Install Custom Firmware Enabler via ChickHEN R2

If you’re having trouble installing custom firmware 5.03 GEN-A don’t fret.  You can install Custom Firmware Enabler (cfwe in shorter terms) instead.  CFWE enables the functions of the M33 custom firmware using ChickHEN.  So yes, it’s from the same team that brought us Dark Alex’s 5.00 M33 custom firmware.

Custom Firmware Enabler will allow you to run homebrew on the PSP-3000 or PSP-2000 w/TA-088v3 and lets you play your games from ISO/CSO files.

Interested yet? Read ON.

This guide will help you install Custom Firmware Enabler on your PSP-3000 / PSP-2000 TA-088v3 to custom firmware. Note that the steps are quite numerous because there are 3 parts to installing Custom Firmware Enabler. Read them well and make sure you understand them before proceeding.

There is no danger of bricking your PSP unless you deviate from the instructions listed below unlike hackable PSPs. The danger of bricking your PSP-3000 / PSP-2000 TA-088v3 is relatively small. If however, you’re not sure about a step, take the time to post a question.

How to Install Custom Firmware Enabler for ChickHEN

Important:

If you have a PSP-2000 and have no idea what motherboard you have, be sure to read this CFW Compatibility Guide. If you have a PSP-2000 that’s not TA-088v3 or PSP-1000 and want to convert your PSP to custom firmware, read this guide on How to install custom firmware. After installing custom firmware, update to 5.00 m33. If you have confirmed that you have a PSP-3000 or PSP-2000 with TA-088v3 then read on.

CFWEnabler for chickHenIf you don’t want to install the Custom Firmware Enabler and want to install custom firmware 5.03 Gen-A instead, just read the 5.03 Gen-A installation guide.

Requirements:

chickHen R2Before you proceed to installing custom firmware CFWE, you need to install and successfully run the chickHen hack.  Read the guide and comeback here to finish the installation.

How to Install Custom Firmware Enabler

  • Connect your PSP to the computer in USB Mode when you have loaded ChickHEN R2.
  • Extract the zip file on your computer
  • Copy the PSP folder to your memory card
  • Disconnect the PSP from USB.
  • On your PSP, Go to GAME > Memory Stick > CFWEnabler
  • The CFWEnabler screen will boot up, Select install and your PSP will reboot.
  • Congratulations, you now have 5.00 M33-6 (yes, it loads 5.00 M33-6) on your PSP.

FAQS:

  • Can load ISO’s? – Yes, yes, you can.
  • Will it work with PSP’s with TA-088v3 and PSP3000? – Yes
  • Can it brick my console? – This version has several checks to verify that everything is installed, it is 99.99% safe
  • When you turn off the console I have to repeat the procedure? – Yes, you have to repeat it, but after the first time, you don’t need flash anything.
  • And you can not prevent either procedure? – Could be avoided if we could do an IPL compatible.
  • Is will future releases rectify the current problems? – It is possible, but is not guaranteed anything.
  • Will plugins work? – Yes, they work.
  • Does the M33 SDK? – Yes, it works.
  • Can I install LEDA? – Yes, it works perfectly.

Common Errors:

  • When you start the program it automatically goes to the menu – It has not been able to reallocate the flash, make sure your version is correct ChickEN.
  • I can’t run ISO’s –  Make sure that your configuration is correct.
  • It created a folder called SVCPlayer. Why?  – You have a plugin that creates the so-called “capture” nothing to do with CFWEnabler.

    Hi, I got a PSP-2004 with chickhen and 5.00m33 running the guy that installed that for me said i had the newer 2000 versions so had to use this.

    But how do i update 5.00m33(that is CFWenabler 3.10?) to 5.00m33-6(that is cfwenabler 3.5 right?)

    Im kinda new to all this and ive been reading alot tutorials everywhere but cant find my way trough.

    • atmaxplorer sylv3rblade June 22, 2009 Reply

      if you’re running 5.00m33 over chickHen then your PSP has cfwenabler installed. Just run the network update feature and it will install 5.00m33-6 for you.

        Hm thanks did that, but somehow it doesnt want to install, it downloaded the 500.pbp I get unpacking done… 500pbp ok u235.prx ok.
        Then i press x to start update and get this error:

        “A later version of the system software is already installed .
        There is no need to update .
        ( CAAFFFFFCF7)”

          hmm… I’ll look into manual update process.

