Rumour Time - Downgrader for 2.71 Coming Soon ?

[krazyx86]

OMFG FINALLY I CAN UN-SCREW MYSELF. Yes, I am one of the retards that updated their PSP for the super emazing "features" that Sony has been flaunting around. That was a huge mistake.. HB FOR LYFE GLHF GG 2.71

yea, good for everyone that can downgrade when this comes out, but it still will probably not work with the ta-0082 motherboards (thats what there called right) as it wasnt the exploit stopping the degrade, it was the motherboard/nand flash

Purely excellent.. Why, oh why do Sony keep trying, they could be Making money from this if they were smart enough.

You all should just downgrade. If you haven't ask some of our 1.50 users on this site, its the best firmware. To put it simply 1.50 can emulate EVERY firwmare but 2.80 why stay at 2.71? (If you upgraded past 2.80 you must really hate yourself. . let this be a lesson, DONT UPGRADE! (Dont worry, i did it a while back when i went to 1.52 and then learned about homebrew on 1.50. . .But i bought a second psp and probably am getting a 3rd for kicks. I know where to get a NEW 1.50 near my house.) I'm pretty sure that the tiff exploit wont be as smooth as 1.50 just launching from the GAME Folder HOWEVER, if it is a risky downgrade, i recommend not doing it. I see it as being a risky downgrade because as we have progressed in firmwares the downgrade each time has been harder to complete. I would only from 2.00 i've done it a couple of times and the risk is just as high as putting a background on your 1.50 (just about) its not too bad at all. 2.50-2.60 downgrade with GTA was a little bit too sketchy for me i wouldnt try that EVER

yourstillwithme: there is nothing wrong with the downdater by dax and the others, while it was sketchy at first (i mean come on, the first release wouldnt have worked in a million years) but the 5th test acctually worked, then they still made it safer (well, about as safe as an official update with an ac adapter check), i have perfomed both downgrades on my psp (same psp both times, 1st time...well to downgrade a 2.6, second time to get a clean european firmware, rather than a dumped one) although the gta downgrader does require the downdater folder which is illegal to distribue, which makes the 2.0 downgrader easier/better in ways
note: i also downgraded a friends 2.5 with the final downdater, which worked just as well as the 2. 6 test 5 downdater

Ill just stick with my 1.5 I love my custom firmware because it loads directly into iR shell. And i can use devhook for 2.71 web browser and games (Real UMDs not ISOs).

[splodger15]

i have a 1.5 myself but im a glad that more people can use 1.5

so is every one in a consensus that a downgrader will come out before a eloader for 2.71? wont it take a while for testing and what not on a downgrader? not that a loader wont have to be tested, it just doesn't take as long.

Well yesterday I would have said yes but now I´m not sure. I am very curious to see what comes next. Alot happening in the psp scene. Have to admit, $ony hired the wrong guys. Our coders, hackers are great.
Keep up the fantastic work.
