Easy downgrader 2.50/2.60

[wraggster]

Xtrusion (http://psp.xtrusion.es/en/) has posted a new downgrader for v2.50/2.60 PSPs.


I launched it in Spain 2 days ago and it's becoming very popular. There is a lot of people thanking me for building this easy method. Well, now I've made an english translation.

This is a easy and safe installer to help people to downgrade. A voice explain the requeriments and the steps to downgrade, and the automatic setup install the necesay files to downgrade!

Light version doesn't contain the DOWNDATER folder, so it's totally legal to download and spread it.

This Downgrader is good for newcomers as it is more friendly and totally talks you along the processes, this can be used as an alternative to the other downgrader released.

As with all these downgrader releases only use if 100% sure, read other comments before using

[**1_Man_Matrix**]

Wicked :D

Last week was full of temporary heart attacks, when the downgrader was released, so anything that lessons the panic when attempting this and makes it easier to use is a godsend.

We are lucky for such a simple interface and easy to understand instructions.

P.S - Anyone know of any downgrade/upgrade problems? Apparently writing to the flash isn't too good a thing to do too often... So I was wondering if anyone has done it, say oh... more than 10 times? 20 times?
Without getting a PSP paperweight? Thanks :cool:

[Unicorn]

I would like EVERYBODY (it doenst matter which firmware you have) to check it, its marveluos to see that tutorial-intallator on your PC, with voice instructions included.

Nice work, thank you for making easier that figthening downgrade Xtrusion :-)

[PSP-Sebastian]

I had a PSP with FW 2.01 then i update to 2.50
in the UMD slot is IC9001

can i downgrade ?

[Harshboy]

I have a 1.5 PSP (i didnt downgrade, cause i never had a 2.01 or higher Firmware on my PSP, only 2.0) and i tried the full version. This is so cool to watch on ur compy. Like another person said, try it even if you have a different firmware! Its so cool!

[m64fan]

do you need gta

[Cavern]

I want to downgrade, but i cant because then i need to upgrade.. so where can i find a 2.5 or a 2.6 update? i have looked for it, but cant find anything but 2.71... if i use the updater on the psp, that goes through the psp browser.. will it then jump to 2.71 from 2.01 wich is what i use...?

[xiringu]

I downgraded mine using this one. (Downloaded from another web, but the file should the same)

I waited a couple of days after the first rumours, and hours after the "final" version came out, I saw this one.


now I'm a happy 1.5 user :)

wooohoooo

[Aj_Phoenix]

can someone please tell me if this easy downgrader works with europe psp please!

[Aj_Phoenix]

my cousin did it anyways n for everyone it WOREKED!!!!!! this works on europe psps so everyone noes

[alucard001]

I bricked my psp yesterday so I contacted sony about it, of course not saying that homebrew caused it. they told me to ship it to them and they will give me a new one, i had to agree to that so they will probably send me a 2.7 psp which sucks balls, so im hoping to sell it for 200 bucks when i get it so i can find another psp that is either 1.5 or 2.00 i learned how to tell what fw version the psp is by looking at the box so hopefully they still have psps with that firmware.

[karelynyep]

pardon me for being retarded , so the downgrader is not meant for those PSP owners who bought the brand new PSP with the V2.60 ?

[gunntims0103]

this is really good this should make it easy for others to downgrade dark alex did a great job with this

[Kvonx]

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!! but i already downgraded so this is not needed by me lol but dis iz kool tho jus try it!

[Cavern]

if anybody knows something about where i can get the 2.5 or 2.6 from please say it... I wont be able to downgrade otherwise

[gotmilk0112]

im using this one instead.

[Ichijoe]

Google is your Friend!!!
Hint Try 'PSP Hacking' -- Chances are 99% That the very First Site has what you need!!

[JNJC]

Hi Cavern,

You can get the firmware updates at:

http://www.psp-hacks.com/category/10

HTH,
JC

[psychadelicious]

Yes!!! I just upgraded from 2.01 to 2.60 and then googled downdater 1.50, saved that shizzle, then downloaded this shizzle and it worked!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank YOU!!!!!!!!!

