Improved 2.80 Downgrader released by Noobz!

Posted Jan 14, 2007 at 4:22PM by QJ Staff Listed in: Firmware, Hacks & Exploits, Homebrew Development Tags: Dark-AleX, Easy Downgrader, Fanjita, Mathieulh, Noobz, TA-082

The Noobz team (with help from Mathieulh and Dark_Alex) has just announced and released an improved version of Dark_Alex's 2.80 downgrader with 2.80 HEN support as well! Previously, HEN was only usable on firmware 2.71 but the Noobz team has worked their magic and ported it to firmware 2.80. So, a downgrader and a homebrew enabler in one announcement, what a nice present!

Apparently, a lot of people have been bugging for a stable, secure, and easy downgrader for 2.80 firmware. Well, the Noobz team never ceases to impress us and has released just that!

Using the recent 2.80 downgrader and the generic downgrader from Dark_Alex, the team has been able to create the "best" 2.80 downgrader. The great part about this downgrader is the fact that it uses the original 1.50 eboot file in order to downgrade, which will decrease the hassle of obtaining the 1.50 dump files. For all those TA-082 and TA-086 users, this downgrader will still work on your PSPs.

The Noobz team has also bundled a new homebrew enabler for the 2.80 firmware, eventhough the last one was only on 2.71. This 2.80 HEN will allow users that are afraid of downgrader to execute homebrew on their 2.80 firmware (TA-082/86 supported). There's always a risk in downgrading if you do not follow the instructions, so please follow these instructions if you plan on downgrading -

Install the HEN files, by following the details in the readme.txt file.
Test that HEN is working fine, by running one of the bundled sample applications - e.g. the cube demo.
If you have a TA-082 or TA-086 PSP, run the "TA082 IdStorage Changer", via HEN, to patch your registry before downgrading.
Get a copy of the v1.5 upgrade EBOOT (e.g. from here) and copy it to the /psp/game/UPDATE/ folder on your memory stick, as UPDATE.PBP.
Start the"PSP Update ver X.YZ" program via HEN, and follow the instructions.
Congratulations, you now have a v1.5 PSP! :D

Great work Noobz and Dark_Alex's team! May the PSP community continue to thrive as you all help us! Also, big props to Fanjita for making an excellent chicken in a hard hat, his developer skills are rubbing off on his artistic talent now! Show your gratification for these great developers by saying so below in our comments; I'm sure they would appreciate it!

...The only thing with a positive rating when I got here was the "Advertising" column...

It's not about if you're going to use it, it's about kudos to guys that are donating their time to this kind of stuff...

Nice work once again, and keep it up!

# Well I was one of the first that downgraded but... — Rok 2007-01-14 12:51

# Calm down... — Rok 2007-01-14 13:08

Just downt update any new firmwares that will came out and wait, pray and check the news here on pspupdates :)

# i wish — Guest 2007-01-14 13:22

i wish i had this when i downgraded :( but at least i pulled through...just barely to 3.03 oe-b thanks for the great app noobz team keep up the great work i wondered what was up your sleeve after so long of no updating your site :)

# Sucess? — Guest 2007-01-14 13:27

So, has anyone tried it and with a success?

# dg — Guest 2007-01-14 13:29

is that safer than the easydowngrader?

i have a non ta-082 2.8 psp what dg to i use?

# 2.71 — Guest 2007-01-14 13:34

what about 2.71... ta-082 ?

# Wee — Guest 2007-01-14 13:36

I already downgraded with the easy downgrader, but this is sweet news.

Good job Noobz!

# If you have 2.71 — Bobtentpeg 2007-01-14 13:37

If you have 2.71 Use the DAX HEND 2,71 ta-082 Downgrader

# Yh — Bobtentpeg 2007-01-14 13:38

You guy can be asses. Man o Man.

Noobz team rocks and you guy need to be appreciative.

ANd yes, i downgraded my 3.03 Oe psp and uped to 2.8 to test it

it works,

# crap — edder2000 2007-01-14 13:43

too bad i have 3.03 oeb now, this is a huge step

# it worked! — Guest 2007-01-14 13:43

noobz, Dark_Alex, mathieulh, you guys rocks! I was a little scared of using ookm's down grader and even the one from klm soft. But when i saw this, i couldn't resist. I just succesfully downgraded with these instructions and files from 2.8 to 1.5 on my TA-082. woohoo! It was nice and easy. This is what i've been waiting for. nice work!

