- Version check: On the PSP Menu (also known as XMB= Xross Media Bar), and goto ‘Settings Menu’ >> ‘System Settings’ >> ‘System Information’ and you should see firmware version of your PSP.
Developer's note: I recommend the old version of PRO users began to appear in the game after the 6.60 upgrade PRO-B9, so as not to archive the user is not compatible with 6.60. 6.60 PRO-B9 use kernel vulnerabilities from some1/Davee/Proxima/Zecoxao the 6.60 downgrader.

ReplyDeleteguys! what do ur mean by permanent hack?
ReplyDeleteIts Permanent Patch - NOT - Permanent Hack....
ReplyDeleteits mean, in the future you don't need to boot CFw every time you shutdown and restart your PSP..
:)
thank you very much, this works nice on psp GO.
ReplyDeleteDev: DarHen (darion Ager) [PSP 3001 03g module/ AU******* model] I'm guessing this would work on a 03g module also right?
ReplyDeleteYou're right :)
ReplyDeleteany cwcheat for this PRO-B5 perm? my previous not working...
ReplyDeleteis this work on psp go n1001 05g..??
ReplyDeleteyes, on OFw 6.20.. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Purnomo.. after i successfully install the permanent patch can i delete the 3 folder(620PRO_Permanent, PROUPDATE and the FastRecovery folder to my PSP/game?
ReplyDelete@Niel: Yes, you can delete the 3 folders .. This is not required until you want to uninstall the CFW.
ReplyDeleteBut the "vshmain.prx" file in the root of your ms, should be stored in a safe place, it will be useful when you restoring a psp semibrick.. :)
thanks but i cannot play my iso games.. it say corrupted data..?
ReplyDeletePut the game *.iso into ISO folder, if it say corrupted data, the game is corrupt, try re-downloading again.
ReplyDeletecan i permanent patch my psp 3000?
ReplyDeleteYes, if your PSP system and module in accordance with the above requirements. [6.20 and 03/04g].
ReplyDeleteRun a tests prior to installation for safety reasons to avoid bricks.
I just got a used psp 3001, g4,6.60 any hope for me? (i have done similar with go models)
ReplyDelete@Josh: yes, in this case you need to downgrade its to 6.20 before make it to permanent patch.
ReplyDeletei made my psp 3007 pro b9 now,so what type of games is applicable for this psp model?
ReplyDeleteits been almost a year now,and im only using UMD's for playing.
All PSP backup *.iso games, PSone/PSx games if you have popsloader installed on your psp.. :)
ReplyDeleteman,it still didnt work.it said "file corrupted"
ReplyDeletePlease Re-read the Instructions above.. maybe you have put the cfw files in the wrong folder..
ReplyDeletesorry but what is the recovery folder thingy for and can i delete it after the install of permanent patch??
ReplyDelete@Master Paque: Yes, you can delete All Permanent, PROUPDATE and the FastRecovery folder, you don't need it again until you wish to uninstall PRO CFw.. but you need to backup vshorig.prx for safety reasons.
ReplyDeleteHi, I know your good at this and it works for me but suddenly I experienced some automatic freeze on my psp and its not loading anymore. Whats the reason for that? Everytime I do something on recovery menu then restart the VSH it hung already and shutdown automatically.
ReplyDeleteHope someone will response to me this evening because I already uninstalled the permanent patch and still happening to my PSP which I don't encounter before.
ReplyDeleteHi, Can you provide more info... I experienced some automatic freeze on my psp and its not loading anymore. This occurs in OFW or CFW? you mean PRO can not load anymore? What version of PSP you now?
ReplyDeleteI have PSP3000 modem 03g when I load your patch. The original version of my psp3000 from the start is ver6.20. The reason I load this because I want to run all my plugins that runs smoothly on PSP2000 which is running GEN firmware.
ReplyDeleteWhat I mean freeze is if I activate one of my plugins like dayviewer, cxmb, game categories etc. the psp will think for a seconds then shut itself automatically.
ReplyDeletehmm, about plugins... you need to find out the suitability plugin before using it, because not all plugins can run in a pro-b and it could result in brick due to involvement of flash0.
