3.03v downgrader & HEN for v3.03 Released - Newest PSP Firmware Downgradeable

[gunntims0103]

DIGG THIS (http://digg.com/gadgets/3_03_Downgrader_Released_Latest_Version_of_PSP_Fir mware_Now_Downgradeable)

Fanjita (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/search.php?searchid=994749) and Ditlew (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/search.php?searchid=994753) have released a new downgrader for the latest version of PSP firmware, heres the latest release info below:


v3.03 Downgrader

After much work over the past few days, we finally succeeded - we have an easy-to-use downgrader for v3.03 PSPs!

Some ground-rules:

* This downgrader is for v3.03 firmware only. But if you have v2.81 - v3.02, no problem - you can just upgrade to v3.03 to use the downgrader.
* You need a copy of the unpatched GTA:Liberty City Stories UMD. No ISOs, no patched UMDs, not Vice City Stories. See here for some info on how to check if your version is patched. The most reliable way : the unpatched disks have the v2.0 firmware update on them.
* This downgrader is intended to enable homebrew. Homebrew is NOT the same as piracy. Don't be a thieving loser - buy the games you play.
* The downgrader will work on all current PSP hardware (TA-079 - TA-086). Patching of TA-082+ is automatic in the downgrader.
* You downgrade at your own risk. There is always a chance of bricking, although we have done everything we can think of to make this process safe.

Full instructions for downgrading are included in the Downgrader_HOWTO.txt file in the ZIP file. Read them carefully! You will need

Warning: After downgrading from 3.03 to 1.5, there are some remnants of 3.03 left in flash. If you later try to re-upgrade to 3.03 and repeat the downgrade, things will break. At some later point, we will work on a cleaner that will remove these extra files. Until then, enjoy! (Don't worry, upgrading to 3.03 OE firmwares still works fine).

HEN for v3.03 (final release)

If you're not keen on the risk of downgrading your PSP, you might prefer to use a homebrew loader instead. Well, we've thought of you - we give to you "HEN 303 - the Duff release" (named in the eLoader tradition!).

HEN 303 (short for Homebrew ENabler) works in the same way as Dark_AleX's HEN for 2.71 firmwares. By running HEN, it installs a patch in your PSP's memory, that allows you to run homebrew almost as if you had a v1.5 PSP. This patch remains in place until you fully turn off your PSP - it will survive the PSP being placed into sleep mode.

The requirements for HEN are the same as for the downgrader - you need the unpatched GTA:LCS, and a v3.03 firmware PSP.

You can view the readme.txt file in the archive for more details about how to use it. Remember that not as much homebrew works with HEN as it does with eLoader or v1.5 firmware. But we hope to release an eLoader plugin for HEN soon, that would improve that situation - and remember that the amount of homebrew that works with HEN is increasing all the time.

Note: a pre-release version of this file was leaked on the internet. It is dangerous and could brick your PSP - do not run it or distribute it. The authentic version contains the text "This is the official final released version of 3.03 HEN" in the readme.txt file.

[Shrygue]

That's it, I am going to get this right now!

[gymnotropic]

S> Unpatched GTA:LCS $100. lawl~

On another note, sweet.

[eatnooM]

Wow, when I saw the leaked version I kinda lost hope that it would be soon due Fanjita apparently bricking his PSP. Glad this isn't the case, I know of people this will make quite happy :)

[pt9087]

Holy s**t that was fast... I was just about to post it. hehe.

Good luck to all DGer's

[NoQuarter]

Hopefully it won't be long before we see a non-GTA exploit.

[S34MU5]

YAY homebrew!

does it work for ta-082 and 86?

*EDIT: i see now, it works on all.

HOMEBREW FOR EVERBODY!!!1!11!! rejoice!

(and let the n00b threads flood in)

[ExcruciationX]

Awesome. Recent events involving this are fishy, however.

Why does a downgrader get leaked, and then released offically in less then 45 minutes?

Why, does that guy from QJ.net, prance over here, when he has no reason to?

[Zion]

wow, every firmware downgradable now (by updating etc)

amazing work :D

[pt9087]

yes you fool.. read it

[S34MU5]

shut up you idiot,
a quote from the first time pt9087 spoke to me on MSN
"your a PSP newbie"

:|

[gunntims0103]

Im going to test this out now :)

I have my friends psp at version 2.7 im going update his to 3.03 then try the downgrader out since i have a unpatched gta:lcs :P

[mikebeaver]

This is great news for all, thanks for putting it up in the right place Gunntims0103 I didnt know what to properly put in the post.
Thanks to all the hard work by Fanjita and the others from Noobz.EU, keep up the good work :)

[S34MU5]

The sales of unpatched GTA:LCS's on ebay will arise..

[pt9087]

shut up you idiot,

"your a PSP newbie"

If i must correct you again... Check your message history, you will find that your wrong.

Any sucess for anyone on this DG yet?

[buildit92]

forgive my language when i say

HOLY F#%$ING CRAP!!! HELLA COOL!!!!

final i cant wait to try it out. i wonder what sony will do next in reagards to this downgrader.

[S34MU5]

3.04?

and i dont keep chat logs....
because im not sad. I just block losers....

[Shrygue]

Sony will probably release an update to totally patch the GTA:LCS save exploit within a week or two; they did that when the 2.71 downgrader came out last September.

[foxzoner]

is this dowgrader for the firmware 3.03? how do you do it? do u need to hava a GTA: LCS game?

[emuking]

forgive my language when i say

HOLY F#%$ING CRAP!!! HELLA COOL!!!!

final i cant wait to try it out. i wonder what sony will do next in reagards to this downgrader.

they cant do anything since they have already patched this game before and many people are able to downgrade it

[Juanton3790]

WOW NICE SONY should just surrender, dis is a war they won't win. Homebrew for all. Although I must say, this is a gift and a cusre, Homebrew for all, but also a bunch of ppl are gon get illegal games and stop buying , which will very likely result in the loss of support by the PSP from all game makers. Cheers and R.I.P. PSP

[Shrygue]

is this dowgrader for the firmware 3.03? how do you do it? do u need to hava a GTA: LCS game?

