How to Hack/Install Custom Firmware on Sony PSP-E1004 Street

By AS

On seeing that a 12 year old kid was still alive in me, one of my closest friends decided to gift me a Sony PSP this birthday. As soon as I opened the box and played games for few minutes, I was more curious about things I can do on it than just playing games all day (that was the tech blogger in me speaking). But when I searched the internet everything demanded a custom firmware running on the PSP and that was enough of a reason for me to install a custom firmware on my Sony PSP® E-1004 Street.

There are two ways you in which you can run a custom firmware on PSP. One is the temporary hack and other is the permanent one. In temporary hack, PSP runs the custom firmware as long as its switched on/standby but after restarting it, things go back to default. The permanent one on the other hand means that the fix will remain even after restarting the PSP.
In this post we will be seeing how we can use temporary hack to use custom firmware on PSP E-1004 Street. Advantages of using temporary hack is that the device warranty is not violated and even if something goes wrong, there is no fear of bricking the device. Moreover, reapplying the fix after restarting PSP takes only a few seconds. So let’s start

Things to Arrange.

  • A PSP memory stick to save files. Please use the memory stick that you use on a regular basis.
  • A memory card reader or a PSP USB cable to mount the memory stick on your computer.
  • Make sure your PSP is adequately charged.

Installing the Custom Firmware

Step 1: Turn on your PSP and navigate to Settings—>System Settings  to open PSP System Information. Here go to Check your System Software information and proceed only if the version is 6.60.
Step 2: Download the Light Custom Firmware (LCFW) and extract the files on your computer. Also, mount the PSP Memory Stick to your computer.
Step 3: Having done that, transfer the two folders FastRecovery and PROUPDATE to PSP/GAME folder on your memory stick.

Step 4: If you are using USB connection, un-mount the memory stick or if you are using the memory card reader, transfer the memory stick to PSP and restart the device.
Step 5: Now navigate to Game—> Memory Stick and run the pro Update file.

Step 6: Your PSP will restart and launch CFW installation. Simply press X button and follow the on-screen instructions your PSP to install the LCFW.

That’s all, after you restart your computer your PSP will be hacked and running the custom PRO B9 firmware which you can check in PSP system settings. As the fix is temporary, it will be erased as soon as you turn off your PSP.

To install the custom recovery after restarting your PSP, you just need to run the pro Fast Recovery  file from Games—>Memory Stick section.

Conclusion

You can now install custom plugins on PSP and use it as you like. We will be seeing many posts on customizing PSP in the coming days and the first one will be about installing custom themes on PSP.
Moreover, after installing the custom firmware you will be able to run modified ISO games on your PSP. You can use it to test a game but we recommend buying an authentic original PSP game if you are planning to play it.

    With four different PSP models to choose from and a huge assortment of bundles it can be hard to know just what to get. If you want to buy brand new, your options will be more limited, but places like eBay offer used and new-old stock on many of the models and bundles of the past.

By AS
Do you ever wonder how all these celebrities continue to have their private photos spread all over the internet? While celebrities' phones and computers are forever vulnerable to attacks, the common folk must also be wary. No matter how careful you think you were went you sent those "candid" photos to your ex, with a little effort and access to public information, your pictures can be snagged, too. Here's how. Cloud Storage Apple's iCloud service provides a hassle free way to store and transfer photos and other media across multiple devices.

How to Hack Samsung Phone Screen Lock

By AS
I have discovered  another  security flaw in Samsung Android phones. It is possible to completely disable the lock screen and get access to any app - even when the phone is "securely" locked with a pattern, PIN, password, or face detection. Unlike another recently released flaw, this doesn't rely quite so heavily on ultra-precise timing. Video . Of course, if you are unable to download a screen unlocker, this security vulnerability still allows you to  dial any phone number and run any app ! HOWTO From the lock screen, hit the emergency call button. Dial a non-existent emergency services number - e.g. 0. Press the green dial icon. Dismiss the error message. Press the phone's back button. The app's screen will be briefly displayed. This is just about long enough to interact with the app. Using this, you can run and interact with any app / widget / settings menu. You can also use this to launch the dialler. From there, you can dial any phone...
