Dark_AleX's Generic Downgrader- Now Downgrade to any PSP firmware from 2.71!

Posted Oct 5, 2006 at 1:26PM by QJ Staff Listed in: Firmware, Hacks & Exploits, News Tags: Dark-AleX, downgrade, downgrader, Matrix, memory stick, TA-082

One of the commentors on our frontpage once said, "If the PSP is the Matrix, then Dark_AleX is Neo." And going by the latest developments, it wouldn't be very far from the truth. A few months ago, the PSP scene was "dying". Although homebrew development had been going strong, it still felt like we were going nowhere. New firmwares, blocked homebrew...It had become a regular game. Then came some cracking times (pun intended ;), with the wave of exploits from people like Hitchhikr and NOPX86, and many many more.

The "scene" was resurrected within a few days, and look where we are today! And keeping it going strong is none other than Dark_AleX. If you've found it difficult to use the downgrader, with all the messing around with dumps, or if you've been left out because you couldn't find a dump, Dark_AleX has just made all of it a piece of cake. Now no messing around with dumps, checking to see if it's the correct one. The latest downgrader by Dark_AleX allows you to downgrade your 2.71 PSP to any version upto 1.5.

For the TA-082 owners, the lowest you can go is 2.50. Do not try to downgrade below that, your PSP will brick 100%. Please make sure that you're not running a TA-082 before trying to downgrade below 2.50.

So how does it work? Well, all you need is Dark_AleX's 2.71 Homebrew Enabler Rev.C, and the EBOOT.PBP file of the firmware you want to downgrade to. So you can downgrade from a 2.71 to just about every other firmware including 1.50,2.0,2.01,2.50 and 2.60. And luckily for everyone here, those files can be shared legally. Plus, you can simply download them off our server here. Just select the update file of the firmware you want to downgrade to, and slap the files on your PSP's memory stick. Below is a list of firmwares which we recommend in case you're downgrading. Just click on the respective version to download it.

Firmware Versions

1.50 - 2.0 - 2.01 - 2.50 - 2.60

Instructions:

Download Homebrew Enabler for FW 2.71 using the Link below.
Follow the instructions here to first flash the Homebrew Enabler on your 2.71 FW
Once done, reboot your PSP and run the Homebrew Enabler using the Photo Menu.
Now simply extract the files in the downgrader archive below to your PSP and paste the EBOOT.PBP file of the updater into the PSP/GAME/UPDATE folder.
Now just run the updater using the Game menu!

Here's what Dark_AleX had to say:

"This downgrader lets a psp running firmware 2.71 and HEN C to downgrade to any version from 1.50-2.60, or even reflash the 2.71 version. This downgrader is safer, faster, and a lot easier to use than the previous downgraders. It also makes a clean firmware install, since this time there is a format of flash0 (just like sce updaters do). A firmware dump is not needed, only the eboot.pbp of an update.

Ta-082 users can downgrade to 2.70/2.60/2.50. TA-082 users, DO NOT downgrade below 2.50.

The program is finished and working. Only a bit more of testing is done and it will be released in a couple of hours more or less."

So all of you who've been waiting for a simple solution, I don't believe there can be one simpler than this. If you're still on 2.5/6, you can safely update to 2.71 and either wait it out for more homebrew, or downgrade to 1.5...But looking at all these developments, I feel that 2.71 might just just replace 1.50 as the golden firmware soon. Anyways, enough of talk, here's the download link below. Enjoy!

# The Real Matrix — Guest 2006-10-05 09:19

This was beta Matrix, the real one is 2.80. Dark_AleX go for it! ; D

# So in summary.. — Guest 2006-10-05 09:21

..until PSPs start shipping from the factory with 2.8 (if they haven't already), any PSP bought today can do pretty much anything.

TA-082 can run devhook and emulate 1.5, so basically there's little difference in having that or true 1.5 (which I have).

# downdater 2.80??? — Guest 2006-10-05 09:22

# wow — Guest 2006-10-05 09:28

dax...incredible. the hb scene is forever grateful for all of your useful and non-bs releases. where was this before? also, is there a possibility that this may be used on 1.5 psp's as an addition to PoC custom firmware? it would be a great failsafe to update then downgrade so easily using a eboot instead of a fw dump in case of a recovery menu brick scenario. just an idea. again...incredible work. gracias.