The readme document supplied with the downgrader will tell you how to do it and yes you need an orginal GTA:LCS game sold before June 2006 whitch are unpatched; they have the 2.00 update data on them.

[devmas]

Wow. I am very fortunate to have a copy of the original Liberty City Stories. I could theoretically just walk around and downgrade PSP's! That's very nice.

Very, very nice.

[-Xandu-]

Another great day in the scene!

Well done, Fanjita and Noobz ;).

[Justise]

I love u man!

[sony.1991]

Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!

[Cloudhunter]

And with this release, alot more PSP noobs are released into the wild...

I better get back onto IRC fast...

[Justise]

Has anybody try it? Does it realy work?

[LilSwish722]

YES!!!!! IM STUCK AT 3.0...im dg tomorrow with my friends LCS game. This is the best thing EVER!!!111!11!11! lol

[Speediakal]

omfg, awesome.


do i need the unpatched version of GTA:LCS? I have the one with the 2.60 update, that won't work will it?


and how many people have bricked? and how many have succeded?

[buildit92]

Has Anyone Tryed This I Want To Try To Downgrade But Im Not Sure If It Will Work Has Anyone Done This Already

[Shrygue]

omfg, awesome.


do i need the unpatched version of GTA:LCS? I have the one with the 2.60 update, that won't work will it?


and how many people have bricked? and how many have succeded?

If you have a UMD of GTA:LCS with version 2.60 update data on that, no it won't work as it's the patched version.

[Jpdeathblade]

Can i downgrade the upgrade to 3.03-oec? and not brick?

[buildit92]

yes you can

[de.silva89]

Can i downgrade the upgrade to 3.03-oec? and not brick?

Yes it actually tells you that...

[Jpdeathblade]

dose it? i thought it said if you downgrade then upgrade it would get messed up, i must have read wrong k thx

[Sharkey]

Nice, My second psp is a 3.03 so I'll definately try this out, downloading the files now. Although I would like to hear if someone has successfully downgraded before I try it. ;)

Thanks for the downgrader guys, you rock.

[de.silva89]

no, you have just got the wrong end of the stick, if you downgrade, then upgrade to oe-c then downgrade and upgrade to 3.03 then it may brick

[pt9087]

this thread will be flooded with questions by tomoro night lol...

Nice work on the DG

[Plowking]

This is another great leap forward for PSP kind.......

[Jpdeathblade]

k when i downlo0ad it i get an error? anyone else

[de.silva89]

Hmmmmmmm...

Ok here's the thing - I bought GTA:LCS when it came out - UK version.

The game works on 2.00 PSPs

The disc however did have 2.6 version update on it, but you didn't have to update it to play.

The game also fully surported the eLoader/homebrew.

Therefore, I say that if your version of LCS was used with the older eloaders 9.xx etc, its unpatched and works. Even though it has 2.6 on the disc.

I bought it when it came out, unpatched - the exploit didn't exist then - I assume only one patched version of the game came out.

This might not apply to US.

...When GTA:LCS came out in uk it had 2.00 update with it, i know because i have it here and i am looking at it.

[Kvonx]

now we are all saved!!!!!!!!!!!!

[S34MU5]

when GTA:LCS came out, bersion 2.6 didnt exist. So i dont know how what you clame is a unpactched version can have a update for 2.60 on it.

I think the reason not many people have replied with results is because they are still trying to did out GTA :P

[Shrygue]

I have the UK UMD of GTA:LCS and it has the version 2.00 update on that. I got it before June 2006, the point patched versiosn were being sold.

[pt9087]

Hmmmmmmm...

Ok here's the thing - I bought GTA:LCS when it came out - UK version.

The disc however did have 2.6 version update on it, but you DID NOT have to update the psp it to play the game.

I bought it when it came out, unpatched - the exploit didn't exist then - I assume only one patched version of the game came out, and I remember when this happened, it was many months or so later.

So, it should work even if you have 2.6, but this depends on what you know about the copy you have. I know mine is not patched. This might not apply to US.

I have never seen that before, are you sure... i think you would have updated your psp before

[Plowking]

You're right...original post removed. I kept thinking 2.6 because that was the firmware used with the expolit in GTA.

Then I 'pictured' it in my head...remembered it all wrong. DO'h

[wolfrainxd]

help, i got 2 the part where theres a screen filled wit words that says "hello world for the psp on 2.0.0 to 3.0.3..." what do i from there? hen 303 is not working

[Shrygue]

You're right...original post removed. I kept thinking 2.6 because that was the firmware used with the expolit in GTA.

Then I 'pictured' it in my head...remembered it all wrong. DO'h

The exploit also applied in firmware version 2.00, 2.01 and 2.50.

[de.silva89]

Format your psp and do it all again with just downgrader files, I had exactly the same problem.

[de.silva89]

I Just Did It Successfully Woohooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[buildit92]

k when i downlo0ad it i get an error? anyone else

it happen to me to but what i did was i went to noobz.eu and download it there . if u download it there it will probley work. if not pm and i can email u the stuff.

[zeritooverride]

Finally I successfully downgraded my second PSP :) Im happy it worked! Thanks to everyone who worked on this (if they ever read this!)

[AlinayG]

This is crazy stuff, back to the basics is what i always say~!!!

[de.silva89]

yes although there is a message, a BSOD which appears after resetting once complete but dont be threatened by it, just continue

[pt9087]

Anyone done it yet... i dont have GTA so i have to wait till tomoro to try out my bros.

[S34MU5]

nice to see it is working with everyone.
no bricks so far, and I doubt there will be any.

