right after alot of digging and searching and headbanging i have got it done but another way round WITHOUT the pandora battery.

You need to be on 6.30 Sony official firmware first. Update to 6.39 first, then place the "installer" and "launcher" from 6.39ME-5 LCFW in the 'GAME" folder and run the "installer" first. Follow on screen instructions and after it re-boots, run the "launcher" and it will re-boot into 6.39 LME-5. Every-time you turn on your PSP, just run the "launcher" and you will be on LCFW (6.39LME-5)

System Software: 6.39 LME-5 <<<< showing on my PSP now well at least the memory card was worth the money

thank you wheelo. Oh it was frustrating, but this way was much simpler and does not have the risk of bricking your PSP if you follow the instructions step by step. Will be done within 5 minutes.

i also have a picture to show which PSP can be modified and which cant and how you can find out your version, motherboard, etc using PSPModules app.

my cfw is now 6.39-ME sommat along those lines

wheelo add this to your first post as well; just in case, i think it maybe helpful in some way for the noobs

Pandora Motherboard Compatibility List (thanks to assassinwarrior for this pic)



How to Identify your PSP Motherboard Model

This program is here for the people who don't know if their slim PSP can convert a battery or not. If you are not sure what motherboard your custom firmware PSP has you can use PSPIdent. PSPIdent can show you the motherboard model number, then you can look on the table above to find out if your PSP can convert a normal battery into a Pandora Battery (and back again)

There is also another software called PSPModuleChecker, once you download it, it needs to go in to the PSP/Game folder. The run it from your PSP which will then give you the MOTHERBOARD MODEL, match it with the image above to see if it is hackable or not etc etc
