Hacking PSP 3004 Possible? Basic Guide on PSP Device Hack
After PSP 3000, Sony came up with PSP 3004 and then the PSP Go device. However, during the process of manufacturing new devices and the latest firmwares, there were few exploits that was uncovered and released to the public. This led to the outcome of firmware attack.
The masterminds (the hackers) found out the loophole and have already hacked psp 3004 or the older psp such as PSP 3000 using an updated custom firmware (For example 5.03 firmware). When you have a hacked PSP, you can play and download free PSP games, instantly.
I will just give an over view on PSP hacking and if a friend of mine permits to post the method on hacking psp 3004 (for educational purpose) then I will do it so on this blog. However, in this post, the brief introduction for all the newbies who wants to hack their psp 3004 device will be definitely helpful. Perhaps, this guide will clear all your doubts on hacking psp devices. Do let me know if you’ve any questions in general.. always glad to help 
How to hack PSP 3004 device
Although hacking an psp 3004 device is considered pretty much illegal when we talk from the developers point of view, but that’s a whole lot of new story which we will not talk about. In anyway, one of the popular ways to hack your psp is to make use of custom firmware (CFW).
There is a difference between official firmware and custom firmware. OFW (Official Firmware) is released by Sony which adds extra functions and fixes minor issues. Whereas custom firmware is a modified update released by folks who want to make PSP free, who want to bring the best PSP games on your PSP, and the best themes, for free.
Once you are on an custom firmware you will be able to transfer iso, cso game files or add applications and plugins for your psp with no extra charges at all.
There are also few psp hacking experts that can hack your psp for 20$ (max) or you could do it on your own. You will require updated CFW like CFW enabler 3.70 or you can also hack it with an pandora battery.

Dear shashank
What is meaning of cfw ode
CFW – Custom FirmWare, which means installing a custom version of software on your PSP so that you can hack it
Hey , I recently bought a PSP 3004 which has 6.10.I have heard and downloaded ChickenHEN and REN files.I hv downloaded a game but my PSP doens’t read it.Moreover,Plese tell me where i can have Official UMD dumper. (if it would work on my PSP).Please HELP
Hey Ashwin,
Hack doesn’t work on 6.10 version! It works for 5.03 only. The fact is you can’t degrade the firmware now! Too bad.. and regarding UMD dumper, I will get you the link in couple of days as I am busy with my exams.
1> what is difference between PSP 3000 and PSP 3004 model.?
2> how long the battery of PSP 3000 and PSP 3004 model runs.?
3> what is the average size of a movie and a video song in psp?
1> what is difference between PSP 3000 and PSP 3004 model.?
As far as I know, the price difference doesn’t exist between the two models (few bucks here and there). And, the screen of psp 3004 is much much better than psp 3000. PSP 3004 is a upgraded version of psp 3000 with some tweaks so it can run smoother, nothing much to talk about.
2> how long the battery of PSP 3000 and PSP 3004 model runs.?
Not sure about PSP 3000.. but assuming the psp 3004 being the better version, it can handle 8-12 hours of mp3 playback, or about 4 continuous hours of gaming (my experience)
3> what is the average size of a movie and a video song in psp?
PSP supports mp4 movie. Depends on the type of quality you are looking for. In anyway, a music video clip of 5 min takes about 20mb to 60mb (HD). I have 800mb of video clips and trust me its a pleasure to watch them. Movies come in size of 500mb to 700mb normally.
One more thing: The loudness of the device can be disappointing… but its of great value! Clarity of the songs are assured. Pleasure to answer your questions..
Hi
i am new to this psp thing and want to buy a psp 3004.
1> can i hack my psp from some shop in market.
2> which CFW psp i have to buy for h****** it.
3> can i buy blank UMD’s and put some video’s on it.
4> what is the last limit of memory stick for psp’s? and if yes what is the price for it?
Can i hack my psp from some shop in market?
-> YES! Its possible and it costs around 20 bucks, maximum! You can also do it on your own if you follow the right procedure..
Which CFW psp i have to buy for h****** it
-> Anything below 5.03 is great. But I doubt you’ll find that version in the latest psp as Sony preloads them with 6+ version these days. But should be below 5.03 firmware version.
Can i buy blank UMD’s and put some video’s on it.
-> No, you can’t. I haven’t heard anyone doing this. Kind of unsure about this.. Are blank psp UMD’s available? I doubt that.
What is the last limit of memory stick for psp’s? and if yes what is the price for it
-> Limit is endless. There are 16GB sony sticks available as far as I know. I have a 8GB stick and it was 50 bucks for me (USD). 16GB would be more than enough
rockstar give me you ym and email
hey i have psp 3004
ver 5.70
i trade it for psp 2000 compatible with 8gb memory+8gb memoey
can i download games to my psp 3004?
