Nope. Not unless your PSP is hackable. If it’s hackable, you can use a Pandora Battery to downgrade and install CFW, if not then tough luck

Sounds like you don’t have CFW installed yet. What’s your current firmware version?

The file i download is:
xgen-v4-gen-release-version_1256138756

Inside there is a Docs folder, a PSP folder (which got GAME -> UPDATE -> EBOOT.PBP), and a 550.PBP file in there.

I follow the instructions. Dragged the PSP and 550.PBP file to the root directory of my memory stick (covered up a apparently invisible PSP that’s in the mms). Then i ran the 5.50 program through game in the psp. Selected install custom firmware. successfully updated. System information display “5.50 GEN-D (FULL)”. Did i do anything wrong along the process or is there anything else i should pay attention to? Thanks for teh reply.

Please check your current firmware version to make sure that you didn’t upgrade to the official firmware by mistake.

HI, I have recently upgraded my 5.00 M33-4 to 5.50 gen-d (full). Fortunately the machine didn’t hang on me, and the upgrade was successful. But now my psp2000 can’t play ISO games anymore. When i run the game it will go into the start menu and then pop out again saying “game cannot be start”. Can you tell me what’s wrong and how can i fix it? thank you very much.

It's possible to upgrade to any 5.50 GEN cfw directly but it's not recommended due to the number of people experiencing "hangs" during installation (and seriously, you don't want your PSP to hang during any CFW installation). For clarity GEN-B, GEN-C, GEN-D is that they are patches for the original 5.50 GEN-A cfw. 5.50 GEN-D2 and 5.50 GEN-D3 are patches of GEN-D. To put it simply, they're updates to the 5.50 GEN CFW. If you want to upgrade your current PSP version please install 5.00 M33 first then install 5.50 GEN-D3.
