People who can help you unbrick/downgrade a PSP using Pandora

[Fanjita]

You can now unbrick or downgrade any PSP using the Pandora battery.  But to make a battery and memory stick, you need to have a homebrew-enabled PSP.  For those people with no homebrew, and no friends with homebrew, the following kind folks are offering their help to enable you to downgrade or unbrick your PSP.

Please note that trading in the memory stick is illegal - it involves trading decrypted, copyright sony material - so any mention of providing a conversion service will be deleted.  Yes, I know that sucks, sorry.  If you feel you want to take the risk of providing such a service, discuss it only in private with the people who get in touch with you.

If you have a Pandora battery, and are able to help out fellow homebrewers, please post in the following format:

• Your location
• Your level of experience downgrading / unbricking
• Any fee you wish to charge (I recommend a donation-based approach, rather than fixed fee)
• Any other conditions or relevant information, e.g. custom firmwares that you can install or other services

   
If you don't have a Pandora battery, and are just looking for someone to help you out, DO NOT POST - your post will just be removed.  Instead, just send a message to someone in the list who is in your area.

[Smayds]

Location: North Shore, Auckland, New Zealand

Experience: I've lost count of the number of PSPs I've downgraded. Done my own more times than I care to think about. To get some experience with Pandora's Battery, I decided to play File Roulette with flash0 Suffice to say that my PSP is still working. Other than that, I've never had a brick - not that that matters any more, of course

Fee: For me, nothing. I'm doing this to get people's PSP's resurrected or introduce them to the wonders of homebrew. For Team C+D, however, you can send them a couple of bucks. They did all the actual work, after all.

Other info: Get in touch via smayds at gmail dot com. I travel around Auckland a lot, and I'm happy to swing by if I'm going to be in your area, but I'd prefer you came to me. If you're out of Auckland, you can courier your PSP to me. I've also got the unpatched Lumines and GTA:LCS if you have the required firmware already. I'll also install the custom firmware of your choice.

[james125]

Location: Singapore

Experience: downgraded and unbricked 20+ psp sets

Fee: $15 to fund for my battery and time for travelling to meet you.

Other info:

email me at james125@hotmail.com to arrange a time and place to meet up, at either tampines, bedok or city hall mrt station. (:

[FreePlay]

Location: Schenectady, New York (eastern upstate)

Level of experience: Ridiculous (I've done it all, several times over)

Fee: None for the service; gas money if you want me to come for you, or return postage fees if you mail it

Details:

If you just want the battery/MS, you can mail those to me and I'll do it. If you want the full unbrick service, send your PSP.

I can install any custom firmwares you'd like. I've got them all set up sitting on my hard drive, ready for installation. If you send me your PSP, too, I can make a backup of your NAND chip that will allow you to run the higher official firmwares again, after flashing it on with the Pandora software.

Before I do, does offering to rent people a battery and Memory Stick that have already been set up go against your statement:
"trading in the memory stick is illegal - it involves trading decrypted, copyright sony material - so any mention of providing a conversion service will be deleted"?

[JDubPooch]

I have successfully created and used the Pandora's Battery to downgrade my v3.52 PSP, I also converted my battery back to normal and I am able to help out fellow PSPlayers.
I'm in Mesa, Arizona and I am willing to meet with people in the Mesa, Apcache Junction, Gilbert, Tempe, Chandler area.
I have downgraded two of my three PSPs using Lumines and now running 3.40 oe-a. (my third was running v3.52 and now is also 3.40 oe-a) I bought my first PSP the day they came out in the US and played a little with homebrew and then faded out but now I'm back again in full force.
I don't want anything in return. If you want to donate, then please make a donation to the noobz or other affiliated groups. I'm willing to travel in the Phoenix metro area outside of my own area but I would ask for a few bucks for gas money only but that is it.
If you want to send me your PSP then please do as others have asked and cover the mailing charges. If you have any questions, then feel free to email me or PM.
