Generic Downgrader for 2.71

[chiefy]

I just Downgraded from 2.71 to 1.50 and everything worked perfectly the first time.
Thanks every one who made this downgrader it owns!
and thanks chiefy your instructions where very helpful.
Now i still want to play my umd's such as tekken an soccom, so would my best option be to use Dark Alex's custom firmware 2.71SP-A or to use devhook? Thanks

YOu're welcome...glad I could help

Well DA's custum sounds promising however I believe it to be best to stay 1.5 for the time being. I mean we spent all that time wanting to be 1.5 then DA made it possible this last Friday for those who were hesitant using other methods....Then a day later he releases the custom firmware ROFL

Anyway I'd sit tight and use Devhook for now to play your legit games. I've been using it since Friday and love it. I use .45 because it was easier for me and I get nervous anytime I hear something "writes to flash" as with the .46

Thats just me though

I'm currently installing Dark's custom firmware. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Just finnished installing 2.71se-a everything worked %100. I tried devhook just before 271se-a, and in my opinion 271se-a tops 1.50 with devhook, I like not having to switch between firmwares and having everything on one menu.
Its Awesome!

lol, I've been having the same problems as everyone and I have been reading all the posts that I could but it will not work at all

- First: I have a non TA-082 board and a 2.71 psp firmfare

-Second: I'm no noob to homebrew and I used to have a 1.50 before I upgraded to 2.60 then 2.71, next I have tried the Homebrw Enabler C and the first time I used it it the screen flashed blue then red then green then it shut off without a reboot, next when I turned it back on it I tried to run the Downgrader and it didn't work so I jumped back and tried to use the HEN C agian but that just flashed blue then shut off without a reboot so please anyone HELP ME!!!!!!! I really want thins to work and yes I have tried and read everything and it still doesn't work

hmm.. I dunno why every one is having theese problems, it worked perfectly for me.

When you run Henc for the first time the screen should flash blue, then either green or red, only one of the two, not both.

Red= The files could not be written to the flash.
If you get this then you have to reboot your
psp and then run Henc again untill you get a
green screen.

Green= The files have been succefully written.
The xmb should reboot by ITSELF.

After you get a green screen and the xmb reboots, try and run either the cube sample or the polyphonic sample, if they are working henc is installed correctly and working.

Once you have Henc working you can install and run the updater(downgrader).

-copy the files from MS_ROOT to your memory stick in the correct folder, PSP/GAME/UPDATE.

-Then get the EBOOT.PBP of the firmware you want
to install (1.50)
NOTE* This does not come with the downgrader
you have to get it your self. search the net
and you should easily find it. The EBOOT
should be abou 13.2 MB (13,900,225 bytes)

-Once you have the EBOOT.PBP rename it to
UPDATE.PBP and copy it to your memory stick
in PSP/GAME/UPDATE.

-Run the program and it should bring up an
agreement screen telling you to push x to continue
or R to cancel. Push x and the downgrader should
do its thing.

Ok Ive been a long time browser of these forums and homebrew user, Ive read the others problems and solutions as they were the same as mine but its just not working.


I do have the TA-082 mobo, but this is supposedly compatible.

Anyways what happens to me is the same as others but I'll explain it.

First: Installation

-Download HENC and UpdateFlasher for Firmware 2.6.
-Copy the HENC and UpdateFlasher to my MP-Root so they HEN is in photo as a tiff and UpdateFlasher is in Game/UPDATE.
-Copy 2.6 Firmware Update to Game/UPDATE/UPDATE.PBP with the update flashers EBOOT.PBP.



Ok. Now I go to my photos and view HENC. It flashes and blue screen for 5 seconds then softboots as I had already installed before. I test with the cube demo in the game XMB and it runs fine, so I exit, the run the red update icon called Update X.YZ or w/e and it plays the sounds then fades to the black as if its loading. I wait about 15 seconds and nothing popsup and it softboots back to the XMB with no changes or results. I have tried running HENC multiple times as well and hardbooting then runing but no luck.


I even just tried formatting my 1g memory card so its clean with nothing and also set my PSP settings to factory default, the run HENC and Update and it still softboots back after 15 seconds.


Please help me as I'm dying to get back to 2.6 to change my game loading screens and use the cheat device for 2.6 GTA.

As I said before my mobo is TA-082 which should work and I have homebrew and computer experience as I have had no problems with other items.


Any help is appreciated.

Ok the EBOOT.PBP is actualy a legal file and I have linked the page to get the correct ones before.

what are you trying to do? make it 2.6? be clear in what you want to get out of this, there may be an easier way
