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.

Cheers!

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
