2.71 Downdater/Downgrader Made Easy

Posted Sep 2, 2006 at 9:39AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Hacks & Exploits Tags: Downdater, Mathieulh, psp exploits, psp hacks, psp250, PSPGen, Yoshihiro

Just as he did for the 2.50/2.60 Downdater made by Dark_Alex, Mathieulh and Yoshihiro from the SonyXTeam, Xtrusion is once again lifting the weight off our shoulders by eliminating the need to go through all the steps and instructions needed to make a successful downgrade with Downgrader 2.71 LITE.

It basically functions the same as his previous release. It's an executable with an amazing GUI, with a series of images guiding you through the set up process of the 2.71 Downdater. All you have to do is install the file just as you would any computer program, run it, connect your PSP to your computer and answer the questions with either a yes or a no.

Remember, that this is potentially dangerous to your PSP. You could end up having a bricked PSP. We can't stress that enough and so does Xtrusion. Don't say we didn't warn you.

This software is free, unlicensed and comes with no warranty.

Despite it has been tested and it has worked, a program that rewrites a big part of the flash(flash0) is always dangerous. You are the only responsible of whatever happens to your psp using this unlicensed program.

Update:

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.

This is great stuff,I personnaly dont need it ,As im already a lucky owner of 3 1.50 fw psps [my sons & partner uses them incase you were wondering why 3]

Its really good of you to take even more time out to do more great work for the PSP Scene.I have the 2.50>60 downgrader in full to & ive downgraded around 30+ psps with it works a treat so this one will be no diffrent,[IMO].

b4 i sign of again unbelievable stuff again over last 12 hours,[just hope the ones who downgraded buy at least 1 psp game a month if possable at least if there going to download tons of isos,As no one wants the psps life to end before its even begun,[no im not preaching if anyone thinks i am im not as ive tried isos but i atleast try n buy 3 games a month [only because i can afford it & the only reason is i dont wanna see psp die of due to no game sales ext]

ps is there a full downgrader [like this one] for 2.00 firmware to 1.50? and 1.50 firmware to 1.00 i can do it manually no probs but its a lot easier n i get a lot of people from were i come from asking me thats all .

thanks for anyone answering my questions in advance as im really curios & would love to make the set:P

I *****ing bricked mine. God damn it, the guy telling me how to do it *****ed up, and now I have a $250 paperweight. Be careful whe doing this *****.

# 1st post — Guest 2006-09-02 11:12

Where is the full version at, 7ech is down and thats where I got it for 2.60

# #12 is a liar — Guest 2006-09-02 11:12

#12 your lying..... 2.8 doesn't work prove it...

# liar! — groggo 2006-09-02 11:13

it couldn't possibly downgrade a 2.8 because there is no kernel access; if people ran it, it just wouldn't work...

(it wouldn't brick the psp either)

# Guest 2006-09-02 11:19

Does this have the bugg fix that was relesed for the 2.71 downdater just some hrs ago?

# 2.80 — Guest 2006-09-02 11:21

I WANT 2.80 DOWNGRADER !

# yeah — Guest 2006-09-02 11:23

woot!

# Nice — potat4o 2006-09-02 11:23

I love these easy install things

btw, if your looking for any crediblity in these posts be sure you look at registered user posts.

# working for 2.8 — Guest 2006-09-02 11:24

As far as we know, it doesn't work on 2.8. If it really is working, we should have reported it by now. =)

# Hi — Guest 2006-09-02 11:28

I first installed the previous one this morning with the earlier 2.71 downdater , and now that i got 1.5 i installed this version for Fw1.5, after the prog was done, i deleted everything : The downhelper + downhelper% and the 1.5 Eboot in the UPGRADE File, is this ok ? Plz REPLY ! THX

# yea i dont believe it works for 2.8 — Guest 2006-09-02 11:29

but hopefully something will come up for people stuck with 2.8 psps

# 24th — Guest 2006-09-02 11:32

thanks for posting

# Guest 2006-09-02 11:38

#17, the 2.80 has no kernal access, so you wont be able to downgrade at all since it cant write to the flash. DURR read in the forums.

