Ok i was formally 2.6 user but succesfully downgraded using this. Thanks be to DA!!
ANyway now I wanna start using devhook but dont know where to begin. I only own one game that i played alot befor downgrading but it requires a higher firmware. Please somebody help me.
Not too difficult chiefy,
You need eloader, HenC, a 1.5 firmware dump and devhook below .46 as it has problems emulating 1.5
At least in theory it's not too difficult, I'm about to try this today.I have a friend with a ta-082 I'm trying to help enjoy homebrew.
EDIT: Are you using a 1.5?
BTW that's one big spliff you have there buddy,whew!
yes i just went down to 1.5 now using the hen c and generic downgrader. SO im permanant 1.5 :)
Awesome!!!!
Well just find yourself a copy of devhook(I use .46)and a 2.71 firmware dump, follow the readme and you should be good as gold :)
Does HEN work with 2.50 or just 2.71?
I've got the same problem as Jmanultra.
I've gotten HEN_C to work, and I've placed the downgrader in and renamed the 1.5 Updater to UPDATE.PBP, but all it does is reboot. Nothing has changed. :mad:
Any ideas?
The eboot goes in a folder named UPDATE,you keep the actual eboot named eboot.pbp.
That brings up a conflict.
The ms0:/PSP/Games/UPDATE already contains an eboot.pbp (the downgrader), so that would necessitate deleting the downgrader to put on the updater.
Unless I missed something (which I probably did :P)
Hmm,I'll go back and check the readme.As far as I know all updates are run like that.
As always I could be wrong though.
To farther assist, can anyone who sucessfully downgraded post exactly what they did?

Sure you make a folder within Games called "UPDATE" but you cant just shove the eboot.pbp in that folder because when everything is ready to go for the final step of downgrading and you're placing the 1.5 update in there you'll notice there's already a file in that folder called eboot.pbp...... so you name the "UPDATE" before you place it into the UPDATE folder.
at least thats how I did it.
Oh ok,so what do you name the eboot?
Maybe these guys aren't using caps or something.
I haven't actually done this myself since I have a 1.5.
Sorry bout the mistake :)
Chiefy, you're saying that within the UPDATE folder you have the downgrader as EBOOT.PBP and the update as UPDATE.PBP (with all of the other things) and it ran fine?

