i updated,but now PSP doesnt switch on properly!
ReplyDeletei tried switching it on,but it shuts down with the screen just showing a bright black screen
then,i tried holding R and turning it on,but it opened recovery menu and when i clicked exit,it just shuts down again
then when i tried holding home button and opening,it started official firmware...and i cant play my iso games!
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
@gaurav: you have a semi bricks psp, in this case CFw is not installed properly. You can recover it or re-install again. If you have a pandora's battery (DC8) will be very helpful. Try to follow these steps to recover your psp:,
ReplyDelete1. Boot your psp into Recovery menu, [hold R].
2. Select menu "Advance" and then select "Fotmat Flash 1 and...". and wait until the psp restart.
3. This will restore to the latest firmware installed. Ensure sufficient battery power and plug in your ac adapter.
4. Re-install CFw 6.60ME
This work? If not follow this step..:
1. Copy Eboot.pbp of CFw660ME to ms0:/PSP/GAME/. [without the folder].
2. Boot your psp into Recovery menu, then select "Run program at": This option launches a eboot program at boot time.
3. Follow the on screen to complete update!
Others, you need to make a pandora [DC8].
:)
Sorry, I mean Copy Eboot.pbp of CFw660ME to ms0:/PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/. (You can make a folder Recovey all in upper case.. :)
ReplyDeleteThe first step didnt work...formatted flash and tried to update,but said 'Game Could Not Be Started'
ReplyDeletethen tried the second step,selected the option in recovery menu ,but the PSP just switches on after that
I dont have a pandora battery also :/
I dont know what to do know :'(
PLEASE TELL ANY OTHER WAY?
SHOULD I INSTALL SOME OTHER FIRMWARE OR DOWNGRADE OR WHAT???
If you do not have a pandora this might work, but I've never tried it...
ReplyDelete1. Boot your psp into OFw [HOME].
2. Install LCFw 660ME link here... This light version/temporary.
3. Install CFw660ME again..
In step 1, can you boot the psp as normally? (without hold HOME)
Usually step 1 is successful, because you can boot into the OFW... these signs have been installed. unless, your psp IDstorage is corrupted.
I suggest you try again step 1, before trying the steps above... unless the psp can boot normally into OFW.
psp has 5.50 gen-d (full) model psp 2001. Want to upgrade to 6.60 ME-1.6. wht needs to be done??
ReplyDeleteno it doesnt work...have to hold home button
ReplyDeletetried installing LCFw,but didnt work
it restarts,then shuts down
and when i open from the launcher,it says model 01g and exits,and shuts down
what to do?
Just edit version.txt in Flash0 lower than 6.60. :)
ReplyDelete@gaurav: This one definitely works.. I've just TESTED it. This way will downgrade your psp back to 5:50GEN-D3.. Ok follow this step..
ReplyDelete1. Download XGEN v5, and copy the Eboot.pbp to ms0:/PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/. (Eboot Only).
2. Download OFw 5.50 and renamed it as 5.50.PBP, then copy it to the root. ms0:/.
3. Boot your psp into Recovery menu, then select "Run program at":...
This will launches XGEN program at boot time, select to install CFw5.50GEN-D3. When its done, you know how what the next >> CFW6.60ME.
Download all file needed here... and please report back if you need additional information... :)
no it didnt work :/
ReplyDeletei run it,then it just switiches off
ReplyDeletePut eboot.pbp from XGEN to ms0:/PSP/GAME/RECOVERY/EBOOT.PBP. is it correct? if this still does not work, it seems only a pandora is the solution..
ReplyDeleteI'll figure out other ways that might help.. yet there is another solution this time. sorry...
i did...
ReplyDeletehmmm
how do i make a pandora?
try to find other ways if possible :/
Follow this [DC8]., but you need a psp with CFw ready.. You can make the battery jigkick in your recovey menu, but not for magic stick...
ReplyDeleteHi gaurav, after I re-read your comments above, I forgot something in the recovery menu > Configuration > UMD ISO mode: select sony np9660.. This may cause XGEN not boot up..
