Fanjita's slice of homebrew heaven - PSP firmware 3.50 Downgrader out NOW!!!

Sony PSP - Image 1 


Just a few days after announcing that they managed to sniff out the Illuminati exploit for PSP firmware 3.50, the Noobz team is letting the community know they've hit pay dirt - the firmware 3.50 firmware downgrader is here! Now we can all have a slice of homebrew-heaven as this'll allow all commercial Sony firmwares to be downgradable back to firmware 1.50 - the gateway to Dark Alex's Custom Firmwares.

The team further notes that the downgrader is for firmware 3.50 - which means those wanting to downgrade must upgrade to the said firmware first. Fanjita's downgrader includes a port of Homebrew ENabler (HEN) for firmware 3.50 which will automatically detect existing PSP motherboards, and will take the proper steps for the downgrade. As a recap, the Noobz team advises users to have the following ready:
  1. A PSP, upgraded to the official Sony v3.50 firmware. You should also set your language settings to "English".
  2. A legal Lumines UMD, either the EU (ULES00043) or US (ULUS10002) version. The original, Platinum, or Greatest Hits versions are all fine. Support for the Japanese version will come soon.
  3. Sufficient intelligence and english language skills to be able to carefully and thoroughly read the instructions.
  4. It would also help if you've previously run the Illuminati Hello World, so that you're familiar with how to run the Illuminati exploit.
Of course, considering it's still in its early stage of development, risks can't be avoided. So Fanjita and his Noobz team issue these warnings:
  • Any downgrader carries some risk of permanently damaging your PSP. We've done everything we can to remove as much danger as possible, but if you choose to use this downgrader, you are accepting all of the risk involved. Nobody else will be held responsible for any damage to your PSP, howsoever caused.
  • Recent Sony official firmwares (3.30 onwards) have included checks that block upgrade from previously-downgraded PSPs with TA-082 or later motherboards. If you use this downgrader on such a PSP, you will lock yourself out of official firmware updates - although you will still be able to use new OE firmwares when they are released. We intend to release a tool to allow a return to official firmwares in the future.
  • This software is provided free of charge, so that you can use legitimate homebrew on your PSP. You are explicitly prohibited from selling it, or using it to pirate commercial games or applications. If you want to play a commercial game, do the decent thing and support the developers by buying it. If you don't, then YOU are contributing to the death of the PSP software industry.
Full installation and usage instructions should be available in the bundle Downgrader_HOWTO.txt file - we strongly advise users to read that very carefully before doing anything else. Another thing to note is that this exploit is a "secret" kernel mode that, according to Fanjita, they've been hanging on to.

Also, this groundbreaking exploit was made possible thru the aid of many figures in the PSP homebrew scene. Fanjita wishes to give credit to the following:
  • Everyone who has contributed to the ps2dev.org toolchain, without which none of the Noobz software would ever have been possible
  • Archaemic for his original input into the Illuminati exploit
  • Dark_AleX and Mathieulh, for their work on custom firmwares, HEN and the downgrader core
  • The various websites who continue to develop and support the homebrew community. You know who you are, and we're not going to stir up site politics by mentioning any specific sites.
That's it for the moment, although the Noobz team's other future projects include a fix for guys stuck on PSP fw 3.10 or 3.11, and an eLoader for v3.50 HEN.

Ah yeah

Last time I missed out on cashing in on the exploit, so many copies of GTA sold and I missed it. Anyways I'm glad for this exploit, people can now buy a new PSP and end up with a completely homebrew compatible one.
by - 2007-06-26 15:50:17
homebrew just keeps going and going and going

not that i or anyone i know can use this (i've switched everyone i know's psp to custom firmware), i heartily congratulate the devs for their stunning work. keep sticking it to the S-ny man!

Great Job

I'm still waiting for people to stop upgrading their older PSPs.. less people want downgrader, more room for devs to develop other hacks and such. :) Gratz to noobz and company. :3

Forgot to mention earlier

On the Noobz website they wanted all news articles to link to the donation thing so they can be paid for their work by those willing since it seems to be forgotten I figured I should mention it.

what is the difference between DevHook Supported 1.62 IE-D Update2 and Custom Firmware 3.40 OE. ANd what is HEN?
by - 2007-06-26 16:45:37
Maybe

The psp's might sell more but the games will lower.

Stuck on 3.10/3.11?

