Tutorial By: SwoRNLeaDejZ
6.3x Downgrader: Davee
6.20 PRO & 6.35 PRO: Coldbird and VF
6.20 Firmware: SONY (LMAO!)


*************************************************************

First off, this permanent CFW patch only works in 6.20. If you are at 6.31 or 6.35, follow the steps in the first section to downgrade to 6.20. Also, 6.20 PRO B4 Permanent only works up to 05g, as well as the downgrader. If you are higher than 05g, do not attempt

*************************************************************

This permanent patch DOES work on a PSP 3000, i just installed it on mine, so NO MORE PATCHING after a cold reboot. It works on ALL PSP Models, 01g-05g, but you try it at your own risk, and assume all responsibility for any damage done to your PSP.



*************************************************************
Step 1: Downgrading from 6.35 to 6.20
*************************************************************

First, you must download this file:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Once you download that file, connect your PSP to your PC, and drag the PSP folder inside the .zip file you downloaded onto your PSP. It will ask to merge all folders, select YES.

1.) Go to the GAME section of your XMB and select the Memory Stick icon.
2.) Select the program called DOWNGRADER
3.) Once it loads, accept the first part, it will verify everything.
4.) It will then start the official Sony 6.20 Update.
5.) Follow the steps to install 6.20 firmware
6.) Restart your PSP (if you see a screen with a bunch of foreign words hit either CIRCLE or X and it will restart again)
7.) Select all of your settings, and move on to the next step.

*************************************************************
Step 2: Installing the PRO B4 Patch
*************************************************************

Now that you are in 6.20, download this file:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Once you download the file, open it, you will see three folders. Connect your PSP to your computer, and open the PSP folder, next open the GAME folder. Drag ALL THREE of the PRO B4 FOLDERS into the GAME folder on your PSP.

1.) First, you need to run the PRO B4 Updater. Go to the GAME section of your XMB and select the Memory Stick Icon.
2.) Run the PRO B4 Updater (it is the one with NO WORDS next to it, the permanent patch will say permanent patch, and the quick recovery one will say quick recovery next to it, you want the one with NO WORDS and the Genesis Competition background)
3.) Once it opens, it will say to press X to install CFW, PRESS X!
4.) It will install the CFW, and say Press X to Reboot in CFW, PRESS X AGAIN!

Now you have 6.20 PRO B4 installed, move on.

1.) Next you have to run Quick Recovery. Go to the GAME section of the XMB and select the Memory Stick Icon.
2.) Select the PRO B4 Quick Recovery program
3.) It will run, and then go right back to the XMB

Now you are in Quick Recovery Mode and can move forward.

1.) Now you are ready to install the Permanent Patch, select it from the game section of the XMB.
2.) It will prompt you to press X to install the permanent patch, PRESS X!
3.) It will then give you a warning, you can dismiss the warning, and install the Patch, BY PRESSING CIRCLE, PRESS CIRCLE!
4.) It will say Install Completed.

Congratulations, you just installed PERMANENT CFW on your PSP 3000 (or 1000, 2000, or GO)

This is just like 6.35 PRO B3, only difference i have found so far? NO NEED TO REPATCH AFTER A COLD REBOOT!!! WOOOT WOOOT!!!! Try it out, pull out the battery, put it back in, boot up your PSP, and go to system settings.. ill wait.. go ahead.. PRETTY SICK HUH? Still says 6.20 PRO B4!!!

Rep + if you used this tutorial!

I'll rep+ because that's a very nice tut.

I should get rep+ for pure epicness of post. That's perma CFW on a PSP 3000, ill make a video today, it works for 03g and 04g (the downgrader anyway, the patch will work all the way up to 09g)

works perfect on my 3001...probly the greatest thing to happen for CFW's since m33-6 and the Inferno ISO Driver is the shit....dont forget to use some of that great music again for the video tut bro, lol....ill send ya a new track for it.


Reo++++++

Absolutely bro, i need some critically EPIC music. Production of the video will begin promptly at 4 PM today.

I just tried to do this and it didn't work. My firmware was at 5.03 and I upgraded to 6.20 for this. When I loaded up the PRO update and clicked "x" to restart into CFW, my PSP screen stayed black for about 15 seconds and then it completely shutoff. Each time that I try, it does the same thing.

Backround Info:

-PSP Brite Model 3004
-03g

Here is the problem. I assume when you had 5.03, you have GEN installed. As such, i assume you also had plugins. You're plugins are interfering with the PRO installation.

Connect your PSP to your computer. Open up VSH.txt inside of SEPLUGINS. Each line should have either a ZERO or a ONE at the end of it, change ANY that have ONES to ZEROES. Now, save and close VSH.txt. Next open GAME.txt, and do the same thing change all ONES to ZEROES. Now save and close GAME.txt.

Now try installing PRO again, it should work.

Also, make sure your battery is good and charged.

yessir. you the man Sworn!

I am assuming it worked

You are very welcome.

i guess i then dont have to install any other updates or anything or i still need a path to get online to games like FTB3? and ill rep+ because this helps alot!