ReplyDeleteYou can get the new plugin here.., but most are designed to run in lcfw by neu0ner. :)
hello there, can this work on psp 3007 ver 6.31? thanks in advance..
ReplyDeleteI have PSP Go with CFw 6.20PRO-B8 Permanent.
ReplyDeleteHow should I upgrade it into 6.20PRO-B10 Fix1 Permanent?
Is there really exist CFw 6.35 with permanent patch? What version is it, PRO or ME? If it's really there, how should I upgrade from CFw 6.20PRO-B8 Permanent?
And speak of CFw release, what do you think is the best (in term of stability and compatibility) between all of them?
Regards
is this compatible with all psx, and iso's?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: This CFw requires PSP with OFw 6.20.
ReplyDelete@Denni: To update, you just need to run a new PROupdate. Permanent patch is only in version 6.20, by PRO team.. This is not available on other versions.
Concerning stability and compability, I think ME is more stable in a large memory capacity e.g 16Gb. but I do not know the technical side, it only based on usage during this time.
@Anonymous: well so far..
:-)
this works for all psp models right? so then how do you figure out what motherboard u have?
ReplyDelete^ i mean, before u upgrade to 6.20 pro
ReplyDeleteYou said "To update, you just need to run a new PROupdate".
ReplyDeleteDo you mean I just download [CFw 6.20PRO-B10 Fix1 Permanent] only and run step #4 & #5 (skipping step #1-#3)?
Do I also have to download [OFw PSP-GO 6.20] file?
Regards
@Anonymous: Permanent patch is only for psp 3-5g.. You can use the psp module checker apps, Download from the link here...
ReplyDelete@Denni: Yupz, Copy proupdate folder, then run its, it will update to new CFw. 6.20PRO-Permanent is not required.. This is only a patch.
OFw is not required because you are already in 6.20.
:-)
@Anonymous: Sorry, i mean from this link: e-arena.blogspot.com/2011/05/psp-module-checker-v30.html. :-)
ReplyDeletecan you provide new link for 6.20 FW?
ReplyDeletecurrent one is broken
thanks man
nvm i found it, thanks Purnomo, you were a great help!
ReplyDeletethis cfw is great thx
Download link has been renewed.. :)
ReplyDeletekindly help me, i installed 6.20PRO-B10 Fix1 Permanent on my psp 3001 cfw 6.20 it works for a while ive been using it last night. then when i use it when i woke up, the buttons start to malfunction the circle button the select,start,triangle.then when i try to go to recovery menu its exiting by itself.
ReplyDeleteanyone have an idea what happend on my psp?
thanks
Did you mean the circle button to walk alone? if I observe from "when i try to go to recovery menu its exiting by itself." it seems the X button active without pressure.
ReplyDeleteThis can occur because of moisture on the button, try to reduce the moisture by drying under a lamp.
You can check all the keys function on System Setting > Nickname... :-)
Hi its me again, this is regarding your firmware for when I observed it for almost 2 weeks now, my psp just automatically turned off itself when I exit my game and when I reboot it nothing is happening, it only shows his power is on then few seconds it goes off again. The thing that I always do is take out the memory, open the umd cover then turned it on. That's the temporary fix I always do to run my games again but the thing is it will happened again and again once you exit your game. I never experienced it before when I'm just using the update made by Coldbird and Virtuous Flame. By the way when I used your cfw my PSP status shows version: 6.20 B10. Thanks
ReplyDelete@KaedE: there are two issues in this case,:
ReplyDeleteFirst, what is your psp module?
1. PSP turn off when exit of the game, because there is an error in flash0.. This can be caused if there is a plugin/apps that is not compatible with your current CFW.. or, uninstall is not clean.. 6.20B10 also developed by Coldbird and Virtuous Flame..
Try to remove unused plugins, usually in the folder seplugin.
2. PSP turn on with the black screen/blank: This hardware problem..! trying to do the following analysis:
a) Turn on the psp as normal.. Note whether the LED indicator of memory stick not stop blinking?
b) Turn on psp with UMD tray is opened.. and when its boot to XMB, close UMD tray and look at the bottom right corner, whether the indicator circle continues to spin?
it requires technical experience to be able to solve problem.. Hopefully this help. :-)
Yeah, it requires technical skill and I'm glad I have it, anyways it seems that after I changed my new memory stick it doesn't do it anymore, anyway I will observed it for weeks then informed you, thanks a lot buddy ;P, and if you have time can you send me a link where I can get xmb and game categories that works on my PSP 3000 modem 03g version 6.20 B10.....
