guide to pandora for slim&fat to install 3.71 m33 by u_c_taker
first u need a a memory stick produo of 2gb or less in size
a psp 1000(aka fat psp) on a custom firmware with 3.xx kernel
a psp 1000 series battery(aka fat psp battery)
the files provided with the thread
3.71 , 1.50 and 3.40 updates

note : memorystick duo is not compatable and so make sure u have a produo
       some fakes may not work but some will as i used my 2gb fake to make a pandora memory stick
       some new batteries have been reportedly patched

step1:format ur memory stick with windows to fat or fat32
     it is advised that u don't use quick format

step2:download the rar provided with this thread and open it u will see a folder called msformat
      and some other folders extract it to the root of c drive in a folder called pandora
      now click start»run and type command command prompt will open up now
      type cd.. till it says only c:
      now type cd pandora
      cd msformat
      and type mspformat x (x is the drive letter of the memory stick u want to format)
      now remove your memory stick and unplug the usb
      

step3:copy the contents of despertar_cementerio3 folder to your memory stick here x:\PSP\GAME
      copy the 3.71, 1.50 and 3.40 eboots to the root of the memory stick and name them as
      371.pbp , 150.pbp and 340.pbp respectively
      now make sure your psp game folder kernel is set to 3.xx
      run the despertar_cementerio3 from ur psp
      it will create all the necessary folders and a file called msipl.bin will also appear
      at the root of the memory stick
      you can delete 340.pbp and 150.pbp now as they are not needed but 371.pbp is needed

step4:now open command again and type cd.. till only c: appears
      type cd pandora
      cd msinst
      type msinst x x:\msipl.bin (x is the letter of the memory stick on your pc)
      this will flash special ipl to your psp

step5:copy the contents of the battery creator to x:\PSP\GAME150
      run the pandora battery creator on your psp
      first press sqaure to backup your battery eprom to memory stick
      now press x to convert your battery into a pandora battery

step6:remove your battery and memory stick and put them into the slim psp
      pandora menu should show up
      press square to back up ur nand first just incase there is a problem
      press x to install 3.71 m33

step7:now put back slim battery and start your slim
      press R trigger to enter recovery and go to advanced»format flash1 and reset
      all settings if u don't do this ur psp slim will most probably freeze up
      now restart ur psp u will get a bsod
      re enter ur information

step8:take ur fat psp and connect it to the ac cable without the battery inside
      ur psp will start up run the battery creator program again
      put in your battery
      press L+R to restore ur eprom to normal so your battery will become normal again

note:original batteries are preffered as fake batteries have given errors to some people
     restoring nand is very dangerous and shout only be used as a last resort
