I noticed you mentioned nothing about installing HENC.

When installing the Henc thing, the screen is just blue and it either
A) Restarts
or
B) Shuts off

U can't downgrade a ta-082 mobo. Downgrading wil result in a brick so I suggest you don't try it.

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

Where do I stop if I have a TA-082? And what can't I do with 2,5 that I can do with 1.5?

I have also seen games that I can download from torrent sites that have 2.71 firmware....do I still need to downgrade?

You possibly have renamed the actual downgrader program by mistake, which is most likely the cause of the problem. You only rename the offical update package of whichever firmware you want to go to. If that is the case, just rename the downgrade program back to EBOOT.PBP. By the way, it's about 63kb, the downgrade package between 13-15MB (depending on what firmware version you wish to go back to).

Magicmush, do not discuss ISOs on these forums as it is against the rules. You will be highly likely to get banned and I am sure you don't want that.

I'm sorry if this question has been up before, but I've followed the instructions from 'chiefy' and everything worked until I was going to downgrade. It said "The game could not be started (80020148)".

I've got full batterytime, and I've tested to install it with and without the cable. But I can't get it working.

I saw that chiefy answered a question like that but I didn't get the answer I wanted. He did just say that this guy(who asked the question) didn't mention that he installed the HENC-file. But I have done that already. So, what's the problem?

<-Newbie. :(

i tried this with HEN D and it freezes at:

Extracting special prx's from pbp...

however, it doesnt shut off. the screen brightness button doesnt respond, which 95% of the time indicates it crashed

hi im new
Well anyway i would appreciate some help;

Ive downloaded the 'PSP Update ver X.YZ' and have it in my GAME folder.

Ive downloaded HEN-C but it doesnt come with the files binary and the other one.Just a file called Hen-C and thats all.

When i access the folder (that i made) nothings in it either.

I would also find it helpful is someone could find me a Eu 2.50/60 update to use.I have a non-TA-082 psp but best to be on the safe side eh?

Guyst it's urgent! I have 2.71 se-b. I can run GTA VCS (cso) with no problems. I created two GAME folders: GAME, and GAME271. I am Trying to install iFlasher or dark_alex's 3.01 . I keep on getting the same messgae after i load the programs: 80020148
I Could use iFlasher before, and i still have the same firmware. All I did was that i Changed the .prx file, so that its installs the NEWEST Cheatdevice. If the iFlasher wudnt work i would understand that. Put when my psp is charging, and im trying to update to Dark_Alex 3.01, it tells me to fuk off.
I could install 2.71 se-b easily. I know that this error code means that my firmware is too new, but its running on 1.50 kernel if i put in GAME folder, right?? So please help me if u can! Thanks