# My psp just keeps crashing — Guest 2007-01-14 13:47

Whenever I try to use the enabler It just shuts down...how many tries did it take you guys to get it to work? It's a 2.80 japanese psp 082 if that makes any difference

# nope — Guest 2007-01-14 14:05

noobz aint dead.

# bricked — Guest 2007-01-14 14:08

aww man i bricked my psp nooooooo what did i do wrong?????????????

# ... — Guest 2007-01-14 14:09

I read everything, I even reformatted the stick and recopied everything to it. It still either freezes and shuts down or actually starts readint ehe memory stick then freezes -_-

# Sorry to hear... — Guest 2007-01-14 14:16

That sucks...

You might have done nothing wrong, there is always a chance of bricking your psp with a downgrader.

# Cool — JsgetbusyLGZ14 2007-01-14 14:18

..now if only they came out with a 2.81 downgrader. Yes i wanted to play metal gear so i upgraded,thinki n there was a downgrader for 2.81 already. grr...PLEASE Noobz Team work on a 2.81 downgrader now so i can use homebrew again! ='[

# forgot — Guest 2007-01-14 14:24

oh shi* i know i bricked my psp i forgot to put the update for 1.5 in

# thanks — Guest 2007-01-14 14:25

I'll use the hen, still to pssy 2 use the dg.

which is kind of strange since ive used almost every other 1 out there.

# SUCCESS!!! — Guest 2007-01-14 14:25

Alright, the enabler finally loaded and I successfully downgraded my psp. I'm debating on whether I should up to a custom furnware...

# Any Illegal files? — Guest 2007-01-14 14:28

I know one of the easy downgraders used some illegal files or whatnot, is this the same or is this 100% legal?

# O.o — Guest 2007-01-14 14:29

Now, once they get a 2.81 downgrader, I'll be set.

# hey — Guest 2007-01-14 14:30

hey NMS how did you downgrade cuz i wanna too but im sorta scared to do it cuz you know the guy a couple of posts back bricked his so i want to do everything correctly thx

# sweet — Guest 2007-01-14 14:34

you honestly dg and the ug and then dg just to see if it works? thanks

# nooo — Guest 2007-01-14 14:35

there will not be a 2.81 downgrader for a long time

# be patient — mouse01 2007-01-14 14:38

that is what people said about all of the other firmwares. don't be discouraged Avyrex. just be patient and there will be something eventually. it is important that you don't upgrade in the mean time. the downgraders tend to come out in order of the firmwares. so you should be next in line if you just stay put.

# got a question — Guest 2007-01-14 14:40

on step 4 do u need to rename the EBOOT.PBP as UPDATE.PBP and what is the PSP Update ver X.YZ?

also I dont have a TA-082/086 psp so can I still downgrade?

im sorry im such a noob but I want to make everythings ok so I dont BRICK my psp

# thx — Guest 2007-01-14 14:41

i tell you that this dg works and people still on 2.80 should dg now thx to the people who made this possible now on 1.5 going to custom fw woooooooooooooo oooooooo

# Do It — Guest 2007-01-14 14:41

1.5's good, but 3.03 OE-B is better. You won't regret it!

--Databoy2k

# dang — Guest 2007-01-14 14:48

dang, i followed all the steps and my psp is now a brick

# thanks — Guest 2007-01-14 14:53

I'll use the hen, still to pssy 2 use the dg.

which is kind of strange since ive used almost every other 1 out there.

# crash — Guest 2007-01-14 15:00

ok am i slow or wtf?

wtf? how do i use hen d

why does it crash

how do i do it right wtf why dose it not work???

wtf?

# sucess!!!!!! — Guest 2007-01-14 15:05

yay,

now can i install 3.03 oe-a on my new 1.5?

PS: i didnt even know i had a ta- 082 until after i dg

# idiot — Guest 2007-01-14 15:08

stop lieing, #1 if you barely cared about your psp you would of checked.....20 times that all the files were there.

#2 no one would say "oh shi*" they would start spazzing out......

#3 i doubt that anything would even happen if u left the update eboot out, it most likely wouldnt even start.......

