2.71 TA-082 Firmware PSP's Now Able to Downgrade!

Posted Dec 27, 2006 at 7:05AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Firmware, Hacks & Exploits Tags: downgrader, psp firmware, Sony, TA-082, XMB
Ó

PSPJust when you thought Santa (Dark_Alex) couldn't surprise us with anymore presents for this holiday season, he has! We have a downgrader from Dark_Alex with the help of Mathieulh (right-hand man) and Harleyg. Just today it was announced that 2.71 PSPs running Dark_Alex's HEN-D will be able to downgrade their PSPs to a lower firmware (1.50) with this new program.

Unlike previous downdaters that require 1.50 helper files (illegal to distribute), this downgrader uses the raw 1.50 update file which is not illegal to distribute, so this process is much easier than previous downdaters released by Dark_Alex.

This program is specifically designed for 2.71 HEN-D users with a TA-082 motherboard. HEN-D, which enables 2.71 users to execute homebrew via the XMB, will be required for this downgrade process, and if you do not have it you can download it at the link provided below. Dark_Alex has also provided a detailed installation of this process detailed in the readme (please read the readme after you download).
  1. Copy the UPDATE and idstoragechange folders into /PSP/GAME/
  2. Get the official sony 1.50 eboot and put it in the /PSP/GAME/UPDATE folder with the name of UPDATE.PBP
  3. Run HEN-D if you are not already running it.
  4. Execute the idstoragechange. It needs 75% battery. It will change some keyes of your idstorage needed to downgrade the ta-082.
  5. The program will exit to the XMB. Now execute the generic downgrade, which will show in the xmb as "Update X.YX" in the psp language.
  6. The generic downgrader will also need 75% battery. IT will downgrade your psp to 1.50.
  7. At the end, it will ask you to press X to restart the psp. Do it.
  8. If all went fine, you'll receive a blue screen telling you to press O. Do it, and reenter your settings. Welcome to 1.50.
  9. If things didn't go that fine, you'll have a non-functional psp, aka brick.
Warning: As always, there is a chance that you may brick your PSP running a downgrader, so please try this at your own risk and follow directions exactly.

Now I have a question though. Does a TA-082 PSP have to come with 2.71 installed out of the box, or could you have updated to 2.71 in order to use this downdater?

# dPSPZorZ 2006-12-27 08:35
It isn't that hard to DG TA-082's to FW 2.50 I think so once an exploit is found on 2.81, you'll be able to DG to 2.50 pretty soon and then upgrade to 2.71 then DG to 1.50... then upgrade to 3.02 OE... wow that's gonna take a while :/

# all TA- MB'S?Guest 2006-12-27 08:49
how can you tell the difference between TA-082 and the other TA- motherboards or will this work on all of them?

BTW if you visit his site he has already updated the file becouse of a glich in the hack i hope pspupdates has the newer one, don't want any bricked psp's becouse of slow coverage....



my buddy has a TA-082 or 86 i can't tell, i think i'll wait a day or to before i tell him about this just to make sure everything works. i don't want to be responsible for bricking his psp.



I said it once and i'll say it again Dark_Alex IS GOD!!

Stop freaking out! Open the HEN-D folder and go into the MSROOT folder and copy everything there directly into your PSP's Root. So I copy the files PSP,h,patch and so forth to my G:\ . Honestly if you do not understand how to do this rite now don't try. Read up on some more forums and don't blame me if u mess up.

# this is the instructions from HEN-B, but it is the same as HEN-D, and HEN-D is much more stableGuest 2006-12-27 09:09
instructions



- Copy all contents inside MS_ROOT to the root of your memory stick.

- Go to the PHOTO viewer of the XMB and enter in the folder "HEN".

- If the psp just freeze, reboot your psp and try again. Currently the tiff is very unstable and it

is only executed sometimes. I'll try to improve that in the future.



- The first time you run the program, you will see quickly a blue screen, and after that a screen

that can be of two colors:



* Red: the files couldn't be written to the flash (it hapens a few times). Just keep trying.

* Green: The files were written succesfully. After that, the xmb will be rebooted. Now you can run

the homebrew in format prepared for 2.71. (see details below).



