How can you enable homebrew on a PSP Phat?

Whoa! Modding the battery was an intense surgery!

It took me a very tense 45+ minutes to lift the pin 5. Fortunately, I succeeded in lifting pin 5! I shouted "VICTORY!" When I finally lifted the sucker.

My PSP did not come with a USB Cable (screw refurbished units) so I had to use the card reader.

Now to make the magic stick...

EDIT: When I popped the pandora in the PSP, the green lamp came on. I mashed all the buttons, but nothing. When I soldered a wire from the lifted Pin 5 to B-, the PSP yurned on normally. Relief! Sweet Relief!

When I put the JigKick in the PSP, the green light just turns on. Nothing else. Is that normal?

(Note that it doesn't have the magic stick yet.)

You probably should have known you can't use the pandora as a regualr battery anymore.

Yes, I know that.

But is that supposed to happen?

EDIT: On the memory stick, there are three folders labelled kd, PSP and registry and 3.71.pbp are those correct?

I don't think so.

Uh-Oh. What should I expect?

EDIT: Tried the stick anyway, mashed buttons, nope.

Um... I don't have my psp right now but tommorow I'll post what my magic memory card says.

Followed tons of instructions, format every time, now it's 12:02 AM and there's no dice.

Am I supposed to hold a button while I turn it on or something?

I can't get the pandora to work. Should I call it quits?

Also, I resoldered the pin 5 to B- and the battery seems to not charge! Any help there?

I can't help you on the battery but try using this intaller http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/about136070.html It worked for me.

Heh, Thanks!

About the battery, It wouldn't charge because I forgot to plug the charger in!

I think I can do this!