# wow.... — Guest 2007-01-14 15:09

stop renaming yourself and trying to scare otherp eop.e

# A couple quick questions. — Guest 2007-01-14 15:25

Do I need to convert UPDATE.PBP using PatchSFO, or do I just leave it alone? This page doesn't say to convert it, but I need to be sure. Also, there wasn't an UPDATE folder before; I had to make one. Is that okay? Sorry for the simple questions, but I don't want a brick.

# Odd, it didn't post my comment — Guest 2007-01-14 15:38

so I'll try again.

Couple quick questions: do I need to convert UPDATE.PBP using PatchSFO, or can I leave it alone? This article doesn't say anything about converting it, but I wanna be sure. Also, there wasn't an UPDATE folder in GAME before; I had to make one. Is that okay?

# what can a remove — Guest 2007-01-14 15:56

so... I've used this to go from 2.8 to 1.5 and then to 303 OE-A, 303 OE-A2 and 303 OE-B..

now, what is safe to delete? I've got all the update files in psp/game, psp/game150. Can i delete all of them?

# first what? — blackmobb 2007-01-14 15:57

What, you are the first gay guy to reply? You're right about that. Now back to the subject. Thank you very much Noobz team, I already have a 3.03 OE psp but I just bought a new one that came with 2.80 and this is a great help. Nice to know someone looking out for the psp noobs out there. (not that that's a bad thing to be a noob, just means you are new to it.) :)

# How about a... — Guest 2007-01-14 16:01

A 2.81 downgrader would be nice...

but it'll never happen...

you can laugh at meeee...now.

# does this work on any psp? — Guest 2007-01-14 16:03

does this work on any psp?

# Yes... — Guest 2007-01-14 16:04

Only if 2.80 or below, that's the requirements

# HUHUH — Guest 2007-01-14 16:07

awesome !!!

AHHH ***** !!!! I just bought a PSP and upgrade to 3.0

My life is over !!!!

PS: keep up good work and make downgrade for psp

# Dang... — Guest 2007-01-14 16:08

That sucks a lot.

# IDStorage Changer? — shane-s 2007-01-14 16:12

How do I use the IDStorage changer? Where is it and how do I get to it?

# WOW — Bobtentpeg 2007-01-14 16:15

STOP GOD DAMN SPAMMING

the kid how keeps writing about "bricking" his psp is about to get that brick shoved up his well you know

# Okay, wtf?! — Guest 2007-01-14 16:17

This damn site isn't showing any of my comments! I'm trying to use this stupid thing, but in the rare case that HEN works, 1.5 eboot won't work! I've named it UPDATE.PBP and put it in UPDATE, which I put in GAME, but it just won't work! The readme says I have to convert it to .prx using PatchSFO, but qj and psphacks don't say anything like that! I've tried it the qj way, and it doesn't work, so now I'm gonna patch it. Thanks a lot qj.

# DOnt — Bobtentpeg 2007-01-14 16:19

you dont need to convert it trust me.

if you hvae 2.8 did you run the idstorage first

# YOU KNOW WHAT?!? — Guest 2007-01-14 16:21

Just...just buy a new one.

# Heres how — Bobtentpeg 2007-01-14 16:27

it comes with the DAX downgrader. Placeit in the GAME fodler and run it

# afas — Guest 2007-01-14 16:29

no patching and yea u are suppose to make a update folder, in PSP-GAMES-UPDATE

# Oh — Guest 2007-01-14 16:31

My pc is buggy, so I re-booted it and voila! I got to see me make an *** of myself. Anyway, it won't read the update and says it's corrupted data, so I'm forced to go with csfreakno1's dg. Not that that's a bad thing, I just trust noobz more and wanted to do it their way.

# 2 questions — Guest 2007-01-14 16:32

First of all, all the homebrew i was using with xLoader is now not loading with HEN, do i need to do something to it now to get it to work?

Second, can we use ISO's and stuff now?

# NOT WORKING :( — Swish 2007-01-14 16:37

I've gone over this a hundred times but after selecting PSP Update ver X.YZ it just says...

Extracting special PRX's from PBP...

Cannot find UPDATE.PBP.

After that the PSP restarts.

:(

The Update is in the right place and named correctly :(

# downgradeee — Guest 2007-01-14 16:57

ive bought a used 3.00 , im new to the system,was wondering if there'll be a downgrader for this firmware any time soon.

# ... — Guest 2007-01-14 17:04

Arg! I want to use this so bad, but i cant get HEN to launch, it just keeps freezing! Anyone got any ancient chinese secrets to get it to launch?

