Unbrick PSP with "Magic" Memory Stick files and special battery |
Ó
Nicodemus82 dropped by our forums and shared news of the "PSP Magic Memory Stick Files - SONY Unbricker". Apparently, a person sent a bricked PSP to Sony. The PSP was returned with a memory stick inside with the following files:
- Binary encrypted full NAND image.
- Required modules for system control for use by IPL of debug hardware.
- Logging module for debug log review (log is saved after full write).
- A file used for testing that the system plays well (usually a demo of a PSP game).
- 1.1v-3.5v debug unit for connecting through the serial port in 3rd. battery pin.
- Transmission of data is UNENCRYPTED but uses a XOR algorithm for transmission (easily parsed and analyzed).
- Contains any number of IPLs (different ones for each motherboard revision (TA-XXX))
- IPL is loaded into the Kernel Memory. ME area seems most likely (IPL of the PSP is the same but missing 2 essential modules that the debug unit has).
- Contains ipl_mg_modules.bin and ipl_mg_nanddriver.bin
- IPL is encrypted in 3 stages. Easily decrypted to show stages, but not for decrypt each individual stage.
- Contains a 40x120 column TFT screen for display.
- Has a SERIAL port for PC connectivity.
- Seems to have a 32MB ROM IMAGE on Flash.
- 8MB of RAM.
- Nickel-Cadmium Battery Cell (possibly 76 hour battery life).
- AC/DC adapter port 15V.
- Contains 4 buttons (on/off, reset, connect/disconnect, menu).
- Arrow keys UP and DOWN for menu.

First!!!!!!!
2nd!!! omg
this is not NEW at all, this happened during 2006 if i remember correctly, also some one managed to find the special Sony Battery in a games shop in Singapore however they wanted more than £500 for it I think
Looking through the files and decrypting them and stuff, couldnt some1 like dark alex figure out how to get it all to work?
3rd!!!
haha
Shouldn't this just be as easy as soldering/sticking some copper wire in to connect the 2 points?
That's how I was able to unbrick my router, so I know it can be fairly simple if we just get to know the process a bit more.
time to buy my friend's bricked psps!!!
This is facking old, it has just been on dcemu again now also on QJ. But it already happend
It is impossible to unbrick you psp without the battery. So if you don't have the battery the files are just *****.
Please Qj, do it frow you FP. To own that little bit respect!
This is fake, the dump isn't even complete, just as all the other ones never were. Also, the battery specs are not really possible, with a screen and a 76 hour battery life just shouting BS.
I wrote this, not nicodemus82.

i live in singapore and i went to ebay singapore and there some people claiming they can unbrick any psp version..
psp in singapore cost 200-300
how come the special batt cost 500 then rofl
i could get a wii or xbox 360 =P
Tsk, this is not exactly new, nor is it fully informing, the tech aspects due tell us something, but wtf would you do with out the ***** battery?
*******, ******* sony and there ****** money ***** problems, cant they just sell us the dam thing for like 50-100 us $ wtf with all the secrets, the psp is pwned by the hombrew scene, most games are already pirated, and further more, they act like we wont eventually find another way passed the "jigkick" battery *lol*, its hilarious when i think about it.
*do.
not due.
This crap is old and it ain't gonna work. According to Dark_AleX's coding buddy Malthieuth (the one that helped create the 2.71 TA 82 Downgrader) this is useless without the magic battery. He states on QJ forums

The battery (if it's really a battery as it could be a special hardware that uses some other ports) has never been leaked and I doubt anyone could walk out from SCE repair centers with one of those.
End of story.
This thread should be locked."
'£' as in 'pounds'? I'm sorry, I live in Singapore and we use SGD$ as our standard currency.
Yeah I remember but it wasn't a gameshop, it was a kiosk at Singapore (the capital city of the country Singapore, weird huh?) in a mall my family went (we were on vacation and did a trip there) and I saw something like a Sony Battery but it was at 500 SGDs (not euros or pound whatever you meant). I asked him what it did and he said he didn't know cause he was uncertain but apparently someone got it after giving their psp to sony for repairs and sol it to them for 95 SGDs.
Mistake number one for Sony.
Now I remember he said the battery didn't actually work for playing the psp saying it wouldn't be chargeable and also wouldn't power the psp but was more of a hardware for something. I guess it must be for reco0vering files to the psp after bricked.
hey you noob. just do your blow job and get my 50cm ***** in your mouth and get my white warm ***** in your mouth (an half l)