How does one get "stuck" on Sony FW 3.10 or 3.11? Anyway, thanks Noobz/Dark_AleX/Fanjita and everyone else involved in making the PSP worth buying.

Excellent work, guys. Even though I already have a homebrew-compatible PSP, I'm glad to hear about this. It could only be good for the community to get as many new people into the scene as this exploit likely will.

by - 2007-06-26 17:36:11
QJ!! QJ!! QJ!! READ Korlithiel's post!!!!

BTW, WAY TO GO!! IM FREAKIN SHOCKED AT HOW SIMPLE AND EASY TO GET A GAME. the game is rated E to that way everyone can downgrade unlike the m ratings which lmited some people. plus its a win-win situation. we get downgrades and homebrew and the devs of the game get sales increase. nothing to lose....yet.
by - 2007-06-26 17:43:15
Yes, it's possible.

If you have a TA-082 or TA-086 motherboard and downgrade, the IPL keys become corrupted and you can only upgrade once from 1.50. If you do not run a fix EBOOT prior to upgrading again to an official higher firmware, you'll only be able to do so once, but any attempts of future upgrades will fail.
by lansingone - 2007-06-26 17:52:13
great news

i have a friend that could use this, he's been waiting a long time to do all the things i can do

Anyone wanna help me out?

I don't want to sound like an idiot here but if anyone has successfully done this can you help me out a bit? I have 3.50 HEN and I'm attempting to downgrade to 1.5. I made a copy of the EBOOT.PBP file and renamed it UPDATE.PBP, then added the renamed file back into the PSP/GAME/UPDATE file (yes i have the original EBOOT.PBP in there still). Now when i run the Ver X.YZ update it does everything as it should but says: "Error decrypting DATA.PSP - Check UPDATE.PBP is valid update EBOOT" What am I doing wrong??

One question

in the downgrade specifies if you have TA82+ you can't update to 3.30+ sony firmwares. Does it apply to custom firmwares too? cause i don't want to keep 1.5. I prefer 3.30OE
by - 2007-06-27 01:25:59
Welcome!

Welcome to the world of homebrew! 3.10 to 3.50 psp users!!! Good Luck guys on downgrade!!!

by - 2007-06-27 01:57:47

my friend has a ta-82 psp and he wants to downgrade it. will his work on ta-82 motherboards? (he definately will only be using custom firmwares after this.)
by - 2007-06-27 02:39:11

Yes. x.yz (downgrader) will ask you: 'you have ta082blabla, do u want to patch the motherboard, if yes press X to continue'
by - 2007-06-27 03:47:50
g

sounds like you renamed the EBOOT.PBP that came with the downgrader, your suppose to rename the 1.50 update EBOOT.PBP to UPDATE.PBP and copy it to PSP/GAME/UPDATE
by - 2007-06-27 04:24:00
japanese lumines doesnt work please help!!!

i bought the japanese version of lumines and it keeps create a new save it wont load the ones from the exploit!! please guys we need to downgrade too!! thanx for everything you do!!
by - 2007-06-27 04:37:26
too bad

Hmm great stuff by Fanjita and his team but this will surely piss off Sony. Most dumbasses are pirating games with this new exploit and the psp sales are further going down. It's a shame for the whole scene. Thanks for this release, i'm ordering a copy of Lumines so i can run Irshell and movies on 480x272 full resolution.

Firmware ...

It fine to upgrade to any custom firmware, just stay away from Official Sony firmware now, which would defeat the purpose of downgrading anyways so go ahead with any custom firmware you choose from now until forever ...

it call backup :)

Why E ESSS YES !

i was so happy when this downgrader came out, i was at 3.40 an hour before i came on this site it said it might be a couple of days weeks, or months and i was just happy that they had found an exploit , but then an hour later i came on and read in big bold letters, 3.50 DOWNGRADER IS HERE, after that went to a video rental store, Upgraded to 3.50 , downgraded to 1.5 , back up to 3.03 OE-C and here i am picking out custom backgrounds themes and playing my favourite ps1 games, that just makes me wanna jump for joy. GREAT JOB n00bz team !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by GreekMagic - 2007-06-27 07:02:07
few questions sorry if they're noobish

Im living in Japan with a US 3.5 PSP and wondering whats the best option. Should I buy a Lumines and downgrade to the 1.5? Or should I just look for someone that has it...cause you only need to use the game once to downgrade...right? Why not wait for a Dark Alex 3.5 OE and have all the additions of the newest firmwares such as communicating to your ps3? I need some help. Thanks.
by - 2007-06-27 07:09:25
It works!!!

