Really need help and i am scared

hello guys i just got myself a psp base pack from "GAME" and the box says its a SS259 one with a K on the label.

I wanna downgrade it to 1.5 and upgrade to custom 3.03OE-C firmware, but i am so scared now that i might brick it.

The psp is still in the box and i haven't even opened the package

Just want to make sure that it can be downgrade and can you guys suggest / give me a link on the best method to downgrade it cus i heard there are manual way or using an easy downgrade?

Can som1 help me pls?? i will be w8ing online for an answer

K lettered boxes are likely to contain a PSP with firmware 2.60 with the TA-082 motherboard. You should upgrade to 2.71 and run the TIFF downgrader from there.

It is easy as pie, the chances of bricking is like a metorite blasting the whole of the antartica up, or something like that, I shouldn't worry.

hi guys thx for the quick reply, i had it opened (so no more refunds.. noooo my $$) :P
I got it charging now and i will post again and ask for help once the power indicator turn off
after charging, i do all the on screen instruction for initial set-up, then i can start upgrading? is that right?

I had a look inside the umd drive and found this

does that means it is a TA-082?

That means you have a TA-82.

I wouldn't worry. There is a TA-82 downgrader out now.

Also, what firmware is it?

i am stil charging it, i suppose i shouldn't turn it on until it is fully charged, am i right?

ok battery charged, it has a 2.71 firmware

yea defiently downgrade it. There is little chance of doing so. And if you do then it means u didn't follow a step correctly or put something in the wrong place. but once you get the files u need, the rest is easy. I was afraid too but I downgraded in less than 5 minutes now I'm running 3.03OE-C. So don''t worry about it. Just run the 2.71 Tiff downgrader or if you have an unpatched version of GTA: LCS (the one with the 2.0 update) then update to 3.03 and use the new 3.03 Downgrader. It's really easy, it's what I used. It even has a percentage so you now how far it is through the downgrade process. Let me know if you need any help.

u wont brick, i just did my downgrade and upgrade today

Errr... what are you talking about. If he has TA-081 he should NOT use the 2.71 downgrader. He should use the 2.80 downgrader for ta-082!!!

He could brick if he use the one you say.
