2.71 PSP's say "Goodbye" - Downgrader Released! |
Listed in: Firmware, Hacks & Exploits, News Tags: Downdater, downgrader, Mathieulh, psp firmware, Softdown, TA-082
As some 2.71 PSPÂ’s say hello to the world, others will be saying goodbye at the same time as a downgrader has been released just a few moments ago!!
For this one occasion, I grant you permission to jump on your computer’s desk; jumping up and down until you have broken your desk. The reason for such a command is that after you have done it you probably won’t care about the desk, as you have just read that a 2.71 downdater (downgrader) has now been made available! Yes, that’s right – all you 2.71 owners (who do not have a TA-082 motherboard) will be able to downgrade your PSP to firmware 1.50.
Using the recently exploited vulnerability in the tiff library, Dark_Alex (with the help of Mathieulh) has managed to create a 2.71 downdater. You are probably wondering how they managed to create this so fast, and the answer is simple. This 2.71 downdater is a port of the 2.50/2.60 downdater that was released slightly over 2 months ago. This new downdater, like the previous one, will not work with TA-082 PSP’s. However, if you do happen to have such a PSP – 0okm has been working on a softdown (no hardware changes required) method, so you are not left in the dust.
The procedure for installing, and successfully downgrading your PSP comprises of several steps in which one must be very careful. Since this downdgrader is a port of the 2.50/2.60 downdater – it functions the exact same way – just without the need for GTA. So, all the installation instructions may seem extremely familiar as they follow some of the exact same procedures as the original downdater. There were several bricked PSP's during testing but this latest version appears to be stable, but please remain cautious. As always, please follow the directions exactly as they appear. If you choose to proceed with this downgrader, use it at your own risk as bricking may occur.
If you are anxious to prepare for the downgrader (which you are, of course) check out our previous coverage of the 2.50/2.60 Downgrader as the installation process will most likely be nearly identical.
We will have the download and full details available in just a few short hours, so be sure to stay with QJ.NET and PSPUpdates for all the details! This post will be updated as more info comes streaming in!
Update #1: Just a few minutes after posting and already an update! According to the developers, the code for the downgrader is still a bit unstable, so it may not start up successfully on the first try - hence the codename "Old Car." However, it is stable once it actually begins to run and there should not be any problem with bricking if the instructions (soon to be provided) are followed precisely.
Also, as mentioned above, Mathieulh & Dark_Alex did brick several of their PSP's during the initial testings. If you feel like donating to their cause, you can do so here. (Also, mad props to Xairu and Birdman for their bravery in testing the downgrader, as well as joshrulez2 who was the first tester - and the first brick!)
Update #2: For your convenience , and to save you time, we have taken the liberty of giving you the instructions for the 1.50 helper/dumper program. This program is required for one to downgrade their PSP as it dumps important 1.50 files from a firmware 1.50 PSP. Here's how you can obtain these files (do not ask for them, they are illegal to distribute) -
1.50 User Instructions
Copy the folders downhelper and downhelper% from the folder 1.50 HELPER folder to /PSP/GAME/ in your memstick. (The DownHelper can be downloaded below)- Obtain the 1.50 update EBOOT and put it in /PSP/GAME/UPDATE in your memstick. You may find the 1.50 update in our download site here.
- Initilize the downhelper program.
- It will dump your flash and some files from the updater eboot to the memstick. (These files are illegal under US copyright laws, so please do not distribute them in the comments or on our forums)
- After that, the program will exit. You can now delete the updater from /PSP/GAME/UPDATE
- You'll notice that you have a new folder in the root of your memstick called "DOWNDATER". (See diagram on right for arrangement - click to enlarge)
- That's the folder you'll have to send to a 2.71 owner to let him downgrade.
- Download the Downgrader below and copy the files inside MS_ROOT to the root of your memory stick.
- Wait for someone with 1.50 to pass you a folder called DOWNDATER and copy it to the root of your memstick.
- It is recomended that you have the psp at more than 50% batteery and connected to AC
- Go to the XMB Photo viewer.
At this point will one of the following things:
- You'll see a full red screen. This indicates that the downdater is doing its job. Wait for it to finish. When it finishes it will crash on purpose. Restart your PSP manually and you'll probably have a 1.50 if nothing went wrong.
- You don't see the red screen. This indicates that the downdater code has not started to execute. (even if the memstick blinks (or not), It doesn't matter! If the screen is not red, you can safely restart the PSP at this point and try again).
This happens because of instability in the tiff. Don't worry, just restart the PSP and keep trying until you reach the red screen of the downdater. The downdater code is NEVER executed partially. It's either executed totally or nothing. It depends on "luck" but usually the downdater will start to execute in a average of 1/10 times. Things that may increase the probabilities:
- A fresh formatted memory stick.
- A 32 MB memory stick (and fresh formatted)
Update #3: Don't you love it when things go ahead of schedule? The downgrader is here and can be downloaded below! This has been tested by a few people and confirmed, but who knows what the results will be now that it has been released to the public! Download at your own risk! Read the install instructions above!
You should be very certain you feel comfortable with the procedure. If you don't, do not attempt to downgrade your PSP. The crew at Nooz.eu have already stated that a Kernel Mode eLoader is possible for 2.71, so if you are unsure about downgrading just be patient and wait for a more risk-free alternative to become available!
For those of you who have 2.01 - 2.60 Firmware but DO NOT have GTA and want to use this downgrader by taking advantage of the new libtiff exploit, you can find the 2.71 Firmware Update at DL.QJ.NET.
Update #4: A big thanks goes out to Mr. Dank from our forums. He has provided us with a nice video of the downgrade process (shown below).
- Will this work on 2.80?
Some commenters keep insisting that this works on the 2.80. Some commenters keep insisting that it will brick your 2.80 if you try it. A word of sanity: until the developer says that it works on 2.80, it's probably a bad idea to try it on a 2.80. - How do I turn off comments by unregistered users?
FYI for Registered users: some of you have complained about all the spam (we're dealing with the worst of it but the comments are coming in faster than we can handle right now). You have a temporary solution: above the very first comment you see a drop-down menu next to the words "Unregistered Comments." Select "Hide" to hide all comments by unregistered users.