PS. DCEmu gives alot of errors when downloading, just keep trying


Anyone done it yet... i dont have GTA so i have to wait till tomoro to try out my bros.

[pt9087]

You got a week ban? didnt know about that.
You did attack me on MSN though.



SEE... Thats what i mean

[aTomIC]

Ok, i tried it 11 times and won't work.

Here's my data:
Sony PSP FW 3.03 (upgraded from 2.81)
GTA LCS ULES 00182 5280129


I did all in the readme!

After copied all files to the correct place, i started my LCS. It shows the logos and warranties. After that, it'll loading the savegame. Then it loads the game and at 50% my psp hangs up and resets after 6 seconds.

No 3.03HEN and similar.

Ok, i tried the Goofy Exploit (it worked on my PSP 2.81) and it won't run. Whats wrong or what do i wrong?

[Nicko01]

Here is an ebay with GTA unpatched i found:
http://cgi.ebay.com/UNPATCHED-Grand-Theft-Auto-Liberty-City-Stories-PSP_W0QQitemZ330082143069QQihZ014QQcategoryZ62053Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

[buildit92]

um does your GTA update say 2.00 cause if not that could be a problem. and also i think u need to update to 3.03 HEN but im not sure. youll have to check about that.

[S34MU5]

Nick01, I think its U selling that.
Whoever it is knows about the 3.03 downgrader

[aTomIC]

yes, it says 2.00 update and it worked on FW 2.81 with the Goofy Exploit. I think, this exploit did not work on 3.03!

[wolfpack]

time to downgrade my 3.03 psp then!

[buildit92]

pm me your msn or aim sn and i can help you there

[Broadus]

OH SWEET DEAR JESUS, HOLY CRAP! I can't wait to tell my friend! He's been wanting a 1.5 PSP for the longest time, but has been too lazy to buy one, but now he can downgrade!
I remember he had a 2.60 PSP, and I offered to let him borrow Grand Theft Auto to downgrade, and he was like "Nah!" and then went home and upgraded, then felt stupid when he saw me playing homebrew and crap on my PSP.

[aTomIC]

i sent you a pm

[Sharkey]

I decided to try it out. I successfully made it to the final step that says "Load the included NetConfigBackup" but when I try to start it I get the old cannot be started error. Anyone else get that? How important is this final step?

I'll try to seipsptool or kxploit it to see if I can get it to run.

Other than that, it was pretty easy. I did have to copy over my files though becuase gtalcs wouldn't load hen at first.

Nope I still can't get it to load so now what should I do, I'm afraid to use it.
This is what the readme says "try adding a temporary network config, then deleting it and run the netconf backup". I guess I should figure that out and try it lol. Unfortunatley I have no idea what it means.

Ok I did what it said, made a new connection then deleted it. Still the NetConfigBackup won't load. Any ideas, this is getting a bit frustrating.

[aTomIC]

ok, after ejecting the battery and the power cabel and reinsert the power cabel, i started it again. Now, it loads 50%, stopped, shows 1 sec. a white screen and then a black. after some sec. my psp powered of. I think you can downgrad from 2.81 till 3.00 but not from 3.03 (the Goofy exploit won't work and i have the correct GTA-LCS because the goofy exploit worked on fw2.81)
If somebody had downgrade a 3.03 please tell me how, please.

[n8archer_XI]

my PSP is busted right now, so this sux...bad

[buildit92]

i have on question. do i need 3.03 HEN inorder to downgrade. and how do i use it

[Jpdeathblade]

ok guys i did it 100% flawless

[hardedge71]

thank you all coders involved in this project-i wana donate to them...like i did for dark alex and his 3.02 firmware on xmas day (i was so thrilled)...
i dnt hav much-but i dont tink they would mind that :)
does ne1 no how i can donate to the Noobz team via paypal?

once again,thanks again for this development-and again another marking point for the homebrew community!!heh

ROCK ON!!

[chris70509]

anyone done it yet

[baracki96]

beautiful, just beautiful. I have two friends who have been waiting for a 2.81 downgrader since they found about about hombrew through me. Tommorow we are meeting at a starbucks and are going to enjoy some brew' and coffee. To all that worked on and created this downgrader and HEN, I commend you as you have basically made a downgrader that can work for all the firmwares currently out. Sweet:cool:

[Veskgar]

Its usually on the www.noobz.eu site but to conserve bandwidth they limited the site to just the downgrader page for now. They definitely deserve a lot of donations, as does Dark_AleX & co. As do many many coders for that matter.

I hope as the scene gets bigger that donations increase because it is truly phenomenal what has been accomplished.

[S34MU5]

go to there website here (http://www.noobz.eu/)
and click donate at the top right

[aTomIC]

anyone done it yet

yes, but it won't work on fw3.03 :(
HEN for v3.03 did not work, too :(

and i made all things thats in the readme

[BelmontSlayer]

i have on question. do i need 3.03 HEN inorder to downgrade. and how do i use it

Why are you offering to help, if you don't even know how? HEN is used to play homebrew without downgrading. It loads a patch into the RAM that lets you play homebrew until you turn off your PSP.

To downgrade you will need:

GTA: Liberty City Stories (Unpatched version - Has a 2.00 update on it)

v3.03 Update EBOOT (http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/958) (Only if you are on firmware 2.81 to 3.02)

v1.50 Update EBOOT (http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/4)

Noobz-Team 3.03 Downgrader (http://files.fanjita.org/psp/303dg.zip)

Be sure to read the file "Downgrader_HOWTO.txt" to understand how to successfully downgrade.

[Sharkey]

yes, but it won't work on fw3.03 :(
HEN for v3.03 did not work, too :(

and i made all things thats in the readme

The downgrader and HEN itself worked for me and my 3.03.

I just can't get the NetConfBackup to run.

[blackrave]

Congratulations, Noobz and everyone that has contributed, and good luck and congratulations to people who will use this.

