TA-082 downgrader released! by Dark-AleX/Mathieulh/Harlyg

On http://downgrader.lan.st/ it says
"2.71 Downdater Codename "Old Car" Available now.

UPDATE:Fixed a bug that caused premature bricking if the hack to force the unassign/assign of the flash failed. All sites mirroring the file, please update it to the new one."

Is the old or new one hosted on this site?

And will updating to 3.02 OE-A then 3.02 OE-B after downgrading work?

That version is for NON-TA-082 PSPs. It does not apply to this version.

Can i upgrade to 3.02 oe-a then 3.02 oe-b after downgrading????

[oafan]

yes you should be able to

[scarph]

very nice very nice

I'm interested in how the crew did this one.

I thought TA-082 couldn't even run 1.5 or something like that.

O well

[oafan]

The method of ta-082 downgrade is based on research on hardware-downgraded ta-082 selled in ebay.
We realized that the process was not very complex, and easy to imitate by software.

thats how they did it

Great, nothing is impossible.

I bet if they tried they could create a motherboard mod that lets you overclock past 333Mhz and melt your PSP, only for a few seconds of fast Bochs emulation

WOO HOO
now i can run 3.02OE-B

Someone please comeout with an easy downgrader

Okay, so here's what i've understood as far as upgrading to 3.02 OE-B on TA-082's:

1. Downgrade using D_A's TA-082 Downgrader

2. Upgrade using D_A's 3.02 OE-A Firmware

3. Upgrade to 3.02 OE-B using the OE-B update

Okay, so then I should be running 3.02 OE-B in all it's glory. My question is though, that many people are confirming that if you use the recovery option in 3.02 OE-B (R trigger on boot) that it will brick your PSP because of the whole v1.5 UPDATE EBOOT.PBP incompatibility. What I am wonering is, can I simply replace the v1.5 UPDATE EBOOT.PBP file in the recovery folder with the v2.71 UPDATE EBOOT.PBP and then when I use the recovery option, it will simply install v2.71 instead?

If that is possible, then TA-082 users will have a perfect setup, and a perfect exit if they wish to go back to v2.71.
