TA-082 upgrade back to offical FW?

**SpooForBrains** · August 11th, 2007, 09:58

My cousin really wants to have custom firmware put on his PSP, after seeing mine.

He has a TA-082 motherboard, and last time I was paying attention users with TA-082 motherboards couldn't upgrade back to official Sony firmwares, and I don't want to deny him that option.

Has this changed, since?

He's on 2.80, so which is the best downgrader to use?

If you do not have gta: lcs or lumines you have to use the 2.80 downgrader. It's pretty safe. (I've used this one for my psp and my friend's psp and it worked perfectly)

I have both, although I only have GTA:LCS with me.

Any idea on the ID storage keys problem with upgrading back to official firmwares? From what reading I've done I think the issue has been fixed and/or doesn't exist with the newer downgraders, but I can only find vague references and no hard info anywhere!

I used the 3.03 dg and it work for both me and a friend perfectly! It also patches the TA-082 motherboard

if u have GTA unpatched (FW 2.00 Version) upgrade to 3.03 and downgrade usin the 3.03 downgrader and the ID Storage will be dun for u!! always remember 2 read the read me and be careful!

Yes, but what about upgrading to official firmware again? As I understand it, with the GTA exploit, you can't upgrade to official firmware again because of the changes made to IDStorage
