You're screwed,no exploit for 3.51...yet. Your 3 options are;
1)Keep your 3.51 and hope for an exploit soon.
2)Sell your PSP, then buy another, preowned, and hope it has 3.50- firmware on it.
3)Buy a modchip.

the 2 availible modchips (Undiluted Plantinum and Devolution) would not be sold in shops, you would have to order them online. Then you would need to be good with a soldering iron, or find someone who is so they can install it for you. This does void your warrenty, however, it does let you have 2 firmwares on your PSP at the same time (I don't have one so I'm not too sure of any more detail about them)

3.51 M33 is a custom firmware that combines 1.50 and 3.51. You need to be on firmware 1.50 or a custom firmware to install it though

The reason Noobz arn't working on a 3.51 downgrader is because they don't have an exploit yet.

so basically in regards to noobz do you reckon they'll work on a 3.51 downgrade in the near future? I'm not a very patient guy!!

thanks

Dude track down Noobz PSP battery unbricker, basically you're going to need a spare battery (should be able to buy one of these for not alot of money), and a spare memory stick. Once you get Noobz software you're going to need a mate with a hacked (open execution) PSP to run the software which will modify the firmware on the spare battery! It will also write firmware 1.5 installation to the spare memory card. The battery and the card are then used as a one two punch to get your PSP back to open execution heaven.