# only for white psp's? — Guest 2006-09-02 11:40

duz this work only for white psp's?and wat if there is nothing written on the motherboard?

# :( — Guest 2006-09-02 11:41

Hmm, I have 2.71, I don't know whether to downgrade or not cause I'm scared of it bricking :'(

nuff said

# lol @ 28 — Guest 2006-09-02 11:44

No it works for Black PSPs as well. Just make sure that your PSP isn't a TA-082 first okay?

# developers — Guest 2006-09-02 11:45

hey developers or qj, why dont you tell us when the 2.8 downgrader is coming?

your leaving the 2.8's hanging and your losing customers through bricking..

come on...

you can do better than that

# deres a problem... — Guest 2006-09-02 11:46

my psp doesn't have any numbers on either side of the motherboard?duz that mean its not TA-082?

# ? — Guest 2006-09-02 11:47

How do I check if my psp is a TA-082?

# to 34 — Guest 2006-09-02 11:50

open ur disc drive and if you see numbers on the green board on ur right of the psp then its a ta-082

# How to check for TA-082 — Guest 2006-09-02 11:50

http://www.modchipstore.com/support/images/ta82spot.jpg

# Guest 2006-09-02 11:51

#34, open up your umd drive, and look on the top right corner, if there is no golden numbers, then that means your in the clear for a downgrade.

# developers and qj — Guest 2006-09-02 11:54

can you please tell us when you are gonna make an eloader for 2.8 gosh weve all been waiting for so long and this libtiff will do some damage and you aint shining? wheres the 2.8 stuff wheres all the downgraders like you promised come on get in schedule sony's wasting you!

# ? — Guest 2006-09-02 11:54

thanks for the help guys.

Mine doesn't have any text, so yay!

I'm gonna wait for more feedback till I try it though lol xD

# yay! — Guest 2006-09-02 12:05

alrite, im clean, im ready to enter Homebrew and ISO Paradise!mmm....damn!with this, do we still need another 1.50 PSP for the other part?

# Bricked psps? — Guest 2006-09-02 12:14

Hey Remi M, or any other Qj.net staff.

Do you know the % of psps being bricked by this?

Thanks

# Then what? — Guest 2006-09-02 12:26

So after downgrading, what homebrew is there worth getteng?

None, thats what I thought.

# hmm — Guest 2006-09-02 12:35

yeah like number 19 said

does this 1 have the bug fix in it

if so Woepieeeee as in yayyyyyy finally again another downgrader

Nice 2 see everyone is telling SONY 2 f...o..!!!

# Dammit — Guest 2006-09-02 12:36

it cant get a downdater folder causedowndater helper wont start on my psp

# GHenrik 2006-09-02 12:57

You use downdater helper on a 1.5 psp to get some files you put on a 2.71 psp. This files you get are illegal to send since sony made them. But it dont mean its imposseble to find them out there in the world wide web. Sorry but I cant give you the links. Qj will not allow that. Sony will sue them if I did. :(

# they dont care about 2.8 — Guest 2006-09-02 12:57

all these people..

Nopx86, psp250, Skylark, Joek2100, CSwindle, JimP, Fanjita, hitchhikr jpeg, whackawookie, nopx86, [Having], tyranog, joshrulez, gamefreax.de

you know what.. they dont care about 2.8 firmware they just keep going on about the 2.71 and we already know how to work this damn downgrader but noooo they just keep making and making easier ones

why dont you give 2.8 a slack for ones and make us a downgrader

you made 4 stupid threads

2.71 downgrader is coming | 2.71 downgrader is here download it now | 2.71 bug fix | 2.71 downgrader lite

WE KNOW HOW TO USE THE FIRST ONE damnit make a 2.8 or an eloader and stop wasting your time on the 2.71 youve already wasted peoples money when they bricked there psp with your stupid 2.71 downgrader...

dont you have some sympathy?

# Start Paying These Guys Some RESPECT — Guest 2006-09-02 13:04

KILLER, and all the other haters, start paying some respect to these guys. Theyre doing this off their own free willl for nothing, giving up their time, and all you can do is tell them to stop wasting it and ask for a 2.80 downgrader, just a day after the 2.71 one has been released-words utterly fail me.

