is it ok if i hex edit your elf to make the output folder to ms0:/nanddump? so it can have the compatibility with nand manager

If you can use a hex editor, what you do with it after you got it from me is your business

If you haven't noticed, I can't stress this enough:
By all reports writing the EEPROM using the fat battery methods on a Slim's battery will result in a broken/non-working Slim battery. So, don't do it unless you happen to feel like wasting your cash/battery.

Sorry but when I read stuff like that I get worried. If I use .5 on my slim battery, and I try to restore the EEPROM, is my battery going to die or blow up on me, or was this from earlier versions? What is the proper method to write the EEPROM to a Slim Battery?

(I am the only one of my friends with a CFW PSP so I need a way to make a safe Slim Pandora Battery that I can easily convert back if needed)

Thanks head of time for the answer.

It works fine on a slim battery, just don't use a slim battery with a fat PSP (there have been mixed results of possibly bricked batteries.) What I was speaking of earlier in your quote was basically some fear mongering that was over-hyped by others who did some very weird things to their batteries (like trying to convert a slim battery in a fat PSP back before an app was made to run under 3.xx firmware.)

I and many others have since tested and confirmed that it is relatively safe (there will never be 0% risk with any home made software, always always make backups before modifying anything) to modify the serial of slim's batteries, if done on a slim PSP and used to put a slim PSP into service mode.

Indeed, time flies when you are... er aren't er... whatever happens to be the case I guess

0.52 uploaded to the first post, if you don't have issues with 0.5 there is no real reason to update. All it does is handle the error code from syscon better so that it will display the full error when a unknown error comes up.

I would like to say a BIG thanks to @cory149 especially as I've come straight in and leeched this great tool.

I Can CONFIRM corly149 tool ospbt_0.52 works fine on Slim Bat made on a Slim PSP running 3.71 M33-2 then back to normal after using Bat and despertar_cementerio v4 so running 3.80 M33-5.

I did then create again with 3.80 M33-5 just to make sure and that worked fine to.

Many Many Thanks again.

I don't know how it did it...but it did.

I messed up my PSP Slim battery and it couldn't run at all, couldn't even be recognized as a battery by the slot (light wouldn't turn orange, no icon, etc). I set the battery and PSP for a while and later found this. I plugged in the adapter, turned on my PSP, put the program in, plugged in my PSP Slim battery (the light finally turned orange, so it was charging at least), ran it, and then I read what it said. Program couldn't even tell what it was on I think. I hit it to normalize the battery, and boom, it works again.

It may sound dumb but my slims battery wont return to normal mode... Im returning to normal using this mode (i use the prepared eeprom with 123456 etc numbers) and it is detected as normal battery even after turning the program twice, but after turning off the psp it wont turn on - only without the battery with the charger and the program says that the battery is in the service mode. any clues? i'd be veery grateful

ps. im using freshly installed 3.71 m33-2

[Stromlancer]

Lemme ask you this: has your battery ever been opened and a strand cut?

[kaosman]

nope i havent used the invasion-pandoring technique. But one thing is strange: my battery is seen in the menu and is charging...

[Stromlancer]

Man...do you get an error when you try to convert it to normal? Also, have you been using the battery without the adapter? That would probably explain the charging thing.

[kaosman]

When im using Open Source Pandora Battery Tool 0.52 the battery can be converted with no errors. When i turn off my psp and turn on (without the charger) the led is green and the system wont load. after inputting the charger the battery starts to charge, with no asnwer from the sistem, still. the only way i can use my psp normally (geez) is to remove any energy source and (using the ac charger) turn the psp on and put the battery back in.

ps. Newest news: after turning the psp on as explained up, i remove the ac and enter the sleepmode. after turning on the screen turns on but reamins black forever.

Ps2: and i forgot to add that i'm a douchebag and i forgot to backup my eeprom

i don't think my battery is pandora proof, beacause i used it to convert my psp from 3.80 m33 back to 3.71 m33 (coz the mms driver sucked) but the battery converting process looked strange - i was using the Uniwersal unbricker/downgrader for PSP Classic & PSP Slim and the pandora creator said i had an error. so i thought "screw this i wont go back to previous software" but after turning my psp on (with the magic ms and the "nonpandored" battery i realized i got the downgrading menu! i happily pushed the x button and pah! i have 3.71 m33-2 now, but my battery seems kinda... stressed with all that work i asked her to do... lol?


Problem still actual guys. Plz help me!

[Hejira]

I would like to make an addition to my earlier post given @kaosman problems, I didn't really think much of it at the time but, after turning my bat back to normal I had green power light n black screen after PSP entered sleep mode, didn't seem to respond with normal flick power so I held power for approx 15 seconds which powered off PSP fully. I also shortened sleep settings to test. Bat has functioned normally since.

i made the battery, but how do i use it? should i just put it in the other psp?
