What version FW did your PSP had when you got it?
I've used this downgrade on 5 psp (mines and friends) and it all worked, maybe because they were all once FW 1.50

out of the box it was 1.57 or something, did it brick because my battery was under 50% during the downgrade?

most like yes, you should have had it fully charged

This is fustrating.

Ive tried well over 20 times now, for no result.

I have a 32mb formatted, fully charged psp and have it connected to the AC.

I'm about to stop trying.

I have these all together...

MEMSTICK.IND file

I've also got the hw.tif file in my PSP/PHOTO folder

and your psp is a 2.71

it should be working then
also, did you format your memory stick before you put all your files in, and also make sure you don't have any other files besides the ones needed to downgrade

Yes, its a 2.71

I did format my memory stick before i put the files in. Infact, ive removed the files and formatted again in hope that it would work the second time around.

I do not have any other files on my mem stick.

the onlything I did was DL'ed the files from psp-hack
the just click and pasted, that's it!!! I also made sure that all the psp's were 100% fully charged and that the AC was plug in, and the Wfi off. I also waited 5-7 sec to turn the psp back on right after the red display.
