PSP 1.50/CFW to 3.52m33-4

This guide is for the purpose of only helping in enabling users to use homebew application..Nothing Else :P
you'll need a custom firmware PSP..XX.xx ..(where XX.xx is your CFW i.e 3.30 OE) or a 1.50 firmware PSP
Check your existing PSP Firmware.
On your XMB (Cross Media Bar) in your psp, go to:
Settings >> System Settings >> System Information.
Press circle or x (depending on what PSP version you have) to view your existing firmware.
If you have a 1.5 or any custom OE/SE firmware, you are in luck.
You can proceed to the next step 2.
Otherwise, you must downgrade your PSP first. I suggest you use Pandora’s battery for the downgrade.
Obtain a USB Cable..
If you don’t know what a USB cable is, I assure you won’t be successful with the installation.
Download the 3.52 M33-4 Installer Package
The archive is packed with all the files needed into a RAR file.
That way you won’t have any trouble locating the files around the internet.
After downloading the file, unpack it using WinRAR.
I’ve separated each step into separate folders so everything will be organized.
Download the 3.52 M33-4 installer pack.
Check Your Battery on your PSP (you should know how to do this)
You must have more than 75% battery to avoid bricking.
It'll be a good idea to also plugin the power (cable) adaptor ( make sure it's switched on).
If you have correctly followed the few simple steps above, then we are ready to go on to the installation process.
Warning: I have succesedfully installed 3.52 M33 on 2 PSPs already but there is a slight chance of bricking your PSP,only if you won’t follow the instructions step by step.
Don’t worry if you brick your PSP, you can always use Pandora’s battery.
3.52 M33-4 Installation Procedures
(ms0:/ = the drive letter of your PSP e.g F:\)
If you are already running on an OE or SE custom firmware, SKIP this step and proceed to STEP 2.
Connect your PSP to your computer.
Step 1
Open the STEP 1 folder and copy kxploitpatcher and kxploitpatcher% folders to ms0:/PSP/GAME/.
Disconnect your PSP from your computer and then on the XMB go to GAME > Memory Stick > KXploit Permanent Patcher.
Run it.
Once done, delete the kxploitpatcher and kxploitpatcher% folder from your ms0:/PSP/GAME/ folder.(by connecting it to your PSP to the PC/MAC and deleting the folders)
Proceed to the next step.
Step 2
Connect your PSP to your PC/MAC via USB.
Open STEP 2 folder then copy the M33CREATOR folder to your “ms0:/PSP/GAME” (for 1.50 Firmwares) or “ms0:/PSP/GAME150? (for SE/OE Firmwares).
Disconnect your PSP from your computer then on the XMB menu go to:GAMES > Memory Stick and execute 3.52 M33 CREATOR.
For noobs(those who are new to this), the screen will normally go black so don’t panic.
Once the process is finished it will automatically go back to the XMB.
On your XMB, go again to GAMES > Memory Stick on your PSP, and execute 3.52 M33UPDATE.
You’ll have to press X at your own risk to agree to the installation.
Don’t you turn off your PSP until the process is complete or you’ll end up bricking it.
When finished, you’ll have to press X again and reboot your PSP manually.
Reboot by turning of your PSP and then turning it on again.
You’ll then have a 3.52 M33 PSP.You can now delete the M33CREATOR folder form your “ms0:/PSP/GAME” folder on your PSP(by connecting it to your PSP to the PC/MAC and deleting the folders).
Step 3
Open STEP 3 folder and then copy M33Update4 folder to mso:/PSP/GAME150.
On your XMB menu go to GAMES > Memory Stick then execute the update.
After the update you will be back on the XMB and you now have 3.52 M33-4 PSP.
Delete the M33Update4 folder from mso:/PSP/GAME150.
From the STEP 3 folder, copy the seplugins folder to the root of your memory stick"“ms0:\".
Turn off your PSP then turn it on again while pressing the R button.
This will take you to the recovery menu.
Go to Plugins and enable popsloader by pressing x.After enabling it, go to back and then exit.
Enjoy your PSP 3.52 M33-4!