        • Uberrabbit Rebuu June 23, 2009

          hmm ive been thinking, should i run it in chickhen loaded or cfwenabler loaded. I got this error when im running chick+cfw

  6. uyman22 uyman June 23, 2009 Reply

    can u install popsloader if you’re running 5.03 m33. Cuz i heard you have to reset your psp in order to do that, but you can’t shut off the system if you have a psp 2000 with a TA-088 V3.

    • atmaxplorer sylv3rblade June 23, 2009 Reply

      yes you can but installation on cfwenabler is quite different.

    Will it work on a psp 2000 with a differant motherboard to TA-088v3 or does it only work on this model? And because im new to the psp doe it work on 5.51 OFW?.

    I have the brand new PSP2000 TA-088v3. I followed the guides and upgraded the OFW from the 4.0.3 it came with to the 5.0.3.

    After many tries, I finally got it to load ChickHEN R2. When I tried to run the CFWE 3.30, I get the error message “Error writting file”. I retried at least 30 times and on occasions (2 times) I would get the “loading…” screen, but after about 5 seconds, the machine would shut down.

    Thinking that a newer version would solve my problem, I tried the CFWE 3.50 today. No success, I still get the “Error writting file” message. Can anyone shine a little light into my problem?

    TIA!

          You can’t have CFWEnabler installed because you have 5.50 OFW.

      If you have a PSP-2000 and have no idea what motherboard you have, be sure to read this CFW Compatibility Guide.

    so i had the ISO folder in the wrong place, thats why i got the corrupted data, but now when i try to run an iso, the psp logo comes out (like the game will start) then i get ” the game could not be started.(80020321). also i installed popsloader plugin and still cant play psx games.

    Okay I think I’m in need of some serious help to do this with, I dont seem to be able to get straight answers.

    I have a Silm Ice Silver PSP.

    Ver. 5.50 (I don’t know what it came with)

    Date Code: C8

    Serial: HB

    Thats all the information I can obtain from it as I dont have the box or any of the manuals for it now.

    Now I’ve tried using different methods of installing CFW onto the PSP all with little success, I have a Pandora Battery and a spare Memory stick which I converted into a MMS with 500.pbp and/or 503.pbp using the PSPgrader.

    I followed the instructions to get the system to boot into recovery mode but all I get is a green light and a black screen, I get this every time I try a different method, (i.e: using a card reader instead of the PSP to upload files).

    I tried using the programme to try and ID what mobo I have for the PSP but I can’t because I dont have CFW already installed so I’m at a stump there.

    And I cannot downgrade it because I can’t find one reliable solution to do so with out paying $30 or more just for some programmes.

    I just want to know what options are available to me now, or should I wait until a CFW that can install over a 5.50 update are available.

    I recently got back from Japan, where I purchased a PSP-3000. One of the new Carnival Colors ones. I was wondering if it might have a new motherboard or something that keeps me from running ChickHen on it? I’ve been trying to get it to boot into ChickHen for a good two weeks now with no success. Anyone out there with more knowledge than me? I’m kind of a newb when it comes to this stuff.

    On a Japanese PSP 3000 you have to make sure the Character Set is set to “US (437)”

    Go to Settings -> System Settings -> Character Set

    After I did this it only took two tries to successfully load ChickenHen.

      Why don’t you just read the guide >_> You’ve been asking the same question over and over and over and over.

  50. nelson_gabrinao Devilkey August 10, 2009 Reply

    Just do the second thing you said and it will work 1000% sure; except for Chickhen, you might get infuriated with that, so pray that you’re lucky you get it to work with a few tries.

    If you accidentally updated your OFW to 5.03; then take the 5.03 GEN-A path instead, I’m no longer 1000% sure that CFWE will work; I think it’s only till for 5.00 OFW.

    If however, your OFW is ANYTHING PAST 5.03 when you BOUGHT it UNTOUCHED. Then you’re dead; out of luck; damned; or whatever term you might want to use as no matter what you do, there ain’t no hack for that yet.

    And yes, it converts, but only temporarily until you coldboot that is; you have to repeat everything you did. As it only ADDS files, NOT REWRITE.

