So lets say my friends 3004 PSP is fully hackable, I installed chickHEN R2 and PspIdent on OFW 5.03. What do I do next? Just download CFW 5.00 M33 put it on the mem stick it and run it from the psp menu? Am really confused on the last step

No! Be carefull. PSP 3000's are not fully hackable. Delete that CFW 5.00m33 installer. If you was to install this you would have bricked your psp. PSP 3000 can run CFWenabler only.

Oh thank god you told me lol!
So there is no way of installing CFW on a 3000 permanently? Will I have to load chickHEN every time I switch my psp off??

yep. the way you get around that is by leaving your psp in stand-by instead of completely turning it off.

How do I enable standby? Just leave it on for a few minutes?

no. if you flick the power button up for like 1/2 second instead of holding it (which you would normally do to power it down completely) then it will enter stand-by. flick it again to make it active again. it is very battery efficient and will allow you to keep your cfw for as long as your battery doesnt fully lose power.

Oh ok I thing I got it.
Now for a slim(2000) is the procedure the same?(chickHEN->PspIdent->CFW Enabler) And it a permanent install right?

you can, but cfw enabler is not a permanent cfw. the reason why you have to use cfw enabler on the psp-3000 is because their mobos arent fully hackable. but since the mobos on the psp-2000 are fully hackable (except for the TA-088v3) then you can install one of the permanent cfws (m33 or 5.50 gen-a/b). you still need to run pspident and check your mobo before you install anything.

i wrote a guide for situations like this, you can check it out here:

Well for PSP 2000, if might be hackable or partially hackable. Thats why you should run chickHEn R2, then run PSPIDENT, then find out what mobo you have. If its fully hackable, you can install full CFW. If its partially hackable, then you can install CFWenabler.

Yeah but how do I install full CFW on 2000? Just put the CFW file on mem stick and run it?
Thats whats unclear to me