- As mentioned before, the patch will remain resident in memory, and even entering sleep mode

won't delete it. Only a hardware reset will remove the program from memory.



- When you do a hardware reset, you'll have to run the tiff again.

This time there won't be green or red screen, just a blue screen and xmb reboot, since

this time there is no need to write to the flash.



Note: the files pspbtknf.txt, pspbtknf_game.txt, pspbtknf_update r, and systemctrl.prx in the root

of the memory stick are only needed the first time the program is executed. After that you

can delete those. However, don't delete patch.bin, h.bin and the folder with the tiff, since

you will need those the next time you do a hard reset and want to run the program again.



Note2: Once the program is loaded, it is independant of the memory stick contents. So you can

freely swap memory sticks.

Seriously, both men have done tremendous things for teh homebrew scene. Just because 0okm didn't create this downgrader doesn't mean he is any less of a great person.





P.S., I'd also like to thank everyone involved with making this downgrader. I just used it and didn't brick, and am now looking at a 1.5 PSP. Thank you all.

# I would say yes.Ewin24 2006-12-27 10:03
There has been at least 3 confirmations of this throughout these ol' hills of comments...I'd give you the green light pal. And from someone who has OE-B and FF Tactics and Metal Gear Solid runnign on it...it's totally worth the risk.

PS. Tell me if it works for you.

# Enjoy!Guest 2006-12-27 10:11
This is unbelievable!



My story begins with a psp with firmware 2,5 and then I discovered Homebrew/iso and hacks but still updated to 2,6 to play my game that i bhought.. Then updating to 2,71 for stupid locoroco.. Then AGAIN updating to 2,8 cus of some other games.. But I stayed there, didnt updated.. Waited and waited and finally a 2,8 downgrader gets out! I couldnt wait it took 1min and I was allready downgrading.. Saw the incredible 3,02 oe-a and installed it.. ALL THANKX TO DARK_ALEX!! He has made almost all the downgraders out there..! and even more.. I even thought he worked at Sony! could someone tell me if he does? Anyway hes a really good coder and I hope he still continue.. And Dark_alex enjoy your life everyone loves you!

I was on firmware 1.5 for a looong time. Then I was on Custom 1.5.

Then I upgraded to DaX's 2.71 SE's, and the 3.02 OE's.

Best decision i've ever made on my PSP. GO MAN. It's perfect and wonderful and 5,000,000,000x better then 1.5.

# yes,Guest 2006-12-27 10:25
just stick the 3.02 oe-a update in the same folder as

the official 3.02 update then run the 3.02 update and when its half way updating turn your psp off and then turn it back on. then your psp will start up and continue the update installing 3.02 oe-a files.



thats how i did it.

Why do I make you sad? Because I'm not going to 3.02 OE-B yet? I want to, but I just want to know if the things that held back TA-082 from normally downgrading would also interfere with it going to a custom firmware.





Plus, the instructions for 3.02 OE-A are a little confusing to me.

# Try thisGuest 2006-12-27 10:45
Check your system settings to make sure HEN-D is running (firmware will be 2.71 HEN-D). If not, go to the HEND folder in Photos and start it up (using Start, or Triangle then Slideshow). If it freezes, just reboot your PSP. Once HEN-D is running, the IdStorage should work.

Are you sure HEN-D is loading? If it's sucessful, the blue screen (and green if it's the first boot) will show up, then after 3-4 seconds the screen will go black, and then your PSP will reboot. If that isn't what happens, just keep trying; I've had it take almost ten tries before it finally loaded normally. Just keep trying to load HEN-D untill it loads and reboots your PSP, then you should be good to go.

Many thanks to: HarleyG, Mathieulh, Dark_Alex and not to forget 0okm, for his PSP work, there is NO such thing in the DEV world that sounds: i'm better than you because i developped A and you only developped B.



0okm did a wonderfull job, releasing his 2.80 downgrader.

Dax did so much work so good, i can't still believe it.

