I’m trying to do this on a PSP-1001, and I’ve changed everything, even the encoding, and every time I try, it freezes and the memory card access light stays on for about 10 seconds, then it shuts down, but doesn’t install ChickHEN, i.e. It doesn’t say it in the “System Information” thing. I updated to 5.03 after trying on 5.00, and it still didn’t work. Does anyone have any ideas?

Why not create a folder and copy the SINGLE tiff file to make MULTIPLE copies and rename them appropriately?

I followed everything to the tee and have tried everything but cant get chicken to work. The video at the bottom shows a chickhen folder, but the chickhen files you give only have the one TIFF image and the h.bin. I also see about 19 images in that folder which once again i have only the one. I using the PSP PHAT and am totally confused here, need help!!!

You still need to install either a 5.03 GEN CFW or CFWEnabler both are linked at the bottom of the post.

There is no chance for you to brick your PSP when installing ChickHen?

If you’re sure that the PSP isn’t a TA-088v3 mobo, you can simply hit the uninstall option of 5.03 MHU or you can simply convert the PSP to 5.00 M33 or even 5.50 GEN-D3 by following the guide below:

Hey man, thanks for replying.

I’m trying to hack a PSP-2001 for my brother’s friend. Currently he has 5.03 MHU, but he wants 5.03 GEN-C via ChickHEN R2.

Here’s what I plan to do:
1) Backup and format MS.

2) Softboot to reset everything and revert to OFW 5.03.

3) Install ChickHEN R2.

4) Install 5.03 GEN-C.

Can you please confirm if my process is correct sylv3rblade? I won’t brick anything right? Mahirap na, hindi kasi sakin eh. ^_^;

Yes but it’s recommended that you install a permanent CFW over it.

Will ChickHEN R2 work on a non-TA-088v3 PSP-2000?

last 3 times i`ve installed r2 in less than 10 attempts (with no default settings…)
but before that i tryed 11 hours…..
guess the most important thing may be….to select the `character set` to 850-multilingual latin 1 ????(`cause this is the last thing that default settings change….)

Yep. But seeing as your PSP is likely to be only partially hackable, that’s better off than just OFW.

Ive retried the above listed steps across three memory sticks now. The one which originally worked was a 2gb sandisk unoffical stick. The two which have reliably been utterly useless were offical sony 4gb memory stick mark 2s

Any insights on what I can do to get a successful install again?