[techne]

yes it does need gta. and by the way. the promotional PSPs given out by yahoo in japan all have the incompatible model:( well what is free is free:)

[felonyr301]

so many shizzle's up in that sentence "psycho" newbie lol:D

[indo_stylo]

WHoooooooohoooooooooow
I got 1.5 now :D:D thnx to the developers!!
Respect bro's!! I really apreciate your hardworks guys!!
And thnx for the people here who giving tips. :)

[sirhax0r]

This is excellent news! Now almost anyone can be a 1.50 person! Unless they have:

a 2.71/2.70 psp or...
a TA-082 psp
...or in my case, i've lost the charger... but mine is a 2.00...
Anyway, if we get more luck, someones gonna figure out the 2.71 encryption, and we will be able to use 2.71 firmware through DevHook until 3.00 comes out!

[jogistyle]

i only want to say...GREAT JOB guys!!!thnxalot

[counterwise]

wasn`t the fisrst one easy enough? i downgraded from 2.01 >2.50>1.50.No problem. And the instucktions were easy as hell. Now i am enjoing all of the is..i mean hombrew

[slayer2psp]

I want to downgrade, but i cant because then i need to upgrade.. so where can i find a 2.5 or a 2.6 update? i have looked for it, but cant find anything but 2.71... if i use the updater on the psp, that goes through the psp browser.. will it then jump to 2.71 from 2.01 wich is what i use...? you can get it from a game anything thats been out in the last couple of months is 2.5 or 2.6. dont do the network update it will do 2.71 also you can find firmware from other psp sites not hard to find

[DenofLions]

Just downgraded to 1.5, tried to boot quake from the game menu and got an error.

[simeon]

Hey i have got a 2.60 and love my psp games as well as homebrew. can i use that DEVHOOK 41D
thing to load my umds. if it cant load all umds can someone tell me if it can load Burnout leg,GTA lcs
and Dynasty Worriers.

Finally will future releases be able to load 2.70+

[jmzcherry]

What does it mean when it says you have 1.5 light version and you must copy the downdate from a v1.5 by hand?
Does this mean i need to know someone with a v1.5?

[Kramer]

What does it mean when it says you have 1.5 light version and you must copy the downdate from a v1.5 by hand?
Does this mean i need to know someone with a v1.5?

just go to www.psp-hacks.com (http://www.psp-hacks.com) they have the full package

[compoman386]

I have the same problem as Cavern, (need to upgrade from 2.01 before downgrading) I know that you can get the 2.5 or 2.6 firmware from a few different sites, but they are all US firmware and I have an EUR psp. Also the files that are dumpped from 1.5 firmware, do they also need to be dumpped from an EUR version of the 1.5 firmware or will the dumpped files from the US 1.5 found on psps hacks be ok?

[Kramer]

i used the US update on my mates euro psp yesterday and it upgraded and downgraded with no problems with the package from www.psp-hacks.com

[m64fan]

this is so cool i needed this but i trade with a friend

[rhayer4]

Thanx Kramer:)

I wanted to do this since I heard about it, but was too scared to. Also I didn't have anybodies v1.5 dump.

Using the Full easy version was cool, as I also did not want to put the files in the wrong place and brick.

BIG thanks must also go out to Dark AleX and yes that is how he spells it.

Looking forward to all the possibilities with homebrew ;) ;) ;) , which I now don't have to play with GTA in first.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D :D :D :D :D

[Oni]

This is freaking awesome... look at my hand, its shaking!!!... just got back from holiday and then i went to see what ive been missing... Couldn't beleave my eyes when i saw that there had come a downgrader for 2.5/2.6. But here I am, just finished downgrading and it worked 100%:D AWESOME!!!
(sorry for all the misspelling, but I can't controll my hand ATM:P)

ONi

[compoman386]

Big Thank You to Kramer, that's the first sensible answer I have had on this subject, looks like it's 1.5 for me when I get home from work!

[Cavern]

but i cant upgrade.. i have tried this file before and nothing happens. it still says that i have 2.01:(

[Kramer]

glad to help you guys.


but i cant upgrade.. i have tried this file before and nothing happens. it still says that i have 2.01:(

download this 2.6 update
http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/167
put the EBOOT.pbp in a folder called UPDATE then put the UPDATE folder in the GAME folder on your memory stick. Then go to game on your psp and run the update.

[negerjoe]

Hi all!