Nice stuff! But it still does not support fw 2.8

Maybe its time to explore 2.8 more? 2.80 does support the TIFF exploit... y dont make an eloder through it then? Suddenly all the tiff homebrew games stopped :(

Please male more tiff games and applications, maybe an eloader as well...

he's tied with booster and noobz :)

can't wait for 2.71 to not emulate 1.5, but run 2.71 with full kernel et all. like a 1.5

this is the only step missing, and ofcourse the 2.8 dgs

You are now offically my hero :D.

Good work. Even though I have a psp with 1.5 I have another which my friend gave me with 2.8. It would be awsome to be able to use both my psp's for homebrew :D.

Keep up the good work...wait...good? No im sorry, I meant

Keep up the AWSOME work

# 2.8 will have its day — Guest 2006-10-05 10:18

You make it sound like these things are easy to make and can be done in a matter of minutes. Exploring and hacking 2.8 with the extra security or different protection it has will take more time.

# # 22 — Guest 2006-10-05 10:26

# 22

No, TA-082 cannot be downgraded to 1.5. It isn't really necessary anymore as 2.71 can run devhook, and therefore emulate 1.5 for all of your homebrew needs.

i dont know about you guys this is so Freakin awesome! you downgrade from 2.71 to any firmware i mean altough it's been released before this is still F()cking awesome! i mean if u have a Ta-082 sure u cant downgrade to 1.5 but still, though most ppl think it was a scam (i kinda do too), you can downgrade to 2.5 and use ookm's thing ( i know it's been stopped) but everyone know that WHATEVER you do DON'T UPGRADE! but with dark alex it's cool, be noobz under 2.71 if u want, i got ur back got a 2.5 and want to taste flash? do it. i'm tired of 2.71 i want my 2.5 back, let me downgrade! this is really cool! (sucks for me, i got 2.80 but rocks for u guys and i'm happy for u 2.71- owners, rocks for everyone cuz it's step further to making this homebrew community BIGGEr and defenately BADASS!)

# Curious about some things? — Guest 2006-10-05 11:08

#38 said can't downgrade to 2.70 and #42 gave some advice on downgrading lower than that and then upgrading to 2.70. My question is, why would you want to do that? What's so special about 2.70?

My second question is, why was firmware 2.71 released? I know that firmware 2.81 for example was released to take care of the tiff exploit problem.

My third question is, why are so many things possible with firmware 2.71? I would think that it would be easier to hack the firmware before that, which is 2.70?

Just wondering about these things and would appreciate the answers. Thanks in advance.

"I feel that 2.71 might just just replace 1.50 as the golden firmware soon. "

Um wtf? Why will the 2.71 firmware replace 1.5? I don't get it! This just looks like a downgrader, what's the point of upgrading to 2.71 so I can downgrade again? Or does this emulate 1.5? Ugh >_

# Misleading title. — Guest 2006-10-05 11:39

The title is kind of misleading although theres a warning in red it should read "now downgrade any psp firmware from 2.71" instead of "downgrade to any firmware from 2.71".

Well goodjob Dark Alex for another great release. This will certainly help those people who cannot find dumps of firmware.

# QUESTION MARK!!!!!!!! — Guest 2006-10-05 11:53

Ok, so I'm at 2.61 right now (I think) but the latest firmware update is 2.81

So I'm wondering

Can I update to 2.71 by manually downloading the EBOOT for 2.71? Or will it automatically try to upgrade me to 2.81?

Then from 2.71 I can go right down to 1.5 right?

Thanks for the help. It's actually my friend that has 2.71, I already have a VIRGIN 1.50. I know there's full 1.50 homebrew support on it, but he wanted to put ISOs on it. Lol, yeah, it's illegal, I told him, but he still wants to downgrade. Well, I'll tell him the news before he bricks his PSP!

# @62 — Guest 2006-10-05 14:11

NO! You cannot downgrade a TA-82 to a 1.5, you WILL brick it. Just use HEN C to emulate 1.5, and you can do everything that a 1.5 can do. If you try downgrading your brother's psp to 1.5, he is going to be out $200.

i would like to know why it says that a ta-082 psp cant be downgraded past 2.50. there were ta-082 motherboards running 1.51 firmware in asia. i thought that the ipl for 1.5 is the only one that was blocked on ta-082's.

# in short, it works — jait 2006-10-05 14:54

I took my 1.5 and upgraded to 2.71. I installed the HenC. I added the downgrader and the 1.5 eboot renamed to UPDATE.PBP. I then ran the UPDATE X.Y.whatever and got the same corrupt settings hit O to continue that I expected. The instructions were clear and well written. Dark_Alex, many good feelings to you and yours.

Fanjita is worthless compared to dark alex.

While fanjita struggles to make a decent eloader, dark alex did all that before him and then some.

