Get it Now: Bug Fix for 2.71 Downdater/Downgrader

Posted Sep 2, 2006 at 10:20AM by QJ Staff Listed in: Hacks & Exploits Tags: Dark-AleX, Downdater, Mathieulh

First thing you do is breathe. You might still be in a state of pure bliss since the news of a 2.71 downdater (downgrader) has reached your ears. Inhale. Exhale.

Second thing is to go over previous coverages of the 2.50/2.60 downgrader. If you've successfully got the first one to work, chances are high that you can achieve the same results with this latest one as well. The installation instructions are nearly identical since it's a port of the previous downdater, so more or less you're already familiar with the ins and outs of the installation process. Still, don't get too complacent, take all necessary precautions and follow given instructions down to the last punctuation mark to avoid getting your PSP bricked.

Last, is to read, understand and read again, the very informative article delving into the specifics of the 2.71 downdater before even thinking of attempting anything. Make a mental note of four PSPs getting bricked for gaming's sake. Think of your PSPs welfare, please.

Now that we've got all bases covered, let's get to the news. The same wonder team (Mathieulh and Dark_Alex) that brought you the 2.71 Downdater, has released a bug fix aimed at a bug that caused premature bricking if the hack to force the unassign/assign of the flash failed. They have also adviced all mirroring sites to have their files updated into this new one.

Thanks a whole bunch to SirByteMaster for the information.

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).

# maybe less attempts — Guest 2006-09-02 05:37

first one worked great ;)

I already bricked my psp with the 2.71 downdater.

# let me get this straight — JOshISPoser 2006-09-02 06:02

This can only downgrade 2.71 and not 2.50 - 2.60? I no it isn't that hard to upgrade but that would be cool if it did work for 2.50 - 2.60. Anywho, on ps2nfo.com they have all the files for downdating including the 1.50 ones. Anyways, awesome file.

# Guest 2006-09-02 06:04

ug...I get so tired seeing posts by people talking about how terrified they are of downgrading. It's like they need their hand held as they go through the entire process, as someone tells them everything is going to be alright the whole time. You're downgrading a PSP, not having a baby. Fact of the matter is, no one is going to garauntee something won't happen to your PSP, you just have to take your chances like everybody else or live with a 2.0+ PSP.

# WELL!!! — Guest 2006-09-02 06:04

well i am thinking to try the last one... hope it works... i checked everything... and can someone give me a trustable files for the last one???

thanks

does it work for 2.8 anyone? aanyone?

# Guest 2006-09-02 06:45

I amstill getting the hello world thing, then i succesfully restarted, what did i do wrong?

# Wrong — Guest 2006-09-02 06:46

This downgrader will not work on 2.8 and there is not even kernel mode in 2.8 firmware yet. If you are not bothered about losing your Psp and plan to buy a 1.5 anyway, why don't you just get it chipped. Not only will you have the best of both worlds, you will also be able to help Devs beta test downgraders of the future. No one has to risk bricking their standard Psp, there are plenty of UP chip users willing to help out as I am.

dont believe him someone tried it already it didnt work, it didnt give him a brick also

# #20 — Guest 2006-09-02 07:04

I did nothing wrong, I just probably got the bug that was fixed in this update.

# your an idiot #46 — Guest 2006-09-02 07:05

2.8 doesnt have kernel mode it only has the standard mode thats why they were able to make a downgrader alot faster with 2.71

do you have a life? period

# HELLO PEOPLE — Guest 2006-09-02 07:12

If it works on 2.8 tell me that you did it successfully on your psp? i want to see a video of a 2.8 psp downgrade... QJ please confirm that there is no chance it could work on a 2.8 psp or is there a chance???

# WHERE DO I PUT THE FILES? — Guest 2006-09-02 07:18

where do i put the d.bin file? INSIDE or OUTSIDE the MP_ROOT folder?

and then where do i put the DOWNDATER files? INSIDE or OUTSIDE the MP_ROOT folder??

im asking this becuase ive been at this downgrader for a lonng time, and it still hasnt worked. it either shuts off before the red screen, or it displays the red screen (very rare) for about 30 seconds and then shuts off.

ABIT *****ING LATE NOW!!! IVE ALREADY BRICKED

# oO — isti 2006-09-02 07:59

some PSP owner, who bricked their machine got owned this time I think..

anyway, I used the 2.5/2.6to1.5 downgrader for my PSP..

but just weeks after it came out..

