if so... i think the only option is either get one that isn't ta88v3 or change the board :/

idk if ChickHEN works for that board :/

did some more looking, seems that ChickHEN will work with that board (and may have been developed for that very reason).  I'll give it a try and hope for the best

It doesn't matter what mobo the psp has, as long as the firmware is 5.03 or lower it is compatible with ChickHEN.
So yeah, use ChickHEN and then Hellcat's Recovery Flasher or XGEN Updater, depending if you want M33 or GEN firmware.

if pandora doesn't boot, the motherboard won run 5.00m33/5.50gen firmware!!  you WILL brick by installing!!

your only option is 5.03 ofw, then use chickHen, then 5.03Gen firmware enabler..yes it will not stick if you shut down, you will have to redo the chickHen tif exploit, then gen firmware enabler...but if you don't crash, shutdown, or drain the battery dead, the firmware will stay.

you've got to be kidding...If I can't install cfw on it, then the person who bought it is going to be extremely pissed at me :(

Thanks, Sony, for screwing things up for me
