Er... pandora battery is useful (if you brick it). But now there are ways to update straight from OFW (official firmware) - and as long as you have full battery (just make sure PSP is well charged) you should have no problems.
This new release works for all PSP models. Just follow the guide and you should be ok :)

How do you get it so the firmware is there permanently even when you take the battery out.
It is actually every time you turn the PSP completely off, and at this moment in time there is no permanent fix. I cant imagine it taking too long until there is though...
thanks Dan need a permanent one, but will wait till one is out, need it for the nephews because you know what little kids are like lol, patient, and dont understand all this, will have to explain it to them when they back from school. Ive done 2 PSP's now :)
There is permanent cfw,deepending on which firmware you are on,6.20 has permanent cfw
I know what you mean. It does get a little annoying but it can be dealt with, it does not take more than 5 seconds to get everything back up and running again after completely turning it off. :)
My little brother had the same problem, but after a few times, he understood it very quickly and suffers from an autism disorder. They will get used to it in no time. ;)
i know sinno i had a look, im on 6.39 at the moment. No permanent fix for that at the moment :(
i know Dan he was jumping for joy, now he will nag me for games, atleast it will keep them indoors and safe, when they are out and about they get in to a bad crowd and in to the trouble. Sorry to hear about that about your brother.
Thats your choice if you want permanent custom firmware,make sure you follow all the steps carefully,downgrading is risky