Time and time again people have been told that if you upgrade your less likely to be able to play homebrew, so if you upgraded as far as 2.80 then its your stupid fault.

You say that theyve wasted peoples money bricking theyre PSP's but condemned them for releasing a bug fix-are you STUPID?!??

"dont you have some sympathy?"

No-d***head.

# @47 — Guest 2006-09-02 13:12

Well said, i agree. ;)

# 47 — Guest 2006-09-02 13:13

you must be a *****got with a 1.5 go jack off to your psp man and jump off these guys' d|ck ok? stop holding on there crouch you ***** be on your own

theres some sympathy for you

# Guest 2006-09-02 13:19

im not getting a red screen at all

# KILLER — Guest 2006-09-02 13:23

lol ur so stupid killer i hate people like you and the other people who asked for 2.8 downgraders, that might take a long time u kno... difrent strings, better security and meyb the current glitch wont work, cause you (KILLER) seem to be a idiotic moron that dont know ***** about what ur demanding and if they wanna go on about 2.71 they can do that as much as they want

# Guest 2006-09-02 13:28

Ya mine does not have any numbers and i still cant get the red screen to show up under photos after the installation

# Billy Talent 2006-09-02 13:28

To all the 2.8 users complaining that they don't have a downgrader, think of it like this. Your PSP didn't have 2.8 on it when you purchased it, so either you upgraded it, or Sony upgraded it for you when it was sent in for repairs. Either way, it's your own fault that you have a 2.80.

# Guest 2006-09-02 13:32

Is this the final downgrader or are there more that are supposed to come out. Because I want to wait till its as safe as possible the success rate according to the polls is only like 75%

# gja;oreg — Guest 2006-09-02 13:36

New 1.50 PSP user right here man woot woot!

# Full ver — Guest 2006-09-02 13:37

# umm.. — Guest 2006-09-02 13:48

# Guest 2006-09-02 13:57

my psp just goes on the red screen for about 6 seconds and turns off and i turn it on again and it is still 2.71.I have tried the bug fix too.What did i do wrong??

# Guest 2006-09-02 14:08

keep trying. it will take an average of 1 out of 10 tries to get it running.

# AHAHAHAHAHAHA! — ZYXWVUT 2006-09-02 14:13

well, I hope the developers test it on a 2.80, and if it works, GREAT! if it DOESN'T, they'll edit it.

# Guest 2006-09-02 14:16

anyone know if when you use the downdater Lite version, will they still need to be conneted to AC power? or willl the power from the usb be sufficient.

something that i have been hearing a lot is that this downgrader works on 2.80 psp's. to those who are saying that it does, show some PROOF. post a video of a 2.80 downgrade on youtube if you want us to believe you.

# 2.8 downrader — Guest 2006-09-02 15:26

it could happen i mean they said that 2.6 kernal access wasnt possible but it was just give it some time yo

# It cannot work on 2.80 — Guest 2006-09-02 15:29

The EBOOT is not for 2.80, and the design for it is for 2.71. your psp will brick don't try it. The 2.80 version will come out shortly, please show some patients.

-PSP™

# Guest 2006-09-02 15:34

your 2.8 won't brick cause i tried it like 5 times even though i figured it wouldnt work, i just saw a few people saying it did so i decided to try anyway, it didnt work and my psp is not bricked

# 2.80... — Guest 2006-09-02 15:38

unregistered comments are sucks. i also actually tried it on my 2.80 and it does nothing. nothing.

# UNREGISTERED — TEH_BEAST 2006-09-02 15:42

I ahte all the unregistered comments, they should block all of them, seeing how all of them are all the spammers. Oh, and btw great work, (I have 1.5 but great work)

# The PSP may not brick but it will not work as I said. — Guest 2006-09-02 15:42

The PSP may not brick, the software is designed for 2.71 so it's not smart to try. As said in the previous post it may not brick but please dont try until new version for 2.80 comes out, and also try to wait until the bugs in it that it may have get fixed. sorry.

