There are two downloads. The first one includes the Build 4 fix so if you haven’t already got the 5.50GEN-a on your PSP, download that. If you already have the firmware but are experiencing the bug, download the second file which will update you to build 4.

One last question, do i require a special Firmware before i update?
Great, i found out that i have a PSP-1004 with firmware version: 1.50
So, i can just update right away?
GREAT!
Thank you so much!
Wait
Read my previous comment.
It seems like you need to update to 5.00m33 first. Then you upgrade to 5.50GEN-a.
