Downgrader Cancelled- News from PSP-Dev Team

[ataribob]

I checked that beta out on my v2.00
It really boots, but I don't have enough brave to start this (I took my battery out after the PSP Boot Animation started)
So.... yeah.... it boots,.... Does anybody know how it goes on in that beta?

a note for English people :

I offer my sources to you so that you can continue the project

Method 1 :
_________________________________________
First step:

you need two memory stick and both file which is in the rar. all what is in
MemoryStick1 goes on the ms1 and all that is in MemoryStick2 goes in the ms2

second step:

method to break the second lock of the update.
it is necessary for you to launch the first eboot on your psp 1.51, 1.52 or 2.0.
you will see white screen and as soon as the white screen passes to the black
press three times power so that the psp is put in hibernation mode, your psp
sleep, take your time and to replace the first memory stick by the memory
number 2. as soon as all and operational, re-press power to leave the
hibernation mode. the psp load update correctly and tell you that update 1.50
is ready to start, exactly the same thing that the 1.00 th psp will block it
is the last checking which there is on update.


Metho
Method 2 :
__________________________________________________ _______

it is a MD5 in eboot.pbp program of update, if you modify any byte of updater it will be launched but under
the PSP OS UPDATER you will have pretty a message that your update is corrupt and cannot be launched,
this MD5 is so large and visible that nobody speaks about it. It is placed at the last line of Eboot below
the psar it is thanks to that which Updater verified that Eboot was never modified. This md5 is not
in the updater of UMD Game a small hard question? . the answer is because Sony knowledge very although
the umd' S are not thus copied they did not add a security for verifier if the psar were modified.
I did not find yet how to calculate this md5 and to find to what it corresponds.
But him only is clée. the last thing for Executable updater umd as the 2.0 they are completely identical
to that which functions since the memory stick but they are signed differently with a
special flag UMD thus for the psp that is impossible to launch it since the memorystick


Cordially,

Yoshihiro

How much money did WAB make off of all the donations?

[xuphorz]

too much probably
be glad if you didn't donate (like me)

The downgrader does nothing?

tested on a 1.52 psp ran the downgrader from wab switched off the psp replaced the stick woth the 1.50 and started the upgrade, but it gives the standard error "a later firmware version is installed no need to update" this is exactly the same error if you actually dont bother with the wab downgrader and just put in the actual 1.50 eboot?

i see no point there what so ever? running the wab tool does nothing? it makes no difference if you run the tool or dont run the tool, the downgrade still gives the same error at the exactly the same place, THE BEGINNING? with the wab tool the update\downgrade wont start, and without the tool ot gives the same error and wont start? so can someone fill me in on what its actual purpose is as it actually does nothing at all, it doesnt even get you 1 step further ahead? i thought it would get half way though and then error and brick my psp (not that i mind or i wouldnt have done it) but it didnt even start... he might as well have said "run the 1.50 update and try and figure out how to get passed the (no need to update)" screen..

i was uttterly dissapointed i thought it would run part 1 on memory stick 1 and then ask for memory stick 2 and run part 2 and either **** my psp or work.. but it didnt... it doesnt even get passed stage 1.. so if it cant get passed stage 1 whats the point in it? it is no better or worse than actually just trying to update from a umd that has 1.5 on the cd...

pointless and dissapointing, if it ****ed my psp i would atleast be happy they did something, bypassed something, anything, but this looks to be usless..

cheers

[Cap'n 1time]

uh.. look before you leap is the only advice that comes to mind

[ataribob]

Glad you tried it.
Pretty brave!

