No 2.60/2.70 yet, though...


Before anything else, we have to put up a disclaimer. When you mess with your firmware, you stand the chance of bricking your system. Let us repeat that once more: tinkering with firmware versions can render your PSP deader than roadkill. So. 0okm just released a downgrader from 2.50 to 1.50.

Yes indeed: 0okm claims to have come up with a 2.50 TA-082 SoftDown downgrader to 1.50. All you 2.60/2.71 users, however, still have to wait. It's time to tread lightly, folks, because 0okm requires people to email their own ISP email, PSP serial number, and FW dump Data. Here's 0okm's statement:

if your PSP is FW2.50 TA-082 and you

  1. Trust me & support me
  2. Agree NOT share my program & softdowned FW dump data to anyone
  3. you know "Flash write" program may brick the PSP and Use it at your own Risk
  4. you have a "ISP email Acc"

Q: Why need Trust me ?

A: because you need to give me your "ISP email", "PSP Serial Number" and "FW dump DATA".

Q: Why can't shared my program to other
A: because each program just for one PSP, other PSP use it will brick !!
Q: What happen if you shared my program & softdowned FW dump data to anyone ?
A: i will RELEASE ALL your personal information and STOP help people SoftDown !!!


Ok, so now that you know 0okm's terms, it's going to be up to you to decide. As we said, we have to tread lightly on this. It's pretty sensitive information you're giving out, so it's your call if you want to take up 0okm's offer. If you do agree with the terms, you'd have to email them in so you can find out what to do next. There's more info behind the Read link, so for those who want to pursue this, click below.

Good work. Don't have a TA-082 myself, but well done... Hardware encryption is deadly!

So is the private information so that people won't try to modify and release your downgrader for 2.71 while you're still perfecting it? Or does the process simply require that kind of info?

It's not a hoax. First off, it's 0okm, that's enough evidence for me. But for you non-believers, he only wants your information so he knows EXACTLY who leaked it, so he can make you pay. Or something.

» Idiots

This guy has put lots of effort into working on a T082 soft downgrader and no one has even shown any appreciation.



You guys don't deserve anything and as for those who are asking for a 2.8 downgrader, it serves your stupid impatient ass right for upgrading in the first place and for those who might have some how purchased an already 2.8 firmware Psp you should have done your home work first.



Although I don't havce a T082 Psp I still say a big thanks to Ookm for working on this but I am surprised you actually bothered judging by the ungrateful immature and impatient idiots in this Psp scene. To number 23, Ookm has proved he knows what he is talking about when it comes to working with the Psp and I think the real question is what have you ever done for the Psp scene.

» 2.71 dg

Didn't 0okm say if we had 2.5 with TA-082 motherboards we should upgrade to 2.71 because the downgrader would support 2.71? Now I'm wondering why the hell I upgraded for if the downgrader only supports 2.5. >:(

second of all, 2.8 users will be playing homebrew and isos within a month or two so get used to it.

by Sephiroth2906 - 2006-10-02 14:11
» The reason

Sounds to me like the reason he needs your information is that what he has discovered has to be tailor made for each PSP, somehow genrated by the serial, which is not entiirely implausable. If you were to share your custom made softdown, it would surly brick the hapless PSP it was run on. I am not saying this is defiantly not a scam, just saying that there could be a perfectly understadable reason for his needing your PSP info.

BTW, lots of 10 year olds post here, huh?

Buy another PSP with 2.71 or lower.

by CanisLupus - 2006-10-02 15:42
» FW Data

Think about this. He needs to know the your psp serial number and FW Dump data or something. So if you email him, he will probaly give you an eboot to load with the kernal exploit or something to get specific data of your psp since there are going to be slight differences for the firmware files of different PSPs because of the mac adresses and all of that. So he probaly needs to make the write files correspond correctly to your PSPs statistics. This is dangerous stuff editing the 1.5 files to allow the TA-082 motherboards to work on its different voltage, so every possible condition needs to be looked at.

Although I don't have a TA-082 PSP this is nice for those who do. As for the info he needs It wouldn't bother me if he threatened to release my info. As my ISP gives me 5 different E-Mail addresses 3 of them I don't even use so I could give him one of those. My PSPs serial number isn't important to me as I have never registered it anywhere. Lastly my firmware info is not that big of a deal either I mean what can someone do with that. So if he released my info if I "accidentally" gave out this software it would not matter to me I would just laugh at him.

I have 2 PSPs a 1.5 and a TA-082 at 2.71. Since I can do anything and everything on my 2.71 that I can with my 1.5 (because of dark alex). I see no point in downgrading..



