PSP Firmware Guide!

hmm it seems I really dont remember the old days cause as far as I can remember on 3.XX you could simply
get the 6.60 OFW and run it from XMB :/

or use the HC Recovery Flasher to update to 5.00 M33 or 6.20 OFW

Afaik you need 3.71 M33 for using the HC Recovery Flasher to update to higher CFWs/OFWs. And all the CFWs up to 3.60 M33 had the famous DADADADA error while trying to update to OFW.

If he came from an earlier firmware, he had to update to the 3.52 M33-4, for updating to 3.71 M33. From 3.71 M33 he is able to update to 6.60 OFW.


@NNNRT:

Try to launch the 3.71 M33 installer without changing the kernel, maybe it does work.

This.^

I'd suggest 6.60 ME when you've update, NNNRT.

He has to update to 3.71 M33 before he can update to 6.60 ME

That's what I meant.

I followed the entire tutorial to upgrade the CFW but when I try to correct the version.txt in the psp my pc don't show the directory VSH

I'm now using the CFW 5.50 prometheus v4 and is a psp-1001

[The Z]

Are you sure you are connected to the flash0?

[stevealexanderames]

you can easily skip this using Frostegater's VerGen it's a very useful homebrew that can flash the version.txt you need without going mad

[fate6]

you can also use PSPfiler to edit it
(just use hacker mode)

[The Z]

I would say changing it via PC or frostegaters VerGen is the most safe way to do it, it IS possible via PSPFiler, but if you screw up, you have a semibrick.

[suster]

yes I'm sure that I tried in the flash0 and the other flash as well

I'm gonna try this Frostegater's VerGen
edit
ok so how this prog would help me change the version.txt