Now I´m a bit pissed off. I ran the easydowngrader for my 2.50 unit using the 1.5 dump from http://www.teamxl.biz. Everything seemed to work just fine but after reboot, I´m on 2.71?!?!

I guess the 1.5 dump was in fact a 2.71?

The problem also is that it´s not an "original 2.71" but some kind of hacked version where even my original GTA doesn´t work.

When it starts up there´s the futurama bot bender sayin "Bite my shiny metal ass" and then instead of the sony intro it´s some kind of pentagram style logo and a dark man showing up. The same logo appears when I try to start a game and then I get the error "The game could not be started FFFFFED3"

I could accept if running the downgrade would render the system corrupt but having this shit makes me crazy.

Anybody have any idea what this is and if it´s possible to reapply an official 2.71 image?

[jpalz]

Quick question:
I've got an American PSP, not a European one. So, do I use the English version of the downgrader or the Spanish one?

[Kramer]

negerjoe the dump you used was modified you dont have 2.71 youve got a modded 1.5

and jpalz use the english one

[Decius]

Success!
I just downgraded my 2.6 (originally a 1.52) using the full version of this at www.psp-hacks.com. This is very, very easy to use. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to downgrade but is scared of doing something wrong.

[D0N]

Nice work Xtrusion! This should surely help those in need!

[eliteflyer]

WOW this is sweeet! Although i am not 18 years old... no GTA! :(

[luis_05]

Yes!! oh my god!! yes!!! $%$@# i use this app to help me downgrade!! it was very helpful and cleared many questions i had!! Now i cna finally say im a PSP 1.5 user!!! oh god! i cant believe i jst said that!! yes!!! im so happy!!

[brainpan]

I just purchased a used ceramic white giga pack psp off ebay. Does anyone know what firmware those usually ship with? I am thinking 2.01

[SweetFA]

WOW this is sweeet! Although i am not 18 years old... no GTA! :(
Can't you play GTA via Devhook 0.41d if you use that to launch 2.5 firmware?

[Darktempalor]

I have a TA-082 PSP so is all hope lost for me?

[Kramer]

pretty much
just wait and see what Fanjita comes up with

[takumi_vng]

hello all!

If i understood well... these litle aplication is all we need to downgrade our 2.50/2.60 PSP to 1.5 or is there something missing?

I'm from Portugal, this works for me?

Thanks.

:)

[The_It]

So if I do everything correctly and I have the right kind of psp, this will have a 100% chance of working? And where can I get the right 1.50 dump files off the internet?

[Kramer]

its not 100% safe more like 98% and you can go to www.psp-hacks.com (http://www.psp-hacks.com) for the downgrader

[miguel123]

:( too sad i got a prefabric 2.6 (well i guess sO). Im kind of a noob, can someone explain me why it wont work on that one?

[kidloak09]

this downgrader is awsome, I had 2.6 and was limited to homebrew but now in about 5 minutes I am enjoying quality homebrew! Thanks for the downgrader!

[The_It]

The 1.5 us dump at http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/8 says it is for analysis only and you cant downgrade with it. Is that for legal purposes or is it a fact?

[gotmilk0112]

:( too sad i got a prefabric 2.6 (well i guess sO). Im kind of a noob, can someone explain me why it wont work on that one?

download the "easy downgrader" program in the first post and run it. you will see why it doesnt work.

[Kramer]

The 1.5 us dump at http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/8 says it is for analysis only and you cant downgrade with it. Is that for legal purposes or is it a fact?

dont download that download the complete downgrader package

[The_It]

So the downdater folder in the http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/598 downgrader is proven to work?

[Kramer]

yeah that will work fine if you put the folders in the right places

[The_It]

ok, one last question does the battery have to be charged to 100% and the ac adapter hooked up?

Sorry for all the questions, im kind of paranoid about doing this because I will have no one to blame if something goes wrong ( :

[Kramer]

yeah its best to charge it up to 100% and yeah you have to have the charger in

[The_It]

ok now This is the last question :P
I put the dump in DOWNDATER in the root of the memory card, not the mp_root?

[Zargon]

Out of curiosity, why won't it work on the specified model? I happen to have it (the one with the random-seeming digits written in the UMD drive) and was wondering WHY it won't work. Also, would it be even a possibility to make a downgrader for the PSPs that have 1C1003 written upside down on the disk drive in the upper right hand corner? Thanks and good luck on future projects!