Still great work 0okm.

by ikarius - 2006-10-02 17:21
» Um...

While I don't have anything against this whole thing, and also this doesn't concern me since I got a virgin 1.5, I stop here and think more about the personal information release.



Releasing people's personal informations, even if they agreed over this, is something quite illegal and is not something anyone would approve. ISP email reveals many informations about your account. I don't believe such extreme as being necessary, and I say people shouldn't put trust into this. Sorry 0okm, but this extreme is not something that makes you in your advantage. Even how good of a coder you are, releasing people personal informations is just a moronic idea that could not only put those people into a bad position, it would also makes your own personal image through the scene be affected as well.



This part of the message is to QJ.net: I never complained against you whatsoever, although, this shouldn't be on the front page considering the requirements VS the extreme. As much as I am happy to see downgraders coming out letting more and more people enjoy the homebrew/emulator on PSP world, I wouldn't like to see people getting their personal informations released because of a misunderstandin g or a mistake from the author of this software (this could happen and often happen. Miscommunicatio n, something happened, someone gets accused who is not guilty and get their informations released and something happens with those) because for two things, someone will be in trouble, and this trouble can come back on your nose as you become as liable as 0okm for releasing the news on the front page so encouraging people to blindlessly give their sensitive informations. Even the warnings you give is not enough due to the seriousness of the situation.



I know what I just said will bring a lot of flamer, flame all you want I can careless. I am just warning people in power that this is an extreme that can lead to bad conclusions. If you flame me, then, send your personal informations, but don't whine to anyone if something happens.

by none - 2006-10-02 17:26
» blah

i think ookm is trying to protect people from bricking, and protecting himself from having the responsibility of that. his downgrader is individual psp specific. if some clown gives his downgrade soft to his friends, they will all brick, so i think the point of all this is to protect people, rather than punishing them for releasing his software

by ikarius - 2006-10-02 17:33
» I understand....

I understand that, but I still think the personal informations revealing thing is quite an extreme. If he's so scared people would brick other people's PSP, or whatever... why does he release something like this in the first place ? I am sure he could come up with something to secure the whole thing to make a build specifically for this PSP and wouldnt be able to work on any other, you get what I mean ? If you don't want something to be released outside this specific person, you got to figure out something that will disallow anyone to use it once it's been executed or something like that. I know it's harder than it sounds, but everyone knows how people are right ?



Even if some idiot releases it... his informations gets released, ok, we got that part. But there will be a little PSP bomb traveling around the net, and this won't be the responsability of the leaker, but of the programmer, and if this responsability is added to a leak from the programmer of personal informations, do you imagine how much of a mediatic blast it'll do ? And what will happen prior to that ?



I say, this should've been thought twice before release.

by Manchester Bloke - 2006-10-02 22:07
» Don't get it...

Why doesn't 0okm tell other people the process on how to downgrade the TA82s instead of trying to rescue the entirwe worlds population of TA-082s all by himself....



If you are reading this and think you have the slightest chance of getting yours done by this guy you're mistaken.



Garunteed some idiot will leak the useless program and 0okm will initiate is silly plan of releasing this persons details and stopping the downgrade help. And I believe the only purpose of releasing your details would be to let everyone know who it was...



Why on earth isn't 0okm able to say "look, here's how you analyse the dump" and "heres where you get the information..."



I say it is a rediculous Idea to try and downgrade the lot by himself and at the same time to trust people not to release the program aswell. Its been seen above that idiots are just waiting to get hold of it and release it because they just want to prove for some reason that they don't care if their details are released...



Waste of time if you ask me....this method will not work for downgrading everyones psp fairly. Go back to the drawing board and work out a PROPER mothod of downgrading them and release the details and files on how to do it...

B) No, they probably already know this. Please be quiet and don't be fools yourselves, spamming the whole thing.

C) Wait with updating until a release is out, wait a few days still, just to know if there are many bricks already, wait a few days more until a new release or patch is out - and for God's sakes don't complain or ask questions before you have read the READMEs that are released with basically every program that is released in the entire computer world! RTFM!

» Hard to believe

Is it me or no one ever actually saw 0okm's software?



It's easy for anyone to claim : "I have done a 2.80 downgrader but I can't share it unless you give me your isp mail etc etc" and that in the end no one recieves it.



If this TA-082 downgrader is so real, then why doesn't 0okm share his method with all of us ? When I worked on the 1.00/2.60/2.71 downdaters I don't recall hinding anything to anyone, the method was made available even before the actual working version got released.



