How To Install ChickHEN R2

By calsijnm  //  Custom Firmware, PSP-3000/PSP-2000v3  //  3 Comments

PSP 3000 (2000v3)-users can install ChickHEN R2. It is a homebrew enabler. But is also opens doors to Custom Firmware fot PSP 3000 (2000v3) owners.

 

Requirements

  • a PSP-3000 or a PSP-2000 with a TA083v3 motherboard.
  • Official firmware 5.03. If your firmware is higher : no CFW for you mate, sorry.
  • ChickHEN R2

 

Let's go to work !

 

  • If your official firmware is below 5.03, you need to update your PSP first. Enable the USB-Connection on your PSP. Place the 503.PBP file inside X:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE. Disconnect from USB and on your PSP navigate to GAME >> Memory Stick >> 5.03 Firmware and press X. This should bring you to OFW 5.03.
  • On your PSP now navigate to Settings >> System Settings >> Restore Default Settings and press X

     
  • In the same menu turn off UMD Auto Start and UMD Cache
  • Still in Systems Settings, make sure the Character Set is set to US

     
  • Now navigate to Settings >> Theme Settings and select Classic
  • OK, now download and unzip ChickHEN R2 to your computer
  • Enable a USB Connection and put h.bin in the root of your Memory Stick, this means X:/h.bin
  • Place the CHICKHEN folder (inside the SLIM folder) to your psp in  x:/PSP/PHOTO  so you end up with  x:/PSP/PHOTO/CHICKHEN
  • Disconnect from USB and completely turn off you PSP (holding the power button up for 5 seconds)
  • Restart your PSP and go to Photo >> Memory Stick and WAIT until the options menu appears.
  • Hit X to open the ChickHEN folder and see the magic
  • This method may take several tries to work!
  • PSP 3000/2000v3 owners can now proceed to install cfw: How To Install 5.03 GEN-C

  • my psp is 2000 but how do i know if its v3? this is so hard. you need chickHEN to know the version of the psp. but chickHEN requires v3? its a bit contradicting. help?

  • @ Cline
    I recommend you to upgrade to official firmware 5.03 an the run PSPident in combination with ChikckHEN R2. If your firmware is above 5.03, then no custom firmware for you, I’m afraid.

  • so i was told i could install cfw with my 4.01 psp. so i think i wont need ChinkHEN to figure that (if psp is hackable) out. thanks.
