Safest Downdate From Version 2.60 to 1.50?

[Mr. Master D. Evil]

I'm new here...

So straight to the point:
What would be the safest downdate from version 2.60 to 1.50?
Should I update? Is that more safe?
And what "homebrew"(Open) update is the safest to install?
Any great guide how to exactly downdate and update to a "homebrew"(Open) update... a guide for a n00b would do it! =P if none, some caring to write? =o

Here is a little bit about my PSP:
I don't think it has ta-082 motherboard, at least I cant find anything written inside of the UMD Lid (on the motherboard)
Currently it has the firmware version 2.60!
PSP-1004 if that is doing some difference...
hmm... if any more information is required just ask, cause im too tired to think of any atm =/

I bought a 2.60 a while back. Here's what I did: I upgraded to 2.71 using an official eboot. Then, I used the 2.71 downgrader. Then, naturally, I upgraded to custom firmware. It all went very smoothly.

i would make certain you aren't in possession of a TA-082 mobo, that 2.71 downgrader doesn't work with those mobos, i know there is a downgrader for 2.8 or something like that for TA-082 mobos, you might wanna look in your UMD drive to see if you that IC6001 or IC1003(TA-082)

[Mr. Master D. Evil]

well, Im pretty sure its not TA-082
I got the PSP right after it came out here in norway! Christmas gift!

well I cant find this "IC1003" as shown on this picture:

well, i cant see any text there...
I just wondered whats the safest? (nice with some thoughts around that)! =o and any n00b guide? =)

The safest way is to upgrade to 2.80, and use the 2.80 HEN generic downgrader. Here is a link to an application that will walk you through it.

I'll take a look on it =)
k thnx

I've used the 2.80 downgrader a few months ago and it worked fine for me. You shouldn't have any problems as long as you follow the instructions in the readme carefully.

[Mr. Master D. Evil]

Is it safer to maybe use GTA:LCS?
Cause I do have that game =o
What is the most common reason to why a PSP can brick when u downgrade... (and why is it so that it might brick, and that I cant be sure that its not going to brick? o.O)

[Cloudhunter]

If you have GTA: LCS with a 2.00 update, it's best to go up to 3.03 and downgrade... That guide will help you there aswell

[Mr. Master D. Evil]

Just so I get this straight:
Upgrading to 3.03 is the safest?
Then downgrading to 1.5

I do have 2.60 atm and I do have GTA:LCS with 2.00 update. I have an older version of the motherboard than TA-082... =)


sorry if im kinda slow, i just wanna be really really sure that I don't **** up the PSP