ReplyDeletehmmm...
ReplyDeleteanymore settings that i have to change?
like version .txt or autorun PBP or anything else?
tried...but no success
Poor gaurav :))
ReplyDeleteif i have ofw 6.60, can i update to cfw me 1.6 directly??? or i have to install something else first??
ReplyDeleteNo, you can not, please refer to the version above which the installer works! You need to downgrade first..
ReplyDeleteI tried to start the updater, but it opened to where it says "do you want to download from the inernet?" and when i press x it gievs me the 80020148 error. please help. (p.s. im running version "cfw 5.50 gen d2")
ReplyDelete@Lea321: You need to download OFW 6.60 manually and put its into ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/660.PBP, read the installation above.!
ReplyDeletei have update to 6.60 (ofw). can i update to 6.60 me1.6 directly, or i have to install cfw pro???
ReplyDeletehi i've tried this on a psp 1003 the the system software says 6.60 me-1.6 but all the games i put on are corrupt data. i have also setup Leda.prx. do you know how to fix this?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: Depending on the model of your psp... This CFW is not for psp 03g-09g!
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: what games was in the correct folder? *.iso > ms0:/ISO/..
thanks .no i didn't put them in the right directory
ReplyDeletehi i hve this but when i put a game in like nfs shift it loads then it freezes.need help!!
ReplyDelete@jj: check the cpu and game clock on the vsh menu, this should be the default.. and set UMD iso mode to ME driver.. or you might have a corrupted games.. :)
ReplyDeleteis there a way to access the settings for the built in pops loader so you can change the settings? about half of my PSX games aren't booting after this update :( I'm not blaming anyone, but i would really like to get these bugs worked out. aside from that, i dig this firmware! this is the first time in a LONG time I've even considered upgrading from 5.00 M33-6
ReplyDeletesome of the games that aren't working for me:
Dragon Warrior VII
Chrono trigger
Legend of mana
and there are a lot more..
If I have 6.20 tn-d permanent installed, is it okay for me to run this CFW 6.60ME v1.6 directly? Or should I uninstall the perma patch first? I have the psp 1004 version.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: You need to update Pops loader plugins.. :-)
ReplyDelete@Alex: Yes you can install directly... for the safety, ensure your Pandora battery is ready to go, so you can recover if get an error.. :-)
I'm on 6.60 PRO B9. Please can someone tell me how to change/update to this. BTW, I cannot get the signed version of Cave Story to work. It just freezes at a black screen on running. Any help would be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI've done everything mentionned in the readme and all I get is:
ReplyDeleteUnpacking... done.
Please wait...
But after that, nothing... How long must I wait?
What your psp version? you might use the wrong EBOOT update, or if there is a corrupted psp idstrorage.. so, you need pandora to fix its.. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy bad!! I was running on an OFW! I've used the Heelcat CFW enabler and installed 5.00 M33-6 and then ran the 6.60 me and all went well!
ReplyDeleteI now have a fully functional psp running on the latest CFW 6.60! ;)
I ADDED TO MY PSP BUT IT DOSENT START WORKING.MY VERSION IS 6.60 I DON'T HAVE A PANDORA BATTERY
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: Please follow the anonymous above you Heelcat CFW enabler....., because I do not have that file, google is your friend for this.. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi I have a psp(fat 1000) with 6.60 ME. It showed error when I try to convert my pandora battery back to normal in recovery mode. Any ideas? I also tried plug in the magic memory card (the one I used to create the panadora battery) but its still show error. Thanks a lot !
ReplyDelete@Kob: You probably know, there are two ways to create a pandora battery, softmod and hardmod.. You can not revert back the hardmoded battery using the softmoded method. So, try again you are researching which method is used.. Here's some guide may help you:
ReplyDeleteHardmod: Pandora's Battery without a Homebrew PSP.
Softmod: Pandora's Battery.... .:-)
How do I copy the umd iso onto my computer? I've entered the recovery menu and set the usb to umd, but I don't know where to go from there.