I just want to thank a bunch of people, including the designers...before this came out, I had one person help me immensly and was actually working on a utube video on how to do it, but considering this, I didnt even continue. Proud owner of 1.5. Now, if someone can steer me toward the 2.71 emulator by devhook, I would be peeing my pants!

thanks to all the kind people on this site....everyone was very helpful.

Since this is merely just a port of the 2.50/2.60 downdater, wouldn't it be easier to make a different version for the 2.50/2.60...or would you rather have them upgrade to 2.71 and then downgrade?

# Guest 2006-09-03 01:50

If my PSP doesn't turn on at all... Does it mean that I bricked it? Holy.... Can anyone tell me how to fix this? After the red screen disappeared, it wouldn't turn on at all!

# to be sure — Messers 2006-09-03 06:52

just wait for a couple of days,

there will be new versions and a higher non-bricking rate.

respect to the guys who make these programs but it's hard for them to oversee ALL of the bugs.(I think). so give them a break

just wait for one week and downgrade it then with the latest version..

# dark alex o some coder plz give advice — Guest 2006-09-03 06:59

Well heres the deal. I tried to original downdater for 2.71 1st released and got a brick, the green light comes on but screen remains pitch black.

WELL I LEFT IT ON ALL NIGHT LAST NIGHT, AND THIS MORNING I TRIED TO TURN IT OFF, AND A BLUE SCREEN CAME UP SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT HARLEY 1.234 SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND IT HAD OPTIONS SUCH AS RETURN TO 1.5 AND 2.0 UMD LOADER AND USB DEVICE.

THIS DIDNT MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME SO I CHOSE RETURN TO 1.5 AND MY PSP IS STILL PITCH BLACK. THE THING IS THOUGH I WANT SOMEONE TO TELL ME WHAT THE BLUE SCREEN IS AND CAN IT UNBRICK MY PSP OR SOMETHING

Ok,

heres it straight, personally i havent tried downgrading on my 2.8 psp, but in theory, it wont work (no access to flash0) but it cant brick (no access to flash0), (btw flash0 45 all u noobz is the place in the psp where all the essential files are stored) and don't be nasty 2 the people who upgraded I 4 1 didn't think there would be 1 and i think people thought the same.

# 2.80 — Guest 2006-09-03 08:04

I've been reading through the forum on guys who are blaming developers about not being able to downgrade from 2.80 firmware. I think you should all shut up and just sit tight for a few days and somethins bound to come up. I mean for god sake, if the developers who brought us previous downgrade packages never started in the first place, we'd all be goosed! We should be thanking them for even doing this at all. I have a 2.80 myself and i'm just gonna sit tight and keep a watch until they find a way.

By the way, great work so far, 2.71 looked very tricky

# Video — Guest 2006-09-03 08:08

I may be unregistered but I won't comment with spam. My question is this: for someone who has done this, and gotten it to work, is there a way you can make a video of this to show that it works and show us what steps you took in order to do this? It'd ease my mind to see this, that way I know what I'm doing.

So i guess this thing is fake since no one has video proof of a downgrade from 2.71 to 1.5 at all. well why is this on pspupdates if it is fake and does not work. and if it is prove it submit a step by step video of what you did. That is all the proof i need

when 2.6 came out, people said do not upgrade. they upgraded. when 2.7 and 2.71 came out, they said do not upgrade. they upgraded, and than the 2.6 downdater came out, and the 2.7ers were pissed. deja vu. 2.8 comes out, they upgrade. 2.7 downdater, 2.8ers are pissed.

you gotta figure one thing out, even if someone says its impossible, trust me, it aint entirely.

i looked at the photo and it said that if there are numbers at the right of ur psp inside the disk thingy then its ta-082

mine doesn't, but it has numbers at the left that u can partially see......is it ta-082 or not???

Followed everything as it told me, got a red screen on my very first try. Shame it didn't do anything. I was still 2.71. Then I tried and tried again, failing to get a red screen. I think my problem was I wasn't hitting X fast enough when I got to photos. Those of you not getting a red screen try to hit X faster.

