Important note: This page is obsolete, and kept for archive purposes only. I now recommend a much easier technique to install a CFW on your PSP. If you reached this page from an other website, I recommend you go back to the page presenting the easy technique to install Pro CFW. This page is kept for archive purposes only.
You reached this page because you want to install a Custom Firmware on your PSP3000, PSPGo, or a PSP2000 with a UNhackable motherboard (ta88v3), and you currently have a firmware 6.35 or below installed on your PSP. If you’re not sure of that anymore (psp 2000 owners, there is a chance your motherboard could be hackable), or if you want to check again, or if you have a different PSP model, please go back to the main page of this guide.
You basically have two choices. you can either upgrade to Firmware 6.35 and run the 6.35 CFW By Virtuous Flame, or downgrade to firmware 6.20 and use Total_Noob’s Hen for 6.20. The choice is up to you, these systems both have pros and cons, so pick the one you prefer.
- I don’t know if I should use TN Hen for 6.20 or Virtuous Flame’s CFW 6.35
- I’d actually like to install Total Noob’s TN Hen for 6.20
You’re still here? It means you made your choice, and you want to stay on 6.35, and install Virtuous flame’s LCFW. First, if your firmware is below firmware 6.35, follow this essential step:
- If your psp has a firmware under firmware 6.35, Upgrade your PSP to the official firmware 6.35.
- For PSP 2000 or 3000 owners, You can do this by downloading the firmware here (or alternate link here), placing it in your PSP/UPDATE folder, and running it from your PSP menu.
- For PSP Go owners, You can do this by downloading the firmware here (or alternate link here), placing it in your PSP/UPDATE folder, and running it from your PSP menu.
Done? Good. Now, to install and run Virtuous Flame’s CFW 6.35, just do the following:
- Download Virtuous Flame’s CFW 6.35 Pro here (or alternate link here)
- unzip the archive (download above) in the PSP/GAME folder of your memory stick
- Go to the “Game” section in your PSP menu, and Run the 6.35 CFW Update
- That’s it! You’re now running the CFW
- This CFW allows you to run most homebrews, as well as recent games. Most likely, you won’t need any additional tools.
Note that every time you turn your psp off (I mean, really off, sleep mode is NOT the same thing), you will need to run the Launcher (it is called “Fast Recovery in 6.35 Pro, and is included in the archive above)

Hi, I have a psp 3001 with 6.37 FW and i want to downgrade to either
6.20 or 6.35 so i can load the PROB, please
which of the guides should I follow?
When I try to run the Fast Recovery Pro on my PSP it acts like its restarting then just shuts off. When I turn it back on I still cant get to my games and I fell like it didnt install.
Help?
HELPPPPPPPP PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ 😐
my PSP is PSP3004 and using VER 6.39 ..
according to u , i downgraded it to 6.20 as its mother board is 3g ( seen when i was installing 6.20 ,, while running some cmds )..
now my firmware is 6.20 ,, and now i copied and pasted the files of Virtuous Flame’s CFW 6.35 Pro in PSP/GAME folder ,,, then i ran UPDATE icon and it displayed srry this program doesnt support ur FW 06020010 ,,, plzz tell me wat 2 do ,, should i use TN Hen instead of it ….???/
I’m no expert, but if you was able to downgrade to 6.20, you don’t need to install Virtuous Flame’s CFW 6.35 Pro. You can use CFW 6.20PRO B8 and install the permanent patch, or if you update from 6.20 OFW to 6.35 with update film then use Virtuous Flame’s CFW 6.35 Pro. Hope this help you!
I do the “update” (write to flah0) and it seems to work fine, but whenever I try to run the cfw (fst recovery) the screen goes black and the psp turns off after a few seconds, I’m using a 3000.
Am I doing anything wrong? :/
hi wololo
I followed al the steps to downgrade my psp 3.39 to 3.35 but when I start it, it says “error, updater MD5 mismatch” can you guys help?
thx
the MD5 mismatch error means you need to downgrade to 6.20 not 6.35, then UPGRADE to 6.35 THEN follow these directions…
Hey
I’m running on 6.35 ofw. Installed 6.35 pro B8 by the instructions. I put the ISO in the root drive. But cant seem to recognise it. I’m using 16GB MS
Any solutions? Thanks!
You need to make a ISO folder on the root of the MS (memory stick) and THEN put your ISOs in there.
can i intal nitEPR
Excellent. Just done it on PSPgo 6.35 05g.
PSP is DEAD. RIP
You are a God among men. This is the only set of instructions I could actually follow and get to work. Thank you!

i did all the directions…bt i get a “corrupted file” error!