Why can't just 0okm make a public statement regarding this?



I see either 2 reasons, either there is no downgrader at all and all of this is BS, either the method 0okm is trying right now is illegal.



Unless he proves I am wrong I wont believe him.

Ookm can really be an ass when he wants to, huh? He could very well get in a good bit of trouble with Sony over what he's doing, and yet he threatens to release all your personal information if you break his own rules.



I don't see what good the whole "trust" factor is going to do anyways. Regardless of what Ookm or anyone else says, there'll bound to be a torrent with everything necessary for downgrading a couple days after this really picks up.



Supposing you get your PSP downgraded via this method. What happens to your personal info afterwards? Will Ookm delete it? I doubt it, so if you ask me, he's just begging for trouble with what he's doing.



Thank god for not having a TA-082.

» Good points have been made

Just ask yourself this, could you imagine Fanjita, Dark Alex or Mathieulh threatening to release your personal details like this and in the same sentence asking for trust?



I don't think so some how. Now that I have thought about this more and read through some surprisingly good points in this blog, it makes absolutely no sense for some guy to single handly try to downgrade all T082 users who want this in such an ineficient way.





Threatening to release peoples personal details is something I expect from those who simply cannot be trusted. The Psp homebrew scene is usually about sharing information and when it comes to downgraders, this is usually done. Another thing that is very suspect is that I remember Ookm saying that it would be a good idea to upgrade to 2.71 for the downgrader but now he is saying those will have to wait.



The whole thing is starting to sound like complete bs and even if he can really do this, threatening to release peoples personal information is not something anyone should be proud of. I also expected QJ.net to consider this more as well. Yes it is up to people to make their own decision but QJ didn't even raise the red flag at all. Maybe Ookm thinks he is a God and can do whatever he wants just because he has supposedly created the ''impossible''. Trust is a two way thing and he has violated it before even doing anything so he can take his damn downgrader and he can................erm release the source and do it properly :)

» Never release your personal information

Never release your personal information on the internet/phone, etc. No matter what the person claims they can do, especialy when they threaten to release it. There is a downgrader for 2.71 by Dark Alex, and if this 2.5 downgrader is not a hoax, it will be released by a more reliable source within the week. Im disapointed with QJ staff for even posting this, your just encouraging people to take his offer.

» 0okm is taking everybody for a hoax ride...

Hoax hoax hoax. I too followed 0okm's blog for a while and between the BS there is also some good info that's why it is easy to beleive him.



Like swapping the X-O by looking at button_assign and going 15 bytes further and changing the value to 1, this worked for my JAP ta-82 (again this correct info he just got from elsewhere ofcourse, being the tiff font hack app to change the fonts etc on 2.x firmware). And yes his little program that prints out a green line of text or a red one if you have 2.5 or 2.6 also works. That's about it. But writing a little program to check your firmware version is an entirely different ball game than decrypting your boot image and replacing it with one that allows you to boot 1.5. Anyway it is not needed anymore since dark alex's work is making 2.71 the new golden homebrew firmware! Using Dark Alex Homebrew Enabler C, Ta-82's can already run gpSP (best gba emu for psp) they can run most user-mode stuff and already can run devhook allowing loading of iso's in 2.71. So why even bother to downgrade??? Just wait a little more for the next version of HEN from Dark Alex and even kernel homebrew in static elf format will run on your ta-82 making 1.5 obsolete...



I agree with the previous posts that 0okm should just explain the procedure instead of trying to get people's personal info to do it. If it can be done, it can and should also be explained how it's done. He remains very vague about what he will do with your info and does not really explain why he needs it in the first place (apart from creating some magical boot images to let you run 1.5 on a ta-82).



So why try and hoax us? Well thats easy to answer: google adds. By posting these items giving people 'false' hope everybody goes to check out his blog out of curiosity. This gives him many hits on his blog and creates a nice healthy income sum from his google adds (since some people click on the adds related to free psp games etc...). Also he encourages people to donate with paypal, same reason: making money of gullable people...



Notice that the real hacker like Dark Alex even does not put adds on his site to create revenue, he does it all for the love of the community and shares his knowledge, now that's true commitment!!! Again Dark Alex thanks for your work man!



Well that's my 2 cents about it.