sony's a kamakaze
think about it...it says this battery is for basic functions and will not use the psp's screen but the tiy screen on the back if needed Right?? so thats totally possible if you think about it. playing games ...no...performing low lvl functions...def...
or you can just *phish* out the link. Phishing can do anything!
I knew about this over a year ago for sure. I'm not sure the word "magic" is really a good way to describe a working process to people here to learn either. We know little about that battery. AFAIK their isn't even definative proof that a battery is how the do it and not a special connector shaped like one. All we can rule out is that its not done through the serial port or USB so logically it must be that extra pin.
they shud release pictures of this so called magic battery
Think about it, someone could brick their psp use these 'magic' files and bring it back as FW 1.50.
Im kinda a noob at this, so if im wrong here my bad, but one can always hope when they've got a 3.30 psp......
number 1??
Blast!
What the deuce?
Victory is mine!
Ok, so i did some research and ahahahahaha, this thing is not so fake, or the info seemed real, i think its some intresting stuff though old or not, hey it will help everyone out, im sure some highly skilled "coder"/owner will just find a way to do with out the F*** 500$ battery, if its that much then it F*** better be a week long battery, otherwise sony can kiss my A***.
Well seems useless at the moment, way to get me excited for nothing. Anyways back to R6V, :) ohh yeah get it if you dont have it.
it's dew.
i still don't understand how a different battery would allow you to do this. there's gotta be some other way to be able to write to flash. and i was also thinking, how are demo's loaded from fw's above 3.03? if we could somehow figure out sony's code isn't it possible to run unsigned code straight from the xmb in those and older firmwares. i don't even know if there are demos for 3.03+ or if figuring out sony's encryption keys is even possible at all but it was food for thought for me.
why, its cr4p, Controls are sluggy, framerate poor, retarded looking people.
HORRIBLE AUSSIE ACCENT.

yessss now i wont sell my psp for parts over ebay...PLZ HAVE THIS WORK!!! IM BEGGING :)
me too
This thing is not a battery at all. Why the hell are people reporting it as a battery? Yes it fits into the battery compartment, yes it delivers power to the Psp..............oh I guess it is a battery after all, my bad............
you can sell it. you need this MSTK and this battery (JigKick). so - sorry - no can do.
Not funny
hehe you got raped by cereal
If u can access the flash like that then in theory u could downgrade rite?
(im already on OE firmware so dont just say im a n00b for asking im just interested in this)
i know that so far the lowest u can flash from the "sony" is 2.71 so would u be able to make it flash 1.5 or would it have to be that special binary file?
not funny noob
ha i bet the company is like "crap!... we f'ed up big time..."
well if this battery thing is even real...why the F*** would you wan to buy it for $500 when a 1.50 psp on ebay is less...its f'in retarded...sure mabye some really smart person could find somthing to do w/ the files but maybe not...but honestly 500$ compared to 200$
that made me laugh so you get a gold star for the day
charge people to repair their psps, dur, itd pay itself off and then profit quite a bit... if you bought a psp for 250 at launch and you f'd up, would you buy a new one or pay 50-100 to get it fixed instead.. you tell me.
if its real sounds like it will work since there will be access to flash but it may also be blocked by some other crap
The Battery is the expilot well the files are the downgrader.
PS: 3.93 can downgrade with GTA

"Let me clear this up for everyone.
Yes, a memory stick with a special firmware dump is used to repair the PSP
However, it doesn't end there. A special battery, which is loaded with a non-retail IPL, is connected to the PSP. The PSP boots from the battery's IPL, then it launches the encrypted firmware on the memory stick. The firmware has no VSH/XMB, all it does is open an encrypted ARC file (similar to a PSAR), and it extracts this to the flash0. The special firmware dump on the memory stick also contains a few IdStorage keys, and what appears to be an IPL matching with the ARC, just in case either of these were messed up.
Summary: Yes it's possible, but not without Sony's special "jigkick" battery."

