About FW1.00/1.50 on TA-082~086 PSP

[wraggster]

Ookm (http://0okm.blogspot.com/2006/12/about-fw100150-on-ta-082086-psp.html) posted this update on his site:


Many people ask about :
can run xxx Homebrew on "FW1.00/1.50 TA-082~086 PSP" ?
so i post this information :P

TA-082~086 PSP with CORRECT HACK,
it can run ALL FW1.00/1.50 Official / Homebrew software !!!
(except Official FW1.50~2.50 UpDate EBOOT.PBP)

TA-082~086 PSP with CORRECT HACK can run Any FW(1.00~3.03) :P
it can't run Official FW1.50~2.50 UpDate EBOOT.PBP
but it can run UnOfficial Up/DownDate EBOOT.PBP :P

if a FW1.00/1.50 TA-082~086 PSP can't run ANY FW1.00/1.50 Official / Homebrew software,
that mean it haven't CORRECT HACKed :P

Ok ill let you all try and work out what that means :D

[Vendeta]

WHAT A WHAT A WHAT?!?!?!??????
very confused

[penileartery]

i didnt understand, weird

[GobboFett]

Basically from what I gathered, it says that TA-082/TA-086 motherboards with something called CORRECT HACK can run ALL homebrew software but CANNOT run official Sony update PBP's from 1.50-2.50. It appears that this can only be done with custom Firmware updates/downdates (from any version 1.00-3.03) and not actual official Firmwares. This CORRECT HACK sounds pretty good for higher mobo users, hopefully they too can soon enjoy portable PS1 emulation :D

[Vendeta]

sumthing about 1.5 ta-o82 psp and them running all homebrew includeing OE B... and soft down...

[razorak]

i agree with gobbo's interpretation...hope someone finds out how to do it :).

[F9zDark]

I don't think he meant "something called" Correct Hack. I believe he meant that a TA-082/086 PSP, with THE correct hack, CAN run homebrew, BUT it cannot run update eboots for 1.50-2.50 (kinda necessary for a downgrader...)

The second part I believe is clarification of the first, but I believe he also mentions that TA-082/086 PSPs can operate with any firmware, but since it cannot run 1.50-2.50 update eboots, downgrading isn't possible.

On his site he clarifies that a SoftDown (Soft-Downgrader; I believe this is a downgrader that changes the PSP's version number to 1.0 then that allows you to 'update' to 1.50) on TA-082/086 will NOT work (I suppose because these PSPs cannot run 1.50-2.50 update eboots). However it holds some promise for a 'Hard Downgrade', which involves deleting flash entirely and rewriting it with the lower firmware's files.

This indicates to me, that Sony tried to directly thwart downgrading by making these new motherboards NOT ALLOW the running of 1.50-2.50 update eboots. (Running the 1.50 eboot is NECESSARY for downgrading).

Dark Alex and Math announced a TA-082 downgrader on other sites tonight. It's being tested now, and will release this week. I think Ookm helped them find the "Correct Hack" that allows TA-082-086 Mobo's to Run Custom Firmware.

[Destroyer699]

Stop teasing us Ookm.

[carpy]

Seriously.

Dark Alex announced a SUCCESSFUL TA-082 dowgrader on his own site, it's all over the forumes at pspupdates and maxconsole.

[pubudu]

ya,sony made the ta 82+ psps
unable to run the 1.5-2.6 cuz at that time all versions 1.5-2.6 were able to be downgraded


i think what o0km saying is
if you find some good methods
and change around some files too, in the eboot
its possible to be "downgrade-customed"
so you can run some sweet homebrew and iso w/e..



and o0km knows how i think
but ibelive he said it was different for each psp ta82
and he dosent have a way to make it easier

[xXAlucard]

that's insane...if this is released soon and i can upgrade to 3.02 oe-b somehow and run ff8 and tomb raider 4 the last revelation.....i dont think ill ever put my psp down, even when i'm home, and ill fly to japan, knock on 00okm's and dark alex's door, and shake their hand. then i might start being a little gay, but its ok, bc if this works ill be gay for them.

[jondoe696911]

well this combined with the information about the hard down for the 82's that ookm posted a while back, from what i get is there is a bootstrap issue, so i am envisioning some soldering involved to the mobo itself, as well as having to have the custom fw's. this has been possible for the 82's for a bit, though it was privilaged information (ookm knew but to prevent unimaginable bricks didnot release it.) and to this i say, give a tutorial for these people, let them know what you know. i may not be one of the people that have the 82 or 86 psp, but i remember having to wait months for a 2.71 downgrader, and these people have been waiting longer than i ever could.

