Make sure you have copied the EBOOT.PBP to PSP/GAME/UPDATE/

Also try switching off your psp completely and run the update from OFW 5.03

You will need it to install the CFW every time after shut down (unless you have applied the permanent patch).

isn't this relavent to anyone with a <6.20 ofw?

in the perma-patch part you might want to put a warning about backingup the vshorig.prx as it's needed to uninstall the patch, there have been threads about psp3000 users not backing it up and thus not being able to recover from a semi-brick.

i got it right after adding the SDK folder