ReplyDelete@KaedE: Congratulations, replace the memory stick seems to have solved the problem. Game categories already available on all CFW, by default is enabled. but you can check it out on the recovery menu > configuration.. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi buddy....I think its not the memory for when I format the memory stick that I've used before it seems its working fine too. So, I may think its all about the plugins and I removed them all too which fix the problem. So, for all that have PSP 3000 this firmware (620 B10) works absolutely fine. Thanksssssss so much dude, we'll talk again if the PSP Vita arrived here on our country. ;D
ReplyDeleteThanks too buddy, for the report and share with us :D yeah, in my country seem to arrive early next year.
ReplyDeleteHello buddy ;P, im already a follower of this site and by the way its already on bookmarks of all the browser I've used.....Hey I just want to ask have you ever tried before the Profile manager plugin for psp? Its because I cannot make it work here om my PSP running 620 B10. And by the way any news with dark alex? To all checking this site if your PSP is 3000 don't run more plugins on it for it may cause some automatic freeze and shutdowns. :D
ReplyDelete@KaedE: Profile manager plugin only works on a psp 01/02g with CFW permanent hacks. This is not compatible with the pro-b, I do not know with LCFW by neu0ner... o.O O.o
ReplyDeletehmm, dark alex has gone... :( but neu0ner still with us, he was using the basic of dark alex CFW.. :D
Oh! That's why anyways thanks dude.... Neu0ner is very good too....anyway if you have time share me the site of Neu0ner so I can visit it and maybe share my knowledge bout this gadget too... Thanks HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL...;D
ReplyDelete@Kaede: Neu0ner Site: psp.usamimi.info, and his Twitter: twitter.com/#!/neur0ner.. :D
ReplyDeletehi i am new on this. can somebody help me, how can i identify my psp 3001 module? it has a system software of 6.20. thanks.
ReplyDelete-marvs
Hi marvs, you can use psp module checker, just follow this guide.. :-)
ReplyDeletehi i already tried your instructions,and i did it okey,but wen i go into the game menu i cnnot see my iso/cso games,i think i cant see plugins on my psp,pls help!thanks in advance....
ReplyDeleteFirst, check your psp firmware version, if pro-b already installed the firmware version of your PSP is 6.20PRO-B10. and put your iso/cso game into MS0:/ISO/... :-)
ReplyDeleteHeya my psp 3003 is blank wen i turn it on and wen i go to recovery menu it exits wen i press any option...its a 6.20 tn e cfw....please help!!
ReplyDelete@Sam George: you save vshorig.prx?
ReplyDeleteAt the PSP startup:
Hold R to boot Recovery, first try to select Reset VSH, and hit X or O (its depending on your psp model, X=enter O=back or vice versa..!)
If not work:
Hold O+X+SELECT+START to restore vshorig.prx (you must have ms0:/vshorig.prx on your psp).. :)
what do you mean by BRICK?
ReplyDeleteBrick that is,.. conditions where the psp firmware has been damaged / corrupted... in this condition the psp will not boot to XMB or just a black screen!
ReplyDeleteis *CFw 6.20PRO-B9 Permanent work on psp 2005?
ReplyDeleteyes, on OFw 6.20.. :)
ReplyDeleteWill This work to psp2000 which is said to have 2g? it is above the requirements that it could work on 5g below but you said on the comment that it should be 3/4g..
ReplyDeleteI tried it just now, but it said The data is corrupted.. what happened?
ReplyDeleteYes this cfw work for all model except 01g, but to use permanent patch Your PSP Unit must have a module 5g or lower..!!
ReplyDeleteIf you have 2g psp, you should use CFw6.60ME.. because you have a full hack psp than permanent patch..
