2.70 downgrade

**relientmark** · September 19th, 2006, 07:50

My friend has a PSP with 2.70 on it.
Can I use a 2.71 downgrader on this?

If not, what are my options? can I upgrade to 2.71 without going higher?

Thanks in advance..

Get the 2.71 firmware from PSP-hacks. Upgrade and then format your MS and then use the downgrade. After successfully downgrading, downgrade to 1.0 and then back up to 1.5. This gives you a nice clean firmware with no bugs.

ok download the 2.71 update eboot, make an UPDATE folder in the GAME folder, put the 2.71 update eboot in the UPDATE folder, then run it from the XMB(main psp screen), then u can run the 2.71 downgrader

hello.

i have psp with 2.50 firmware on it. I do the same like u did? first upgrade to 2.71 (with file on psp-hacks) and then downgrade to 1.5.

My next question is is it important which downgrader i use or it doesn't matter (where do u get it? - there are a lot diffrent i found on net)
i ask this couse i really don't wanna brick my psp.

thank u very much for suggestions!

If you have GTA:LCS unpatched version, JOHNI, i would use the 2.5/6 downgrader rather than the 2.71 downgrader. It's a lot safer!

no i don't have GTA:LCS unpatched version

so this ''risky'' way is the only way for me?

thx for help

It's not risky per se, but there have been bricks. Have you got the easy downgrader version? You can get it at PSP-Hacks .com. This version will put all the files in the right place on your MS and take away the majority of the problems with this downgrader. Bear in mind, there has been a hell of a lot of successful downgrades using this. Go for it and join the 1.5 army.

oh u don't now how the hell i want to join this army! Yes, but FIRST I downloaded firmware 2.71 to upgrade -version EU (this will be the first step), then i downloaded downgrader from 2.71 to 1.5.

i hope this is the right way for my psp