I only have a 1.50.
And at least the Wabchanger works for us

[theelise]

uh.. look before you leap is the only advice that comes to mind

What do you mean by that?

i have read what yoshihiro write and i have follwed his instructions to the letter, now he doesnt say that it actually works, i understand this, however after all the "**** who who dont believe in us" abuse we got from this lot do you not think they look like complete idiots now they have released something that doesnt actually do anything at all, nothing, nada, sweet FA? why would you go to all the trouble of calling people "bitches" and all that nonosense if yuo hadnt even done anything. These videos hosted on there site, the letters to the sites and release dates, and even comments about "bricking psp's" no offence, but this program couldnt brick a brick! it does nothing, nothing at all. i can honestly see no use in this what so ever, your just as well notusing any of the tools provided and just buy a UMD with version 1.50 on it, select upgrade firmware that way... coz that aint gonna work is it... well.. neither does this tool, its harmless, usless, pointless and funny. i thought they had a way to atleast bypass some of the checking, i mean i would be happy (because i would just retun it this afternoon) if my psp was ****ed dueing the process, at least this would prove some development? This doesnt work, feel free to test, it will do your psp no harm, you will have better luck updating\downgrading by trying to do it off the UMD.

Now sorry for the rant but i feel that they are looking like silly little girls right now if they were going around calling people "bitches" and "**** to all who dont belive in wab" all all this embarrasing childish nonsense they were involved in, who is the bitch now? who didnt do what he promised? who actually cant do what he promised? who took money off people to do a job then opened it up to the worl for other people to do because he cant actually do it? who abused people and slagged people off because he was saying he was the best etc etc.. and turns out he ashnt done any of the things he actually claimed he had done?

Personally i dont really care about the downgrader, i own a 1.52 soon to be a 2.00 as i have a 1.50 coming on the post, then the 2.00 is getting so9ld as i have a 2.00 white psp from liksang ordered no idea whan that will arrive but hey.. so ill have a 1.5 black psp from emualtion and a brand new white 2.00 for gaming\show. What does bother me is reading these posts for months now watching wab and popel on here ranting on about how great wab are and how they wont let you down, and reading wabs responses to critisism etc etc.. i have held my toung and made no judgment,.. you can see this because this is only my second post here, however this in no way reflects my time here. i have been visiting here for many many months i just have not jumped on the "they will do it" and the "they wont do it" band wagon.. until now when they have the cheek to relase a usless POS and claim it as a downgrader beta or the v0.9 they were wittering on about.. its an embarrasment and an insult to themselfs. They have embarrased them selfs and will not be taken seriusly again without serious hard work and proof. i bet when they sit on a bus or walk down the street if people recognise the they feel like such stupid little girls. "We can dowgrade, **** all you bitches who dont belive" yeah of ciurse you can WAB, i tested your downgrader you might as well not bothered.

"switched off the psp"


did you put in in hibernation or turn off??

The instructioin said to put it into hibernation not turn off.

3 fast up on the on-off switch puts it to sleep

[theelise]

yes it hibernated, if i switched it off it would not continue its process and would back to the XMB with all settings forgot.

I followed the instructions to the letter, try it yourself it does nothing. I can do no more than state the facts. it does not work.

This is what happens,

load the MS1 into the psp and run the "beta" 1.5x 2.00 downgrader.

press x to launch the thing, the psp logo comes on the screen, if at this point you do nothing you get an error stating the data is corrunt.. if you follow the instructions and flick the poweer switch 3 times the psp goes into hibernation, you switch the sticks and when it comes back on line it goes directly to the screen saying "perform 1.50 upgrade" when you press x to continue it gives you the standard "you have a newer version etc etc etc etc"
if you do this process without even using the downgrader at all and just run memory stick 2 (which is the 1.5 formware) and completly by pass the mamery stick 1 sectiona dn instructions, EXACTLY the same thing happens, if you put in a UMD with 1.5 firmware and try and upgrade\downgrade to it again you get teh same error, i tried every combination i could find.. i was even quick enough to switch memory sticks with out turning the psp into hibernation mode and it still did exactly the same.

i followed the instructions and i am telling you now, this does nothing, to you, your psp or you pants.

Try it yourself and see. It is impossible for this to brick a psp, you could run this all day (which i have since this morning as i keep trying differnt ways incase i got it worng) and will will do no harm to anything as it is usless.