The data corrupted is happens if you put at wrong places, or if you are running on a OFw version that is not appropriate, please re-read the full article carefully... :-)
Hi! So if I install the permanent patch on my pspgo 6.20 TA-094 05g, it should brick? I'm running CFW TN with Prometheous ISO loader. If I install this permanent patch, will I still have to use the loader? or can I view the isos/csos off my xmb?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
@fluxdisco: You'll ask to run tests prior to installation permanent patch, for safety reasons to avoid bricks.. do not try to install on unsupported psp, you may brick your psp.
ReplyDeleteand you can delete Prometheous ISO loader or any CFW on your ms... :-)
IS my psp unsupported Purnomo? :/ It's the "N-Series" PSPGO the motherboards a TA-094 and it's 05g...
ReplyDeleteThanks
@fluxdisco: Your psp support the permanent patch, but if you afraid of brick, You can run tests prior to installation permanent patch, please re-read the full article carefully...!
ReplyDeletehow to know if the test is successful or not, i run the test and it just went back to menu, does that mean the test successed or failed? i am using 03g psp 3001. ofw 6.20, hope u can shed some light on this?
ReplyDeleteThat means the successful, If you find an error or freeze stop the installation.. :-)
ReplyDeletei see, thanks for your fast response, good job there :)
ReplyDeleteI have a psp 2004 with 5.55 gen-d (full)
ReplyDeleteDo i have to install ofw 6.20 and then instal the cfw?
Help please!
@dafm96, You have a full hacks psp, it is best to CFW 6.60ME here.., you might need to edit version.txt before updating.
DeleteBut if you like 6.20PRO... Yes, you need to update to OFw6.20 first.. and it is only a permanent patch.. :-)
And I wont be stuck in ofw if i install it? what is the best one?
DeleteFor psp 01/02g: CFW 6.60ME... If you wont be stuck in ofw / get semibrick, Pandora battery should first prepare before doing the update.
Deletei just followed the instructions from above, and i dont have any hitch in doing it.. i just upgraded my PSP 2006.. 02g.. 5.50 Prome-4 to version 6.20 PRO-B9 then to 6.20 PRO-B10 CFW.. Tnx Bro! =)
ReplyDeletei got 6.20 PRO B8, 03g, can i just run the PROupdate then test then it is good to go? i just want to verify the process coz psp is expensive, if i back up the vshorig.prx file, then any errors or brick conditions can be resolved using the "Hold O+X+SELECT+START" to restore vshorig.prx upon boot? this is just to clarify the instructions.
ReplyDeleteYes that right.. Process to consider is when to install a permanent patch, if you get an error or hang should be avoided..
DeleteHey guys.. Help me... I already have a CFW 6.20 PRO-B10 but how to upgrade it to 6.60 PRO-B10? Thanks in Adv..
ReplyDelete@JenX: You must first to do is uninstall the CFW 6.20PRO-B, if you have installing Permanent Patch, uninstall its (PP) first.. Makesure your psp back to OFW 6.20.. before updating to OFW 6.60.. and follow the instructions CFW6.60PRO-B... :-)
Deletei am trying to downgrade my psp the guide book doesent help me a lot.
ReplyDeletei'm running the 6.20 proupdate b10 but after that it just goes black and crashes,. i have 3k 3g ofw 6.20. and also i forgot to delete/disable the plugin(game category) when i was in 5.03. is this the reason why im not able to boot to PRO B10.
ReplyDeleteHi I got the same problem. My psp is 3004 (3g) TA-090 V2. I've update my ofw from 5.03 to 6.20 using the OFW from the proupdate team. When I tried running the 6.20 proupdate b10, i've got only black screen and the power turns off. Please help
DeleteTry to Restore psp to Default Setting, Re-Format your mem stick, and download new PRO update...
DeleteBlack screen can occur if the updates file is corrupted or defective of memory partition... :-)
thanks to all i was able to install the 6.20 pro b10 what i did was i deleted the seplugins.
Deleteand it ran smoothly i'm now 6.20 pro b10.
thanks again.
Thanks for share here..:-)
DeleteOut of topic, green power indicator is on, only but black screen, does it bricked? psp 2006 upgraded to 5.50 gen-d3, is it compatible?
ReplyDeletei cant access recovery menu
DeleteYes, thats full brick... You need pandora battery to fix its... and CFw6.60ME is best for psp 02g.