# In need of a 2.81 downgrader! — aliasneo 2007-01-14 17:10

back on topic:

congratulations 2.80ers!

# ... — Guest 2007-01-15 03:34

Boo.

2.81 progress, please.

# atomic — Guest 2007-01-15 03:39

Hi guys...

wow.. lots of questions. I thought it was pretty straight forward. QJ provided all the links for the required files. Yes, it work for TA-082. It worked for me. Yes it works for 2.80. it worked for me. If your UPDATE.PBP says it's corrupted, redownload it from QJ. They posted a link right to it in the article. That's the one I used. Also, while installing these apps..

read the included README.txt's. They're very useful.

HEN will most likly freeze your PSP the first few times you run it. I ran it by going to PHOTO and pressing the right arrow. I had to try it 3 times before it worked. YOu can also check your System Setting for your firmware version. IF it's running, it will say 2.80 HEN. BUt I also suggest testing by going to your GAME meny and running the cube demo that was included in the 280HEN package.

once more.. read the readme.txt files included in each download before running/installing them. They'll tell you excatly what to do.

# help — Guest 2007-01-15 03:51

i dont know exactly where to put all of the files to get hen to work. sorry.

# HEN installation help?? — Guest 2007-01-15 03:52

In the Homebrew Enabler installation, i copy and paste the PSP folder into my psp’s root folder. As i go in the HEN_280 folder via my psp’s photo viewer, my psp just freezes and turned off. I retry for like 20 times but its still the same thing. no blue nor red screens show up. ??? what am i doing wrong here?

# Remember... — Guest 2007-01-15 04:03

...to use the IdStorage Changer app first though. Or your PSP will brick.

# . — Guest 2007-01-15 04:06

It's not that simple. They need to find a way to run the downgrader first.

# TO ALEXMOD — Guest 2007-01-15 04:29

Exactly. u little liar. u never even used this. ur just scaring people so just get off this site. @***hoollleeee. anyway i used the german dg and i was scared as HELL! it took me 2 days just to decide to do it or not. its on ookm's blog in the comments section. use the german downgrader cuz its got everything in it. but now since this came out. use this instead because it has everything in it especially safer for the TA-82 and TA-86 users. i already downgraded using the german downgrader and upgraded to 3.03 A to 3.03 OE-B.

MAKE SURE YOU READ THE READ-ME OR ELSE IT WILL BRICK YOUR PSP! READ EVERYTHING AND DOUBLE CHECK!!!!!!!

# ... — Guest 2007-01-15 05:14

yes, that sucks.. a friend of mine did the same thing but for 2.80 (downgraded some weeks ago by Ookms downgrader), appearantly it said he needed to upgrade on a note that came with the PSP..

# ... — Guest 2007-01-15 05:18

2.00 and 2.80 are just as good as 1.50, but only after you downgraded it to 1.50

# I HAVE ONE QUESTION — Guest 2007-01-15 05:21

IF YOU DO EVERYTHING RIGHT AND CHECK IT A MILLION TIMES THAT EVERYTHING IS PERFECT DO YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO BRICK YOUR PSP?????

# read the readme! — Guest 2007-01-15 05:27

noob: read the readme! they will tell you where to put the files to get HEN to work.

stylez, just keep trying man. the TIFF exploit that runs HEN is not very stable. As long as you have the 280HEN files in your /psp/photo directory and can see the icon in the photo menu (it's a picture of a rooster or hen. :) ) then it's installed right. If i recall correctly, I think the readme says there must be a 280HEN folder in 2 places.

Tip: i formatted my memory stick before doing this downgrade. If anyone cares, it was a 2GB official Sony memstick Pro duo.

# cool stable. — Guest 2007-01-15 05:28

Good for 2.80 users a stable downgrader will decrease chances of bricking. I myself downgraded with the easy version of 0okm's downgrader and it worked. But this will be even better.

# someone — Guest 2007-01-15 05:28

So do you put the HEN 'psp' file in your root and then put what is in the HEN 'photo' file into your psp's photo file? and same with the GAME file?

