Hi ragingd this is Rogdrik

This guide the way it is right now..i made it to reflash messed up 3.71 M33

but ill make it work for ya..iight?
by ragingd @ 03 Jan 2008 23:45

Thanks. i downloaded the files but when I go to unzip the PSP_371_FW_UPDATE file it just leaves a eboot file not a folder
by Rogdrik @ 03 Jan 2008 23:46

you only need the eboot

just rename it to say 371.pbp

not 371.pbp.pbp
by ragingd @ 03 Jan 2008 23:47

What should I do to upgrade it
by Rogdrik @ 03 Jan 2008 23:47

i might as well tell you now

since we are going to update not reflash....after you ar done with this whole guide

rename the recovery folder to UPDATE

and run the 3,71 M33 installer from the game menu
by ragingd @ 03 Jan 2008 23:48

ok I renamed it
by Rogdrik @ 03 Jan 2008 23:51

wait what did you rename...the eboot or the recovery folder

cause the eboot needs to be called 371.PBP

and the recovery folder needs to be called UPDATE...because we are updating not reflashing

here what you need to have before you put it in the game foldr of your memory stick

Needs to be called UPDATE the folder does

and has to have

371.PBP
umodule.prx
and the eboot that came with the file named umodule.prx
by ragingd @ 03 Jan 2008 23:52

ok created the recovery folder in the game folder what should I do now
by ragingd @ 03 Jan 2008 23:54

OK I have the update folder with the three files in it. what do I do next
by Rorro_Rey @ 03 Jan 2008 23:55

First rename the recovery folder..to UPDATE

then put the three file in it

371.PBP
umodule.prx
and the eboot that came with the file named umodule.prx
by Rorro_Rey @ 03 Jan 2008 23:56

go to your psp game menu

and run the 3.71 M33 thingy...xD
by Rorro_Rey @ 03 Jan 2008 23:56

by ragingd @ 03 Jan 2008 23:58

I put the 371.pbp file in the folder that was labeled update, the folder that was zipped is this right
by ragingd @ 03 Jan 2008 23:59

by Rorro_Rey @ 04 Jan 2008 0:02

371.PBP
umodule.prx
and the eboot that came with the file named umodule.prx

all you have to do is have a folder inside your GAME folder that is named UPDATE

and take the update folder out of the rar and put it inside the GAME folder

if there is anything before doing this inside de game or game150

delete whatever is inthere
by ragingd @ 04 Jan 2008 1:01

So im deleting everything in the GAME Folder and everything in the GAME150 folder. Than putting the new Update folder in the Game folder?
by ragingd @ 04 Jan 2008 1:03

.
by Rogdrik @ 04 Jan 2008 1:05

if you want to play homebrew games, then

download this HERE

and unzip it and rename the eboot in there

to be 150.PBP

not 150.PBP.PBP

and put it in the root of the memory stick....next to the PSP and ISO folder

not inside any of them.

then download this HERE

and unzip it and put it in your GAME folder and run it on the GAME menu on the psp

rogdrik still here?
by Rogdrik @ 04 Jan 2008 1:20

do this

if you want to play homebrew games, then

download this [ link ]

and unzip it and rename the eboot in there

to be 150.PBP

not 150.PBP.PBP

and put it in the root of the memory stick....next to the PSP and ISO folder

not inside any of them.

then download this [ link ]

and unzip it and put it in your GAME folder and run it on the GAME menu on the psp
by ragingd @ 04 Jan 2008 1:27

Should I run the 3.71 m33-4 update first or the 150kernel first?
by ragingd @ 04 Jan 2008 1:30

.
by Rogdrik @ 04 Jan 2008 1:31

doesn't matter

but do the update first

just do it
by Rogdrik @ 04 Jan 2008 1:32

o think its safer

because it writes some more important things to flash
by ragingd @ 04 Jan 2008 1:34

Ok do I need to create a ISo folder? Thanks for being patient with me. I appreciate all the help.
by Rogdrik @ 04 Jan 2008 1:37

its okay

but no

because you aren't putting anything in it

you can format your memory stick when you are done

and itll make all the folders for ya

the 150.pbp

goes next to the psp and mp_root folder...etc.

and the UPDATe folder goes in the GAME folder
by Rogdrik @ 04 Jan 2008 1:38

And your welcome..;)
by Rogdrik @ 04 Jan 2008 1:40

hey man g2g to bed...but all you have to do at this point is

run the 3.71 M33-4 Update

then run the 1.50 Kernel Addon

and then format your memory stick...using the format tool on system settings
by Rogdrik @ 04 Jan 2008 1:41

ok?
by ragingd @ 04 Jan 2008 1:42

Ok i put the 150.pbp next to the psp folder. Do I delete the 3.71 update folder and put the 150kernel update folder in the GAME folder?