Yep, that sounds ghey to me... What does he care if something is given out and the other person bricks his stuff because they are morons and don't understand the idea of a downgrader for specialized firmware? He can't be legally held responcible for a situation like that. By posting what he did in the FAQ he's just proving what a lame ass he's trying to be. What he should have done is coded an app that will allow users to dump their own firmware and create their own downdaters, not half-ass it (that's right, HALF-ASS it) and release something like that where he has to be involved... pretty soon I can see people starting to charge for ***** like this and call it "help out". WTF?



I have some advise for all you TA owners out there... go buy yourself a USED PSP that doesn't have on TA motherboard and do whatever you want with it. Either that or use the new PRX homebrew devs instead and be happy. This is stupid... even for 0okm.

From what he's saying, your only other hope of having a 1.5 PSP other than downgrading through his *ahem* shady methods, is to buy one from _his_ sponsor. Doesn't that strike anyone as odd?

You're quite right. Watch. I bet you that's what'll happen if people start sharing this stuff. Instead of actually stopping helping people altogether (which really isn't feasible, because someone's bound to figure it out what exactly his method involves), he'll probably start charging an inane price for his assistance.

2.8ers have a right to complain. if the homebrew community was so "gracious", they would do all they can to help these "nubs" or "newbs" in order to keep a harmonious community. then again, the real picture is that most of you kids are as dumb as those from the columbine shooting and being bullied or whatnot, so i can't blame you guys for expressing yourselves in a non-hostile manner. bottom line is, if there is a chance anyone could find a 2.8 exploit, that would be wonderful. it's only a matter of time.

» brick...

1. A brick is a block made of kiln-fired material, usually clay or ground shale. Clay bricks are formed in a mould (the soft mud method), or in commercial manufacture more frequently by extruding clay through a die and then wire-cutting them to the proper size (the stiff mud process). Brick made from clay that is hardly more than dampened must be formed in molds with a great deal of pressure, usually applied by a hydraulic press.



2. A bricked PSP is one in which the firmware has been corrupted so that the PSP will no longer start up. It has, essentially, become a very nice-looking brick, suitable only for use as a paperweight.

Bricking usually occurs when a homebrew application is incorrectly installed, or a system update is interrupted while in progress.



With the release of the Undiluted Platinum PSP modchip there is now hope for bricked PSPs. Because the modchip can take over from the PSP's original flash memory, bricked PSPs can be restored to a working state using the chip.

Also, a text file containing the serial and dump data (or any other type of file, not just .txt) can be loaded.

0okm provably does not want to be held responsible for hundreds of bricked psp's, as he has said each psp needs unique data to downgrade, if someone starts to distribute his program people will blame him even though he has told not to use the files nesecery to downgrade to another psp.

And people cover the MAC address up because every network device ever made in the world has a unique MAC address which is very easily traced or use to identify you as the person in a video if someone was to look at your PSP and match up the MAC with a certain video.

All 0okm is doing is letting you know what is at risk if, for some reason, your tailored made program/dump info would get leaked.



Personally i like people who let you know up front what is at risk before you commit to something, wish M$ would be like that.

» What's With The Hostility?

Ok, from what I can tell, nobody has used 0okm's downgrader. I can understand some naysaying and such, but there's alot of hostility here. The way I see it, 0okm has a fairly decent reputation, and probably deserves a bit more respect. Why don't we wait and see what actually happens before we call it a scam or a hoax. Also, I can't help but notice all the hostility towards people who upgraded their PSP's to 2.8 or whatever. Give me a break! Some people just don't know, or are just learning. You can't expect everyone to know about homebrew when they get their PSP's and know what they should be looking for in their hardware at the time of purchase. Anyway, with that said... I think people should try to be a little less hostile here and have a little patience.

So an ISP is any email address?



Come on guys, u can't bash it until you've tried it. As 131 said "what's 0okm going to do? Email you?" Apparently, none of you have 2.5 TA-082 PSPs anyway.



And the serial number is the number on the bottom of your PSP, not the mac address that they blur out in the videos.



I support 0okm and I have a factory 2.6 TA-082 PSP and i'm waiting for him to release the next version of his downgrader.

» Another way...

Possibly, there is another way to downgrade TA-082 PSP's. Take a look at this post and it may help; although it is only speculation and not tested yet.

Remember it's not tested yet, and it DOES have a disclaimer for if it fails.

» One More Morality Rant!

