Unbrick PSP with "Magic" Memory Stick files and special battery |
Listed in: PSP Tags: memory stick, nand, nicodemus82, Sony
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.

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.

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!

End of story.

"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."

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

"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.

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?