ReplyDeleteYou need UMD Dump plugins installed on your psp.. :-)

@Amir: It seems you have a corrupted idstorage of your psp (Semibrick), you need pandora battery for regeneration new psp idstorage.. :-)
ReplyDeleteim a noob but i was wondering if i can use kernal 1.5 for 6.60 b9 because i want the universal remote app
ReplyDeleteHi, purnomo, I have a problem with my 6.60ME FW, I accidently deleted the flash0 folder and now my psp freeses at teh coldboot. I have a pandora battery, but not sure how to use it. Is it possible to just get the 6.60 ME flash0 files and copy them over to my flash0 as I can still access the recovery menu.
ReplyDeletethanks
@mrmrblakey: If you can Boot your psp into Recovery menu, try to reset first... Select menu "Advance" and then select "Format Flash 1 and...". and wait until the psp restart. This will restore to the latest firmware installed.
ReplyDeleteUsing other flash0 files will have some of key functionality will not work, e.g UMD, Network..
Pandora Battery Usage:
1.The first Remove the UMD, Battery, Memory Stick, and AC adaptor from the PSP.
2.Insert the Memory Stick ("Magic Memory Stick"), Then, Insert the battery ("JigKick Battery") You prepared into the PSP.
3.Power lights will turn on directly (PSP Boot up), and a menu will appear. Follow the onscreen instructions to reflash your PSP.
:-)

ReplyDeleteYou have brick your psp, see the comment above @mrmrblakey:...

ReplyDelete=((
Can you Boot your psp into Recovery menu? try to reset first... Select menu "Advance" and then select "Format Flash 1 and...". and wait until the psp restart. If this does not work, you need a pandora battery to fix it.
Deletei use 660 on my psp go but the iso and cso game file didn't come out. where should i put it?
ReplyDelete@Tengku Ahmad Syamil: Put your game *.iso / cso into ms0:/ISO/.
Deleteit seems i can't find the hide mac address on the recovery menu...what could be the problem...hmmm
ReplyDeletenever mind finally solved it...:)
ReplyDeletei cant find my iso and cso games on my memory stick. i tried to put it in ms0:/ISO/. But it didnt work. what should i do?
ReplyDeleteWhat is your psp CFW/ version?
Deletehello. it says that i don't have 6.60.pbp. what the heck is that? cannot update it 'cause of that
ReplyDelete@jm: Please Re-read the Full article above.. you need OFW 6.60 eboot renamed as 660.pbp inside update folder..
Deletehello... i upgraded to 6.60 from 5.00 then it works fine with the games at first but them the after a few days when i was playing games the home button keep appearing saying 'do you want to quit the game' repeatedly at everytime it does the music went to silent... please help me
ReplyDeleteThat is the hardware problem on the Home bar button, and its require replacement.
DeleteI have the 5.00M33 is there any reason for me to upgrade to this version? If I upgraded would I be able to play more psx games that are not compatible with 5.00M33? Would my laggy snes and other emulators run better?
ReplyDeleteUpdate version is not required if you still can play the games.. most new games require newer firmware as well.
DeletePsx game does not rely on CFW, but the popsloader plugin, also with the emulator. You better make sure first, whether the emulator / plugin is compatible with this CFW.
Hi there,
ReplyDeleteI'm having trouble installing 6.60me, the install seems to work fine but when it reboots it just gives me a black screen and then turns off. I can boot into 6.60ofw by holding home button and I can also access the recovery menu. I have a pandora so getting back to 5.00M33 is no problem. I tried several times with different 6.xxcfw but I seem to get the same result everytime, after install when it reboots it just gives me a black screen.
Anyone had the same problem and know of a fix?
Thanks in advance
It seems you have a corrupted idstorage of your psp. Using pandora, Try to format your flash1, then regenerate a new idstorage, and install 5.00M33 first, then 6.60ME.. What this fix the problem?
DeleteUnfortunately I'm still getting that same black screen after following your instructions :(
Deletehave you tried to update to ofw6.60, is this still gives a black screen? if not, then you can try to install ME with the installer for OFw6.60. give it a try...
DeleteOtherwise, you have a bad nand...