Unbelievable news! :)

[shibby420182]

3.03 OE-C now installed, now i gotta break out my old ps1 games and see how it looks on the psp!!

Thanks a lot NOOBZ and DARK ALEX and everyone else involved in bringing me back to homebrew

P.S. the netconfigbackup is only to keep your network connection without doing all the work of making it again, or atleast that is what i understand. so it is not needed

[aTomIC]

The downgrader and HEN itself worked for me and my 3.03.

I just can't get the NetConfBackup to run.

What did you do that HEN303 (in the downgrader) works? Sometimes i get short a white screen and then a black. After some sec. (i think 6 sec.) my psp turns power off. Before i upgraded to 3.03 my psp had firmware 2.81 and the goofy exploit worked with my lcs. And now, on 3.03 it didn't work.

[adrian rod ortiz]

now i can downgrde every ones psp jk jk just my bros

[Mc_Logical]

cool sooner than expected, i can now downgrade my mums bf`s psp lol he updated to 2.81 to play demos then the 2.8 downgrader came ahhhh! lol ive downgraded a few psp`s my 2.0 and 2.6 then 2 bro`s psp`s 2.71 and now im about to do a 3.03 then install 3.03 OE C :p i bought gta lcs the day it was released with the 2.0 update on it so its all cool peace out ppl good luck with downgrading and enjoy the homebrew scene on 3.03 SE C and iso`s etc and psx games.

[shrimpidy]

This is my happiest moment with the psp scene. I've updated about 4 times giving up hope of a downgrader for a number of firmwares and ended up updating and a couple weeks after each ugrade, a downgrader is released and I say, "DAMN IT!" But now, I kept faith in the scene when I got to 3.00 and now am able to downgrade. I can't believe this. Thank you very much for the downgrader, many people will benifit from this, especially me, and I thank you yetr again for this glorioud moment.

[Sharkey]

@aTomIC , To get it to work I had to copy the save and HEN files from the ms_root folder from the zip I downloaded to the psp folder on my stick. Just putting the ms_root folder on my psp did nothing, my psp didn't recognise it at all. After I manually copied it over it worked fine though.

Can anyone tell me how to get the NetConfBackup to work though? Ok, if I don't do this can I still safely install 3.03 OE? The psp says it is at 1.50 now.

[baracki96]

Tried this on my neighbor's brothers' psp and it worked 100%. This was really easy to do when compared to some of the flash0 editing I did on my psp, a really great downgrader.

[mexicansnake]

YAY Ill have a 3.03OE-C blue psp soon!!!!:D.

[adrian rod ortiz]

i think ill wait a little to downgrade see whats up i have a 3.03oe-c and my bro has a 3.03 ill wait a week or so then ill do it see if the do somthing betterto get rid of all the old 3.03 stuff but its ok for you hyper noobz

[gunntims0103]

I have just downgraded my friends 3.03 psp

SUCCESS :thumbup:

thanks the psp is now at 1.5!

[carlitx]

Hhahahahaha Suck It Sony!!!!

[Poor-Kingz]

Can anyone tell me how to get the NetConfBackup to work though? Ok, if I don't do this can I still safely install 3.03 OE? The psp says it is at 1.50 now.

NetConfBackup just restores your network settings for internet access. make a new network connection for your router.

[Sharkey]

Ok cool, I never hook it up to the 'net so I guess I don't need it, I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks for the response. :)

3.03 oe here I come, again.

[pt9087]

I see alot of sucsec so i will be doing my mums friends psp, brothers psp, brothers friends psp and my sisters BFs psp tomoro. lol

[eugenemcardle]

went down to 1.5 no probs, then up to 3.03OE-C, also no probs.
How? Simple....followed the instuctions in the readme(s) no probs

[aTomIC]

finally, it worked on my psp. my battery wasn't 100% and it works only with 100% :). Now, my psp's firmware ist 3.03 OE-C :)

[Jpdeathblade]

Ok guys i downgraded my bros psp, now its 3.03 oe c. And bc i had the files my psp is now 3.03 oe c as well

[blinkmancurt]

i'm encountering a problem in the downgrading process...i just got my psp to 3.03 HEN, but now I don't know what to do. I have the earlier motherboard, and apparently I'm supposed to run the 1.50 upgrade, but i can't find it in games on my psp. i have it set to psp\game\update.pbp, but the psp thinks it's corrupted data.

also, i was thinking that it should be eboot.pbp, but i'm not positive.

any help?

[Sharkey]

No it has to be named "UPDATE", don't overwrite the eboot file that is already in there.. Maybe the update is corrupted, download it at psp hacks again. You need a link? Also copy the save files and the HEN folder from the ms_root from the download zip to your psps folders. It may recognise it that way.

In a few minutes I'll have 2 psps at 3.03 0ec. :)

[Gene]

I really hope this doesn't result in people pirating more games...

I once downloaded a game that i didn't own. but i felt bad and got rid of it really fast.

the next day i went out and bought the game because i felt so bad, which is still no excuse.

i really hope people realize that by downloading pirated games they are killing the psp.

[adrian rod ortiz]

dude i want a gta copy now urrrg

[wolfrainxd]

2.82 -> 3.03 -> 1.50 -> 3.03 oe-c SUCCESS!

[blinkmancurt]

No it has to be named "UPDATE", don't overwrite the eboot file that is already in there.. Maybe the update is corrupted, download it at psp hacks again. You need a link? Also copy the save files and the HEN folder from the ms_root from the download zip to your psps folders. It may recognise it that way.

