By calsijnm  //  Custom Firmware  //  No Comments

If you already have a Custom Firmware and you want to update it to the lastest version, you should follow this How To. If your current cfw is lower then 5.00M33-6, make sure you update first :

How to Upgrade an Old CFW to 5.00M33-6

Requirements

If you have cfw 5.00 M33-6 or later you may be interested in upgrading it to the latest stuff. So you need:

  • a psp with cfw 5.00 M33-6 or later (see warning below !)
  • ALL plugins disabled
  • a battery that is at least 78% charged
  • The XGen updater
  • 2 minutes of your time

 

WARNING !

If you are on cfw 5.50 GEN B, then you MUST update to 5.50 GEN B2 first!!

 

Let's go to work!

  • Connect your PSP to your PC and enable the USB-Connection
  • Download and unzip the XGen Updater to your PC. Put the content of the PSP folder to your PSP. This means you have to end up with X:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/EBOOT.PBP
  • Put the 550.PBP file to the root of your Memory Stick
  • On your PSPs XMB navigate to GAME >> Memory Stick >> 5.50 GEN D-3

  • Select ENTER and press X
  • Select Flash Install CFW 5.50 GEN D-3 (first option) and press X
  • At the end of the process, press X to restart your PSP
  • Welcome to CFW 5.50 GEN D-3 !
  • Oh, and if your PSP is a phat, System Setting will show "5.50 GEN-D (full)".
    A psp slim will show "5.50 GEN D-3"