[Vendeta]

ya no... no being gay on this site or near the legendary Dark AleX... as for 00okm i dont really know him.... go be gay with him.... but theres really downgrader????

[FrostyTheSnowman]

TA-082's being able to run custom firmware... I can see it happening.

*crosses fingers*

[Veskgar]

Seriously.

Dark Alex announced a SUCCESSFUL TA-082 dowgrader on his own site, it's all over the forumes at pspupdates and maxconsole.

Say what? It can't be. I'm still in shock over 3.02 OE-B and PS1 compatiblity that this new news about a TA-082 downgrader is too much to take.

What firmware TA-082's can be downgraded?

[splodger15]

I understand every bit of what he said

[razorak]

Seriously.

Now that i gotta see...going over to take a look...

[tsurumaru]

No such news on the DAX sites. I noticed there were a lot of idiots posting on PSPUPDATES (whats new!) with references to the fake downgrader from the other week.

What I think 0okm might be referring to is that TA082 blocks Sony's Official 1.5-2.5 Update PBP's from running (and that is all it does), however if you were to run a custom 1.5fw update (not blocked by the motherboard) in conjunction with one of the known exploits you could then downgrade to custom 1.5 and then upgrade to 3.02OEA/B with no problems (You could never run the official 1.5-2.5 updates though).

I've just been reading up for the past hour on what Harddowned TA82 1.5fw owners have been saying and everything matches up. All have been able to update to 2.71 SE or 3.02OE A/B but cannot use recovery mode and the official 1.5 EBOOT to downgrade to 1.5fw again. (They get partial bricks in which they need to copy over the 1.5fw flash0 files from another 1.5 PSP to fix).

Hmm I wonder what 0okm's softdown method is?

OK found some more info from 0okm's Softdown FAQ:

When will you start the SoftDown process?

In order to write the Program I need TIME
Please wait
If you don't want to wait, please leave, don't waste your time.

Will I be able to update to 2.0 and then down to 1.5 again to get a clean firmware? (whats the difference between clean and unclean 1.5 anyway?)


no
just like PSP-1007 can't run FW1.50 UpDate EBOOT.PBP
TA-082 can't run FW1.50 - FW2.50 UpDate EBOOT.PBP

and i don't want to released the "clean FW1.50 image file"(that is illegal !!)
so i need time to make a "Write software" that can generate "clean FW1.50" :P

Will I be able to upgrade to 3.0 when ps1 emulator comes out?


yes
TA-082 can run FW2.60/FW2.70/FW2.71/FW2.80.... UpDate EBOOT.PBP

How do you intend to manually downgrade hundreds of psp if it takes 45 minutes to do each one?

i think each day i can help zero to five TA-082 user to softdown :P

0okm , Another question : Is factive to release a patch maker ?
A piece of software that's reads the dump file and patch the original fw1.50 ?
Tks.

no
i don't know how to make a AI software
that can Analyzes the Data than patch the "FW1.50 image file" :P

First of all, I appreciate your work very much, but there´s one thing I don´t understand. Why do we have to send you the dump? is it different for each psp? if that´s true, can you give us a simple explanation?

simple explanation - each PSP have different KEY :P

[sappo]

Simple, he refers to HARDDOWN. That's the correct method.

Do you want to harddown? Easy. Simply solder over 20 microwires on your Flash0/1 chips, after opening your PSP.

He said that TA082-086 support 1.50 by doing that.

A TA Downgrader isn't impossible, but when, it is difficult to say.

[digitalpedro]

I brought a v1.5 with a TA 82 off ebay so i assume this was done using the harddown method. Does anyone know if i could run 3.02OE B on this?

[burrito]

This means probably that a patched 1.50 downgrader has to be installed, different for each PSP. I just hope Ookm makes a program on the computer that patches the downgrader for your psp by itself, after you tell it the serial number, or whatever you need.

Or maybe it could be patched with hex editing? :confused:

No such news on the DAX sites. I noticed there were a lot of idiots posting on PSPUPDATES (whats new!) with references to the fake downgrader from the other week.



Yeah, there are a bunch of idiots discussing it, like Dark Alex and Matheliuh, and a few of their Beta Testers.

DAX posted it on his site last night, and then took it down when the irc# Channel they were discussing it on got flooded with noobs. It's real. It's being worked on. So far 3 successful TA-082 downgrades, and one brick, and Math figured out what caused the brick and it's been patched.

I wouldn't count on an immediate release, as DAX likes to take his time and make sure it's ready for public consumption, but it IS COMING.

Patience.