Deletecan u please explain me what to do, i already have pandora battery created, what to do with the "CFw6.60ME"?
Deleteheres what i did:
-created a magic mstick using another psp
-i inserted that mms to my bricked psp
-then hold L
-put pandora battery
-nothing pops out
note: but when i try to use magic memory stick and pandora to the psp where i created the mms, it worked and promted me to the options to unbrick, can u tell me what you mean about "CFw6.60ME" and what to do to it, TIA
You sure like you said, your psp 2006 and have 5.50 gen-d3? or brick occurs when updating to the 5.50 gen-d3?
DeleteBy CFW5.50 gen-d3, its mean, you have psp 02g with TA-088v1 or TA-088v2... because on the TA-088v3 MMS will not work..
About the L button, try pressing harder, maybe the button are dirty so it does not work. In essence, the function of this button can be changed to another key (e.g. DPAD, Square, etc) when installing the MMS.. or just skip its to make mms auto boot without using any button to boot up.
When you done with pandora, you can install CFW6.60ME for your psp.
brick occurs when updating to 5.50 gen-d3...
Deletei tried other buttons but no luck... maybe i got v3, is there any known solution for this?
Did you remember, the cfw version before you get a brick? Sorry, no solution for v3, except replace the mainboard.
Deletewell, i dont have any idea, coz i dont have any contact to the owner, im just a newbie repairman, i managed to create pandora and able to open the unit, but laziness occurs and i didnt flip the mainboard to determine board model, i guess its the end for that psp, many thnx for replies...
DeleteHi Purnomo, Thanks for your reply. What do you mean by defective memory partition? To tell you the whole story, when I'm update my ofw from 5.03 to 6.02, it prompts an error message saying system update cannot be completed. Around 96%. Then when I off it, I have already a 6.20 system. I tried to update again to 6.20 but it tells me that i don't need to update. my psp is fully working except that I can't proceed in cfw 6.20 B10. it always hang up then the power turn off
ReplyDeleteLucky you did not get a brick... defective memory partition has occur because the files copied and deleted over and over again, on the PC is called the fragment, so you need re-format to re-partition structure.
DeleteOf your case, usually because of bad flash0. Try to unplug the battery for a while, then run pro update again,. if this fails,
maybe, with the update will be able to fix the bad flash0. You can try the OFW6.60 update, but if this fails like before.., you might brick your psp.
Thanks a lot!
Deletedoes this work with psp 1007 v.6.20?
ReplyDeletewill this work on psp 2000 with software version 3.6....
ReplyDeletewill this work on psp 2006 with software version5.50
ReplyDeleteFor psp 02g, it is best to use CFW 6.60ME.. however, it also can work on your psp...
DeleteI want to change my psp nickname but it always freeze when i change it ....i tried restoring to default settings it worked but when i will change it in system settings it still freezes im using psp2006 CFW 6.20 PRO-B10..
ReplyDeleteYou need to enter Recovery menu, then Disable Protection Flash0.. Dont forget to change its back when you done... If you haven't Permanent patch installed, you can change its under OFW..
DeleteJust wanna know please, Does this CFW has a vsh menu?
ReplyDeleteOf course.. :-)
DeleteThanx a lot :)
Deleteok so did the install and now when i go and try to check the system settings it just locks up and shuts down....
ReplyDeletenever mind..it is working now
DeletePSP Go g5, 6.20 Pro B9 Permanent. I can verify that I have installed popsloader correctly (pops.txt is correct and placed correctly, and the plugin is enabled); I can access the version select screen when booting a game.
ReplyDeleteI cant get anything to work for Silent Hill NTSC-U. I own the game but the disk is scratched a bit. Ive downloaded numerous isos in case one was corrupt, but none have worked with any of the pops versions. I always get "Game could not be loaded (FFFFFFF) or (80000004)"
Ive had similar luck with Chrono Trigger.
Help me please. Im getting incredibly frustrated
I hope im not spamming, but NOTHING HAPPENS when i hit publish as livejournal. wtf
Silent Hill confirmed is worked.. Have you grab Silent Hill cd using PSX2PSP apps.. or if you missing some pops_0x files..
DeleteHopefully this tutorial can help you.., PopsLoader Plugins Guide..