# Guest 2006-09-03 18:58

had a 2.7 upgraded to 2.71 then downgraded to 1.5 using Downgrader made easy Full version. Waited til now to do it, reading up on forums to see what worked worked and what didnt. I formatted my 32mb stick, reset the psp back to default settings, removed the battery for 10 seconds and replaced it (probably didnt help anything but did it anyways), turned on the psp and connected the usb to the pc, ran the .exe file and it uploaded all the files i needed including the 1.5 dump, disconnected the usb, went to photo and clicked on the tiff file.

1st try i didnt click on the tiff file fast enuff, psp froze then shut off by itself

2nd try i went to photo and clicked on the tiff right away and got the red screen for 1 1/2 minutes and it restarted.

now i got a 1.5

# Please be pacient, Please. — Guest 2006-09-03 22:43

Ok i know how it feels to be so frustrated about having a psp 2.71 but we will have to wait we can't just run into the future.

And i think i know another cause for bricking... not sure though...

I think the other cause of bricking is when someone buys a psp new with 2.71 and when they try to downgrade it bricks so i'm thinking everyone who bought a psp in the first month of them selling could downgrade easy... no brick.

Anyways onto the point, a downgrader for 2.8 could take another month or more.

This is simply because the 2.8 doesn't have kernel access.

Hopefully the tiff exploit could lead you to have kernel access... but as far as we know there might not ever be a 2.8 downgrader just an eLoader...

So everyone including me who has a 2.8 psp just wait.

and could i ask everyone who succesfully downgraded to say whether they bought their psp as soon as they came out near enough or did you buy them new?

Also get prepared if there is a 2.8 downgrader because again you will need the 1.50 DOWNDATER files...

I have them already on my 32mb memory stick (not goin to waste my 512mb) so really if i had a 2.71 psp in front of me i could downgrade it.

If you want the full files go to psp-hacks.net and ask on live chat "Where can i get the downdater files" or look around. Do not download the 1.5 Dump. It won't work. You will get all the files needed in the "2.71 Downgrader Full". All you need to do is select your psp drive letter and it installs all the files including the tiff pic. It installs the full downdater file and the .bin file in the root of your psp.

So listen every 2.8 psp owner, just wait. i'm sure after the eLoader comes out they will get straight on to 2.8's back and rip the security to peices.

Thankyou to Dark_Alex and everyone else who made Homebrew possible for 2.71 owners.

AndyMosh.

All you do is pick your psp drive letter and it will install the FULL "DOWNDATER" file and the .bin file which goes in the root and it even includes the picture you need.

Guys dun download from this .. go get it from psp-hacks . it has the full download. IT worked For me.. cant tell much. i cant wait to play all the games i've missed ..

# The real answer - Read this — Force 2006-09-04 04:08

I had a lot of trouble with this but here is an example on how persistance makes all the difference.

Before I get started let me answer a few things for the earlier questions.

1) This isn't a 2.8->1.5 downgrader. This is a 2.71->1.5 downgrader. L2READ-K-THNX

2) If you have a number on the LEFT side of your PSP while looking at it right side up and looking at the back of your PSP, your PSP is fine to downgrade. IE - If your PSP circuit board doesn't look like the one in the warning, YOU ARE FINE. Clear enough? Okay.

This light version of the downgrader is called that because it does not contain the 1.5 files required to downgrade. If you do not have these files, like I didn't go to http://psp.xtrusion.es/en/ to get them. If you don't know where they go and you're scared you're going to ***** everything up, don't worry. There's a version of this downgrader in full. Click the "I've got 2.71 version." link and TADA a full version of this.

Now this is what I did. I took my 32 meg card and reformatted it. Then I used the FULL version install. It didn't work. Then with the 1.5 files installed from the full version I tried the lite version. It kept crashing. SO! I took the file called "HW" from the photo folder. I put in some pictures. Then I put the "HW" file back into the folder. Then I tried the full version AGAIN! Then when I went to the photo folder I had to scroll down to view the file. It went red and did its thing.

If it doesn't work, just keep trying.