# ... — Guest 2007-01-15 05:29

yes, you might drop the PSP on the floor so that the battery comes out in the middle of the downgrade... also there are risks of writing wrong to the flash, just like files can get wrong when downloading and such (not talking about the dg.. it has so many checks).. but I'd say it's as safe as will ever be (as safe or maybe even safer than an official upgrades).. I'm not sure though, but Dark_AleX's flashers usually are.

# It will work — Guest 2007-01-15 05:29

I succesfully dg my 2.80 PSP non-TA-082 to 1.50, and I'm HAPPY NOW! Just remember to copy the files to right directions and follow the instructions, and it will work. :))

I have a question, can I downgrade a no ta-082 psp ?!?!

PLZ answer

# cant figure it out — Guest 2007-01-15 05:58

all that the readme says is "Copy all contents inside MS_ROOT to the root of your memory stick."

# the answer is yes. — Guest 2007-01-15 06:07

question: see the comment above your post by Koponen.

the answer is yes. but you do not have to do step #3 if yours is not a TA-082. Also, i think a dg'er for non-ta082 has been out for sometime now. This dg'er will work for all mono's. But it you do have a TA-082 mobo, you HAVE to run the "TA082 IdStorage Changer" or you will brick your PSP.

# Too scared to downgrade — Guest 2007-01-15 07:23

Hi all

I have a few questions

Does the Easy downgrader work with Uk PSPs as the firmware in the downgrader says north america .

Does it affect the Region coding on UMD movies.

i have read all the comments but they dont seem to answer my questions.

Also a number of other posts i have seen about the downgrader says that you have to downgrade to 1.50 the upto 2.71 then use the 2.71 to 1.50 downgrader. is this true. as other sites have said the downgraded firmware is "DIRTY"

Also just to put loads of people off a downgrader could be used to "MASS BRICK" the worlds psp so thats something to think about. hey who needs a virus.

Anyway some expert advise would be nice and I would like to thank you in advance for any help you can give.

# yes — Guest 2007-01-15 07:25

I think so. Double check that HEN is running by going to your "System Settings". It should say 2.80 HEN for your firmware version. Also test it out by running the cube demo that was in the HEN download package.

don't forget to do step #4. Although i think the dg'er checks for the correct files.. better safe than sorry so make to "Get a copy of the v1.5 upgrade EBOOT (and copy it to the /psp/game/UPDATE/ folder on your memory stick, as UPDATE.PBP"

# what — Guest 2007-01-15 07:30

hey killamonjaro, what did you do wrong or did the dg just messed up while flashing?

# 2.80 HEN — Guest 2007-01-15 07:35

can somebody help me, my psp runs in 2.80 HEN (ive checked it in system settings and ran the cube demo) but the 1.50 eboot is still "corrupted". im sure it's called UPDATE.PBP and is in psp-game-updat

# i'l' try to answer — Guest 2007-01-15 07:39

to change background, view a photo, hit triangle button, select "set as wallpaper". there is also a setting in "themes" to enable wallpaper use. It's usually set to "on" by default. This however, is a basic function of all 2.6 and up psp's (maybe lower, i don't know). no hombrew is needed to do that.

i found that when I went to 303OEB, none of my apps in /PSP/GAME that i used with 2.8 worked. I can see them, but when i clicked them they said game could not be started. I'm assuming it's because they were patched with PatchSFO to work with 2.8. So, I will also assume I'll need the unpatch the eboot's to fix them. Also, if you put them into GAME150, i think they also need the accompanying %FOLDER to work properly which was not needed with the apps that worked for 2.8. For example, game 150 should look like so:

PSP/GAME150/APP1

PSP/GAME150/%APP1

The %FOLDER's are usually included with the original download under the 1.5 folder. That's my best guess at that. I could be complete wrong. :)

# YOOOOOOOHOOOOOO O....... — Guest 2007-01-15 07:40

I finaly made it. I DG my PSP.

For those who didn't understand:

1. This DownGrader version could downgrade every mother-board model.

2. Download the 3 files which QJ gives you.

3. Dont worry if this version of DG is mentioned only for TA-082. (just dont do the steps for TA-082)

*Read everything twice, and check 5 times before DG'ing.

*If the HEN Tiff won't work , retry until it will - Because it will. (It took me 11 times until it worked !!!!)

*Pray for it to work.

# Doesn't work for me... — Guest 2007-01-15 08:04

I just tried this on my friends PSP - same problem a number of other people have commented on - I have not been able to get HEN280 to work. Most of the time, it tries to launch, but then freezes on a black screen, but sometimes it freezes on the photo viewer screen.