# hend D installedGuest 2006-12-27 13:20
sounds like you did installed it but you need to run it now.

power down the psp (until is completely off)

wait 10 sec (to be on the safe side)

start it up again (make sure no UMD in drive)

go to "hend" folder in "photo"

you should see a "BLUE" screen and then the psp will restart into the xmb

NOW, you are running hend...

now try to downgrade according to instructions



good luck and let me know how it goes

# Another Confirmation for 1.5Guest 2006-12-27 13:22
Confirmation that a FW2.5 TA-082 was downgraded to FW1.5.



Update to 2.71 first and use as directed.



Although 1.5 is wonderful, I'm sure we're all waiting to see if 3.02 OE-B works. Excellent work from DAX as usual.

my t 82 came with 2.6 out of the box. just used the downgrader and updated to 3.02 oeb. i was told you could not go back to 1.5 using recovery mode. if that isn't possible what about a firmware that is 2.6 or higher. i know t 82s will accept firmware 2.5 or higher.

Is there any point in my case? I can use HenD and DevHook to emulate 1.5 so I can run emulators. That's all I really want to do, run PSP games, music, movies, and NES, SNES, Genesis, and N64 emulators and everything inbetween.



I guess I'm asking: is 1.5 or even that custom firmware so great that I should try it?

# problem with update.pbpGuest 2006-12-27 14:22
Okay, so I got all the way to the downgrader part but when I try running that it says that it cannot find update.pbp when I already have it in the UPDATE folder. Was I supposed to replace the eboot.pbp that was already in the UPDATE folder when I copied that and idstoragechange into the GAME folder? It says to copy the 1.5 eboot into the update folder, so should I put it in replacing the one there and then rename it to UPDATE.pbp? This whole process is confusing and frustrating the **** out of me.

# Can it be downgraded back to 1.50axelixc 2006-12-27 14:46
This is a very important question which I think all TA-082 users need to know before they upgrade to 3.02 OE-B.



If OE-B recovery not compatible with TA-082, you cannot I repeat you CANNOT downgrade back to 1.50 or reflash the 3.02 OE-B if u semi-brick it at OE-B level.



Also I strongly believe that when n if OE-C comes out, maybe OE-B user need to reinstall all over again to update to OE-C. So my point here is, if you can't downgrade back, how to update to OE-C. Then you will stuck at OE-B for a long long time.



Please someone or more ppl answer my concern. We need more solid confirmation here.

# Remember the "idstoragechange "axelixc 2006-12-27 15:28
each n every ta-082 ic1003 has certain unique id n is recognised only by itself. when attempt downgrading using previous method that bricked the psp, it's bcoz the method didn't hv idstorageshange r application.



Now with this new downgrader, it contains idstoragechange folder. 1st the idstoragechange r will change the ic1003 unique id to a more friendly version like the ta-079 n 081 model. after tat, ic-1003 will think tat itself is the ta-079 or 081 n so approve the 1.50 bootstrap thus allow the downgrade process.



Now the problem is after u upgrade to 3.02oe-b, will the unique id change? if i change, u cant downgrade back. so u will stuck in 3.02 oe-b for quite sometime.

i read few users confirmed 3.02oe-b can downgrade back to 1.50. so it seems the idstoragechange thing is a permanent fixer for ta-082. wat i mean is it fixes the ta082 unique id permanently to function like ta-079 or 081. so this is really free up all the curse of 082.

it has been confirmed over at maxconsole.com that some guys over there said they successfully downgrade 3.02oe-b back to 1.50. so it means when using the idstoragechange to downgrade from 7.2 to 1.50, it set the id permanently n won't change.

# ...Guest 2006-12-28 02:59
My guess is that you are trying to run the eLoader or something, but 1.50 doesn't have tiff support, therefore no tiff homebrew(launch ers) either, so you'll just have to go straight to the game menu :P

It could also be so that you have 1.00 homebrew (which I believe were compatible with eLoader and xLoader). On 1.50 you need Kxploited homebrews, btw just get IR Shell, from there you can start non Kxploited homebrew.