In a few minutes I'll have 2 psps at 3.03 0ec. :)

there is no file named eboot.pbp now...all that is in the update folder is:
update.pbp
decryptprx.prx
extprxs.pbp
libpsardumper.prx
ta082driver.prx

[wolfrainxd]

there is no file named eboot.pbp now...all that is in the update folder is:
update.pbp
decryptprx.prx
extprxs.pbp
libpsardumper.prx
ta082driver.prx

re-download the file. it seems like you have renamed the eboot.pbp to update.pbp. don't do that! download the firmware 1.50 eboot update file and rename it to update.pbp now u have it

[ZeakStarwind]

Hot dang, finally my patience have paid off. Now I just have to wait for my paycheck and get the UMD and I'll be homebrewing in no time. Thanks PSP Homebrew Team and Noobz. =D

[gunntims0103]

Hot dang, finally my patience have paid off. Now I just have to wait for my paycheck and get the UMD and I'll be homebrewing in no time. Thanks PSP Homebrew Team and Noobz. =D

Make sure to get a unpatched version of gta:lcs or else the downgrader will not work!

[ZeakStarwind]

Make sure to get a unpatched version of gta:lcs or else the downgrader will not work!

Will do that for sure. Just read it saying it needs to have an update showing 2.00, if not, it's the later version. Will check up EB games and Software Etc. if they have them used ones and test them. Thanks again. *cheers*

[Elven6]

This questions kinda out their but:

If you did some save editing, would it be possible to do the same thing on a game like Twisted Metal?

[blinkmancurt]

alright, after slight confusion, i got my problems all worked out..thanks to you two that helped me out...this thing works like a charm.

Dark_AleX is my hero.

[medagh]

I was wondering they mentioned that parts of 3.03 is left in your PSP. If you downgrade from 1.5 to 1.0 then upgrade to 1.5 again will that clear that stuff out of it?

[pkmaximum]

Incredible absoluteley incredible. I have been a happy custom firmware user for quite sometime now but still this is terrific. Every PSP in the world right now has the ability of running firmware. Lets see what SONY is going to do to put up a fight lol. I can see 3.04 or 3.1 in the near future lol.

[blinkmancurt]

one last question...

because it said that i should not update to 3.03 again, should I not update to D_A's custom FW OE-C? Does that have any impact on it at all.

[Yobumtin]

Downgrade perfect. :] Two homebrew psps. Thats pure excitement. I'm upgrading to 3.03OEC now. :] Wow I'm lucky I was given that glitchy gta copy. I can't play it but I can load up saves. Ugh this is greaat. Good job noobz and DAX. :]

[Jpdeathblade]

lol i feel sorry for you guys that have to help out the noobs =P I really wish that people would take the time to read the readme files and posts...

[Elven6]

Well I am one of those people who gave away their copys of GTA :(

[blinkmancurt]

hey jp,

i hope you're not targetting me as a "noob". i did everything the way i was supposed to except for one very small mistake that had i taken the time to look over very carefully i would have noticed even if i didn't post on this board.

it happens; big deal.

[Sharkey]

...and to answer your question. Yes, it's fine to update to the OE edition, just not Sonys. ;)

I never mind helping out, I need it half the time myself.

[Jpdeathblade]

Blink it wasnt tword you you did everything fine and overlooked something. Im tlaking about those people who post " How do i do this" when this hs been explained 50 times in the thread and is answered in the first post and readme. But instead of reading they just go and ask questions. the difference is that you read it and tryed it so i didnt target you =P
sorry for confusion

[siulmagic]

this is friking amzing omg jesus crist

[techgt]

this is great news , can't believe it was just a few days the hello world was able to run on 3.0+ firmware ...

[Elven6]

Yea, hopefully I can find a copy of GTA by then, for those who downgraded:

Do those left over icons work? And for those who decide to stay at 1.5 will the newer update (mentioned in the readme) help those people?

[F9zDark]

This is truly amazing. I remember 3 months ago I told my friend, who is interested in PSP homebrew, that he had better look around on eBay for a downgradable PSP, because he might not find one in the stores...

And just yesterday I told another friend, who owns a PSP about homebrew and he wants to downgrade, but wasn't sure of his firmware. He didn't have it with it him so I couldn't help him, but its funny how the next day, we get a 3.03 downgrader.

Now it doesn't even matter what firmware he has :p.

Who woulda thought back in March of 05 that within nearly 2 years we'd have completetly and utterly bested Sony at every corner.

Today is a good day to be a proud member of the PSP homebrew scene.

[V3N0M]

Amazing! Looks like i'm going to get another psp!

[Splid]

Best news i've heard on the PSP scene ever since i updated my only PSP and could no longer use the original GTA Exploit. :thumbup:

[acn010]

thats cool and there is no updates recently lol

[Justise]

There is no UPDATE folder in j:\PSP\GAME....

All i found was two folders whith strange names.
First is named UCES00206 and it contains one data.trm and one EBOOT.PBP.
Second is named UCES00304 and it contains one EBOOT.PBP.

[Justise]

Anyone?

Edit:
Done IT!
backup all of my PSP saves and files.
Leave inside only the files from ms_root.
Run the downgrade!
I could not save my settings but it is not a big deal...

[drEDN4wt]

IF YOU CANNOT READ, DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS.
If you can read, stop asking questions that are answered in the original post.

[direct989]

[vroksjab]

[erix2006]

Whats the risk of downgrading? And has any1 had a brick ?

[pt9087]

Whats the risk of downgrading? And has any1 had a brick ?

There is always a chance of bricking a psp when you are flashing it. So far i dont think there has been one psp bricked

[KuLeD00d]

Pre-owned people rule. Managed to get a unpatched UMD for a measly £15 ! ( Approx $30 )

Downgrader is seamless to do, alot easier then other versions! Great job guys! :thumbup:

My friend's now happy with his OE-C psp :)

[guardiansnowman]

i havent herad of brick yet either... i have 3.03 oe-c but my little bro has 3.03 and so does my friend but i havgent got my GTA any more >_< im going to have a look aroung to find one i can buy.............. just to let ppl no im no noob.....i can read the readme...

