Custom Firmware 5.03GEN-A for ChickHEN Released: Support for the PSP-3000!


Booyaka! Just what you've been waiting for... No, it's not the next M33 CFW -- it's Custom Firmware 5.03GEN-A for Team Typhoon's ChickHEN. It offers all the benefits of 5.02GEN-A, plus the following --

  • PSP-3000 and PSP-2000 v3 Support
  • PSOne Game Support
  • ISO/UMD Backup Support
  • GEN VSH MENU
  • Recovery in VSH available (some bugs remain - see the README)
  • Access to PSN

How to install 5.03GEN-A:

  1. Connect your PSP to the computer via USB when you have loaded ChickHEN R2
  2. Unzip 5.03GEN-A
  3. Double click on "LAUNCH-ME.exe" (GUI)
  4. PSP Model: depending on your PSP, choose the option PSP-2000 or PSP-3000
  5. Mode: Choose option FULL
  6. PSP Install: Choose option YES
  7. Push START
  8. The files are copied on your PSP
  9. Disconnect the PSP from USB
  10. Launch the main EBOOT.PBP using ChickHEN R2 (only R2! NOT R1!).
  11. When the app loads, press L or R to flash the firmware in your flash. YOU ONLY NEED MAKE IT ONE TIME!
  12. Press CIRCLE to reboot in the custom firmware.

Props to those over at pspgen and everyone else involved -- real nice work. If you're English speaking and need help, refer to this thread.

"First-Guy" got pwened!

hey guys i have a psp 3000 with firmware 4.21 i think it is, or maybe 4.20, not sure.will this be able to go onto it?i've been searching for a while for some cusotn firmware and i hope this will work!thanks

bro have you search for the 4.21 firmware? thats the version of my psp3k too

Upgrade to ofw 5.03 ,run ChickHEN R2 and then you will be able to run the GEN-A

I have updated firmware 5.51. It wont let me change the firmware im using. Is there anyway around this problem? like anyway to reformat?

anyone get this to work on 5.51 yet???

...If you're using a custom firmware why in the hell are you talking about 5.51 which is an official firmware release?Don't you understand what's the deal here...?You installed a CUSTOMIZED firmware... so if you change/upgrade it, then boooom, the hack is gone...DAMN!Go to google and translate from portuguese to your language: "EU SOU UM BURRO DE MERDA"

lame.this kinda sucks.. i was kinda hoping no one would make the 3000 able to play heh.. "backups"w/e. guess people never learn.

ahhh perfect my friends been waiting for this for awhile now he can play monster hunter with us haha.

well goody for 3000 users :-]

Same here! My 1st PSP, finally hacked! How many are noobs like me?

actually, i have a psp 3004 with 2.4 firmware does it work on my psp, can i do this hack ??

my screen gos blank then shuts off after the installation.. im runing a psp 2000v3

that happens to me 2

hm..i tryed to reformat mem stick, res. to default settings, tryed to reinstall the chicken and all that.. but still no luck. let me know if you figure it out. bummer ;(

"THIS IS FOR PSP3000s ONLY, DO NOT USE THIS FOR PSP2000s AS IT STILL HAS BUGS AND CAN RUIN THE PSP2000.." looks like it isnt supposed to work in 2000

•PSP-3000 and PSP-2000 v3 Support

it supports psp 2000 too, you fail

The FIX!what i did to fix my psp2k ta 088v31. Format ur PSP Memory Stick using the PSP itself whilst on OFW2. RESET the psp to factorymode3. Download an Official ChickHEN R2 Package made by Davee and davee's chickhen only not any modded packs or what ever4. This step may take a lil while but try too run the HEN in any way u want just dont use the Modded Ones5. Put the m33 CFWEnabler v1.0 on the Memory stick dont try the newer versions just try v1.0 Flash it too ur Flash0 5. Get the 2.10 Version Flash it too ur flash0 6. And last but not at least Flash the 2.51 version on the PSP's Flash0try this

thx. i was about to commit suicide xD

let me know if u get it to work, im still having problems when doing all that.

i done what you done (h20) i had the same problem but i only got to step 5.when i cheked my system info i got version 5.00m33, can i use it like normal m33 with iso games and psp games..... or do i need to installm33 CFWEnabler 2.10...and 2.51?

wow psp3000 support go Gen-A

Nothing for the 1001?

You need smacked sooooooo damn hardUse REAL CFW!JESUS!

LMFAO

i agree!lol!

Omg, really...

wow I thought DAX was gonna kill it first but it looks like I was wrong about time for 3000 users.

Okay, help me out here guys, this is just like CFWEnabler in that, once I hard boot the system, it goes back to normal, and is not permanent, so that when an M33 is finally released, I can install that, right?

yes ofcourse you don't have to worry... if team m33 lauch CFW obviously that would be 5.50m33

Cool, thanks, I hope this works better with CWCheat that CFWE251.

I though Dax said there were going to be no more M33 releases on his site.

Oops were not*

argh tired I did type it right the first time lol

Yes but, you CANNOT EVER instal m33, unless the Pre-ipl is solved

the launch me thing doesnt do anything. can anyone help me?

apparently this is just a custom firmware enabler, so after shuting down your psp it will comeback to original firmware, perfect for those TA83v3 & 3000 users.

Download:ChickHEN R2Custom Firmware 5.03GEN-A for ChickHEN R2It has both here... "enabler" and customized firmware

What about updates to the PSP 1000?

...I hate you people...

wow...dude if your really that big of a n00b then go to a forum before crowding the comment boards

.............Are you really that god damn stupid moron if you have a PSP 1000 just use normal CFW nub. yeah being that dumb your not even noob status your a disgrace to noobs hence your a damn nub.

Does this enabler flash anything on the PSP-3000? I don't want to wreck mine.

It does but, read the readme. It says that if you rename (dont delete since you cant flash anymore if you delete this) flasher.prx, you cant flash ANYTHING from/to your PSP meaning you're safe. Dont even try to add a flashable theme to this. If you mess with vshmain then your psp might get a UNREPAIRABLE SUPER ~!@#$%^&*S!#$%^&* BRICK AND YOUR MOM WILL DO SOMETHING TO YOU.have fun

lol =]

Can you delete the files that were flashed?I mean let's say i don't want to use gen anymore, can i delete the flashed files that were used by gen from flash0?

Don't delete ANYTHING from the flash0. There is no pandora for the psp 2000v3 and psp 3000. Doing anything with the flash0 is very dangerous and can make your PSP well....It will be the same as a stone brick, but worth 200 dollars.

i assume we need to figure a way to make 3000's to be flashed by pandora for the safe way heh

Yes, but even if the 3000/v3 would boot a pandora, no matter how we flashed the OFW, it would brick thanks to the new pre ipl.Now the only way i could think of getting past that is if we could mess with the motherboard and the pre ipl itself OR if we could control what files are flashed with an OFW update,or for that matter, what makes OFW Updates any different from flashing