If you're unclear you can MSN me or e-mail me at tatsauki@hotmai l.com

This thing is EZ! Thanks to all involved in it. I missed console emus

# Guest 2006-09-04 04:31

2.80 isnt downgradable, because u cant access kernal mode. as soon as kernal mode was cracked on 2.5/6/7 there was a downgrader but there was no exploit in 2.71 so there was no way to strt a downgrader, but with the new tiff exploit it was possible. however in 2.80 sony patched up the kernal mode exploit so its next to impossible to downgrade now

# over 30 times — Guest 2006-09-04 05:08

I've tried over 40 times and it still won't work, i've gotten the red screen about 6 out of the 40 times and everytime it crashed. I am using the LITE version, i followed all the instructions exactly. What am I doing wrong?

# respond to 230 — Guest 2006-09-04 05:23

The LITE version doesnt include the 1.50 dumper files. You need to get those files somewhere or use the FULL version instead.

# i had the dumper files — Guest 2006-09-04 05:47

I had all the files but it didn't work after 40+ tries. Then I downloaded the full version it didn't work the first 5 or so times and then the 6th (the second time i got the red screen) it worked. i am ecstatic! i can't believe it worked now i can't wait to get homebrew and iso's going. For the people that made this (DarkAlex, etc.) You people are GENIUSES, keep up the AMAZING work.

I restarted and it won't turn on. Power light stays on, but the screen remains off.

has anybody else gotten this? were you able to fix it?

# My orignal brick and downdata question... — Guest 2006-09-04 08:00

Right....i bricked my first PSP - i did this....

Mobo was is not TA 82

Used a 2GB card (fully formated)

Used the 19.5mb files from PSP hax

Copied the files and directory structure as shown

Screen went red first time, then black and died.

Are the 13.5mb downdata files the correct ones OR can i just use this liteloader (IE does it include the 1.50 downdata files required for a 2.71 downgrade?)

# i need to know — Guest 2006-09-04 08:22

so dose this made ez one work or not

# Guest 2006-09-04 11:51

Has anybody tried this downgrader lite

# fairly simple — Guest 2006-09-04 11:56

this downgrader is feasibly done, but only if you're conscientious. If you need any help concerning the downgrader, plz don't hesitate to contact my email address-->

not_for_sale8@h otmail.com

I got it on my second try ;)

# Guest 2006-09-04 14:03

I did it i downgraded its freakin' awsome man all the possibilities are mine now

# success rate? — Guest 2006-09-04 15:49

# freshly bricked psp — Guest 2006-09-04 16:47

# iT wOrKs On 2.80!!!!!!!! — Guest 2006-09-04 23:08

I just downgraded my 2.8!!!Dont know how it worked but I finally have my 1.5 psp. Just WONDERFULL

# Guest 2006-09-05 01:14

I think its really unfair for people to state they downloaded there 2.8 firmware, this is obviously bollox so why say it....

I am stupid enough to upgrade my fimware to 2.8, but I am not stupid enough to try this downgrader...

# Will it work on PSP 2.70 — Guest 2006-09-05 03:47

I have psp that is 2.70 will it work on that or the title is 2.71 don't know.

and which version it will go down to, to be able to run hebrew application.

Anyone tried and worked for anyone.

EGAL

# Awesome — Guest 2006-09-05 09:21

I have a 2.80 but i downgraded my sisters psp with the full version and it worked purfect and downgraded my first try.

# Nice work — Zerow 2006-09-05 10:17

I don't need this, as I successfully utilised the full 2.71 downgrader, but great to see an easier alternative.

# Guest 2006-09-05 10:54

dose the thing work or not the lite V. i just wata know. i dont want all 2.8 2.7 b/s just tell me if it works an i dont care about the full v. so yes or no

# Guest 2006-09-05 23:54

OK can confirm, I was desperate to rid myself of the 2.8 and tried this...did exactly as told...

And basically the system hang for a few moments then just turned off.....

Restarted fine with the usual sony loading screen etc...but still at 2.8 firmware...

So to all out there that want to try this on there 2.8 as some people (complete fraudsters) have stated, It doesn't work, basically as it states...

WAIT FOR A 2.8 DOWNGRADER

# Guest 2006-09-06 05:36

does anyone know if this works on a 2.70 psp?

# your all stupid — Guest 2006-09-06 09:15

ok you are all retarded as you cant answer a simple question.