I once had faith in fanjita, but he hasn't made any decent contribution for a long time.

Moron, don't you know fanjita is working on something for 2.5/2.6 to enable homebrew on them, he said something about it doing the same stuff as DAX's method but by different means/method, possibly a PERMANENT one, so you coud downgrade to that FW and have permanent HW access from there.

# is god among us??? — bouks69 2006-10-05 19:38

hey all...

i just cant stop thinkin that this dark_Alex whoever he is, is definitely a real PSP god!!!

i was wondering if there was anyway to support him (paypal would be appreciated :p)

have fun guys!

PS: Thanks to him and the 1.5 version, i just cant stop tweakin my PSP

# Everybody read the readme! — Guest 2006-10-05 20:14

The guide on this page misses that you need to rename EBOOT.PBP file to UPDATE.PBP and then put it in the UPDATE folder.

# Good work — Risi-37 2006-10-05 20:23

Good work Dark_alex

# fanjita — pspizzle 2006-10-05 20:43

stop cussing fanjita you bell ends, I would like to see you make e=loader from scratch.

# Same old — Guest 2006-10-05 21:23

Same as every news item these days.

10% of the comments are from 2.8 people whining for a downgrader, who still don't seem to understand that there's no way of making a 2.8 downgrader at the moment.

10% of the comments of people saying it's useless because it's not something else that they wanted.

10% of the comments are from people that obviously didn't read anything other than the title of the article.

10% of us complaining about the complainers (guilty)

10% of the people posting about stuff that has nothing to do with the news items

Everyone else at least posting on topic, but about 50% of that being dribble as well.

Not sure why I even read the comments any more, they're 100% predictable.

As for the news item. Simply brilliant!!

for 2.8 users dont curse cause psp's gods doing this for free. we should gladfull they are working for psp scene.

for others, dont compares the programmers or insult them u have no rights

# A suggestion — Guest 2006-10-06 02:23

This is only a suggestion, but it may work as a means to downgrade 2.8 to firmware 2.71. Basically what we need someone to do is edit the 2.81 firmware update so that instead of flashing the firmware 2.81 contents it flashes firmware 2.71's content, but keeps the part of the 2.81 firmware that makes it run, so that it will be accepted by fw2.8 psp's, as they will think it's the proper upgrade. Its only a suggestion, and may not work, but there's every chance that it could.

# plz — Guest 2006-10-06 02:38

Use Dark_AleX's HEN Revision C , then Use 2.71 HEN compatible Devhook to emulate FW 1.5. It works on mine.

# #98 — Guest 2006-10-06 04:26

it worked on mine all you have to do is install the homebrew enabler and do everything it says in the readme go to the game folder and start the update and now i have 1.5!!!!!!!!

# SHUT UP! — Guest 2006-10-06 05:53

for Gods sake, all you people wanting a 2.8 downgrader, f*****g cram it, we were all told it's impossible, and you should have thought about you before you upgraded.

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

# UPDATE — Guest 2006-10-06 05:57

# YEAH @119 — Guest 2006-10-06 05:59

i agree man...

its all your foults you ******** who updated their FW to v2.81 or v2.80...

i donno what the hell was so special abt v2.81? its all of your problems.... you shouldnt updated your FW ... now shut up and just wait.... maybe there will be no downgrader come out for v2.80 or v2.81...

and v3.0 is gonna come out... so just dont update your psp to v3.0 if u want homebrew....

# AYUDA!!! HELP — Guest 2006-10-06 06:15

# in defense of 2.8 — Guest 2006-10-06 06:17

At the time firmware 2.8 came out there was little in the way of downgrades for the higher firmwares, and no prospects of ever running homebrew on 2.71. So lots of people, myself included, updated believing they would never be able to run homebrew anyway, so they may as well upgrade.

# well help for noobz??? — Guest 2006-10-06 06:19

well k noobz here is a big and easy help

all the files are at here

http://www.black-chronos.net/updateflasher271-full.zip

just copy them to your psp (say yes to all to re-write)

and just run the photo first(sometimes will freeze, and if u run it at first u need to get a blue screen. if u get red just keep trying)

and thats all from me...

good luck ;)

Ta-082 People, DO Not Downgrade to 2.50

I just downgrade from 2.71 to 2.50 and now I can’t upgrade back up to 2.71!!!!!

I get an error message “The update cannot be started The data is corrupted (IOE90000001)” every time I try to upgrade.

I tried every thing, formatting memory stick, reset to original, even try to upgrade to 2.60 first, still same damn message. Someone Please Help!!!!