OMFG!
That was leaked one year ago!
can any1 explain briefly to me how to make own homebrew apps? thanks
Just get a custom firmware because it is not at all likly to brick fully with them! It's so easy and it just temporarily bricks! Just get recovery mode! I've already bricked my PSP about 5 times this morning. It's fine with recovery mode as long as you back up your flash0 and flash1!
haha somebody got fired that day.
hahahahahaha!!! ! ***** you sony we have your precious files!! that brings the score up to: sony- 3, psp hackers- 99999999999 million ahahahaha
YOUVE DONE IT NOW SONY! WOO! WE DONT NEED YOU ANYMORE.... could we have that battery please?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v+JhxC9AJZgeg+mode+related+search+ xD
go the cleaners
like getting credit for this will make your pathetic life a little bit more worthwhile
You could also potentially use it to charge money to
1)downgrade PSPs for people that bought new PSPs that are above 3.03
2)buy your own new PSPs and downgrade, then sell them as 1.5 PSPs
Rio S., the term 'brick' has been around a lot longer than the PSP. It's been used for other electronics like routers, DVD players, cell phones when they stop working because a hack went wrong. There's a world bigger than the PSP, imbecile.
http://pspmov.info
but it dosen't mean it will be done. I believe that it is possible to make a hombrew version of the "magic" battery. There is no such thing as magic, depending on where you are from and personal beliefs, SONY came up with the stupid thing and to my knowledge hackers have managed to crack everything that sony has come out with. I think that if someone hacked a the contacts off of a normal psp battery and added the "third party" one, and then hooked it up to a computer through a modified USB you could replicate the "magic" battery. The only thing that you would still need would be software which is where all the firmware hackers would come in.
Without the battery that is...But what isn't is the battery LIFE, it's not powering the PSP. These functions don't consume that much battery.
PS: Why doesn't everybody send their bricked PSPs to sony?
Get cash for clicking ads.

Is funny. because sony since they're start have been being problems with ppl. making i hard for them to enjoy they're products fully.
Like saying THAT will "make your pathetic life a little bit more worthwhile". That was a waste of your own time to hate on someone.......
Can i have a gold star? maybe a torn or scratched one?

My PSP was bricked a couple of ago, I sent it to Sony. They called us saying there's nothing they could do with it.
"What about an unbricker? Can't you guys unbrick PSPs?"
"Sorry, be we can't do that. We would if we could, and it'd cost extra, but we can't."
Plus, I don't think Sony would give a product such an inappropriate name.
Let me tell you guys, it's no battery at all..
Im sure this "battery" doesnt require much knowledge to make. Maybe someone with some hardware making skillz could make their own version of this battery then post instructions on how ppl can make it themselves...
that stupid battery is simple battery with extra pin that provides specific ammount of power to it which trigers booting from memory stick. Just like pressing F1 on PC while booting. Which allows us to boot from CD. simple.
i would deffinatly pay much more for this "battery" thats actually a battery/devise that can acess the flash on a psp because i have 13 bricked psps that i have gotton from alot of diff people who tried to downgrade...i got them for about 20$ usd each and 4 of them i got free because i knew someday someone would figure out how to unbrick psps...there may not be a way as of now but as soon as there is im gonna be in heaven..all my kids will have one as well as when my friends come over we can load up the same game and play each other on them....but untill then i just have a box with 13 bricked psps...lol im gonna be selling them for about 100$ usd each once the fun runs out from having psp parties at my house
we all know that psp 3.10 don't allow access to flash0, but how about Flash and Java programming.
I recently came across so called portals where I was able to access one of the flash0 files if i just knew correct address to it, but unfortunatelly browser doesn't allow viewing the files. Can anyone make some sort of file viewer?
spelling corrections should not contain spelling errors
You're a n00b. lol
Sorry...
On with my life...

hiya ive updated my psp to 3.50 and ime wondering if any1 would be intersted in swaping a psp 1.30. email me if you are interested chris9191@hotmail.co.uk thx
I had the battery but i sold it for £800.00 and it was well worth it because i bought a laptop.
I hear if we short a pin under the battery on the top right (or left) then the psp will go into service mode...
But...if it doesnt and we need the so called battery..i mean what is the battery..a backup of 1.5 psp firmware that automaticly rights when u insert it and turn bricked psp on? why cant someone good like Dark alex or Nobbz make a EBOOT.PBP out of this.....but is sony found out if someone did make a EBOOT.PBP out of it...i think all current psp,s would be recalled...and newer ones dished back out again......
You telling me the battery has a screen, buttons, ram, serial port... i dont think so.
maiby the battery is just attachment 4 pc
Hey guys Did you hear about finest psp battery it keeps 90 hours
Sorry i said it wrong..plug your AC cord into the psp and switch on....take the battery you are using out.....Now look into the top right (Or left) There should be a small hole.....Try shorting it.....see what happens....Someone said it worked for them....i aint takin the risk.,....you people can if you want....!

Mabey if you guys would use your brains you would think would sony make a utility that didnt work just for the hell of it.... no so of corse it works and second of all how the hell do you think they fix psps with no OS they boot it with the battery that simulates the psp and load the data from the Ms slot its that simple
