--By: SiK GambleR



In this tutorial we will be installing the 4.01 m33 firmware and addons. It is fairly simple if you have been on the modding scene, if not.. I would recommend doing a little more research and not using this tutorial as your first and only source of info.

Things Needed:
-A PSP, it can be Fat or Slim. Part 3 of this tutorial (The 1.50 kernel Addon will NOT work on a slim PSP!)
-The PSP that you have must be modded to follow thsi tutorial. For the Fat PSP please have 3.52 m33-4 at a minimum and for the Slim PSP please have 3.60 m33 at a minimum.
-The proper USB cable to link your PSP to your PC.
-Make sure your battery is fully charged (preferably just have it plugged in as you do this) so that there is no issues with power consumption.
-This pack that I have compiled to make your lives easier: RapidShare: Easy Filehosting

Pre-Tutorial Notes:
-This tutorial is broken up into THREE (3) Parts.
-If your PSP gets bricked it is not my fault, I explained everything in the most detailed and easy to follow way possible.
-If you ask me for help I will litteraly be reading this tutorial to help you. So if I fix it, you are dumb.
-The third part of this tutorial is for Fat PSPs ONLY!

Now Let's Get Started!!
Part 1: Installing CFW 4.01 m33

Step 1 - Connect your PSP to your computer using the USB cable.

Step 2 - In the download I provided double-click the Part 1 Icon.

Step 3 - There is a Folder called UPDATE in there. Copy it to ms0:/PSP/GAME/.

Step 4 - Once the UPDATE folder is in ms0:/PSP/GAME/ unplug your PSP from the computer.

Step 5 - Exit USB Mode and go to your XMB.

Step 6 - In the XMB Navigate to GAME and then to Memory Stick

Step 7 - Click and Run the 4.01 m33 Update.
Step 7a - After you run the 4.01 m33 Update, the screen turns black. Follow the on screen instructions, these instructions will take you to the Official Sony Update screen. DO NOT PANIC! That is normal, just continue with following the on screen instructions.
Step 7b - While the Sony Updater runs do not turn off the PSP or disturb the update. Once the update is done you will be told to hit X to restart your PSP .. Do so.

Congratulations you now has CFW 4.01 m33 installed on your PSP!

Part 2: Installing the CFW 4.01 m33-2 Update
Part 2 Notes: You CANNOT do this without sucessfully completing Part 1 of my tutorial.

Step 1 - Using your USB cable connect your PSP to your computer.

Step 2 - On your computer navigate to ms0:/PSP/GAME/ and delete that UPDATE folder you put in there during Part 1.

Step 3 - In my provided download double-click the Part 2 Icon.

Step 4 - Yet again, there is an UPDATE Folder, copy this UPDATE folder to ms0:/PSP/GAME/.

Step 5 - Once the update folder is in ms0:/PSP/GAME/ unplug your PSP from your comptuer.

Step 6 - Exit USB mode and get to your XMB.

Step 7 - From the XMB navigate to GAME then to Memory Stick.

Step 8 - Click and Run the 4.01 M33-2 update. The on screen instructions are all you need to follow.
Step 8a - Once the installation is complete, you will be returned to the XMB.

Congratulations you are now running CFW 4.01 M33-2 on your PSP.

Part 3: Installing the 1.50 Kernel Addon (FAT PSPs ONLY!)
Part 3 Notes:
-This part of the tutorial is for FAT PSPs ONLY!
-Parts 1 and 2 of my tutorial must be completed for this.
-This part of the tutorial is 100% optional. You may need it to run some emulators and other apps.


Step 1 - Connect your PSP to your computer via USB Cable

Step 2 - Double-Click the Part 3 Icon in my supplied download.

Step 3 - Copy the 150.PBP file from the Part 3 folder on your computer and paste it in the root directory of your PSP memory stick.

Step 4 - Once that is in the root directory of your PSP memory stick, copy the GAME4XX folder from the Part 3 Folder on your computer to ms0:/PSP/.

Step 5 - Unplug your PSP from your computer and Exit USB mode.

Step 6 - Get to your XMB and navigate to GAME then click on Memory Stick.

Step 7 - Click and run the 1.50 Kernel Addon program that should be there. Just follow the on screen instructions for full installation.
Step 7a - After the installation is successful, you will be taken back to the XMB.
Step 7b - If you ever install homebrews, emulators, etc that use the 1.50 Kernel Addon


CONGRATULATIONS!! Your PSP now has the Newest Custom Firmware (CFW) and if you are a Fat PSP Owner you have the 1.50 Kernel Addon being ran too!! Have fun with your new CFW 4.01 m33-2 + 1.50 Kernel addon PSP!