2.00 = loads of reply's of happiness and relief probably 600+
2.60= a massive ammount of reply's probably 500+ in half a day but about 1000 now
2.70-2.71=not many replies yet,about 3 hours this has been up and 150- replies :(
i think it just makes us all forget how desperate everyone was when 2.0 got homebrew blocked and how much of a struggle it was to create an exploit,then just when 2.00 was cracked it was 2.01 and then the real problems began...around 9months later we create a downgrade for 2.01,2.50,2.60 (well not really 2.01 but it was downgradable)
and 2.71 gets cracked in about 2 or 1 month and there's really not much hype over it :( shame really as i remember the comments of joy everyone made and this time there's hardly any posts whatsoever
but hey for those who appreciate the struggle and hard work and everything i hope you enjoy some great homebrew!
and heres a word of advice:
when you get your 1.50,the first thing people usually wanna do is change the fonts,wallpaper s,version spoof,devhook.etc
DONT DO IT YET
GET CUSTOM FW!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
if you get custom firmware you can unbrick your psp if you get a partial brick from modding it or an error....
so yeah there's a quick word of advice

Ok this is a big breakthrough not just for 2.71 owners but 2.8 too seen as it's a step closer!
I can't wait for a 2.8 downgrader! I really wanna downgrade to 2.71 then 1.5 and then use the devHook to emulate 2.71 so i can still use the portal...
I can guess now that dark alex after they release this that they will get working on a 2.8 downgrader!

Remember that we are always lacking in developers here in the PSP homebrew community! After you downgrade try out the emulators, then go and read some c++ books or something. And dont forget to search google for lua tutorials to help get you on your way.

For those who want to know how to get this working:
step 1.
http://dl.qj.net/Easy-2.50-2.60-downgrader-Hacks-Exploits-PSP/pg/12/fid/8607/catid/114
go through it and select somewhere on your pc to make the program think it is your psp. it will then put the DOWNDATER files to that location
step 2.
with that, follow the steps in the guide written on this page
it seriously worked for me, it does nothing and crashes a few times but there is no harm done, you can just simply reset your psp till it finally works
this comment may be deleted? but for those who read it gl and have fun with ur new 1.5 psp

welcome to 1.50
i suggest that the first thing you do is update to 2.00 and use the 2.00 > 1.50 downgrader to get a "clean" version
then download devhook and harleyg's custom firmware to prevent future brickage!!
ps. if you are and idiot you may brick it in the process, but if you do as it says on the psp-hacks tutorial then you should be fine.

If you don't have anybody whos got the DOWNDATER folder can just use the 'Downgrader2.50-2.60ENFULL.exe'.
Instead of typing the PSP root folder you can just create a new folder onto the desktop and type this into the form.
Now you've got the DOWNDATER folder in it, just go as followed in the readme and use this DOWNDATER folder ;)
have fun, this really rocks!

