2.81 downgrader or brick

[donowaino]

well i just bought a psp and somebody told me that upgrading is the best you can do. so i upgraded what i didn't know was that if i upgraded to 2.81 i cant play homebrews so can somebody please give me a 2.81 downgrader or something that wil totaly brick my psp so i can get back to the store and get a new one ?!?

[benh]

Well the problem is that at the moment there is no kernal access on 2.81 so that means that no programs such as a downgrader or something that bricks can get to the on board nand flash memory (where the firmware is put when you update) so you cant brick it that way, the only other way to brick a 2.81 is to wait untill the next update comes out, start the update and while your halfway through the update pull the battery out and you will have a brick

[donowaino]

thanks man, so i geus ill have to wait a couple of months :(

[JD/]

doesnt the font hack flash for like a second? maybe if he turns it off at the right time he can partially brick.

[benh]

font hack doesnt work on 2.81 because the tiff exploit is patched on 2.81

[jamesmc3stripe]

h e could just run a car over it:S lol no, eh... you could try and run an update tht is modified or s system reboot and, turn it off during tht, dont know if it will work but its worth a go, but what i did was put the battery in water for 20 mins and phoned up sonys warenty line and told them it was buggerd and they sent me a new one within a week, cause i stupidly upgraded to 2.80 before the exploit was found, and they sent me a 2.60:D i downgraded with gta and upgraded to 2.00 then downgraded again to have a clean firmware:D

[red_sox32]

couldnt you try to run the 2.71 downgrader i thought i remeber someone doing that on a 2.80 and it bricked. or also maybe try to run a custom firmware?

[Fatpics06]

[ICE]

a brick is a psp rendered as useful as a brick because the flash memory is corrupted.

[Video_freak]

Bricking can be fixed with a mod chip however. :)

[splodger15]

it will be a loooooooonnnnnnnnnng time for a 2.81 downgrader

[Fatpics06]

how can a brick help?

[skater9269]

to brick your psp is to make it unsuable or as usefull as a 200 dollar shiney brick.

[nafg20]

I have found psp 2.81 downgrader on torrentspy.com

That is a fake

[ICE]

fatpics, a brick cant help you in any way unless you really needed a $200 paperweight. if ur psp is 2.8 and a ta-082 you mite as well run it over and go for the warranty.

Just let the battery run out until there is 1% left so hopefully when you take it to the shop, it comes on then cuts out, seeming like a brick:D

[Fatpics06]

hmmm i was wonderin sum guy said he put his psp in a microwave n he waz able to run homebrew games is that a lie?

It would! I'd have a working 2.81, and he gets a brick. its winner all round.


Yes the new series of doctor who is awesome, thats me in the pic btw :)

[BL4Z3D247]

^lol but u have a point, why brick a perfectly working psp when he can just trade u for a brick...pure geneious :D

[ExcruciationX]

I say, re-sell it to gamestop, and try to find an old one. My friend found a 2.00 at gamestop once, (two months ago). It was a used one behind the counter! :)

[Cloudhunter]

^lol but u have a point, why brick a perfectly working psp when he can just trade u for a brick...pure geneious :D

Ahhh, now I get his point :P For some reason, the wires in my brain crossed and I thought the 2.81 was a brick >.<

That could be a good alternative, if you find someone who will swap you a brick :P

Cloudy

[Fatpics06]

lol wow i want a brick >.<

[SnesR0X]

lol, my friend got a ta-082 psp and wanted a reason to return it, so i took his and mine apart, swapped screens(mine a a big chunk of lint so the was a C shapped whiteness) so i got a brand new screen, and he could get a return, then we went to eb and got a used one for him, apparently someone had bought it, and sold it to them the next day(why he didn't just return it i don't know) but yea that's all good

[kapten]

Where Is The PSP HACKER , WE WANT THE HACK 2.81 :-(

[splodger15]

I presume you have a 2.81 all i can say is why update to it then want it hacked because it will be a long time before it does

[maxx2007]

hey does any body know were to find a 2.81 downgrader becuase is u do give me it and my psp never ever bricks

[M!ckeY]

no such thing exists.

[MikeDX]

The psp i wanted to swap has now been repaired. I bought a psp with a busted umd drive and swapped them over. Now I have a bricked psp with a busted umd drive and a perfect psp.

I have some more broken psps on the way too. Seems like I can get 2 good psps out of every bad 3.

If any of you are working on a downgrader try downloading a program called PBP Unpacker. This lets you edit the file. It may also trick the PSP into thinking it is a later version. Here (http://www.pdc.me.uk/dl/pbp-unpacker-094-setup.exe) is a link to the progam.

[M!ckeY]

That will never work.

That wont happen and the minute you mess with the sony eboot the encryption on it becomes broken and it fails to run

[JMastuh300]

I almost got it working once (I got it to open the file without displaying the Message), but then it said the game wasn't able to start. Is that what you mean?


PS: You can''t blame a guy for trying...

[JMastuh300]

Also What I meant was take a 1.50 EBoot and extract the files from it (PBP is just a psp compressed file/folder) and change the name and such so it doesn't pick up on the fact that it is an old update.

[splodger15]

The minute you mess with a eboot the encrption on it becomes broken

[mnuhaily22]

just run the 2.82 update, half way through, just pull out the battery.

[Elven6]

A new updates just out, have fun bricking

[drEDN4wt]

I like the sound of microwaving it.

If you do though, make sure you post a video of it.

Or maybe someones got an EMP machine you could put it next to, like in ocean's 11. :D

Well, you could get the modchip but it costs some $100 to obtain and you have to open up your PSP to solder it in. I can figure that it's a difficult task to do but once you have it inside, you can use the flasher tool to setup the modchip and possibly the onboard NAND flash.

However, you must make sure your unit doesn't have the TA-082 motherboard becuase the modchip current does not support it. You can check by opening the UMD drive door and checking the top right hand corner for the words IC1003. If it's there you can't install it, if not you're clear to go if you want to do it. A picture on how to spot a TA-082 motherboard can be viewed here (http://www.modchipstore.com/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=164).

[xela]

i noticed that pictures can be put in music files do think you can put the easyloader.tiff file into a mp3 or WMA or a PCM file and play the song or something and it will load the tiff or whatever the hell it does to make the emenu appear?

Thank You,
Xela.

[splodger15]

^ ^
That would not work.They need a exploit in 2.81 for a downgrade

[ymot]

hrm.. soo, can i return a brickd' one, and get a new one ? . :D

[splodger15]

If they accept and you have a reciept

But remember you may not get a PSP you can downgrade you might get a up to date version