[Kramer]

ok now This is the last question :P
I put the dump in DOWNDATER in the root of the memory card, not the mp_root?

yeah root of the memory stick not mp_root plus the link you showed me should allready have the dump in it

[The_It]

ok, would I be able to use the full version of the downgrader so i don't need to worry about missing files?

[Kramer]

yep

[The_It]

Ok... guess I'll try it now.. nothing better go wrong after being this cautious...

[Kramer]

dont blame me if anything goes wrong because everone else used that same package

[The_It]

ok... it worked... but it was too much for me to bear. I hope I don't have to do something like that again.

[Kramer]

cool thats good to hear
took me about an hour to muscle up the courage to downgrade

[The_It]

it took me ... how ever long its been since out!

[The_It]

grr now i gotta download the 1.5 version of all my emulators ) :<

[Kramer]

or you can get nokxploit and it patches the ram and you can use all the homebrew youve already got on there

[The_It]

ooh where do you get that : )

[The_It]

COOL. i found it at http://pspdev1.com/2006/04/10/nokxploit-patch/

[Kramer]

here it is
http://dl.qj.net/dl.php?fid=6442

[The_It]

what should I do about playing higher firmware games?

[Ghengis]

The_It brings up an interesting point -- will this knowledge somehow help us making better launchers to play FW 2.60 games on a FW 1.50 PSP?

[The_It]

hey, I just want to play the 5 games I have for psp on 1.50 without upgrading after going through all this trouble downgrading.

[Decius]

Use devhook to run new umds, and to access features on newer firmwares. Such as the web browser and location free player

[Fook Yu]

where do i save this file in my PSP???

[The_It]

where can I get the best version of devhook?

[mumbria]

Hi,

I tried running the full version of PSP downgrader however once I start GTA and load the program, the psp shuts off and starts reading the memory card like it should; then goes to the home screen where I get the message "The game could not be started (8002032D)"

Any ideas?

[mumbria]

Also a couple of other things:

1. Its a 2.5 PSP
2. I tried running the 2.6 update from two different sites to which both eboots told me that the data is corrupted and the update cannot begin.(I tried this on two different memory cards)

[jordanjordanjordan]

Can someone please tell me if it works on new zealand PSPs

[takumi_vng]

Hello ppl!

So, i have a 2.5 factory firmware and i never made an pdate to my PSP.

The files from psp-hacks.com will work on my psp or will brick?

If it makes any diference, i'm from Europe, Portugal.

Thanks in advance!

[The_It]

ok, now I have 1.5, and a lot of empty icons from all of the folders with % signs at the end of them on the game menue. how do I get rid of that?

[takumi_vng]

Hello again!!!

I have sucessfully downgraded my 2.5 psp to 1.5!!!

Thanks to all ppl who made this possible!!! :D

Just to know:

EasyDowngrader 2.50/2.60 Full used
2.5 factory PSP
IC6001 Motherboard
European, Portugal


Thanks again to all ppl!

[shrimpidy]

is there any chance of a downgrader ever coming to2.71? I made the mistake of doing it cus I didn't like the homebrew that was available on 2.6 and i thought there was never going to be a downgrader. I'm so stupid! At least I still have my brother's at 2.6.

[mumbria]

Just figured I would add a couple of more things for when people see my previous posts.

1. I tried going to Factory Default Settings which did not help at all.

2. Formatted the memory sticks each time I tried

Everything works on the system just fine it just doesnt wanna take any upgrade or downgrade on the bios...


Please help..:confused:

[LeperMessiah]

bricked my PSP.
DAMNIT
It won't load past a plain black screen. I followed all the instructions explicitly and made sure it was a compatible version PSP.
Is there anyway to do anything about this?

I just got a brand new PSP now so I won't be trying this again!

[takumi_vng]

Its not possible!!!

You must have done something wrong!!!

I dowgrader mine today, this morning!!!

:confused:

[LeperMessiah]

Its not possible!!!

You must have done something wrong!!!

I dowgrader mine today, this morning!!!

:confused:

No i followed all of the instructions to the letter.

