Successful downgrade

Hi there, I registered just to post this: reporting 100% success in downgrading UK (PSP-1003) black PSP with factory 2.50 FW. I first upgraded to 2.60 (which is CRUCIAL and not documented enough) then used Easy Downgrader FULL version. Once downgraded, I used the auto installer for DevHook 0.46 and all the ISOs I have are working perfectly without playing around with settings etc..., even recent games such as Loco Roco.

Little things I gathered from different forums:
-You need to upgrade your PSP at least ONCE before using the downgrader. If you have a factory 2.60, I recommend you DO NOT downgrade as the risk of bricking it are too high.
-When updating to 2.60 FW, don't worry about where the FW install files are from (USA, JPN, EUR are all identical)
-Same thing for ISOs.
-Make sure you are sober when downgrading.

Thanks to all involved in making the downgrader, as well as all the good samaritans helping out on the user forums.

2.5 is downgradable, no need to update to 2.6. Also, a factory 2.6 is most likely a TA-82 motherboard, of course the risk of it bricking is high. Just a little info for ya.:)

Fair enough, however I have heard of a few brick reports involving factory 2.50FW. To make sure I would still recommend upgrading to 2.60 first.

make sure you dont have a TA-082 motherboard just in case. to do that, open your umd drive and look at the top right corner where theres a little green. if you see writing there, you have a TA-082, if you dont see writing there, then its ok to downgrade

Is that ZIP file on the first post all I need to downgrade? I don't know anyone that has a 1.5 psp.
August 8th, 2006, 06:48

yeah that and a 1.5 dump just search on google and you should find a dump
August 8th, 2006, 06:50

I'm scared to search google for dumps because what if they are fake or have viruses? What is the approximate size of the 1.5 dump?

alright go here www.psp-hacks.com they have the full downgrade pack in the download section ive used the one from there twice so dont worry about bricking.
have you made sure you dont have TA-082

i downgraded mine without any problems at all.
yesterday i downgraded my friends psp. and we tried to have a WLAN multiplayer game of QUAKE on our PSPs. but for some reason his game crashes when he tries to activate the WLAN and it fails the connecton test, the green light wont even come on. the thing is we dont know if this problem has occured in the downgrading process or not. we played GTA multiplayer a few times before we downgraded. So i dont know what is wrong. Has anyone else had a similar problem? it seems the PSP recognises that the WLAN switch is on, it attempts to connect, just nothing happens. :confused:

try upgrading to 2.0 then downgrading that might fix the problem
August 10th, 2006, 22:01
Physicist

we did that. but then couldnt find a downgrader for 2.0 to 1.5, well i found one eventually. it was a bit more complicated than the easy downgrader. and it actually said that the downgrade failed, but it still works as 1.5.
his WLAN still wont come on. :confused:

Hi, I just wanted to make sure this is a plausable way to downgrade. A friend bought a used PSP with no numbers on the motherboard (no IC) and it had a version 2.00. So I wanted to upgrade his psp to version 2.6 or 2.5, then use this downgrade to get 1.5. Should work, right?
August 12th, 2006, 00:07
Video_freak

yes. it should.
August 12th, 2006, 03:36

Thank you for confirming. Worked like a charm.

I see that the instructions say this downgrade CANNOT be run on a PSP that came with 2.60 pre-installed.

Is there any way to downgrade a PSP that had 2.60 pre-installed?

When you first link up your psp to your pc and you click on the removable disk icon the root is what comes up (it contains all the files on your psp on the first level.

Ok, I'll answer my own question.

I did some research on other forums and it seems that a downgrade of a factory 2.60 will be successful as long as that factory 2.60 does NOT come with a TA-082 motherboard.

Apparently most factory 2.60 PSPs come with a TA-082 motherboard but SOME DONT.

If the factory 2.60 DOES NOT come with a TA-082 motherboard then apparently it will work fine. Other forums are posting successful downgrades using factory 2.60 PSPs that dont have a TA-082.

I do believe that the instructions tell you where to look. (inside the UMD "door") or something along those lines. I didn't use this particular downgrader.

yup but if I was you I would upgrade to 2.0 and downgrade back to 1.5 because there are some bugs when you go straight from 2.6 to 1.5

Currently, its not possible as the GTA UMD is required for the exploit to work.

A new exploit is being worked on so there's still hope!