[Veskgar]

lol i feel sorry for you guys that have to help out the noobs =P I really wish that people would take the time to read the readme files and posts...

Yes, people new to the scene will have to do a LOT of homework. People just looking for a shortcut don't deserve the help. But people who genuinely need help should get it. Its a really great thing to see that the scene is likely going to expand now. Believe it or not, most people don't yet know about PSP homebrew or know very little and would never try bothering with it.

People more than anything are looking for reassurances from other people. You can read as much as you want but its nice to ask the questions you have to be 200% sure of what you are getting into.

Also, most people with PSP's 2.81 and higher most likely just got their PSP's recently and are TOTAL newbies.

I bought another PSP 2 days ago and the guy at the register seemed to have no idea about PSP homebrew. But he was definitely interested once I explained what you could do with a PSP.

PSP homebrew is the sort of thing that if people knew about it, they would jump in and use it. Not too many people know about it. I'm going to personally make it a mission to spread the word to as many people as I can.

Thanks again to the Noobz team and Dark_AleX & team.

[kjetil1991]

dont need it anymore thanks to lumines i have 3.40 oe=)

[pt9087]

Hopefully soon there will be another way to get in...e.g TIFF. try ebay or any other online store

[Justise]

is there a way doing this whit out gta? im not 18 so its not easy getting it =(

You can always borow one:D . I'll give my GTA to as many people as I can... in greece!

[scarph]

i have it, id send it out to someone for a price..not anything expensive

i bought it for 40 though...

[tophead420]

hmm I need to get in touch with my buddy to see if he wants me to downgrade his psp. I hope he does I'd like to try this out, and if he dont want to downgrade theres always the hen option hows that work on 3.03?

[aTomIC]

Hi,
i got the same problem. Be sure, your battery power is 100%. I've tried it on my psp with the battery status on 80% and it won't work. So, power up your accu/battery and downgrade :)

[.:}<3\/!}\{:.]

THIS IS A DAY ALL PSP USERS MUST REMEMBER!!!! wooottt!!!!!!!

[scarph]

i mean it really is, now theres absolutely no excuse for people not to use homebrew.

its so revolutionary. in the olden days you were only playing good homebrew with 1.5, and really slow loading bad hombrew at 2.5-2.6.


but look at now, you can play any homebrew and use a perfect cf at sonys latest and greatest.

time for sony to put out their homebrew firmware (even though i wouldnt use it cus they wouldnt allow kernel access or illegal game use) :)

[cirus5555]

this is great news

[tophead420]

I was wondering is this downgrader is similar to the 2.6 downgrader.

[Jpdeathblade]

Here this is what I did to mine:
1) I got the download from the actual noobs site not here
2) Place everything on your psp, you better off using a fresh formated 32 but i used an unfress 1gb with 400mb left
3) With the HEN folder in PSP, all three save files in your SAVEDATA folder and the UPDATE folder in GAMES witht he 1.5 eboot renamed to UPDATE
4) Load Grand Theft Auto: LIBERTY City Stories, It has to be an early version (with a 2.0 update on it). If you bought it yesterday fat chance, but if you got it near release date you should be good.
5) Load GTA and the screen will flash blue and turn off, if not try again. When I did this I had less then 75% battery =P, I would wait till 75% and plug it into the wall.
6) Turn on the psp and check the system softwear. It should say 3.03 HEN. If it does go to step 7 if not go back to 5
7) OK now enter your memory stick as if you going to run homebrew and scroll down to find Update X.yz or something like that (red icon) and run it.
8) Your now 1.5! Now you can stay 1.5 or upgrade to 3.03 oe C.

[luis_05]

And with this release, alot more PSP noobs are released into the wild...

I better get back onto IRC fast...

lmao!!!! that was funny

[timm5192]

your a god

[Veskgar]

is there a way doing this whit out gta? im not 18 so its not easy getting it =(

It was easy for me. After last nights release, I woke up this morning knowing I had only one chance (slim chance I know) to head to GameStop and see if I got lucky.

I brought my PSP into the store and asked the GameStop employee to let me check the UMD before buying. They had only 1 used copy of GTA: LCS and guess what?

When I popped it in..... 2.00 UPDATE BABY!

How freakin lucky! I'm in the good ol' United States so if anyone in the U.S. needs a copy bad, head over to your local GameStop... FAST! They will be gone in a day or 2 and are already getting "scalped" on eBay, lol.

Best of all, GameStop only wanted $18.00 for it. So considering I got lucky and saved $$$, I plan on donating some more to www.noobz.eu. For once I actually am happy with GameStop.

[erix2006]

Thats it boyzz! 3.03 succesfully downgraded. The problem with game loading and then 5 sec black screen and then restart is: you need to plug ur AC cable in! :)

[fistikuffs]

Excellent work noobz!!! Practically every psp in existence is now downgradable that's a great achievement. Now everyone can enjoy Dax's excellent OE custom firmware. Rejoice everybody!!!!:D :D :D

Whoever upgrades to sonys next firmware gets what they deserve!

Btw anyone in ireland need a loan of the unpatched gta umd? I'd have to get it back tho! pm me if you need it

[erix2006]

Can i delete everything after i downgraded?

[cal360]

i've just been to town looking for LCS and I went to 6 shops before I found the old version (downgrading some friends PSP's)

[pt9087]

Another sucsesfull downgrade here.

[Narmi]

Hello all :)

I believe I have downgraded my psp successfully... It says version 1.5 in the settings but I had an error saying "the settings are corrupt" (step 16), and when I try to run "NetConfigBackup" (step 17) I get an error and it doesn't run successfully.

I was just wondering if anyone can help a newbie out?

In the troubleshooting section it says "try adding a temporary network config, then deleting it and run the netconf backup again." I don't really understand what this means, rather then guessing and breaking my psp I'll just cool down and see if anyone else has had the same problem or can explain to me how to solve it. Thanks all :P

Another thing anyone in the Durham Region / Greater Toronto Area in Canada that needs a copy of GTA:LCS to complete the downgrade my msn is [email protected] and if you want to come to me I'll be more then glad to let you use it.