Oh well I just took my bricked PSP back to the store and they gave a new one :P

[gotmilk0112]

well the downgrader has about a 98% chance of working.

[acn010]

well the downgrader has about a 98% chance of working.
did you downgrade yours?

[brook]

it says on the tutorial that u av 2 erase the memory stick...do u av 2 do this if uve got a 1gig aswell???

[burgess_1984]

It worked, I will never upgrade again, ive learned my lesson. thank you so much !!!!!!!!!. simply read the instructions carefully !!!!!!!

[myprelude]

HELP!!! I just downgraded my psp from 2.01>2.50>1.50 and my psp isn't running any type of homebrews anymore (snex9TLY-0.4.2,pspvbz, etc.) its not even playing any videos I uploaded on to it...much appreciated for any suggestion

[keatonkeaton999]

I currently have 2.60 FW because of an update I did a while ago, and had 1.51 or 1.52 FW when I first bought the system (I don't remember which I had). When I first put GTA into the system while I still had 1.51 it told me to update to 2.00 before playing. After I clicked the update, that "PSP Update ver 2.00" option went away. Later I updated to 2.60 and after I began using homebrew with the GTA eLoader, that "PSP Update ver 2.00" option eventually came back. Is the odd fact that this update is back some strange known indication that my psp will have trouble downgrading? Or does this update option show up for everyone with 2.60 and I am just unaware? I am just trying to be very very safe.

Does this work on American PSPs too?

[mumbria]

If anyone gets a chance could you please look at my posts on the previous page and see if there is anything I can do...Thank you very much

[RemixUnlimited]

Yay, now there will be even more nubs on the forum!

[b_simpson1999]

has any1 tried it on a 2.71 i whould but i don't want to brick my psp

[mexicansnake]

has any1 tried it on a 2.71 i whould but i don't want to brick my psp

the downgrader can only be used via eloader and you cant use the eloader in the 2.71...

[ferret45]

IT worked on my european v 2.6 psp!! how cool is that! thanks!:) :)

[arsewillow]

How do i find out what my factory set firmware was i bought mine second hand so i dont know what firmware it started at?

[Gargantula]

What is the easiest way to find out which GTA: LCS is the version that is unpatched?

I've been reading that for US version it's impossible to go with the ULUS number since it is the same.

I also wonder why the downgrader won't work with PSPs that have had the 2.60 firmware to begin with. Anyone know why? The motherboard issue sounds like Sony updated the hardware to make it harder to circumvent the security.

[lionman]

my psp is ic6001 ver 2.5...... can i downgarde it? or i must upgrade to 2.6 first ,then downgarde to 1.5?

[yugifan156]

Is there anyway this will work on my psp?
When I bought my psp it had FW 2.6...

[Kramer]

first you have to check if its a ta-82 first and if its not you can downgrade
http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1317/1596/320/TA-082-3b.jpg (http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1317/1596/1600/TA-082-3b.jpg)
if it doesnt have that gold writing in the top right your psp is downgradable
by the way thats inside the umd tray

[Yungblaqs]

yeah you lot are BIG!!! 4 dis release thank yoooooooooouuuuuuuu!!!!!!!

[Gargantula]

Download the full version of the program and run it, you get two images of explaining what you need to downgrade and then it asks whether you want to downgrade. If you click no, it will just quit. Easiest way to downgrade! Thank you all!

I went out and bought a used copy of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and it worked flawlessly! I am lucky that it was the unpatched US version.

Thank you to everybody on the homebrew scene, the PSP it seeing the whole $300 worth now, especially with the DevHook program!

I used the full version from psp-hacks with no problem. Where is the official site for the Easy Downgrader?

[tallica]

i got the full version from psp hacks but that wants to downgrade my psp to 1.0 and when i try and load the downgrader from the ms it says its corrupted data. i have fw v2.60 (EU Version). im guessing i have to use the light version and get an eu 1.5 eboot from somwhere, can someone link me to one please.

[takumi_vng]

Have tou tried the easy downgrader official site?

They have a FULL version of the easy downgrader!!!

I have used it, and it worked!!! :)

[gr42178]

I downgraded my 2nd PSP using the full install and it works great, just make sure you dont have the wrong motherboard and your set.