# with the full — Guest 2006-09-06 11:41

with the full downgrader, I get all the files needed to down grade an it will work with my jap PSP

# yay! — Guest 2006-09-06 12:27

yay im so happy! it worked! id recomend if your going to downgrade search for a easy 2.71 downgrader full for all the necessary files to have less chance of brick!

# Can i downgrde? — Guest 2006-09-06 16:15

hey, can i upgrade my psp to 2.7 from 2.6 to downgrde?

# Guest 2006-09-08 00:24

# Doesnt Work on 2.8 but doesnt brick either — Guest 2006-09-08 06:17

So i tested this on my 2.8 and it didnt work.

it adds the files to the memory stick but doesnt install them correctly. no "red screen" appears like its supposed to.

but the good news is it doesnt brick it either.

so lets just hope for a 2.8->1.5 downgrader soon

# Does this work on PSP-1000 (jap model) — Guest 2006-09-08 09:50

I'm a little worried about this working on my PSP, since it was originally a v1.00 PSP-1000 model.

I had trouble finding a v2.71 update before, so I could downgrade my v2.60 PSP back to v1.50.

# Guest 2006-09-09 06:32

IF you download lite do you still need a 1.50 files

# Brick? — Guest 2006-09-09 09:12

what does mean to brick your psp

# works flawlessly — Guest 2006-09-09 11:35

really really REALLY impressed guys. i found the full version downgrader, it took about ten tries (got scared sometimes cuz the screen froze while the memory card was blinking), but then i got the red screen and it was smooth sailing. i'm amazed and i reccommend this wholeheartedly to everyone.

i had a 2.0 PSP, upped to 2.6 (stupid stupid me), upped to 2.71 (search for the file on psp vault if you need the upgrade), and boom i'm all good.

only thing is now, i got a GTA game that's unpatched that i no longer need anymore (heh heh). maybe i'll put more time into actually playing the game itself now...

peace yall, follow all directions and downgrade with confidence!

COMPLAINING. so shut the ***** up. u ppl who say u can downgrade 2.80 post a vid on youtube or google video.

# jeez this downgrader nonesense — Guest 2006-09-11 12:34

man 2.80-2.81 users you got to *****ing chill dont upgrade intell it says 2.80 firmware downgrade * btw your not 2.71 so u couldnt leave a comment about using the downgrader so leave here please * besides the people testing to see if it really does work on 2.80 Welcome

# worked totally fine for me — Guest 2006-09-14 01:49

I have a white Japanese PSP that had 2.70 on it to begin with. I was super nervous about bricking my PSP but the forums I read seemed to have limitted "I got bricked comments" many of them I suspect are fake and planted by SONY...anyway

I upgraded to 2.71 and then downloaded

Downgrader2.71FULL.exe

I reformated a 128MB Memory stick turned off the wifi switch (I read that on someones's comment) and ran the exe. It was SUPER easy...much easier than I suspected.

I loaded the file onto the PSP as instructed and then opened photos to get the RED screen. That lasted about 30 seconds or so with some intermittent memory stick light flashing. When it was done the PSP powered off.

Just to be safe I removed the power cable and the battery and counted to 10 and then powered on. It started up in the corrupt screen as the instructions said and after pressing O it rebooted in 1.5 AOK.

For all those noobs that are worried I say go for it. It's very easy and very step by step...you don't need anything other than Downgrader2.71FULL.exe and a memory stick.

have fun

# Upgraded to 2.71 — Guest 2006-09-18 10:56

let me say that clearly.

If i do everything according to the tutorial, will I be successful in downgrading from 2.71 to 1.50, or will i be stuck with an overly-complicated paperweight? plz reply. thx.

psp.xtrusion.es

if your concerned about bricking DONT DO IT! there is an aspect of risk involved

all that said and done, i have had a 100% success rate

Well done guys

# Wont turn red — Guest 2006-10-30 12:50

I Had version 2.60 but couldnt find any good downgraders so I upgraded to 2.71 and tried with the full version but when I go into the photo section described, the memory light blinks but the screen does not turn RED and after a while it says that it cant open the image. And when its done and so the corrupt message does not turn up.

What should I do?