    And sylv3rblade is crystal clear. Why do you people can’t get what he/she’s trying to get across and still ask when the instructions can’t be made simpler than it is. Seriously I just made it more complicated IMO.

    then download a homebrew called:
    Hellcat Recovery Flasher 1.60…
    run it on ur psp then Install 5.00M33-6!!

    • atmaxplorer sylv3rblade August 15, 2009 Reply

      That’s not really very helpful you know. If you recall, people installing via Chickhen CAN’T install 5.00 M33 because they’ll end up bricking they’re PSP.

    Hi Guys,

    Thanks a lot for the prompt response.

    by the way, i follow what you instructed.. I put ISO in the ROOT. And put CSO Games Files inside the ISO Folder. Then when I go to GAME then select Memory Stick I saw the Game i put and heard audio of the game. But unfortunately, when i press x to load the game and start playing an error occurred. Here’s the error “THE GAME COULD NOT BE STARTED (80020321)”. Any Ideas?

    Thank you very much for your usual support. 🙂

    • atmaxplorer sylv3rblade August 17, 2009 Reply

      Hi sweet potato, usually the problem is the wrong ISO setting. Change it via CFWEnabler’s Settings and try out which setting works for you 😀

    hi i have psp slim with 5.03MHU now. i would like to know how to watch videos on youtube? i know you are best person to ask question and i know you have the answer for it

  59. spica.kiriyu Nerizu August 17, 2009 Reply

    Uhm,. can I ask? After I upgrade the firmware, I can play the game again, but the problem is when I want to save the game. All of my old save files will be gone when I save the new one. And when I close the game, and want to load it again, all of my save files including the newest are gone. I have to start from the beginning again everytime. Is that related to the firmware? Or should i change some of my PSP setting? Thank you.

    • atmaxplorer sylv3rblade August 17, 2009 Reply

      Hi Nerizu, on your XMB, can you verify that your save files are still there? Also what are the games that are giving you this problem?

      • spica.kiriyu Nerizu August 17, 2009 Reply

        Whenever the savefiles vanished, i always put my backup savefiles again, and open my XMB, and yes they were still there. When i first loaded it after i put the backup files, psp detected the save files and I could load. But the problem was when I wanted to save the new one, all of my old save files vanished. And when I closed the game, and wanted to load again, even the newest save file was gone. I play otome game, Kiniro No Corda 2 Forte and Neo Angelic Abyss (both are japanese subtitle). Before i accidenatlly restarted my PSP and had to upgrade the firmware again, i could save and load the files without poblems. But now I can’t. I don’t know what’s wrong with my psp.
        Thank you.

        • atmaxplorer sylv3rblade August 18, 2009

          Hmm that’s odd. I’ll look around as to why this is happening but since you’re having problems with CFWEnabler you may want to switch to 5.03 GEN-A (also linked in the post)

      You only have to apply it again if you turn the PSP off. If you have a PSP with TA-088v3 motherboard then it’s basically the same.

    If you’re experiencing trouble (and yes, a lot of people are having trouble running ChickHen) try these:

    * Change the character set code to the US (437) or Multilingual latin 1 (850), this code are used for system access of some file types. Its most happen on PSP other than the US version.
    * Adding 1 to 2 extra gif images, copy and paste with name e.g. ChickHENe.gif, ChickHENf.gif. Its most happen on High Speed memory stick pro duo. Fake MS or Not
    * Don’t use the chickHen folder other than for pictures used for chickHen.
    * Don’t change PSP Themes other than default setting, Change your theme to the default theme or use the Restore PSP to Default Settings.
    * Try to use a different memory stick.

    Hi,

    My brother got my psp hacked somewhere. He got the 5.00 M33 on it. I want to know if my PSP has TA-088v3 mother board or not so that I can use CFWEnabler or Hellcat’s Recovery Flasher going forward.

    Can somebody please help…

    • 5278445 kartman September 8, 2009 Reply

      One more thing, he was informed that if the hand held console is switched off (not stand by) then he needs to come back to get the hack again…

    • atmaxplorer sylv3rblade September 8, 2009 Reply

      You can use CFWEnabler… but you can’t use hellcat’s on a PSP with TA-088v3.

      And yes, what was said about switching off your PSP is right. You shouldn’t let it turn off.

      • 5278445 kartman September 9, 2009 Reply

        Hello sylv3rblade,

        Thanks for replying…

        So, essentially I can use CFWEnabler on any PSP 2000 slim regardless of whether it has TA-088v3 motherboard or not? That kind of contradicts the statements made above in this article.