[Gargantula]

I guess that all new PSPs that are out there now come with the TA-082 motherboard. I guess the homebrew scene will stay limited now, unless a workaround is found for new users. I am now even more glad that I dumped $300 after a couple months, right before the price drop.

[yugifan156]

will the downgrader work if my psp is a IC1003?

[Kramer]

does it say ic1003 in the top right of your umd tray? if it does you cant downgrade

[yugifan156]

yea it says it in the top corner :( does that mean i can never downgrade?

[yugifan156]

so is that what it means then....cuz if thats the case im s*** out of luck i guess

[Gargantula]

From what I know, unfortunately yes. Did you get your PSP recently? I think all new PSPs are protected against this downgrader. Sony has found a way to prevent the homebrew scene from getting out of hand, I guess... or did they?

[PSPHacker1991]

I wish this would work with 2.71 : (

[takumi_vng]

I wish this would work with 2.71 : (

yeah... i know you wish!!!

I have a 2.5 factory PSP, and some time ago i also wished that the 2.0 downgrader will work on my 2.5 psp!!!

Be patient... something will come up!!!

:) :)

[yugifan156]

yeah... i know you wish!!!

I have a 2.5 factory PSP, and some time ago i also wished that the 2.0 downgrader will work on my 2.5 psp!!!

Be patient... something will come up!!!

amen to that

[minihippo]

Do you need GTA??? because i dont have it, but i desperatly need to downgrade!

[takumi_vng]

Xtrusion (http://psp.xtrusion.es/en/) has posted a new downgrader for v2.50/2.60 PSPs.


I launched it in Spain 2 days ago and it's becoming very popular. There is a lot of people thanking me for building this easy method. Well, now I've made an english translation.

This is a easy and safe installer to help people to downgrade. A voice explain the requeriments and the steps to downgrade, and the automatic setup install the necesay files to downgrade!

Light version doesn't contain the DOWNDATER folder, so it's totally legal to download and spread it.

This Downgrader is good for newcomers as it is more friendly and totally talks you along the processes, this can be used as an alternative to the other downgrader released.

[nofx_135]

could you tell me a specific web site to find it on

[Physicist]

:( Unfortunately these files are illegal, so you'll have to search for them yourself.

Hey dis program is BIG!! (ghetto black word meaning "extremely good")
safe ("thanx") for dis program keep up da good work
did you actually try it, cuz it looks 100% fake to me. its probably just a 2.80 update

[mastertronic]

What is the difference between the Light version of this Downgrader and the FULL version please? Thanks

[Video_freak]

i dont know what your talking about, but the file in the beginning of this thread has everything you need to downgrade :)

[Physicist]

have you even watched it? if you have, or indeed even looked at the screenshot. you would know that this is not the full version, it does not have everything you need to downgrade. thats why people say it doesnt contain the "DOWNDATER" folder, making it completely legal to distribute.

i completly downgraded with this pack :confused:
are you tlking about the 1.5 firmware dump?

[Cytrox]

i know this is my 4th post here.. but um.. i Just hate ppl (noobs) that dont do research on the psp b4 asking dumb Q's... just google around.. anything you want to know is on google.. heres the link if and if you dont know what google is.. then.. :/ heres the link.. itl prolly evolve ur way of doing research.... and please in future ask only after youve done seriouse research.. not like after just 5mins.. im talking maybe 2days worth of research.. cauz it really erritates some ppl << "me" >> to see ppl ask simple Q's that'd take a few mins to find an awnser for on google...

anyway.. enuf with the bad mood blastout... (I JUST WISH THEY'D RELEASE A 2.7+ DOWNGRADER) No0o0o0 .... lol

Great Job on the 2.6 downgrader!! wish ya luck for any further works ya do :)

[SINIStER]

This pkg is not complete due to legal reasons thus making it legal to post on this site.The pkg does include a readme that explains what you need,where it goes and how to go through the go about the process.If you want an easier alternative visit one of those dodgy site's that you can find on google.If you would have read through this topic you would already know that. :p

I borrowed GTA:LCS from a friend of mine, and this program guided me all the way through and now I play all homebrew on my 1.50 PSP. I was so angry when I got my 2.01 PSP.

Thanks to everyone who found the exploit, made the downgrader, and for making a very easy and safe wizard.

