That guy was proven to be a liar. Let's hope the same is not true about this poster. We'll see if he still shows his face if someone disproves this.

I thought it was strange myself at first, but then it made sense for all of about 2 seconds. Then I realized:

Custom firmware doesn't come in an Update Eboot format.

There is no possible way he could have downgraded his friend's PSP with a custom 1.5 firmware that looked for Devhook on boot, since as I said custom firmware doesn't come in the form of an update eboot.

You mean you cant recombine the files into an eboot?

but doesnt the 2.71 downgrader use a dump and not an eboot ( i may be wrong i havent tried it) if so then i think what i said happened

[bullhead]

oh well there you go!

i think this would only work on partial bricks where u can still play a UMD, also there were a few people on psp-hacks besides that dude who posted the unbricker who used it and said it worked...i say if u have a partial brick, do it i mean what do u have to lose

and i think it has nothing to do with cfw, he stated he was running at 2.8 and bricked his psp by "trying" to put cfw on it, then he took his working psp copied the files of the unbricker onto the root of the MS and popped the MS in his brick and ran it, so i think it would be worth a shot for an unfortunate brick

I suppose you could, but when you downgrade you are actually running a Sony-made update. Since the downgrader just rewrites the PSP version from 2.7 to like 0.1 so then a 1.5 update can run because the PSP doesn't know any better.

Just seems sketchy to me. If it worked, all the power to the OP... But if this is some sick joke or a lie...
