WARNING
You must follow this read me completely, DO NOT skip any of the steps, the only step you can skip is the battery one.
REMOVE ANY CUSTOM THEMES/PRX'S FROM FLASH0 BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH UPMS INSTALLER.
DO NOT switch off you PSP until the Installer has finished.
Items Required
An original Pro Duo Memory Stick that is at least 512mb for Nand Backup. A Pro Memory stick with 64mb will suffice for basic functions.
A psp running custom firmware (it is best for the psp to be running a minimum of 3.52m33 or 3.71-2m33) with a battery at least 75% full (ideally 100% full).
1.50Eboot renamed to 150.PBP
1.50Eboot renamed to UPDATE.PBP
3.71Eboot renamed to 371.PBP
3.80Eboot renamed to 380.PBP
U.P.M.S cso application.
Method
UPDATE FOR V3R3
Clean Memory Stick Option
If you already have a working Pandora or UPMS stick, there is no need to format it.
Launch UPMSInstaller and press X to bypass the fatms371 mod install, goto firmware options and select Clean Memory Stick, this will remove and previous installation but only the system files, so if you have NandDumps or other files in the PSP/ folder this option will not remove them.
Once this is complete, you can then continue to install your desired firmware.
Time Machine by Dark_AleX
You can select to install or run Time Machine from the Utilities Menu, selecting this option will exit UPMSInstaller and Launch Time Machine.
Choose both option 1 and option 2 from the Time Machine's menu.
Then choose your desired firmware install, make sure you have the required EBOOT's on the root of your Memory Stick.
After install you will need to edit the config.txt file for the desired buttons to boot into the various firmwares or UPMS/Pandora.
Note 1
If you already own a Pandora battery and memory stick without the multi-boot function you must remove your battery and plug in the AC cable, but the memory stick can remain inserted.
Note 2
If you are running a psp with custom firmware 3.80M33 installed you will have a slightly different install sequence.
This sequence will involve the writing of files to your Flash 0.
Note 3
The U.P.M.S installer now has an application embedded that will enable you to format a fake memory stick (you are still advised to use an original pro duo stick).
Steps
1 Switch on your psp.
2 Make sure your psp is set to run the Sony NP9660 umd iso driver if you are running 3.52cfw or above.
3 Scroll to the USB icon and connect to the computer.
4 Back up the entire contents of your memory stick to a safe folder on your computer (just to keep anything you may require later e.g. music etc).
5 Disable the psp from the computer.
6 Scroll to System Settings and press X, then scroll to Format Memory Stick and press X to format the stick.
7 After the memory stick has been formatted scroll back to the USB icon and connect to the computer.
ONLY FOLLOW THESE IF YOU ARE USING A FAKE STICK
7.1 Format your Fake with the PSP's format option first, this will clear the boot area of unsuccessful trys.
7.2 If you are using a fake memory stick copy in to the ISO folder the U.P.M.S cso file (this is just drag and drop).
7.3 Disconnect from the computer.
7.4 Scroll to the Game icon in the XMB and then scroll to the Memory Stick icon press X and then press X again to run the installer.
7.5 If running 3.80M33+ the software will detect this and write a file to Flash0 (this will enable the IPL to be written).
7.6 You should return to the XMB
7.7 Press X and X again.
7.8 Press X.
7.9 Scroll to the option that says format memory stick and format your stick by pressing X.
7.10 Remove your memory stick and reinsert while UPMS is still running, then press X.
7.11 Scroll to the USB icon and connect to the computer.
8 Copy all the downloaded and renamed eboots on to the root of your memory stick (this is just drag and drop). The root of the memory stick is the very first level that you see when connected to the computer.
9 Open up the ISO folder and copy in to it the U.P.M.S cso file (this is just drag and drop).
10 Disconnect from the computer.
11 Scroll to the Game icon in the XMB and then scroll to the Memory Stick icon press X and then press X again to run the installer.
11.1 If running 3.80M33 the software will detect this and write a file to Flash0 (this will enable the IPL to be written).
11.2 Press X and you should return to the XMB
11.3 Press X and then X again
11.4 Press X again to start the installer.
12 Run step 1 choosing to load the sleeper fix multi IPL (this will allow the battery to be used as normal), when done go to the next step.
If you already own a Pandora battery you can miss step2, if not run step2.
13 Run step 2 and your battery EEPROM will automatically be backed up to the memory stick if it is not already there (this will be needed to convert your battery back if needed), and then convert your battery to a Pandora.
14 After making the Pandora battery plug in the AC cable.
15 Run step 3 to install the firmware that is required to make your U.P.M.S or if you wish you can run the full installer and miss step 4 (this may take awhile but be patient as long as the memory stick light is flashing it is still working)
16 Run step 4 to install all of the application that you might require if in the previous step you choose to only load the U.P.M.S with out utilities.
17 Exit installer.
You should now have the ultimate unbricker/downgrader.
The battery and stick combination is now capable of doing all the following:
1 Upgrade a slim to 3.71-2 M33
2 Upgrade a phat to 3.71-2 M33 w/1.50-2 kernel patch
3 Upgrade a slim to 3.81-5 M33
4 Upgrade a phat to 3.81-5 M33 w/1.50 kernel patch
5 Downgrade a phat to 1.50
6 Upgrade a phat straight to 3.52 M33 from Extended Boot Menu then install update 4 via XMB with no need to downgrade to 1.50
7 Start up a psp with Ultimate Loader with support for choosing which Pandora you require V1, V3 or V4 (by holding down the L trigger)
8 Boot to the XMB with the Pandora battery inserted (Phat Only)
9 Boot to a full 1.50 firmware from the memory stick (Phat Only)
10 Use PSPFiler and other tools (if it requires 1.50 slims can't as there is no 1.5 kernel)
11 Upgraded a phat or slim to 3.71-4 M33 from the XMB with the update
12 Recover a bricked psp (phat or slim)
