We could have said the same thing about 2.01 when 2.50 was realeased. There probably will be no downgrader for a long time... I also hear that Envision admitted that the downgrader was indeed fake.Quote:

Honestly bricking a PSP is not worth trying to downgrade.
The best options are:
If you have the extended warranty that most game stores offer, return the PSP for a lower firmware version.
Save up some cash and buy a 1.50 or a 2.00 PSP; or even look online for a JP 1.00 PSP.
I own 2 PSPs, 1.00, 1.50. And I have been debating whether or not I should buy another, just to use as the UMD gaming PSP. When PS3 comes out, I am gonna want a PSP to tool around with using the higher firmwares.
And be patient. I learned the hardway, I immediately updated my PSP upon getting it, because I had no clue of the homebrew scene. Sure enough, a few weeks after having updated to 1.51, homebrew came out. The 2.00 downgrader was no where in sight for the new few months.
I returned my PSP for dead pixels and got another under the extended warranty.
If I had the money, I would purchase a used PSP from gamestop that had 2.00 and just update my 2.6 to 2.7. That way I can have a PSP downgraded to 1.5 and a PSP with the latest updates.I can enjoy my favorite UMDs and play any homebrew I wanted at the same time. Sadly I dont have enough money for another PSP.
Why would you want to buy two psp's? There is homebrew that will allow you to load updated UMD's. If I could downgrade my 2.01 or get a hold of a lower version, I would get rid of the other one (for $$$) and just use the 1.5 to load my UMD's. They actually have a firmware loader now, that you can use to temporarily upgrade. A friend of mine has it. He loads it up and voila he's in FW v2.5. Then he resets his psp and there he is back in FW v1.5. It's crazy but really freakin' awesome.
No way do you have any proof of this? if so make a thread about it and email me the app so i can use it. Thats if what you say is true.Quote:

downgrader is pointless now, too outdated if everyone downgraded then say goodbye to psp(in the commercial world) we need a full exploit for new firmware. i have 1.5 at the moment, but i would even consider updating if sony enabled unsigned uuser mode eboots from the XMB, i know they will never enable full kernall access... precious UMDs
JmanUmmKay: MPH has had a firmware loader for ages, you convert an eboot to the file format via the app then the app can load the files, the psp resets and boots up in the new firmware, you cant run umds but you get the sony web browser and movie formats, by the way it only works up to 2.5 as the 2.6 and 2.7 have not been decrypted yet(i think)
First off, none of my friends have PSP, since it doesnt appeal to them, so having a second PSP(even though this isn't the reason why I bought a second PSP) allows me to play multiplayer homebrew with them when they stop by or when I goto their place.Quote:

OK, I have been following the psp scene since "hello world" on psp 1.0, here are some points id like to bring up:
#1 psp 2.0+ no flash access at all. its like closing a door and stuffing the key under the crack at the bottom. so no app will work to downgrade the psp. the only reason that eloader works is because the psp is in
"user mode" which has no means to access flash or kernal.
#2 the virgin 2.5/2.6/etc.. psps have modified hardware preventing them from booting older firmwares and this has been confirmed. newer models are incapable of booting anything below what they were manufactured with. (thank sony) so if an exploit is found there will be ALOT of bricked psp's.
#3 i have partially booted eboots without exploits using pieces of the loco roco demo but they crash instantly. This is nothing new people have done it.
The only way to get homebrew on psp is to get it to work using genuine sony signatures.
#4 If you are so worried about emulators like i once was then get a gp2x i have one and it will run anything and do the same stuff as the psp will. it has great framerate and works for what it was designed to do RUN HOMBREW
#5 there will never be a software downgrader for psp because of "#1" The exploits have been patched and cemented to death so i doubt there will be any developments on it. Although there will be an modchip called "undiluted platinum" which is likely to fail because of "#2" on some consoles. Hardware mods will be the answer.
#6 dont lose precious time googling for a downgrader because this time there will not be one. firmware 2.0 was 99% secure so the newer firmware is like an iron wall with no doors or windows. just play the store games and deal with the fact that youve upgraded and thats the firmware you have.
Lastly, The reason sony released the updates was because of the following things:
-game pirates
-psp bricking (psp's dont grow on trees, when sony replaces one they lose money)
-people who say stuff like "**** sony! we hacked their shit!" (this is just asking for retaliation from them)
-The demand for better features on the console
The situation with the psp sucks and will not get much better for a while. wait for the hardware mods to come.
I hope this brings some clarification.