I ended up using the old 0okm 2.80->2.71 downgrade, that worked with no problems.

# help — Guest 2007-01-15 08:15

# go to 303OE-A — Guest 2007-01-15 08:51

GA: you can upgrade from 1.50 straight to 303OE-A. Again, read the readme files included in the 303OE-A download. You will need the official 1.50 update eboot that you used to dg with and you will also need the official 303 update eboot. You will need to rename them and put them somewhere. read the readme and it will tell you what to do. if DATA.DXAR is empty then that most likely means the oeupdatemaker program you ran didn't complete correctly. it could be because you were missing the required official 150 and 303 update eboots.

To Corrupted Data:

You need to have both the 1.50 EBOOT.PBP file in the UPDATE folder as well as the copy of 1.50 named UPDATE.PBP otherwise it won't have anything to load and show as corrupted.

My problem now is, I was able to get HEN working but when I click on the 1.50 update, it says I already have 2.80 installed. If I go to System Info, it shows "2.80 HEN" so I don't understand what's wrong.

For those of us who are having the issue with the UPDATE.PBP file not running because it's being viewed as "CORRUPTED DATA," I think I found a common link to all of us, by reading through these comments, so answer this question... Did you already have an UPDATE folder inside your GAME folder containing files already, or did you need to create the UPDATE folder before you copied the UPDATE.PBP file to it?

I did not have the UPDATE folder, and had to create it.

# Corrupted Data solved — Guest 2007-01-16 06:02

OK, I see what I did wrong, and I finally got this to work. I was unclear on the instructions, so I'm hopeing this helps someone else having the "Corrupted Data" issue.

I did not think I needed to download and use the file called "TA-082 EASY DOWNGRADER" as for some reason, I thought this was only needed if I had a newer motherboard. This files has the [UPDATE] folder you need to COPY over to your PSP/GAME folder, and NOT create the UPDATE directory yourself. It holds 5 files, and the actual downgrader is in this folder.

THEN, rename the 1.5 Eboot file to UPDATE.PBP and copy into your PSP/GAME/UPDATE folder, being careful NOT to replace the existing eboot.pbp file.

Here's a edited tutorial list to help visualize this...

1. Install the HEN files, by following the details in the readme.txt file.

2. Test that HEN is working fine, by running one of the bundled sample applications - e.g. the cube demo.

3. COPY ENTIRE [UPDATE] FOLDER CONTAINING ALL 5 FILES TO THE PSP/GAME DIRECTORY FROM THE TA-082 EASY DOWNGRADER FILE. THIS FILE HOLDS THE ACTUAL DOWNGRADER.

4. If you have a TA-082 or TA-086 PSP, run the "TA082 IdStorage Changer", via HEN, to patch your registry before downgrading.

5. Get a copy of the v1.5 upgrade EBOOT (e.g. from here) and copy it to the /psp/game/UPDATE/ folder on your memory stick, as UPDATE.PBP. DO NOT REPLACE THE EXISTING EBOOT.PBP FILE! CHANGE THE NAME OF THE 1.5 EBOOT TO UPDATE.PBP BEFORE MOVING THE FILE INTO THE PSP/GAME/UPDATE FOLDER.

6. Start the"PSP Update ver X.YZ" program via HEN, and follow the instructions.

7. Congratulations , you now have a v1.5 PSP!

This is how I got it to work, so I hope this helps someone else!

# A BIG thank you! — Guest 2007-01-16 06:33

When we got the psp for my son it was great with the homebrew games.But after renting a game we had 2.80

firmware.With this downgrader we are back to 1.50.

I can't thank all of those who mad this possible.

my son is 11 with life threating illness.YOU MADE HIS DAY

Thank You Again.

# New easy method. — Guest 2007-01-16 07:39

http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id+17935

This seemed easier. Downgraded from 2.80 to 1.50 successfully. There is a missing step, here it is. After step 7, go to photo then xloader (don't press X) press Triangle! Select slideshow. It will go to an error message. Press O. now you can go to step 8. Hope this helps.