I checked a lot of forums, opinions, results before started to downgrade..

but coders!

beside telling everyone to use it at own risk, you should take some responsibility before you release anything..

you should think sometimes with a 15year-old's head..

when they see DOWNGRADER FINALLY with wide open eyes, they run into their bricked PSP, who cares about the readme..

please spend more time with your code, to make it more "user-friendly"..

If you do for the community (and you do much) please do it right..

Don't brick your PSP, rent games don't download them.

# ... — Guest 2006-09-02 08:27

The only way to have a 2.7-2.8 PSP is to have upgraded it yourself, because they are not being sold yet, to my knowledge. In other words, we won't be getting a new wave of programmers. On the contrary, we will get a wave of new newbs.

But then again, good luck to the n00bs... and the 2.6ers without GTA...

# f**k sony — Guest 2006-09-02 08:54

why do u idiots care so much about pirated games? ISO launchers are not stopping sony from allowing people to run homebrew code, the potential number of bricks are the reason for the secuirty updates, bricks that sony would be responsible if they allowed the code to run. Patching the psp makes its noob proof and thats excatly what they want.

I downgraded last night, i had a 1.5 psp last december and upgraded and now im back and by f**k im downloading every iso in sight, ive got about 10 games each bought for around £30-£35, that is a f**king rip off and half of them i got bored of so quickly they are just gathering dust......now i think a reasonable price for a psp game should be around £20 and untill they drop to that price i will continue to max out my bandwidth to satisfy my unnatural lust for piracy.

PIRACY WILL NEVER STOP PEOPLE FROM MAKING UMD GAMES

iso's for the win!!

# Don´t be scared — Guest 2006-09-02 08:58

It´s really not that hard to downgrade,

I downgraded with GTA, from 2.60 when the last downgrader came out, and i was so damn scared!

But if you just read everything in the readme, and remember to get the 1.50 files from a reliable person (or site) and doubble-check everything is were it is supposed to,

It should go smooth like butter.

Dark-Alex & Mathieulh would never let us down.

# Excellent Work! — Guest 2006-09-02 09:23

A huge thank you to Dark_Alex, Yoshi, Matiuelh, and everyone else involved. I just finished downgrading my brother's 2.71, and it worked like a charm, once it got started (took about 5 tries to get the red screen). One note: your 1.50 firmware will NOT be clean, but a copy of the firmware of whoever you got the DOWNDATER folder from. Thus, if they have a custom firmware, or a firmware modded by X-Flash, your firmware will have all their mods. One easy way to remove them is to use X-Flash to change your FW number to anything less than 1.50, and the run the 1.50 Update Eboot.

Brilliant work!

# It works!!!!!!!! — Guest 2006-09-02 09:24

This thing worked like a charm on my 2.71!!!!!

I only had to retry 3 times before the TIFF started with the red screen, but after that, everything went perfect!!

My everlasting gratitude goes out to all the people who made this downgrader!!!!

That is just SOOOOO damn funny it makes my side hurt!!

2.8er's thought that this downgrader would work for them. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AAHAH

man that is funny..

anyway.... i used the bug fix version for my 2.71 and it worked like a charm 1st time no harm.

so i thought i'd test this out a bit further by re-upgrading back to 2.71 and then back to 1.5.. did it 5 times without a hitch.

My hat's off to these guys!!!!!

# mis something — Guest 2006-09-02 18:42

i hv 2.01 and dont hv gta, so i wnt to upgrade to 2.71, but i hv read that 2.71 update works only on 1001k models. is this means that if i hvnt 1001k model it willnot work?

# lets get a few things clear — Guest 2006-09-03 00:11

1) read the article at the top before fcing about 2.8.

2) for all users w/a different region psp to the language of the firmware, it doesn't matter. u can still use the different language update with ur own language.

# mem card — JOshISPoser 2006-09-03 04:49

you guys can't forget that you should/need to use a sony card. it was just like downdating to 1.00. you need to use either a sony or 32 mb card. Also, why don't they do one for 2.50-2.60 for peoples without GTA? My bro updated but doesn't have gta. he'll probably go to 2.71 then down i guess. I would think it would be safer to go down from 2.6 then 2.71.

# to number 100 — darknight3050 2006-09-03 04:52

confirm you have a TA-082 motherboard, google it if u dont know, and 2nd, this is normal, becauses its unstable, so retry attempting to view the tiff image, and also confirm you have 2.71, not 2.8, for ur blessed and im not....but enjoy( gosh i wanted to try pvnc, n64, gba, pspsradio and all that) :

# bricked — InsainToTO 2006-09-03 04:59

i bricked my psp doing this crap...i know this downgrader works but you follow the directions carefully...*****

# Guest 2006-09-03 05:53

Woooooo 1st poast u r all noobs

# well well — Guest 2006-09-03 07:09

ok i don't belive this works on 2.8 but ive heard of a few people bricked there 2.8 so that means there is some kernel acces just not enough to read write to all the memory sectors

just thought i should point that out to developers and all the people who want 2.8 downgrader so bad

it wont be a long wait i guess but don't shoot me if it is

great job guys on the downgrader

i F****** tried it and it bricked my psp and i dont no what to do i so frickin mad as hell anyone no how much in the mod chip and does it really unbrick your psp?