Okay, so you think 0okm is trying to scam, or that the guy before you is an idiot... but are all the "****" and the "******" really neccessary? People read these posts to get information. I for one would like to know whether or not this "softdown" downgrader is working or not. I'm honestly not worried if that 2.80er is an idiot for upgrading, or that your the first post, it is irrelevant. I have a 2.71 TA-082 PSP, I upgraded for HEnC and DevHook and I'm happy at the moment. I would still enjoy the benefits of 1.5 but for now I'm satisfied, I have some homebrew. My point is, people shouldn't take this so personally, it's a PSP, not a career. Most of these posts aren't even on topic, and are far from informative. I for one would love to see this downgrader in action, but I know I'll have to wait. If it doesn't work for 2.71 it's no big deal, I have homebrew as it is, it could be worse. For the 2.80ers if the past is any indication of the future, the wait for a downgrader shouldn't be too long. Especially if 0okm comes through on this one!

» future

I can see it now.

Because of all the morons complaining about this, he's going to give up on the project.

But it won't stop there, because now the same selfish bastards that where complaining will continue to complain, and say he's a liar and never had a downgrader to begin with.



If I had any PSP coding skills at all, I would just use them for myself, and not share a thing, because there are just too many ungrateful arses in the PSP community.

» My 2 cents

First off I havent read oakms updated blog on this softdown but I believe he said previously this should work on fw up to 2.71 as long as your fw was *factory* 2.5 in the begining. Secondly I don't believe he is going to use the personal information for personal gain I believe its used to make the ownsoft custom your your psp harware specs. When I bought my first psp in the begining of August 2006 and found more out about the scene and my mobo being a TA-082 I believed Oakm was going to be my best bet but not with Dark Alex's release of Hen revision c and devhook I can basically do everything that a 1.5er can do so I don't believe there is any point of downgrading now because soon enough 2.71 is going to be the new golden fw. Now if that I didnt have dark alex's release I sure would have went ahead with this because I don't believe Oakm would purposely do anything harmful towards you or your info as long as your not a moron and share the same respect as shown. I do agree with a few other points previously such as him sharing his discoveries so other developers could help with the downgrade process because even Oakm himself previosly stated on his blog he could only help approx. 5 people a day downgrade and compared to how many are out that would take forever. I also believe he shouldn't have threatened to release people information even though I know he is just worried about the personalized softdown being released and bricking holding him responsible but if he was asking for trust he should show some instead he should have just explained that if someone had released the program that he personalized for them they themselves would basically be releasing their own info as it was written in the code and would point you out as the rat so just don't do it. Well anywho thats just my two cents I believe overall hes a good guy just tring to help out the scene but he should be a bit more practical/rational with what he releases. Good work just maybe a little late. -dialtone

Well if u know u aint going to share it, just downgrade and live with it.....so dxmn simple, no hassle

by the way stop flaming on 2.80 users, as i myself am one of them too, and some of us just lost hope or something but it aint fair for us, that u flame us. we dont have to follow all of ya just because u didnt downgrade.

» agreed 164 and others

That's it isn't it? He does not release any real info because he does not have anything working. Meanwhile his blog is being visited a lot just by giving this false info over and over again. He is making money of the adds, same with the iso loader for ta-82 that never got released only a snipped of code that seems to do some stuff. But the usefull C-code that would actually emulate the umd is left out for the plain reason that he did not write it yet. He says so but untill I see some vids on youtube of his 'working' downgraders and iso loaders he remains a clever scam/add ware artist to me.



I compiled his given C code and then tried to modify it to get umd emulation going on my ta-82. Conclusion, all the hard work still had to be done. I stopped because it is now already possible with HEN C + devhook from dark alex for the ta-82. So no need to spend time writing it anymore :)



Like said before this is hoax, use Dark Alex's HEN revision C for homebrew and iso loading etc... And just stop visiting his blog it is a scam!

Noobz has not canceled work on a 2.8 eloader. FNORD. (off topic, what the hell does FNORD mean anyway?) JoeRock, if you say they canceled it again, i will blow you up and throw you in the back of my pick em up truck. some way to treat us 2.8ers. ill bet 10 people have updated to 2.81 because of people like you.

Hey JOEROCK, as big a jerk as seem to be, I partly agree with you. It seems that Noobz isn't even working on a 2.8 eLoader right now. It also seems like Fanjita's abandoned 2.8ers, due to the fact that he called it crippled firmware and said that they wasted his time by upgrading. Personally, I've lost faith in the Noobz team. I just hope Dark_Alex succeeds where the Noobz team will inevitebly fail.

by xfadex999 - 2006-10-20 09:42
» Well

I'm not saying they'll NEVER work on it, I'm just saying that they seem to be more concerned with 2.71 right now (like EVERYONE else). It's frustrating to know that I still can't do much with my 2.8, but I'm just going to wait, and wait, and wait...until some other dev beats them to it.
