Downgrader for 2.80, 2.80 with TA-082, and HEN-D for 2.80 released!

[Fanjita]

QUESTION FOR FANJITA:

If Fanjita happens to come by and see this post or if anyone else wants to answer, that is fine.

If you are not yet aware, the current downgrader for 2.71 TA-082 corrupts something with IDstorage and USBHost support. Maybe a couple other things as well.

So with that said and now this new downgrader, do you recommend upgrading 2.71 TA-082's to 2.80 and using this downgrader instead?

Thanks in advance for any comments about that. And thanks to Fanjita, Ditlew and the rest of Team Noobz!

This TA082 idstorage patcher includes fixes for all of the currently-known problems with the idstorage hacks, so as far as we know you should no longer have any USBHostFS-related problems.

If you want to be really safe, you could use a NAND-dumper app (there's one included in the HEN package, for instance) to grab off a copy of your flash before you run the idstorage patcher. That way, if any further problems are found with idstorage hacking, then you would at least have a chance of being able to recover the original data to repair it.

Thanks for the response, but there is absolutley no number in that area of the UMD slot. I guess I'm left with asking if this is possible to figure out based on the model and year. Also, does it really matter so long as it's an older PSP?

The downgrader auto-detects TA-082/086 and will tell you, then won't let you go any further until you do the right steps, so you don't need to worry too much about working out the version for yourself.

wouldn't it be better to make a 3.0 downgrader first? cus then it would just require updating and downloading and more people will be able to use it.

Thanks n00bz, was planin on downgrading with the 0okm downgrader for my mate but id rather use this safer version so thanks for your hardwork. Nice to see people in the scene working together and maybe if dax n co joined your team you would be like the uberist ever, but it doesnt really matter because if dax is this unselfish in future we may get a 3.03 downgrader...prob not soon tho. Source is a very nice thing lol.

THERE IS NO KNOWN EXPLOIT FOR 2.80+ FIRMWARE PSPs.

Without an exploit that allows access to the Kernal of the PSP there can be no downgrader.

Therefore it is currently impossible for anyone to make downgrader, its not that they don't want to or can't be bothered........

I've installed HEN, but I'm not going to use the d/g for a while, so I tried loading some homebrew with it. But none of it works, except the stuff bundled with it. All the homebrew I had previously worked with xLoader, and i tried putting unpatched versions on as well, but it all comes up to the blue screen then back to the XMB with the message 'Game could not be started', just as if you were to try to load it without any homebrew enabling software. Any help?

I just downgraded, if a 2.80SE Firrmware Comes out i'll upgrade.

... Why not upgrade to 3.03OE? There will never be a 2.80SE firmware.

Sure, tell me how to run unsigned code on 3.0 and I'd be glad to.

I usually find it's better to the possible stuff first. Impossible is nice, but usually takes a little longer.

Gotta love that attitude! Nice work as always.

If you flash HEN-D to your psp, and update afterwards, could this brick your psp? Just in case I would have to update (sony has to give an extremely good reason to so).
