Whats happens if

I try to update to a hacked firmware when useing firmware 3.50 or above?

Nothing or you brick it. Just downgrade using Pandora.

but you will need a homebrew-enabled psp to make pandora

Ok, what I don't understand is why you guys say you need a homebrew enabled psp to make the battery? All you need to do is use dpm's method to make the battery and stick the files on the memory stick from your computer. What part do you need the other psp for? I never read the pandora tutorial though, but do you need a homebrew enabled psp to like make files on the memory stick or something?

And you just pandora for anything above 3.50, 3.50 and below can use the lumines, or gta(3.03 or below for gta) exploit.
But you won't be able to run the updater, it'll just be a corrupt file on your memory stick.

O so you don't need another psp at all? Hmm...maybe we should change that on the front page. Say it's like for advanced users, or ones that know how to solder and crap. Or if you have a bricked psp, you need a $5 usb memory card reader from walgreens or something.

Eh, just make a disclaimer saying that. It's just a battery, at least I know if I had a bricked psp without another psp then I would solder it. Better to waste $30 and buy a new one from bestbuy then to have a ~$150 doorstop laying around.

i have a psp slim i dont think i can downgrade to 1.50 and i dont have acess to another psp phat

but acording with a tutorial you can if you have soldering skills make a pandora battery for slim and i dont have the money to go out and buy another psp just for homebrew.

Well then how do you make the pandora for the slim? Do you use the slims battery or phat battery?

O, so if you had a slim all you would ahve to do is go buy a phat battery and solder it. No problemo.