Nothings gone wrong it can do this just use wab version changer if it bothers you n chancge it to 1.50 or take battery out for a minuite 2 c if that works,
The root of the memory card is the first place you goto once you click into your psp [its got the psp folder in it Not the Game ,Folder ext]
It dont matter what firmware you use JAP Or US AS they all work so dont worry if u have a jap psp n an US downdater 1.50 downdater file it dont matter,
Some of you keep asking were you get the downdater FFS look thr the thread ! post your email n itll b sent to you,
Wow i really can see some people bricking there psp as there gonna downgrade with out the downdater wow now thats were the few % of bricks come from."PEOPLE WHO DONT READ B4 THEY DOWNGRADE"

Dont worry we should all wait for the eloader fanjita will bring out, possibly 2morrow or wait for sony with their new firmware with playstation 1 emulation both ways we will win.
I've had many hombrew games on my 2.60 firmware with GTA LCS exploit ,their all crap but did enjoy the sega, snes and all emus. Honestly saying the only thing good about 1.5 fw is the ISO loaders which every loves but say they hate cause this site does like it.
Dont worry 2.80 There is life outside the psp that most 1.5's dont know about yet, i really do feel sorry for them.

you used a dump of someone who modified the flash with xflash and spoofed the version number. just install xflash, run it, and spoof the firmware back to 1.50 or whatever you want to set it to.

Message to 2.71ers ~ Welcome to the world of Emulators/apps/back up ISO's!
Message to 2.8ers ~ Hang on tight guys, a downgrader will no doubt be on its way sooner rather than later.
Just a pity to think Sony will spend more time and resources on bringing out newer FW's now, why can't they grasp the concept, as a large corporate company, that Homebrew can only be benificial to the PSP.

See note at bottom of: http://pspupdates.qj.net/Undiluted-Platinum-Compatibility-Check-made-Easy-/pg/49/aid/56713
Here's a photo of the left imprint:

I missed seeing this when I first checked my PSP, but after seeing the example on the "about" page, I do see the imprint under some metal bracket looking thing on the left side of my psp. I have not downgraded yet.

1)Copy the files inside MS_ROOT to the root of your memory stick.
2) Wait someone with 1.50 to pass you a folder called DOWNDATER and copy it to the root of your memstick.
So 1) I put the d.bin file in MS_ROOT and i put the hw.tif file in photo.
IS THIS CORRECT ?
2) then i'll need that file ? could onyone plz send me to maxi_michiels@h otmail.com
PLZ REPLY !!! THANK YOU

I'll probably upgrade to 2.6 so that I can play Socom online and still use the GTA exploit for the emulators. I have no interest in ripping off software houses with copied PSP games and there are no companies losing money to emulated SNES games.
Thanks guys.

For a while, I messed about with homebrew on 2.6 with the GTA hack. It was fun an all but... well I got bored and never thought it would develop much more through the GTA hack. So I upgraded to 2.71 and within days, there was a downgrade possible on the 2.6. I was frustrated, but decided I would not update again. Fast forward a few weeks and I feel completely vindicated. These developers deserve all the credit in the world.
To summarise, I've just successfully downgraded. It took about 6 attempts until I got the soon-to-be-famous red screen. A couple of minutes later I had 1.5 on my PSP!
I've got some serious catching up to do...

So lastnight before I went to bed I decided to give it a go, ALL WORKED PERFECT! I was scared b/c i don't own a 32mb card, but i do have a sony 512mb one.
My steps:
1. Formatted my mem stick
2. Restarted psp
3. Copied the DOWNDATER folder to root
4. copied the exploit files where needed (i.e. rw.tiff in PHOTO, ETC
5. Restarted psp by removing battery
6. Powered back on after installing battery
7. Ran the exploit by opening the .tiff in the psp photo viewer
And by the magic touches of this wonderful devs that we have working on this *****..........I'M NOW A 1.5 user!!!! You guys don't know how much i've been waiting on this.
If you guys get your psp downgraded........donate, I did and these guys sure can use it. It is the least we can do :)
AGAIN IF YOU NEED DOWNDATER JUST AIM starkey2600 the link is in my away message.
Reply
I'm already running 1.5 when I downgraded from 2.6 but this is awesome news for the homebrew scene.
Sony will again fix this in the next October upgrade but by that time I really hope Devhook comes back onto the scene. I don't mind if the guywho made it doesn't pack the SCE copyright files. There's other ways of obtaining them

follow my TUTORIAL:
MAKE SURE YOU:
1: format the MS before do anything (mine was a sony1GB)
2: reset your 2.71 setting before!
3:put the 1.5 downgrader file into the Root of MS
4:put the downgrader to you root of psp same as the dongrader are! you have a message to overwrite the PSP folder It's fine because include only the Tiff exploit so it's ok :)when you got all file ready!
5: take off the battery! (previously fully charged!!!!)
6:plug back the battery again