[rax]

I have a psp which is a JPN psp-1000 orig fw was 2.0 . I downgraded it for a mate back in december to 1.5.

Month back he sold it me, but it now has 2.5 fw.

So what i want to ask is do i have all the right things?

I have:
gta prepatched
Downgrader2.50-2.60ENFULL

does the Downgrader2.50-2.60ENFULL install the eloader on the ms?

I will be doing this on a 32mb ms which i have now formatted.

Anything else i should know?

Cheers

[Cronaroth87]

I just decided to get a PSP again and it came with 2.6-is there anyway to run emulators on it without GTA LCS?

[Video_freak]

No. You need an unpatched version of GTA.

[Cronaroth87]

how can u tell if the game is unpatched or not?

[Video_freak]

The unpatched version doesn't have a gun on the actual disc. All the new UMDs in stores are patched, so you might want to rent it or borrow it from a friend.

[Cronaroth87]

??? can u show me a pic??? GTA LCS came out well after I got rid of my first PSP

[rax]

I got mine from ebay £ 21

just ask them if its got firmware 2.0 as the updater.

[Cronaroth87]

oh wait-I live in the US-I did some research-it looks like they didnt patch it here

[Video_freak]

[Cronaroth87]

oh heh heh heh-sorry about that-so pretty much-get the one that doesnt say ROCKSTAR LEEDS on the top

[rax]

In my local games store they had preowned gta for sale. the covers were as if its a prepatched one but the umd was patched. luckly i just asked him straight out, he told me they were all 2.6

[Cronaroth87]

granted-if u look at the second picture-it looks like it was a store website picture-since it lacks the information on memory stick space needed etc....

[Video_freak]

Yah pretty much. You could always rent it just to downgrade. :)

[Cronaroth87]

good idea-cause I just hate GTA LCS on PSP-too blurry

[Cronaroth87]

thanks guys

[Video_freak]

your welcome. I hope you find an unpatched version and that you successfully downgrade :)

[Yungblaqs]

dis shit is da best thank you man!!!!!!!!!

[Video_freak]

Your welcome ;)

[deckstar]

I followed the instructions and got v1.5 on my psp but now i cant play any games as i get a message saying " to start, you must update the system software" Any ideas what went wrong?

[Video_freak]

thats normal, since you downgraded, your psp cant play new games anymore. you can use devhook to emulate 2.71 to play all your new games :)

[deckstar]

cool thanks, one my question as i am a complete newb where in the psp directories do i place the homebrew apps and stuff so that i can run them?

[Video_freak]

in the GAME folder you. you'll get two folder Example and Example%, those are the ones you put inside GAME (GAME is supposed to be inside PSP) ;)

[deckstar]

i got the game directory but no example ones should i create them?

[Video_freak]

i got the game directory but no example ones should i create them?
:confused:

[deckstar]

i got no example directory or example% directory under game in my psp

[Video_freak]

what i mean is like if you get homebrew, for example the N64 emulator Daedalus. You will get two folders Daedalus and Daedalus%. you put those two folders in GAME ;)

[deckstar]

i get it cool, dude your a legend thanks very much!!:D

[Video_freak]

thnks man. :D

[fistikuffs]

Hi guys i'm sure this has been asked before but just one more time pleeeez....

I have succesfilly downgraded my psp from 2.6 to 1.5 no probs so i understand the process. But now my cuz has got one and it looks like its a factory 2.6. I remember reading that it can't be done on these but i think i read somewhere else that its not important as long as you don't have the TA-802 board. Now my cousin is determined to downgrade his factory 2.6 and as i'll be the one doing it i need to know if you guys think it's possible with a factory 2.6?

Thanks for the help guys!

[Video_freak]

You can tell if it's a TA-082 by opening the UMD drive and looking in the top right corner where you see a little green. If there is writing there, then it's a TA-082. If the writing is on the top left side, then it's ok to downgrade. ;)

[fistikuffs]

cheers mate i understand that part ok it's just the factory 2.6 firmware i'm worried about?

[Video_freak]

it doesnt matter if its factory 2.6. what matters is if its TA-082. (most 2.6 factories are TA-082's) ;)
nice sig btw :)

[fistikuffs]

Cheers video freak i just have to say your a really good guy i've been looking through the help forums and you are always willing to help people fair play to you.
Also one question, your location says Bay Area but in one post you said you are french so is it the bay of biscay area? lol
Thanks for the help and glad you like the sig!

