out of curiosity, why?

To change the XMB icons you have to flash it with x-flash?
Because I want to change my XMB icons and x-flash doesnt works with 3.03OE-A'

Give it a few days before X-Flash is updated by Art. He's pretty diligent when it comes to things like this, so I doubt we will be waiting long.

If you can't, you need to downgrade to 1.50 and then fo up to 3.03 OE-A from scratch again. Use Recovery Mode to do so.

Folllowed updated guide and upgraded from 1.50 to 3.03 OE-A. There are a couple of reference in the guide to 3.02, otherwise easy to follow and troublefree, great job

Just refollow the guide, except make OEUpdateFLasher a 1.0 EBOOT, and put it in PSP/GAME/RECOVERY along with all the files. Once you do that, run it in recovery.

I need help I currently have 3.02OE-B what do i have to use to update to 3.03OE-A.Do i use the 1.50 ebbot or?

[sait0u]

How do I uninstall 2.71 SE/3.03OE?
Open up the .rar file for your custom firmware.
Open the download .rar file, and open up the flasher for recovery folder
Now, extract the RECOVERY folder to X:\PSP\GAME\ (so that it is X:\PSP\GAME\RECOVERY)

i'm kind of confuse here. what rar file are you talking about? oeflasher?

[Adiuvo]

The original rar file called 303OE.

Top of guide ;)

i was also wondering....there's nothing wrong with executing 1.5 homebrew or emulators from 3.03 oe-a' if i make a folder "game150" instead of having to go onto the recover mode to switch kernal to 1.5?

all 1.50 homebrew goes in the GAME150 directory in ms0:/PSP/

[sait0u]

thanks..just making sure! =)

[midnitdragoon]

is there a easy installer for 3.03? i really feel a bit nervous of flashing my psp.


edit-it gives me the 3.03 update not 3.02..do i rename it 303.pbp?

[Adiuvo]

Are you sure you followed this link?

BTW: Thanks to Hardrive for putting the new image on there :)

[Hardrive]

No prob man, thanks to vbmaster for making it

Oh, I'm updating to OE-B right now, should be done in 15 mins or so.

[nights]

OE-B takes about 5 seconds to upgrade .

[Hardrive]

Yep. The guide's done now too.

[Dos]

Once it finish (takes about 3 or so minutes), It will return to the XMB. Once again connect your PSP to your PC via USB. There will now be a new file in PSP/GAME/OEUPDATEMAKER, named "DATA.DXAR".

Copy the folders 303oeflasher and 303oeflasher% from the rar file to the GAME folder of your memory stick. Navigate to PSP/GAME/OEUPDATEMAKER, and move the DATA.DXAR from there to the 302oeflasher folder.

Installing 3.02OE

// TAKE OUT ANY UMD THAT IS IN THE DRIVE!!!

Make sure your battery is at least 75% (100% recommended) and plug the AC adapter.
Start the application, named "3.03OE flasher".

Just a bit confused here. Is the "3.03OE flasher's" folder named "302oeflasher" because they chose not to change it from the 3.02 build. Or is this a type-o?

Probably a typo. I'll go fix it.

Thanks. I didn't think of putting that in there

[Louu]

Everytime I connect the USB cable to my PC nothing appears. Is there anything I need to fix. I don't think is the Memory Card because it reads just by conecting it to the PC without the PSP.

[X-BlueRaven]

I think you need to go into "My Computer" and select your PSP Memory Drive from there.

Probably because windows cant detect your psp so you have to do it manually

Uhm, navigate to the "USB" icon on your PSP and click on it while the cable is plugged to the PC? If you are running Windows XP, it should autoload asking you how to open it or etc... If not, then just go to my computer and look for the "Removable Drive" or something like that.

[Squibbler]

Very nicely updated guide for 3.03OE-B - thank you :)
(1 small typo on main page where it says to create a '320' folder - should be 302)

[nights]

Yeah Louu you sometimes have to select the PSP from My Computer.

[Elrian]

I am cuttently on 3.03 OE-A' do i have to format my memory stick before upgrading to 3.03 OE-B or can i just put the flasher without formatting so i dont need to remove all my homebrews?

[Hajpoj]

Can this firmware be installed on a hardware downgraded psp? I just ordered a pink psp of ebay from china that is running 1.5. Can I install to it?

[Elrian]

I would not recommend the update on that kind of PSP but id like to know as well just out of curiosity! :P

No need. I flashed mine without formatting with all my homebrew still in the memstick. Just disable any plugins you may have running just to make sure.

[Hajpoj]

Well, don't aren't the custom firmwares for all intents and purposes just 1.5 with some glitter?

[k3roro]

I just heard that you're not suppose to be running any of the 3.03 on TA082...
says the forum that Dark_Alex previously said he does not recommend installing 3.02 on TA082s.

Is it true?, Also once it is installed, it will not brick right?

If someone can point me to where Dark_Alex does not recommend installin 3.02/3.03 on TA082 because it may brick, that'd b helpful.

Yes i know installing firmware on any may brick.