# SOMETHING I NOTICED — Guest 2007-01-16 08:38

IVE DOWNGRADED WITH EVERY DOWNGRADER AND IVE NEVER BRICKED MY PSP (I DID IT TWICE WITH EACH DOWNGRADER) BUT THEN SOME OF YOU GUYS WHO DONT KNOW HOW TO USE IT AND BRICK YOUR PSP START POSTING BULL CRAP ABOUT "AHH ***** I BRICKED MY PSP", ITS BECAUSE OF YOU GUYS EVERYONE IS SCARED TO DOWNGRADE AND BECAUSE OF YOU STUPID AND ITS BECAUSE OF YOU GUYS I GOT SCARED AND UPGRADED MY PSP WHEN THE FIRST 2.00 DOWNGRADER CAME OUT AND I UPGRADE, AND YEAH THIS GOES OUT TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SCARED TO DOWNGRADE READ THE README AT LEAST TEN TIMES AND CHECK EVERYTHING IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE THEN ALSO CHECK YOUR BATTERY PERCENTAGE IS OVER 75% AND KEEP THE CHARGER IN OR YOU END UP LIKE THE OTHERS, WHEN YOUVE DONE THAT JUST CHECK IF ANY HOMEBREW WORKS WITH THE HOMEBREW ENABLER AND LAST THING I FORGOT TO SAY IS BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING FORMAT YOUR MEMORY STICK IN SIDE THE PSP AND YOU GOT THE GREEN LIGHTS TO GO GOOD LUCK

# update.pbp — Guest 2007-01-16 11:50

I put it in the psp/game/update section and when i go to use it in the xmb, it says corrupted data. why would this happen? the hen-280 is booted up...

# corrupted data — Guest 2007-01-16 15:49

YES, finally got it to work. You need to dl the ta-082 folder and use that UPDATE folder instead of creating your own UPDATE folder. Thanks for all the help! I'll be enjoying my new 1.5 PSP.

# Downgrade succes — Guest 2007-01-17 00:54

I have succesfully downgraded my psp (non TA-082) (with easy downgrader) from 2.8 tot 1.5 In the beginning i was to scared to brick my psp, so many times i quited looking for a downgrader. But yesterday i just gave it a go, bc otherwise my psp is always in the desk, i only have one game, wipe out, bored with it. First i downloaded this improved downgrader by noobz. I followed the steps.Try to load the HEN, but after 20 and more times my psp only crashed or rebooted. So i guess the "improved and so far best downgrader isnt that good". So i formatted the memory stick. Then i went back to a previos downgrader, i downloaded esy downgrader 2.8. I have tried this before but it didnt work, but it was my fault. I readed all the steps over and over, watched a VERY GOOD movie ,where you can see all you need to do for downgrading with easy downgrader. And it worked perfectly, i have a psp 3.03 OE-B now, download many torrents and they all work. Now it worked for me and i want to help everybody who needs help. Ask here for help or mail me at kris_appeltants @msn.com

where is the root of your memory stick?

# the damn thing works — Guest 2007-01-20 16:31

just keep trying to run the hen, it will eventually work. make sure that you have the right hen 280 folders where they should be (one in the photo folder and one in /psp). you have to follow the instructions to a T. once you get to 1.5, it is really easy to upgrade to the 3.03 OE A/B which is way better than 1.5

# Got Hen to Work — Guest 2007-01-20 19:15

i finally got hen to work. i researched a bit and used this guy's method:

"heres how what i did…. I go to Photo then press O then you will see HEN_280 folder, then i pressed start. then it goes all white and you can see the memory led light is lighting saying its busy. Then i let it run then after i guess 15mins of loading. i thought it was frozen again i remove the batt and place it back after 1 min turned it on… and tried again the same procedure after pressing start it turned into blue screen and it restarted itself. I was happy when i saw the blue screen… I turned it on again and tried running the Cube sample and Polyphonic sample by shrine and it all worked."

it worked for me exactly the way it worked for him. hope this helps

okay so I'm a clueless nooob and can't even get past the first step:

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

when exploring the psp, there is an MP_Root, no MS root. when I copy all the files int' the root of the memeory stick, the main folder that holds the folllowing folders, MP_ROOT, MUSIC, PICTURE, PSP, VIDEO,

nothing shows up under the Photo viewer in the XMB any help for the retarded

It took me about two weeks of trying on a regular basis. Not sure what made it work suddenly but I kept trying and it paid off. I put some other pictures in the PHOTO folder (I only had HEN in there previously) and it worked shortly after that... could have been dumb luck though...