# All you need, Did it for a friend:)Guest 2006-12-28 03:29
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=B933OD0K I put this file for my friend in Canada together, its got all you need in it ready to DG from 2.71, and then upgrade to 3.02 OE-B. Copy the folder into the root of the Memory stick. Goto the Picture folder and run HenD. Once it reboots goto game and Run the IDstorage changer, when that reboots then run the x.yz downgrader. When it restarts, Press O, It will restart.(If not, you have a brick). move the DATA.DXAR file from root of the psp into the /PSP/GAME/302oeflasher/. Then run the OE-A flasher. Finally, Once it restarts, goto game, and run the OE-B updater. Don't forget to restore to default settings, else X-Flash won't work. Only tested the network disable Icon, nothing else in X-Flash was tested by me. Happy Gaming, all credit goes to the creators:) (you better know who)

Reply
 

 
# nopeGuest 2006-12-28 03:36
No I don't believe recovery mode works because the recovery mode rolls back to FW 1.5 which is still technically "unsupported" by TA-082 and won't install without the D_A downgrader. Though someone mentioned maybe it'd work if you replaced the 1.5 file with 2.71. Don't know about that though.

So.. I got my psp from my fiance as a birthday present in July. It came out of the box with a TA-082 motherboard and 2.60 firmware. After doing some research on QJ, I found out I was pretty much screwed. Sure, there was the GTA exploit, but so what.. I couldn't run devhook. I knew I should never update though. So I waited, and waited. Then, HEN came out a few months ago for 2.71, and it was the biggest thing since sliced bread (for a TA-082 user) Running devhook was awesome. Last night, I come onto QJ, do some reading, and spend about 20-30 min making my PSP the best it can be. 2.71 to 1.50, 1.50 of 3.02 OE-A, 3.02 OE-A to OE-B. I couldn't believe it worked. I followed the instructions word for word, and everything worked like a charm. Thank you Dark_Alex & co., your work is very much appreciated by all of us TA-082 users who were successful in "upgrading"!

Another confirmation for those who are still afraid of whether this works: This IS the real deal. I originally had a 2.5 TA-82, upgraded to 2.6, then to 2.71 where I've been using HEN-D to run all of my homebrew. I was a little scared to try this, that's for sure, but I went ahead and used this to get to 1.5, and then upgraded to 3.2oe and then 3.2oe-B. Life has never been so good :D Thanks Dark-Alex, you're the man!

# THE GOD OF THE PSPGuest 2006-12-28 11:10
Even though i don't have TA-082, I think that DAX is THE BEST psp programmer arround. 0omk is good but he is an ass as he finds stuff but never shares the information. I am running 3.02 OE-B But this is still good for the TA-082 Owners. I am happy for you and hope that you don't brick your PSPs.

# problem running 2.81 demos on ta-082 2.71->1.5->3.02oe-bGuest 2006-12-28 13:59
So I have downgraded my ta-082 to 1.5 and then upgraded to

3.02 oe-a-> 3.02oe-b.

Decided to try to test if ridge racer 2 demo (this is for 2.81 fw) would work

(see download section on qj).

As usual placed it in PSP/GAME.

It does not work - the screen goes black

Could somebody test this on his 3.02oe-b ta-082?

# dark-alex.org is fakeGuest 2006-12-28 15:11
Dark-alex.org is an imposter. Don't you remeber reading aout the brickers people downloaded? You want dax.lan.st



DAX.LAN.ST is DAX's site. All others are imposters.



Dark_AleX is amazing, but alot of people who work on devs and release source code are unsong heroes as well. Let's not forget Noobz.eu

okay dude...this is what you do...on the topic page (where you read the article) there should be 3 blue links at the bottom, one will be a 1.5 update, hen-d, and idstorage...download all of them...then extract the 1.5 file and rename it to UPDATE.PBP, then run HEN-D, run the idstorage thing, then run the update, took me altogether about 2min it was really fast, most likely cuz 1.5 has LESS stuff than 2.71

# Ta-082 questionGuest 2006-12-28 21:34
New to the PSP seen been a PS2 modder since it came out.

Just bought a PSP for my daughter and found this ta-082 downgrader (WOOT) thx to DA you da man!! I downgraded last night and all went smooth thx to the excellent instructions! My question is now that it says it's version 1.50 is it still a TA-082 1.50 or is it now an official 1.50 if u understand what i'm sayin??