        • atmaxplorer sylv3rblade September 9, 2009

          Not really. CFWEnabler and 5.03 GEN-A will both work on any PSP Slim model BUT if you have a hackable PSP, you’ll be better off installing a permanent cfw (like 5.00 M33).

          Does that help?

        • 5278445 kartman September 9, 2009

          So, can I say that CFWEnabler should work on all PSP-2000 (any motherboard) using ChickHen R2.

        • atmaxplorer sylv3rblade September 9, 2009

          Yep.

        • 5278445 kartman September 10, 2009

          sweeeeet!!!! it was giving some problems with manual copy of the files. I managed to run the installer and ran it again. It is working fine now.

          Does the installer format the memory stick too? I was afraid that it would and installed ChickHen R2 and CFWEnabler on another memory stick so that my isos on the 8 gig MS will not be formatted.

          Thanks for your help. Also I noticed that for PSP 2000 it gives the firmware version after CFWEnabler as 5.03 MHU as opposed to 5.00 M33 is this fine.

        • atmaxplorer sylv3rblade September 10, 2009

          Congratulations! 😀

          Nope, the installer just copies chickhen files to your memory stick.

          EDIT:
          The MHU and the M33 difference can be attributed to different CFWEnabler versions. I’m looking into it where things changed.

    Question please. When I bought this PSP, it already came with all these, cfwe included, etc. I tried using the cfwe from here instead, and I noticed that it activated 5.03 MHU instead of 5.00M33 (which was what my old cfwe from the game shop would activate). May I know what the basic difference between the two is? Thanks /o/

      Difference in CFWE versions.. I’m not sure at which point cfwe changed from M33 to MHU though.. I’ll read the change logs and update you on it.

      If you can get CWcheat running, it allows you to change the mapping of keys per game.

      However, at the moment, there’s no way to change the default keys for PSPs running on chickhen since you don’t have access to the the recovery menu.

    I solved the issue posted above. Just needed to use previous cfwe to uninstall cfw for both 5.03 gen-a and cfwe.

    Hi, i installed the GEN B first but it didn’t work so now i tried this, the CFWenabler but after loading chickhenr2 and installing CFWe 3.60, when i play the game i get “The game could not be sarted (80020321)” and also, when i view my System information, it says 5.03 GEN-B(Full) which is not what I’m installing

    Hi,

    I already have firmware version 5.03 MHU running in my PSP3000, I’m having problem running tekken 6, it says the game cannot be started error ******* (can’t remember the number though), do I need to change to firmware 5.03 GEN B in order for that game to work? Many thanks!

    Good day po sa lahat!
    ang psp ko e psp3006 with system software of 5.03 GEN-A (Full). ang tanong ko lang e bakit madalas nagha hung up sya then hindi na ma read yung games sa memory card. need ko pa lagi na mag boot using yung chickhen.
    ito po ba yung sinasabi nila na ‘ustable’ yung software nya? pwede ko bang maging stable to? pano po ba?
    sana matulungan nyo ako sa problema ko.
    maraming salamat po. asahan ko ang reply nyo.

      If you’re reading just ChickHen and not ChickHen R2 then there’s your problem. Homebrew apps will run ONLY on chickHen r2.

    since my psp 3006 was not been stable from 5.03 gen-a firmware and even upgrading it to 5.03 gen-c firmware, what i did was, i upgrade it on network update and it is now on ‘system software version 6.02’.
    now the problem is, it can’t read the games on my memory stick. does this software won’t read the iso or cso files?
    please advice what should i do next to get back on my gaming?
    thanks.

    • atmaxplorer sylv3rblade December 28, 2009 Reply

      You’ve upgraded to the official firmware 6.02. As of now there is no way for you to downgrade a PSP-3000 once you’ve installed a firmware version greater than 5.03. The only games that your PSP will play now will be from UMDs and those bought from the PSN Store.

      Just access the MHU menu (press select) and you’ll find the uninstall option. Select it and follow the instructions on your PSP.

      For example: it says to choose “install”, bu there is no “install” only “Flash and Start”. Not real sure what flash does. Some more info would be helpful

      I guess i don’t need the CFWE3.51 before installing CFWE3.7

      I have no CFWE installed yet.