1. RESEARCH and READ!!! Everything that goes for the Readme.txt that comes with every .zip or .rar you are about to install. Read forums and posts like you obviously are :)
still with me?????
2. Know your board...
here's a picture of what you look for
http://z.about.com/d/psp/1/0/9/1/-/-/pspboardphoto.jpg
Blue good :) Red bad :(
If you have the code on the left like the picture then you dont have the Ta-082 look closely.
So if you dont have the bad board then you're free to downgrade as long as you aren't past firmware 2.71 at this point. I was 2.6 when I started and updated today to 2.71.
If you do have the Ta-082 (aka Bad board) then the furthest back you can go is 2.5. Any further back will brick your psp 100%. Also you must be no higher than 2.71 firmware when you begin.
3. Ok so you have the good board and you want to downgrade from 2.71 . Im assuming you already upgraded to 2.71 from whatever you had before starting. I was 2.6 myself when I started.
Grab the firmware eboot.pbp that is legal and offered on QJ.net here is 1.5 ok extract the folder to your desktop for use later on.
Ok lets grab Hen C now that we're 2.71 :)
CLICK AND DOWNLOAD
Unpack the file and place the folder on your desktop like you did with the first one.
Now for the actual Downdater file
Wraggster has it attached to the first post in this topic. HERE Unpack the file and place the folder on your desktop.
You should have 3 folders on your desktop at this point...Eboot_1.5, hen_c, and Updateflasher.
4. Ok now I suggest having a clean reformatted memory stick. Also make sure your unit is at 100% battery..First step is to Open the "hen c" folder on your desktop and find the "MS_ROOT" folder, this is the only folder within the "hen_c" folder we are going to use. Open "MS_ROOT" and highlight all the files in there. Copy those to the root of your memory stick. When it say overwrite click yes to all and move on.
Ok after hen c was on my stick I disconnected froom my PC and went to the photo viewer on my psp. There'll be a file "HENC"....take a deep breath and keep your eyes on the psp screen.
The first time you run the program, you will see a blue screen, and then a screen that can be either two colors:
* Red: the files couldn't be written to the flash (it can happen a few times). Just keep trying.
* Green: The files were written succesfully. After that, the unit will be reboot.
The patch (HENC) will remain resident in memory, and even sleep mode won't delete it. Only a hard reset will remove the program from memory.
When you do a hard reset, you'll have to run the tiff (HENC) again from the photo viewer. This time there won't be a green or red screen, just a blue screen and then a reboot, since this time there is no need to write to the flash.
5. Ok now once that works make sure HENC is going for this step.
Open the "updateflasher" folder on your desktop and once again within this folder you'll see a "MS_ROOT" folder. Open it and copy the "PSP" folder to your memory stick. Click yes to overwrite.
6. Now GO to your memory stick and open your "PSP" folder then "GAME" and finaly "UPDATE"
GO into the "EBOOT_1.5" folder on your desktop and rename the EBOOT.pbp to UPDATE.pbp. Now place it inside the "UPDATE" folder you opened on your memory stick.
7. We're ready now this is the part where I crossed my fingers. We have HENC active and everything in place...Disconnect unit from PC and make sure battery is 100% again. Ok lets downgrade!!!
Go to the controller icon on your psp (game) and then down to the memory stick. Hit X and find the eboot. It was labeled x.yz or something like that when I clicked it. Anyway thats the update...er downgrade
watch the screen untill it finishes and reboots.
If all goes well...and it should. It did for me and Im retarded :)
Welcome to 1.5 :)
I'd erase your mem stick now tho
Ok. First off, let me make it clear my my PSP is a TA-079. 1.52 -> 2.0 -> 1.50 -> 2.71 -> 1.50.Quote:

2. Install Hen C to your PSP's Memory Stick as instructed in the ReadMe file. It should be yourpsp:\PSP\PHOTO\HENC. Files in there should be "rand" and "loadbinary". There should also be some Data files in the root of your memory stick.
3. Install Updater to your PSP's Memory Stick as instructed in the ReadMe file. It should be yourpsp:\PSP\GAME\UPDATE. Files in there should be the EBOOT.PBP that came with updater and a few data files.
4 Download a FW 1.50 EBOOT.PBP file (Or whatever firmware you wish to use) and RENAME it to UPDATE.PBP, and then place it in the UPDATE folder.
5. Your Directory structure should be like this:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...u/untitled.png
6. Run Hen C. Do so by going to 'Photo' in the PSP menu and selecting the 'HENC' group. Your PSP should halt, then flash a blue screen, followed by a green screen and a reboot. If you get a red screen, pull your battery and try again till you get a green one.
7. CONNECT YOUR PSP TO AC POWER!! If for some reason your PSP has a power failure during the flashing process, you may end up with an expensive, slick black paperweight.
8. Run the Updater. It will appear in 'Game' as "PSP™ Update ver X.YZ" and have a red icon instead of the usual Sony blue. The process should take about a minute or 2.
9. After the flash and update, the PSP will power off. Power it back up to be presented with a blue screen with about 10 languages on it. Press the circle button and the PSP will power off once more.
10. Power the PSP back on and proceed through the setup as if it were a new PSP. Congratulations! You now have a FW 1.50 PSP.
Nicely done guys,great step by step!!
But does this work on a white Japanese PSP?
see my post from above. I think most white ones are TA-082's. Look on the backQuote:

Dark_Alex is about to release a 2.71 custom firmware for non-TA-082 devices called 2.71 SE (SE stands for Special Edition)
The revision A will feature:
- 1.00/1.50 Eboot support (both kernel and user mode)
- 2.71 Eboot support (both kernel and user mode)
- run on 2.71 vsh
- Ability to run devhook (both 1.50 and 2.71 versions are fully compatible)
- Ability to run any 2.71 (and below UMDs)
- 1.00/1.50 prx executable support
- support both kxploited and unpatched eboots for 1.50 kernel
- support any 2.71 homebrews codded for HEN C
- Compatibility is 100% for 2.71 homebrews and approx 99% for 1.00/1.50 homebrews
How does it work ?
Both 1.50 and 2.71 kernel are flashed into flash0
it uses 1.50 kernel to bootstrap patched 2.71 firmware
How to flash it?
You will need to use the helper that will be provided to get a complying dump into a DXAR format, once you get it done properly use the flasher to "update" to the 2.71 SE-A
Pros and cons ? :
Pros : - Full 2.71 homebrew support
- Almost full 1.50 homebrews support (some homebrews like umdemu or xflash might not work properly with it, still so far all of the 1.50 homebrews I tried worked fine)
- Recovery menu
- Full Devhook support
- Access to all 2.71 features
- Native 2.71 UMD support
- 1.50 decrypted prx executable support
- Real no-kxploit embebed (thus 1.00 unpatched eboot support)
- have access to all 2.71 kernel features using 2.71 homebrews, such as GPS support or wpa suppor
spajdr:
No psp ISO discussion.
Omg, DaX wants 2.71 to become exactly 1.5, but better :O
Why not? i cant have image of my original ridge racer UMD disc? :-) i would prefer that instead of putting UMD disc into PSP all the time.Quote:

What you do is your business and there's cetainly nothing wrong with using your own stuff but rules are rules.I'm just trying to keep you from getting a warning.
Where'd you hear this? (Dont get me wrong, I'm not sceptical. I just want to know more :D)Quote:

LOL, I fail at research.
I just bit the bullet and used the Easy 2.71 => 1.5 Full Downgrader. Then went to 2.0 and down'ed back to 1.5 for a clean install.
EDIT: Devhook with 2.71 FTW
ok, i followed every step of how to do the downgrader (i followed both greatly detailed step-by-step guides) but when u click the downgrader from the game menu, my psp doesn't shut down and get a blue screen with 10 different languages as said on that second guide. My psp just reboots after i run the downgrader. Why isn't it shutting down? i've tried re installing everything into their folders about 22 times. Can someone help me? thanks.

In there should be the Eboot to do the downgrade. If its not then you didnt follow the steps correctly.
HENC runs from photo viewer
Downgrader runs from game xmb.
yeah, i got the blue screen from the henc part and then i got the green screen. After the green screen it restarted and then I did that henc thing again...which i think i shouldn't have..then i clicked on the downgrader thing from Xmb and it got the blue screen and restarted without shutting down. So if i did it wrong, how do redo it correctly then?
Ok so your system is flashed then...good. YOu were ok to do henc again. Everytime after a full reboot or after a fresh restart you should run the HENC tiff. THat is if you are going to run homebrew on a 2.71. If you're going to be downgrading from 2.71 to 1.5 then Flash henc to your unit (Blue screen > green screen > reboot) then run HENC again...this time you will only get a blue screen then a soft boot. From here you run the downgrader from the game>memory stick xmb.Quote:

By the way...My psp has been 1.5 since just yesterday afternoon and im already turning off tv's and cableboxes at friends houses making them lose thier minds. "Who done it!?" ROFL
ok i see how this works now. So what you are saying is for me to just keep clicking my 1.5 downgrader icon (which is red) from the game menu until it works?
*Update: i tried it again and then got this black screen with red words in it saying if i wanted to write the psp into flash. I hit "x" and then it restarted...so it worked!! :D well thanks for your help Chiefy!!!
i need help here as well
i downloaded both henc and the downgrader
did what they told me in readme
so i run henc then the blue screen pops up
and everytime, it fully restarts, i dont get non of the softboots
and the downgrade doesnt work after i restart the psp
what am i doing wrong here?
ps
i have no idea what XMB is and where HENB is
so are you saying you now have a 1.5 psp? :) Friggin sweet man. I relove my psp all over again since Dark Alex made this possible.Quote:
