw first and activate it before copying my iso file and it works 🙂
Put the ISO outside of the PSP folder.
C:MemoryStick/ISO
i have an cfw and i downloaded a game then i put it in my psp
it comes that it is corrupted.should i activate the cfw
Thanks,but I still need help my sister’s psp 3004 cannot play iso games(says corrupted data),even with pro c2 cfw.same applies to my psp go.I have followed the iso steps and downloaded iso from emu paradise help!!!!!!!!!!
Gladly appreciated wololo or somebody?
Hello,
I’ve used Pro cfw 6.35 for ages in my PSP Brite and I wonder now if it’s the best to update it to Pro 6.60 or if I should stay where I am. Suggestions?
For the record, 6.20 PRO is the way to go, with the permanent patch, if you are positive your PSP is capable of being downgraded, and you are confident that you know what you are doing. If you check my YouTube channel, I have videos about every single downgrading and CFW or LCFW possibility. Most of the downloads are probably broken, but if you need help finding the necessary files, just message me and I’ll help you out.

Enjoy.
Do you have an email or Facebook or something ? I needed some help ?
hey please , when i download the proupdater there’s some files i don’t recognize can you tell me what to put in the psp and what to delete? thanks!!
Thank you for your help but just gotta ask some question , how many minuets does pro cfw take to install ??
sorry i meant pro cfw above^
Rather than making a scene, why don’t you start by describing what you did.
And now, there might be ways to rescue your bricked psp. So ask around, especially if you are a beginner.
Sometimes, one guide is not enough, gather more information, try to understand what you’re trying before actually trying it.
There’s a lot of variation now.
what can we do with pro cwf…..can we play iso games on it?
and please i send me a link if there is iso loader for pro cwf
i got this updated on my psp 3000. but i cant seem to understand where does these other files go that the rar file gave me?? where do i put the seplugins folder?? in root?? in psp?? or in game?? i got an iso i want to play. legend of dragoon. but it says corrupted data just like it does with the iso folder itself. its confusing. please someone who knows what they are doing email me. scarlet.alias@gmail.com and tyia. i need help.
seplugins folder in root.
Are you talking about legend of dragoon “eboot” file..? if so, you have to put it in PSP/GAME folder.
can i ask, why after i press recovery then black screen and then it off my psp
Thank you so much the only thing is why the title of the game doesn’t appear? Should I do not fear this?
I’m having a little trouble trying to play CSO files, I have a PSP 3000 and used this page to get CFW and every time i try to select the game cso file i want to play it starts up like normal than it just stays a black screen and shuts the PSP off, I can’t try the ISO file type since my Memory stick is only 1GB
Thank you, I successfully upgrade my PSP 3006 from CFW 5.03.
THNX…. 😀
Works perfectly with psp 3006
What to do if psp shows “not compatible with your firmware” when we run proupdate
I thank you all for making a CFW so easy to install like that. Here’s my question. Why could the hackers get Sony’s private keys like that, even for the PSP’s latest OFW to make such an easy to use CFW like this, but yet, NO hacker can get the private keys for anything above OFW 3.55 for PS3 to make a CFW like this but for PS3 PERIOD? What is so damn different about the PSP and PS3 that makes the PS3 unhackable, and so sealed tight, even years after? I’ll never understand. that.
THANK YOU! soooo much it took a while but i’ve finally got it 😀