# to ryno : #23 — Zephyrus 2006-10-06 08:37

yes, this works on IC6001 because only IC1003 are ta-082 and above motherboards, any others are not. IC6001 is a ta-081 motherboard, so it works. ^^

Anyway if anybody is confused, I made a full package:

http://www.black-chronos.net/updateflasher271-full.zip

(bundled with HEN C and detailed instructions! ^_^)

# to SAM @ #129 — Zephyrus 2006-10-06 08:44

I guess it's just your luck.. because there was no need to downgrade to 2.5 at all.. it was only meant as a proof of concept for ta-082ers.. and the restriction of not being able to update to 2.71 is because of your motherboard.. too bad, I guess.. To everyone else out there, thanks to SAM, you're going to stop yourself from doing stupid things. ^^

# 2.5 dongrade — Guest 2006-10-17 22:02

Hey, have beeen watching and reading the forums and waiting for just this perfect downgrader to appear. Just one question though, do i have to upgrade from my 2.5 to the 2.71 firmware before i can d/grade to 1.50 with this new Dark Alex method or can i do this straight on a 2.5 , also is it okay to format the duo stick in the psp and then install the files directly onto it from my slot on Vaio lappy, then run on the psd.

Thanks

Rico

Hey guyz, this is awesome i rekon but since im noob, its obvious i have some questions. First of all for the instructions to FIRST flash it on your psp, i do not understand this instruction "Go to the PHOTO viewer of the XMB and enter in the folder "HENB"." If u do have answer to this, which im sure most of u do, add cartoons22@hotm ail.com and ... there are no other questions =D

# ? — Guest 2006-10-18 03:57

ive got 1.5 on my psp when i go down and click on it it says no need to update .but ive got 2.01 how do i get 1.5 help plzzz

# Version 2.60 - Getting to play games from memory stick — Guest 2006-10-18 04:46

Greetings,

I have a white PSP ver 2.60(WHITE), think it's japanese. I would like to be able to run homebrew and smaller older games like tetris. I am just very confused about how to downgrade, and get full use out of my pc.

Thanks,

Andrew

# questions... and must be answered — Guest 2006-10-19 00:44

yo! Dark_AleX the Firmware links you gave says North America... Will these "eboots" work on japanese version PSPs. Worried about bricking...

# Yes — tednol 2006-10-20 04:15

Yes, although you needn't use this Generic Downgrader. Simply use the recovery system built into the firmware. See the readme that came with the firmware for details, but it's easy.

# Problem — Guest 2006-10-20 11:59

Ok so..I followed all the steps and when I go to run the EBOOT thing in my games>upgrades folder it says " The system software of your psp is version 2.71.There is no need to update" What did I do wrong/What should I do?

# help meeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeee — Guest 2006-10-21 22:52

i do all according manual but, when i start update in game MS, it writes me "the system software of your psp system is version 2.71. there is no need to update"..................plsplspls help what can i do???

# it bricked my psp — Guest 2006-10-22 04:43

PANIC:ERROR WRITING IPL and now my psp just turns on with a green light. I did this on mt friens 2.71 with henc and she ended up with 1.5 but it bricked my psp.

# u suck m*n — Guest 2006-10-22 04:44

# Game could not be started? — Guest 2006-10-22 08:48

There is a problem. When It restarts it says this

"The game could not be started.

(800201148)"

What is the problem?

# 2.80 — Guest 2006-10-24 11:13

A 2.80 downgrader should be out soon. Ever wonder why Sony released 2.81 fw? It's not because of those useless tiff "games". It's because they saw a potential downgrader. Just don't upgrade past 2.80, and you'll be ok.

# Im new to hacking and to PSP — Guest 2006-10-24 13:24

Like a moron i upgraded to 2.8 :( what can i do now if anything?

H E L P ! ! !

thanx!

# japanese PSP — Guest 2006-10-25 21:12

Can somebody tell me if I can use this downgrader to downgrade my Japanese PSP?

Thanks a lot!

# WORK ON 2.8!!!! — Guest 2006-10-26 07:51

We need 2.8 to be downgraded work on that more and let 2.71 be for a while. All of us 2.8 fw people are stuck in the gray zone with no new tiff games and a lack of a downgrader or ebooter. Cmon guys you can do it I know you can.

# HORAY! — Guest 2006-10-26 18:43

I did it! Someone in my one of my classes updated my PSP with a game that required a higher firmware. I was mighty pissed but I came home and searched the net for a solution. I came across this and took the dive! And it worked successfully! Easy instructions, quick, and most of all...functional. I'd recommend it again. If you need help. Message my myspace.
