4. Run the "
Pandora's Battery Creator" program on the PSP. This prepares the battery. You will not be able to use it normally from now on unless you've taken the optional step above to revert after the fact (should be using a spare so you can keep it around anyways).

Pandora Battery FAQ
Can this Pandora
battery downgrade or unbrick any PSP?
Yes, you can
unbrick any currently available PSP. This can also be used as a downgrader on a
non-bricked PSP.
Can I
restore my battery back to its normal state after this process?
Yes, you can if
you've backed up the contents of your battery's flash into a file on you memory
stick; although, this defeats the purpose of having a battery ready for
unbricking. That is why you are suggested a spare battery. Freeplay has found
some very cheap batteries.
Get them while they're still cheap.
To revert a battery:
- Take
out normal battery
- Power
on PSP with AC adapter only
- Once
XMB comes up, re-insert Pandora
battery
- Run
"Pandora Battery
Maker" and press L+R to restore the ms0:/eeprom.bin to your
battery
Can the
Memory Stick be reformatted and reused?
Yes, however
you will need to redo all of the steps in the "Preparations" section
related to the memory stick for reuse as unbricker.
Does
unbricking work on TA-082 motherboards?
It is known to
work on all motherboard revisions. The reflasher will ask you to apply the
patch. Press 'X' to do so.
The readme
states that "The firmware in the Memory Stick is not a full 1.50 but a
minimal subset."; what's that all about?
It simply means
that the PSP will not act as a "complete" 1.5 PSP until you place
your normal battery back in and restart.
Minimal
subset? Can I install custom firmware?
As stated
above, replace your normal battery and restart the PSP so that you've loaded
the full 1.5 firmware from flash0 into memory; then you can do as you see fit.
The readme
states that "The IDStorage cannot be totally restored, as there is no
known way to regenerate it properly."
They're talking
about if you bricked due to a corrupted idstorage. If nothing bad has ever
happened to your idstorage, you can safely ignore this note.
Will this Pandora
battery work on PSP slim?
There is
speculation about this, At the moment, no one knows but we will specify here
when possible.