So what hardware version do you need to downgrade? IC1003 or the TA-83 one? Ive read both-mine says IC1003...

[lilmoozikkid]

[cronaroth]

Can nobody answer? Two ppl in a row have asked now....which one is undowngradable-IC1003 or the other-ive read both ways-so im confused and so is the other guy...

[FrierTuck]

this is great, one of my friends is going to trade me his 2.5 psp for my 2.7, that means i can downgrade yay, i had a 2.00 why the hell did i upgrade, oh well moving on to better things...

If the writing is in the top right hand side where you see a little green, then you can't downgrade. If it's in the top left hand side, then you can. ;)

[cronaroth]

damn-on the right side-but both sides have green is what I dont get

[cronaroth]

will they get it to work ever with us unfortunate owners with the writing on the right side? and just wondering-why does it matter?

[uudem]

[LugoBoga]

What are the chances of bricking the damn thing with this new downgrade then compared to the older version downgrades, anyone?
cheers

[FazPSP]

Greetings mates, this is my first post. Justed wanted to ask some questions about downgrading using EASY DOWNGRADER FULL VERSION.
1) I know that it contains the full 1.5FW therefore i don't need that, but does it automatically created the folders on MS and place the files in the correct order??
2) Does the full ED also install the eloader for you.
3) I don't have a TA-082, but mine is a PSP-1007 (taiwanese) version, it was originally 1.52 i upgraded it to 2.60, will it be ok??

In the end i must say VIDEO FREAK & KRAMER Rock!! You gusy are so helpful, great work, keep helpin the pirates... ops ... i mean gamers. hehe..

[Minasodrom]

hi, i have googled several sites and found out that th ic6001 model can be downgraded, allthough it had 2.5/2.6 preinstalled. is that right?
if you downgraded your psp with this downgrader, will you be able to update it with the normal updater again or will the firmware be wrecked??

thx

[punkpie]

Ran this last night. Went through the whole black screen process, mem card flickered for a few minutes then the screen went black and just stayed there. I left it for 10 - 15 mins like that.
It didn't reset, I didn't get the cannot load message. Now the PSP does nothing when powered on.
I checked everything. It was fully charged, plugged into ac adapter, was a 2.5 firmware updated to 2.6, had all the files in the right place on the memory stick and had a 1.5 dump in the correct place and it didn't work.

Is there anything I can do?

[mandeep22]

DOES IT WORK for psp with TA082 motherboard ?

Have you checked if your psp is not A TA082. Search forums to learn how to confirm if your psp is a TA082 motherboard psp. When u open UMD drive look on the upper corner of inside the umd drive just below the IRsensor. If it has a number IC1003 , dude your psp is BRICKED. And it means its dead so u got to install new motherboard costing 100$ approx!!

So just pray it aint TA082 and open ur UMD if you already have not done so

[dejkirkby]

PunkPie> Golden Rule #1- Check that you ain't trying to downgrade a TA-082. Sucks if you have bricked. But it ain't like the warnings are hidden.
I just downgraded another PSP using this. That's like 6 or 7 now.

[Courage_dog]

i'm using a mac and the 2.6-1.5 lite downgrader only works with a pc can some one help me?

Are there any versions of this program for a mac i really need one :'(

[Video_freak]

Are there any versions of this program for a mac i really need one :'(
I think it's PC only... :o

[Minasodrom]

plz!! can somebody tell me if i will be able to update after downgrading?

[dejkirkby]

You will be able to update after downgrading to 1.5, but why would you want to. With DevHook you will not need any new firmware.

[Minasodrom]

thx! just wanted to know if the its a cracked firmware or if its the original one you are downgrading to.

and i have one other little question. i got the IC6001, is it possible to downgrade even if 2.6 was preinstalled?

[Video_freak]

If you have a TA-082 motherboard, you cannot downgrade yet.

[alkesh]

hi new to this. a quick question. have got a ver 2.6 and i cant see ta082 on right hand side of the pcb but on the left i can just make out ic6001. can i downgrade this. thanks in advance.

I can't extract the downgrader from the zip folder.
Don't know why???