I downgraded my psp earlier and had no problems at all! Thanx alot!!!

Stuck on 3.11 what that mean?

So a new PSP with 3.11 can not be downgraded? Or is only one that was downgraded in the past and moved to 3.11/3.10. I have a new PSP at 3.11 and would love to do the homebrew.

Motherboard

Does anyone one know how to identifythe motherboard of a PSP? I know that I don't have a TA-82, and I bought my PSP 6 month after it's release in Europe, so theoretically I'm save since I want to have the ability to revert back to the official firmgrade. Can some one confirm if I'm save or not?

3.50 DOWNGRADER

DOWNGRADER WORK'D I'M @ 1.5 HOW DO I GET CFW ON PSP
by - 2007-06-27 09:05:00
Works

I just tried this on a 2.81 FW PSP with the original MotherBoard . It worked seamlessly and without any problems. I downgraded to 1.5 installed the 1.5 recovery and then upgraded to 3.40 OE firmware. All is well. Thanks alot.

the dg comes out a week after i sell my 3.10 psp >_< but nice work though

Too bad

Too bad I don't need this cause i already downgraded from 3.03 and have 3.03 OE-C

eyes

It is ok to ask a question, but why is it so damned hard for some people to browse forums and have a look for themselves instead of just throwing out a question. If you want to know how to install a custom firmware from 1.5, just look in in the qj forums which has tons of guides already, so I AM not going to tell you how to do it dammit.

They say it's a virtue. Our original supply of a Japanese UMD fell through, so we're working on getting another copy at the moment.
by - 2007-06-28 06:34:41
idiots

Whilst I believe the new downgrader is good for the homebrewers amongst us, I don't believe it is as good for the software devs as some may think. First of all, those losers who are selling Lumines on eBay at $100USD plus, its almost worse than piracy itself. These bastards are profiteering on the back of the software devs work for none of which they have contributed to period. All they have done is bought the game cheap and jack the value up so some ass would pay stupid amounts of money for an ok sort of game. Maybe this could be a good business plan for $ony, release an "unhackable" update, then release a game with an exploit to hack it and make millions from the idiots who pay stupid amounts of money for it. As for me, I have two PSPs with 3.40OE and another which has 3.30 official (is actually my sister's boyfriends PSP which he foolishly updated) which needs a downgrading. I am just going to sit a couple of weeks and watch the value of it drop. Which it will, because once more people are running OE, more are going to sell their copies of Lumines at next door to bugger all. That will be the time to buy.

Fanjita you are FREAKING AWESOME! All I can say is MAN! DANG WOOOoooooooo! 3.50 downgrader! GREAT work keep it up! I've got OE fw already but this'll help my friend out alot! Also guys, don't flame me just gettin the word around, but im trying to get a new MP3 player to replace my broken one :( as you may have already seen in another topic... What you do is you sign up for XPango (by clicking my reference link at the bottom of this post that brings you to xpango), and then use a reference code someone gives you (like mine below) when you complete a free offer, they get one credit towards their item UPON YOU completing a free offer with their referral code used, and you can have people do it for you too. If anyone wants to help me, my link and Ref code are as follows: My link: http://www.xpango.com?ref=90509197 Ref number 90509197 Thanks if you choose to help. Just sign up, and complete one of the free offers to help me get a credit towards my MP3 player. I would REALLY appreciate it. (BTW make sure its the FREE offers you do, wouldn't feel right to ask anyone to pay for anything to help me get something free)

Sorry for a stupid question, I have searched and searched. I have a TA-082 with 2.71 firmware from sony, so I don't have to upgrade to 3.50 then downgrade? I think I just downgrade to 1.5 then upgrade to CFW? I see some posts saying with a TA-082 you can only upgrade once with CFW? am I on the right track so far? what would be the best CFW to upgrade to so far? Sorry it the questions are boring, I just can't find any people into this in NZ. Chea!

Learning.....

Sorry for a stupid question, I have searched and searched. I have a TA-082 with 2.71 firmware from sony, so I don't have to upgrade to 3.50 then downgrade? I think I just downgrade to 1.5 then upgrade to CFW? I see some posts saying with a TA-082 you can only upgrade once with CFW? am I on the right track so far? what would be the best CFW to upgrade to so far? Sorry it the questions are boring, I just can't find any people into this in NZ. Chea! Any help would be greatly appreictiated
