Bought a white PSP fw 2.60. Need help getting 3.40 oe a on it please :).

Ok, just got myself a brand new PSP, a white one. It has, like the title says fw 2.60. Checking the top right corner in the UMD place I see nothing, it's completely blank. The left side has nothing either, only 1009IC BEHIND the green area.

So, what should I use to downgrade to 1.5 and then up to 3.40 oe a?

I read in a thread that if it's a virgin 2.60 and hasn't been updated to 2.60 from a low version, it will result in a brick if I use the 2.60-1.5 downgrader I saw somewhere.

I don't trust myself, even though I think I need to upgrade to 2.71 first, then use a Easy 2.71 Downgrader.... the downgraders I find might be evil files.

I really want someone experienced here to give me links to the files I need. PLEASE!.... pretty please.... with suggar on top..... and I'll throw in my girlfriend too!.

So please guys, show me the way

Thanks! :thumbup:

Use the 2.80 N00bZ downgrader since it's safer and it has TA-082 support too.

I have read that if I downgrade with a downgrader made for TA-082 on a PSP that is not TA-082 (like mine, I think), I can get a brick... so should I really use the one in your link?

Cuz I have downloaded 2_71_US_firmware_update.rar
was gonna install it.. and then use Downgrader.271FULL.exe

When I'm on 1.5, is it necessary to update to 2.0, then to 1.5 again then to the firmware I want?.. cuz I read that if I don't go to 2.0 first, my psp might brick as it misses files or something like that.

Want a quick reply please before I continue.

NoobZ's downgrader checks what motherboard version you have and downgrades in the appropriate manner. Since it supports ALL motherboards from TA-79 to TA-086, so don't worry. I also used it several times before without a brick.

Ok, so I don't have to update to 2.71 first or anything?

Says in the readme it's intended for 2.80.... so, official sony 2.80fw first, no?

**-Xandu-** · August 2nd, 2007, 13:43

Yes, you have to upgrade to 2.80 first.

**IronX** · August 2nd, 2007, 13:45

Ok, the file in your link came without those big stuff thingies... so downloading 1.5 official fw now.... and 2.80 official fw......

Got only 30kb/DL speed.. so takes some time...

Just currious.... would something bad happen if I use the US version of the fw 2.80 instead of the EU version when I have an EU PSP? (which I think I have).