[funy56]

Hi Anyone can help me with the Homebrew Enabler for 3.03 FINAL.

In the instruction it said
Copy all contents inside MS_ROOT to the root of your memory stick and run the GTA UMD.

So does it mean copy all the files which you downloaded into your memory stick like PSP/ or files from your memory stick
Do I need a eloader to run my homebrew?

Pls assist me, I'm a newbie.

Thnks guys!

This is how I got HEN to work on my psp before I started my downgrade. I copied all my files to my computer and reformated my memory stick. Then I opened the zip file, and opened the MS_root folder inside the file. Now theres a folder called psp. I copied that to my my PSP. Then I opened GTA:LCS in my psp. Before I knew it, HEN was operating.

TIP: make sure you have the right version of GTA:LCS if you want HEN to work. Hope I helped you, Newbies helping newbies FTW!

[Splid]

Ok, i tested it on my own PSP earlier, and it worked a treat.

Told my next door neighbour about it and he asked me to downgrade his 2 PSP's, one white and one pink (TA-082). Success on both of them although i thout i'd bricked the pink one at one point.

Thanks so much Noobz

[chris70509]

If your looking for a copy of lcs, i checked my local eb games for used copies,they let me run the game to make sure it was unpatched. You also could try blockbuster or another rental place that rents psp games, if you don't want to buy one.

[Shrygue]

I tested this downgrader on my PSP and it worked brilliantly. In fact, I downgraded 2 PSPs at work today and were both up and running with custom firmware 3.03 OE-C.

[Thomly]

damn, i'm so happy that there is an exploit... Now i can finally downgrade. I'm trying this tomorrow, after i borrowed someone's GTA :D

[Shrygue]

Make sure it is unpatched; those ones will have the version 2.00 update on the disk. The patched one will have the 2.60 update data.

[flyer]

Question do you need to install hen to use the downgrader

[SpooForBrains]

Anyone in the area of Birmingham UK, I'm more than willing to help out with a downgrade, unpatched GTA at the ready. Just drop me a PM.

[SpooForBrains]

Question do you need to install hen to use the downgrader

Yes

[Shrygue]

Question do you need to install hen to use the downgrader

If you download this downgrader it will already have the 3.03 HEN in the package.

[flyer]

Ok thx im gonna downgrade t 6:40 or 7:00 if someone that downgraded help me and how to install 3.03 oe c thx email [email protected]

[Thomly]

yeah, yeah, the GTA of a friend of mine is unpatched, someone else already downgraded his 2.60 with it. But hey, thanks for the help

[gunntims0103]

Ok thx im gonna downgrade t 6:40 or 7:00 if someone that downgraded help me and how to install 3.03 oe c thx email [email protected]

Just follow the read me. Thats all the help you need....

[Thomly]

It was a rainy day when 3.03 arrived, now the sun is shining :P This is such a great day for the psp-scene, i love you all, DAX, Fanjita, all the guys who's name i don't know ;) and of course whole the DCemu-crew

[Narmi]

Another successful downgrade thanks everyone!

so what do I do now? lol

[Shrygue]

You should update to the custom firmware 3.03 OE-C. You'll be able to play all the latest games plus homebrew in one special version.

[thmrlm]

does any one know if noobz is currently working on a non-GTA exploit? (cause i just sent my brick in to get a new mobo and they sent it back with the same mobo but vr 3.03)

[medagh]

Just to let everyone know, I went to Game Xchange today and they had 3 copies of the game. I told them that I was going to bring my PSP in to test if any of them are the right version they said that's fine. So I go in and they hand me the games and say take your time. Being a nice guy I had already decided I was going to buy it anyway to help some other people downgrade. But out of the 3 games, 2 of them had the 2.00 firmware on it. So if you guys are looking for the game make sure you check your Game Xchange first.

Also no one replied to my question about the 3.03 code left after the downgrade. I was wondering if you could do the 1.5 - 1.0 then upgrade to 1.5 to get rid of the code. I guess if that worked then they probably would have told everyone but does anyone know?

[Shrygue]

What I did after downgrading from 3.03 to 1.50, I used PSPset 0.9 to fake the firmware version and display 1.00. Then, I ran the official 1.50 update to perform a clean install of that. Afterwards, I went up to custom firmware 3.03 OE-C. It work out all good.

I don't know about the icons you've mentioned (mabye I didn't notice) but at least it cleaned up flash0 for me.

[soad825]

um i deleted MS_Root What do i do?? i am no noob(any more)


I have not read the readme don't matter really i'v read every post on here im about to read the read me "YaY i c an Reed!!!!

ok, I Downloaded the downgrader it comes with MS_Root I got confused because i had a MS_Root when i got a reallly old downgrader back in the day when i was a noob.

[Shrygue]

What, you deleted the MS_ROOT folder in the downgrader package? If that's the case, fish it out of the recycle bin or if it's not there, just download it again.

[Gene]

just download it again, and retry

[pt9087]

Ok im gonna try my brothers TA-82 now. i will post if any success.

[DeathStar]

Download is corrupt when i try downloading the downgrader.

Also is there anyway to do this with out that GTA game?

Edit: was corrupt with IE, downloaded fine with opera.

[blackrave]

Try snatching it from another place, DeathStar, and see if that helps.

And no, there is no way to downgrade nor use HEN without the original GTA: LCS game. Not currently, anyway ...

[pt9087]

PSP downgraded now my brother has CF. TA-82 aswell hehe

[adrian rod ortiz]

im going to buy a used game at gamestop of gta lcs how do you know if it is patched or not

[watupgroupie]

Hello I'm a regular homebrew user so no noob here but my brother updated his psp and that's the one i use for homebrew and was gonna downgrade it. Only thing is i lended my 2gb mem. stick to my friend for a bit so does this work with the normal 32mb stick?

