Many people have been facing problems with the latest 3.71 M33 custom firmware, from bricks to their Wifi malfunctioning. This is not an indication that 3.71 M33 is unstable. There is no such thing as unstable firmware. If the firmware was truly unstable, then your PSP would be doing things like shutting down and rebooting randomly. Instead, all these things are just bugs in the code.
For example, there was a chance of bricking when installing 3.71 M33. People reported bricks on entering the Settings menu after they had just installed 3.71 M33. This bug was easily fixed by simply restoring default settings before you updated your PSP.
One bug that I've seen many people complain about is their Wifi breaking down on installing 3.71 M33. Unfortunately, this is a bug even on official Sony firmware, so we can only wait for Sony to fix it, before we can possibly get a fix for it in the next custom firmware update.
Note that this is a very interesting bug, as only some people encounter it. Most people have no problems with their Wifi even after updating to 3.71 M33. If you're using the old PSP, you might want to try updating first, since you can still go back to 3.52 M33-4 if you wish to. For PSP Slim users, I don't think it's possible to go back to 3.60 M33 from 3.71 M33, so think before making your choice.
If you still have an old PSP, I'd recommend you remain at 3.52 M33-4 for now, until the bugs in 3.71 M33 have been ironed out. If you have a PSP Slim, stick to 3.60 M33. Of course, if you have updated your PSP Slim to 3.70 or 3.71, or you've bricked it, the Universal Unbricker will automatically install 3.71 M33, so you don't have a choice there. Not to mention the fantastic custom theme support on 3.52 M33-4 which isn't available on 3.60 M33 and up.
Is your PSP fine after updating to 3.71 M33? Or did your Wifi stop working? Please leave your comments here!
