Also, this is NOT permanent CFW. It is NOT saved to the flash memory of your PSP 3000. Saying that it is permanent CFW for a PSP 3000 is not only false, but it is also going to scare a SHIT LOAD of people. This is essentially what the permanent patch does. It replaces ONE FILE in the flash memory of your PSP. The vshmain.prx on your PSP is replaced with a vshmain.prx that contains a function to reinstall the HEN when the PSP boots up. It has been shown to be safe of PSP 1000, PSP 2000, and PSP 3000, however even Total_Noob (the guy that made the HEN in the first place) bricked his PSPGo when he tried to install it, it is NOT for the PSP Go.
One last EXTREMELY important note. When you install the permanent patch, you will notice a file on the root of your memory stick called vshorig.prx. This is the ORIGINAL vshmain.prx that was on your PSP. DO NOT DELETE THIS FILE OFF OF YOU MEMORY STICK FOR ANY REASON. You will need it to uninstall the permanent patch, and without it, you could screw up your PSP. Also, it is VERY SMART to back up vshorig.prx on your computer somewhere in case you accidentally format your memory stick or delete vshorig.prx.
Otherwise, very helpful, well written tutorial.