[flyer]

Question im about to downgrade and in the instructions it says 7 - Unzip the 1.50 update to a temporary folder. Rename the EBOOT.PBP to
UPDATE.PBP and copy it to <pspdrive>:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/ . DO NOT
OVERWRITE PSP/GAME/UPDATE/EBOOT.PBP!

[blackrave]

What is your question, flyer? I think those instructions are clear enough ..?

[flyer]

ok i just figured it out LOL

[DeathStar]

We need another way to downgrade lol.
Maybe somone can do something with,
WWE: Raw vs. Smackdown 2006 update = 2.50
And if I have read some places right 2.50 was downgrade able aswell?

[blackrave]

Hello I'm a regular homebrew user so no noob here but my brother updated his psp and that's the one i use for homebrew and was gonna downgrade it. Only thing is i lended my 2gb mem. stick to my friend for a bit so does this work with the normal 32mb stick?

Why wouldn't it? A 32 MB stick should be respected with the same dignity as a 2 GB stick, don't you think? Just kidding, but I'm pretty sure it will work.

And you added me on MSN, but you're not online ..?

[flyer]

Yo question i just installed hen now i go to update xyz and i dont start gta

Forget it im a proud 1.50 user

[tael]

I have to say, this is one of the best things the homebrew scene has ever seen ever! I love this; one question, when do you think that the flash cleaner will be released to remove the risidual 3.03 flash files?

[psp411]

[scottyboynow]

[PSPCulture]

Your question:


will this work on VCS???

The very first post in this thread, if you could be bothered to read:



* You need a copy of the unpatched GTA:Liberty City Stories UMD. No ISOs, no patched UMDs, not Vice City Stories.

Does anybody actually read the details of the thread before asking questions these days?

:rolleyes:

[BoniBoy14]

hey guys...this thing actually works...i had a 3.03 TA-082 psp and i followed simple directions. IT WORKS 100%....but dont forget to get the original GTA: LCS or else it wont work...if u have the patched version, itll just load up like u had data on your formatted memory stick lolol.....PEACE 2 DARK ALEX AND HIZ SQUAD!!!!

YES it worked!!!! Me and my friend had both 2.81. We downgraded together. My hands were shaking i was so scared... After he put in gpsp and he played and he got a blue screen saying ''We regret to inform you but your psp has crashed!'' He restarted and it worked fine.

The bottom line is they can't keep up with the likes of DA & Booster.....and we are ALL forever in their debt. I can't believe there is a downgrader for 3.03 already.

[SSaxdude]

I wish I went on my computer yesterday to find out about this. Oh well, cheers to Fanjita and Ditlew and everybody with firmware 3.03!

Where can I download the UPgrade to 3.03??? i need to update so i can downdate.

[Shrygue]

trialser, the official 3.03 updater can be found right here (http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/958).

[Apoklepz]

Here's an idea for people having trouble finding an unpatched copy of the GTA:LCS UMD. Go rent it at Blockbuster Video ;)

Hey i DLed that update but all it is is an Eboot. I have 2.81 so what do i do to update? thanks

[Shrygue]

The EBOOT.PBP file is the updater. What you need to do is create a folder on your memory stick in ms0:\PSP\GAME\ called UPDATE (ms0 is the root of it) on your memory stick and put the file there. Then on your PSP look in memory stick under game and the updater should be there.

Downgraded worked then also upgrading to 3.03 OE-C worked as well. HELLO PS1 GAMES!!!

[pibs]

worked great!

[wolfpack]

downgraded from 3.03 safely, i now declare this downgrader safe, now i just gotta wait for the cleanup program theyre gonna make just in case...

[Jpdeathblade]

if you downgrade to 1.5 then upgrade to 3.03 oe-c then you wouldnt need the clean up program =P

You know whats funny, i could be on this site all day and nothing will happen, but the moment I stay off for 48 hours bam, downgrader =P

[jeegee]

Awesome job! Works 100% 3.03-oec here i come lol . Just as side note, UK users can pick up pre-owned GTA:LCS at Game for 12 quid. Seventeen at gamestation!!!!!!!!!
Again many thanks to Fanjita, Dark Alex and Noobz for providing this ridiculously easy to use Dgrader :)

[guardiansnowman]

im at collage at the moment...hehe im not supposed to be on the site...but anyway, im of to buy GTA in 2 hours!!! game and gamestation (possibly CHIPS, or games and movies if the others dnt have them) i live in edinburgh...its so cold :D

[dugsyu]

Nearly the same question from my side, i have lcs with #2 number (i understood not ok) but in my psp i see the firmware 2.0 proposal ? Is it a good version or not ????

What do i risk to use such version to upgrade to 3.03 ?

Thanks

Phil

QUOTE=Speediakal;342589]omfg, awesome.


do i need the unpatched version of GTA:LCS? I have the one with the 2.60 update, that won't work will it?


and how many people have bricked? and how many have succeded?[/QUOTE]

I have a 2.81 psp and a gta lcs with a 2.0 version but the umd shows 51#2....!!!!! Is it ok or not ?

Many thanks

[Shrygue]

Please don't double post. Anyway, I'm not sure; the only way to tell is to upgrade to 3.03 and attempt to get the homebrew enabler (HEN) started though GTA:LCS. If it works, all well and good. If it does not, then you're out of luck.

By the way, patched versions were released from June 2006 and if you happened to buy it from after that time there's a chance it's those fixed ones.

[trialser]

I think i bricked my psp. I upgraded to 3.03 then down to 1.5 then up to 3.03 oe c and it worked good until i accidently let gta load and now when i turned it on it just goes black and wont do anything. any ideas???

Ok i figuered out holding down R while turning it on goes to recovery mode, but what do i do from there????