H! my father buy me a psp 3004 with free 2 umd
ined to play many games with my memory but cannot
play..
the technician said to me in store the software has not been realeased it will release in july s***
friend help me plz my version is 5.70
ined to play with many many iso games
You can’t play the UMD’s? I remember getting a demo game (Something related to ‘Metal’) that is very popular but didn’t support my psp firmware which was 5.03.
I wanted to play that game. But I didn’t. Because once the firmware is upgraded, you can’t easily downgrade. I wouldn’t mind that because I’d still have more than thousand games to play on my psp.
However, in your case – You are stuck, friend. You have a version that is yet to be exploited. Who knows a hack for 5.70 might be available very soon.. I believe the games you have would require 6.00+ version. The choice is on you – Whether upgrade to 6+ and play those 2 UMD games you have, or wait for the hack!
If I was you, I would have let go of the 2 UMD games and fiddle with the other UMD’s.
You know I had to wait for 3 months (didn’t buy any UMD’s) to understand how all this actually works.
if my 5.70 i will downgrade it or not.
i try my psp insert a memory with games
nothing happen..
hey the technician said to me in mall
the sofware for that will release in july something
..
add my email to your ym
josemarcelo_692003@yahoo.com
how sad it is huhuhu
if i would trade it in psp 2000 +8gb memory compatible
how was that?
im here at the philippines.
?
thanks
Why psp 2000? You can also get PSP 3000 or PSP 3004 model with a lower firmware. PSP 2000 is outdated.. internal component wise. I would prefer at least to get a psp 3000 and 4GB card if thats what you get.
You can definitely trade it. Go to ebay or some local listing site and sell it, for that price – buy another psp. If you have friends who own psp then you’d know this can be darn fun :] Let me know your decision. I’m curious.
Hi ,
Just got a new psp 3004 . On starting , it asked me to upgrade firmware to 6 from 4.2. I din do any thing as I want to crack it. I need to upgrade to play the original game. wat are my chances of cracking it, plz advise
Well, if you want to hack your psp 3004 then DO not upgrade
You must install CFW and load it on your psp. A tutorial on that is on its way. Give me some time.. maybe a week or two
this is for my psp hack
YEAH BABY!
Hi,
I have a PSP-1001 with OFW 6.20 and I used the Patapon 2 demo with the exploit and did everything right so far, and now I’m at the black screen with the text at top saying: Hello World along with the snow that changes colors if I press the left & right buttons, but my question is, what do I do now, once I’m at the Hello World Screen??? Am I supposed to just let it sit here on my desk while it does something on it own or what? Please Help A.S.A.P. (P.S.) the chirp noise it really starting to get to me…lol…
Hi gamerboy,
I replied to you but somehow the comment just disappeared! I am on 5.03 firmware, so I am only assuming that it should do something on its own
I guess by now you must have figured that out.. myself wouldn’t upgrade to this exploit as I am on 5.03 CFW
Dude i dont know who you are or what do you do ,or what ability to make a ARM processor use a custom Firmware,but as far as i can see you are a complete con,and effecting other people who seek help and aid,thanks to google,i found your useless and totally morale killing writing.Where i pursued a answer and found a proper answer.
Thanks for lieing through your teeth for a c***py horde of teeths,whatever…your name is…
Approved your comment.. and I would be updating the post with the hack link. Like I said, my friend is the one who hacked psp 3004 for me.
And thanks for taking your time in blaming others. Doesn’t impress me anymore..
Well I just got a PSP 3004 PB it has OFW 6.0, can I hack it..???
Read many sites & I found nothing but no..!!!
Can you please help me out..!!???
PS : – I am a very new PsP user..!!!
Thanks in advance..!!!
Hi Pranav, as you’ve an OFW of 6.0, I am sorry to say that you can’t hack your PSP 3004, which means the only solution is to ‘buy’ stuffs officially.
Right now there are no methods to downgrade firmware as far as I know, even if there are some ways, they are quite complicated/risky!
i just bought a psp-3004 verion 5.70,is there anyway that i can dowgrade it to 5.03 or a version that i can hack?And if its possible can you plz send me the links where i can get the hacks and games plz…. lots of regards from greece… thanks for doing a great job friend
I heard that after h****** a PSP 3004 you can shut down your psp but the CFW will no longer be there?please DO e-mail me to sujirajesh1369928@gmail.com.i need immediate help!!!!!!!
Actually, You CAN’T shut down your PSP once you’ve hacked it. If you do, then you have to reactivate the h****** process once again..
Also a point to be noted is that you can’t play all the games, some mini games forces an shut down automatically. Although, reactivating takes only a couple of tries and no real risks are involved, until and unless you really mess it up and go beyond the given procedures.
hey sid,