I see on the 2.71 version I could load a picture then set it as a wallpaper background but with 1.50 it does not have that option is there a way to do that with the 1.50?



Any info would be great...

-------------------------------------------------------------------



I do hace a TA-082 by tha way.



I CANT BELIEVE IT FINALLY HAPENED TO US TOO!!!!

YAY!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Before I go any further, I want to know if it is possible to fix a psp once it gets bricked.

(Does it void my warranty??... )(I would assume as mutch...)



---------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems that 99.9 % of tha people that have these psp's got it to work....so....Im already a big time hacker,

But Im New to Homebrew...And this does work right?

What about upgradeing to 3.02 OE-A Afterwards?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

What Im shooting for is to be able to run Iso's off of my memory stick pro duo (2GB)

Im not really all that interested in emulateing anything really..

# Problem with my psp help.Guest 2006-12-31 22:22
I gave my psp 2.71 Ta-082 to have it downgraded, but It did not work and now I think its bricked. Its a black screen the green light comes on but no sound for it pwering up. To switch off the psp I have to hold the power button for 5 seconds before its switched off.

I then went a puchased a new motherboard 1.5 from Japan. I have the same problem. So either I have bought a bricked motherboard which I cannot test in another psp or there is another problem with it.

If any has experience the same problem, I look forward from hearing from you.

i have a 2.50 TA-082 and i am wondering if i could upgrade to 2.71 then downgrade to 1.5 with this program?

# I have a Question...Guest 2007-01-01 15:19
- The generic downgrader will also need 75% battery. IT will downgrade your psp to 1.50.



- At the end, it will ask you to press X to restart the psp. Do it.



- If all went fine, you'll receive a blue screen telling you to press O. Do it, and reenter your settings.

Welcome to 1.50.



------------------------------------------------------------------------



I ran hen-D and then Rand the Id storagechange, All went fine but then when I execute the downgrader,

It shows the PSP thingie (Color splash thingie, that fades awat into blackness and it says it needs 75% battery, and then exits to the XMB???

When I check System settings, it says under firmware2.71 HEN-D.....

Its not bricked... Everythings fine.... WTF???

# WTF?Guest 2007-01-01 16:04
The program will exit to the XMB. Now execute the generic downgrade, which will show in the xmb

as "Update X.YX" in the psp language.



----------------------------------------------------------------



My upgrade file in my game folder, Shows on my PSP as PSP Update Ver. X.YZ??

is this right.... Did Justin B. Make a mistake above???



HELPPPPPPPP!!!! !!



HEY...........Wait a sec.....My battery is at 55%!!!

Does it need to be charged to 75% in the system even tuough I have it plugged into the wall....................

.....Ill charge it to 100% and then Execute the downgrade.



Wish me Luck!!

# ANOTHER successGuest 2007-01-02 10:35
just wanted to confirm another success but I still might have to return mine...the umd quit working before I upgraded and figured I would try this out and it wouldn't matter if it didn't I still needed to return it.



I'm hoping that the 3.02 oe-b will play my backed up umd's without having one in the drive as then I really have no need for the umd drive anymore. Can anyone confirm the direct loading of iso's from oe-b doesn't need a umd in the drive? thanks to DA and all his crew, I have had my psp for about a month and found out the day after I bought mine about the homebrew scene...and that I had a dreaded ta-82 mb, but now I can enjoy all the greatest everyone has to offer!!!

# directions460cidpower 2007-01-03 03:08
Ok, I was VERY scared to try this, as I bought my PSP on-line, so if I bricked it, I couldn't get another one. I used the "easy" downloader and it worked perfectly.



I wrote down how I did it:



First I went here: http://ul59.rapidshare.com/files/9174187/2.71_TA-082_EASY_Downgrader_0.1_by_csfreakno1.zip and downloaded the file.