# downgrade then upgrade — Guest 2006-09-03 12:10

one thing that i have run into is that once i have downgraded from 2.71, i cant upgrade back to 2.71, is anyone else having this issue?

# GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY!!!! — Guest 2006-09-03 14:34

i have just been informed that the new 2.8 downgrader is coming out November 14. the reason i say this is because that is around the time when 3.0 comes out and since sony only knows there flaw in 2.71 and not 2.8, they cant fix it in 3.0. and therefore, the downgrader has already been made but is waiting for release as soon as 3.0 comes out. be pacient everyone!

# 1C1003 motherboard — Guest 2006-09-03 16:39

does this downgrader work on a 1C1003 motherboard?!?!?! cus the downgrader lite said it would harm my psp...so what should i do

# Guest 2006-09-03 19:09

# downdater folder for 1.50 or w.e — Guest 2006-09-03 19:36

please send the folder of 1.50 or whatever needed..the step two onee...thank u...and i have a question if u downgrade using the fixed downgrader is there a way it could get bricked like me using too many isos or sumfin like dev hook screwing it up like "dirty firmware"

plzz send too shehbaazjhalli@ hotmail.com

thanks

# Guest 2006-09-04 02:52

yea homie this the junk yo downgraded, upgraded, downgraded, upgraded, downgraded again. i just can believe this *****. My PSP 1.5 got messed up from custom firmware bcause i turned it off while it was flashing. Went 2 Walmart and got myself a new one and thank f***** god that junk wasnt TA-082. It was preloaded with 2,6 and for some reason, it worked. HAHaHAHAH and i got custom firmware. SONY KISSES ASS. we got through to downgraders for ALL PSP's except 2.8 and thats on the way because of that hello world that means that the tiff exploit works for the 2.8 right, so why cant that be downgraded is my question. CUz my friend started crying when i showed him my 1.5 and just to piss him off even more, i upgraded and downgraded. DARK ALEX IS A KING YA HEARD

# Guest 2006-09-04 04:06

132: since sony knows that its in 2.71 they will fix it so it wont work in 3.0. they don't have to know that it works in 2.8.

also sony knows that it works on 2.8

133:

1) no.

2) wait for 0okm

everyone: http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/755

it includes the f*cking 1.5 downdater files

# IF U NEED HELP!!!! — Guest 2006-09-04 10:59

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

# well my brother just got done with mine — Guest 2006-09-05 03:43

i got 1.50 now...yay..lol well anyways if ur red screen comes up and goes away and then comes back on try again it takes several times but so fat theres only a 1% chance of brickage so this is the safest downgrader

# correction to my post — Guest 2006-09-05 12:08

but so far*

# bricked psp after wifi scanning? — Guest 2006-09-12 14:51

# worked on 2 PSPS! — Guest 2006-09-23 08:49

its sweet just downgraded 2 psps to 1.50....

one was 2.71 the other 2.60...i used Downgrader2.71FULL.exe...cuz i dont trust myself : P

this is a sweet downgrader that does everything by itself!

where is a walkthrough (tutorial) : P

(2.50/2.60 PSP)

1) if you want to downgrade a 2.50/2.60 without GTA upgrade it to 2.71 first (it realy works!)

2) BE SURE YOU HAVE THE 2.71 BEFORE CONTINUING!!!!! !!

3) execute the Downgrader2.71FULL.exe

(http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/1157470035/1)

4) fallow the steps

5) homebrew time

(2.71 PSP)

go to step 2)

Good Luck

# EVERYBODY SHUT UP AND LISTEN!!! — Guest 2006-09-25 02:20

1) SUCCESSFUL 2.80 DOWNGRADES.

When you are about to downgrade your 2.80 PSP,

Video it so that you can prove it to people!

Also give as much information about your PSP (Before + After) as you can, so that other people with the same PSP can be more comfortable in choosing whether or not to downgrade!

2) UNSUCCESSFUL 2.80 DOWNGRADES.

Serves you right, the freaking title says 2.71 Downdater!

3) SUCCESSFUL
