Get a pandora battery & make a MMS using Rains UltraLite MMS Maker for 5.00 M33-4, PSP Hacks - PSP Slim Hacks

Then

.:: Using DCv8 ::..
Create a magic memory stick (MMS) using the program of your choice. Links can be found in the "Links" section.
Turn off the PSP and remove the normal battery & memory stick.
Insert the MMS.
Hold down the "L" shoulder button.
Insert the Pandora battery.

Once the menu boots, you will be greeted with a number of options:

(Notice: these options may be different when using the XGEN Panora versions)

Install 5.00 M33 - Installs a fresh version of 5.00 M33-4

Ok. I've seen somewhere that i can make a "pandora" batter with already hacked psp (i have 3004 hacked) and put it into 1004 so i dont need to hard-mod it? After tht i can just turn it back. Am i right?

No, you can only make a pandora battery from an already hacked 1000 ( all of them ) or a 2000 with ta-085v1 motherboard.

i've one 2000 also hacked. how to i know if it has ta-085v1 ? and how exactry do i make pandora batery with it?

[ultimakillz]

run this program to check your mobo version:
PSPident 0.4 - Find out what PSP Motherboard you have., PSP Hacks - PSP Slim Hacks

then tell us what it is and we will proceed from there

[ultimakillz]

i suggest this site. it has info on softmodding and hardmodding as well as pics & screen shots:
How To Create a Pandora Battery « How it should be

[antireal]

once i make a pandora battery...can i than still use it in the psp aas normal battery? will it work?

[ultimakillz]

if you are softmodding it then you can convert it back and use it as normal. but if you are hardmodding it then thats a different story. if you want to use it as a normal battery then you can try using lead from a pencil to bridge the gap you cut making it a pandora battery. its best not to use a pandora battery as a normal battery.