1. I then extracted the files to my hard drive.



2. I connected my PSP to my PC and backed up ALL my files off of my memory stick to my hard drive.



3. I formatted my memory stick.



4. I made sure I had a full 100% battery and pulled out the UMD disk that was in my UMD drive.



5. I connected my PSP to my PC



6. I ran 2.71_TA-082_-_1.50.exe from my hard drive



7. WinRAR self-extractor popped up, I made the destination folder my PSP's memory stick drive letter, mine is drive "J"



8. after all the files transferred over, I shut my PSP off fully by holding down the off button for 6 seconds.



9. upon the PSP rebooting I went to the photo menu in the PSP, then pressed "X" on the photo named HEND.



10. My PSP rebooted. DO NOT TRY TO DOWNGRADE YET! COMPLETLY TURN OFF THE PSP, THEN RUN 'HEND" again! (HEND is funny, you need to run it at least twice because the very first time it runs, it does something, I don't know what)



11. Once it reboots, then you can run the "idstoragechange ", once it runs, press X.



12. once the PSP reboots, you can run the "Update X.YX"



13. Once the update is done, you will get a blue error screen, just press "O"



14. that should be it



This is not an end all be all guide, some of the steps might not be clear. I am not liable if my instructions are wrong. That is the steps I used.

# yes yes yesGuest 2007-01-03 03:47
succesful downgrade from my noobish ass. Remember to do slideshow with hen d and not just go into the folder cause the idstorage and the downgrader cant launch without it even though it tells u that u got hen d.



love u dark alex

And this TA-082 downgrader that was posted, can anyone else say that it works 100%?



I already brought my TA-082 from 2.8 to 2.71 and now I'm just even more weary with going from 2.71 to 1.5. Sorry for all the precautions, this is crazy stuff!

# dark alex is the ***** from australiaGuest 2007-01-06 06:03
word of advice



if you DONT want a brick



make SURE you have hen d running



before you run the downgrader go to

system settings/system information and next to to system software:versio n 2.71 it must say hen d next to this!

e.g:system software version 2.71hen d



hope this helps

Your guide help me a lot, and I would like to say to those that doesn't know where is the numbers: open de UMD, inside it close to the L bottom is the code for the mortherboard. If your Motherboard says IC1003 you have the TA-082 and you shoul use this guide.

# Im a stupid FOOL!! Buggered HEN-D and Downgrade!Guest 2007-01-08 14:27
Hi everyone,



Believe it or not - I think Im the only person to have forgotten to copy the TXT files (that are needed the first time only) to the root.



I ran HEN-D - screen went RED, thought all was well, but now when I re-run it, the PSP powers off and will not load HEN-D into the memory hence I cant downgrade.



Ive waited SOOOO long for this and buggered it at the last minute.



I'm right in thinking its written to the firmware but not used / written to the missing TXT files so now there's no way I can downgrade?



Christ I feel so stupid! Ive tried everything - formatting the MS, returning to factory defaults, hard reset etc. etc. but its no good!!

# Borked itGuest 2007-01-09 06:12
Well, I followed the directions, and it borked my display. The screen now takes like 60 seconds to display, and whenever I press any button on the interface it, goes blank and starts all over again. This was a v2.71 with a TA-082 MB. Luckily, this is my second PSP, so I still have a 1.5 system.



Definitely try this at your own risk.

# Followup: IT WORKED!!Guest 2007-01-09 06:31
While I was busy breathing heavily, practicing the excuses I was planning to give the Walmart customer service guy when I took this unit back to exchange, I pulled the battery from the unit and let it set for a few minutes. When I put the battery back in, and powered up, the same behavior--it started blank, but the screen came on after about 60 seconds. Each time I pressed a navigation arrow, the screen went blank and started all over again. I continued trying to explain the reasons I was returning it to my yet-to-be-encountered customer service guy, and continued to pull the battery, let it set, and power it back on.



Eventually, the screen came on and stayed on!! I navigated to the System Info, and, low and behold, it's a 1.5 PSP!!! I installed a homebrew game, and it ran!!



Although my heart is still racing, my greatest and humblest thanks to Dark Alex for giving me another 1.5 PSP. You, sir, are the man. :)
