USBHostFS and PSP Type B problems? Get a fix.

Not your PSP. Taken from http://www.pacificpavingstone.com/images/PaverSpacers.jpg

Did your giant ninja robot just conk out again? How can you properly rule the world without a giant ninja robot to lay the smackdown on those invading aliens, right? Well, if your robot uses TA-082, kind of like your PSP, then you probably have some corrupted keys down there in the inner depths of your machine. That's probably a side-effect of the downgrader you used, and like we said, there was always a chance to brick that PSP to begin with.

Thankfully, the guys at lan.st are on the case and have got something up to help you save your machines. They've come out with a fix for USBHostFS, which should restore your corrupted idstorage keys and get you up and running again. Now, since your keys are already corrupted, you don't really have to worry about bricking your PSP anymore.

Still, you'll want to check the readme to ensure that you do the fix correctly. If you want to get your ninja robot (and your PSP) up and running again, you'll definitely want to check the fix out. For now though, we'll opt not to host the file, so you'll have to visit lan.st to pick the fix up. As for questions, you can always ask at the forum link on QJ if you're feeling a bit jittery about applying a fix.

Oh, and for those of you who were wondering, don't worry. A revised version of the downgrader will be here soon enough. Just don't hassle the coders for it, as that probably would slow them down.

Now, can anyone tell me who would win in a fight? A giant ninja robot using a TA-082, or a giant pirate robot using TA-082?

Thanks to AsopTiFF for telling us about this.

FIRST POST!

# gay boy up there^ — Guest 2007-01-13 12:33

pirate of course

# uhh — Guest 2007-01-13 12:35

so is this for all those ppl who bricked their ta082 psp's in the process of downgrading to 1.5??

# Ninja — whitelightnig 2007-01-13 12:45

A ninja would win, no doubt! it would slice through the pirate's 3.03 FW using its 1.50 ninja sword

# i would definately kick pirate a**! — Guest 2007-01-13 12:57

robo-pirate has no chance now tht i hav this key fixer! [evil laugh goes here]

# what exactly is this for? — Guest 2007-01-13 13:01

if u have already downgraded ur psp ta082 successfully is this file necessary to use?

# dsda — Guest 2007-01-13 13:04

This update wasn't funny *****

# :( — spyofchaos 2007-01-13 13:08

Guys, this means that even if you successfuly downgraded your TA-082 (1.50 or 3.0X OE whatever), our keys for usbhosts have been damaged so we can't use that yet. They are gonna make a fix to restore the corrupt keys enabling the TA-082 users to use USBhostfs and maybe nethostfs (probably). :)

# wtf is this for? — Guest 2007-01-13 13:27

wtf is this for since the article didn't even explain anything.Qj's journalism sucks.

# let me get this straight... — Guest 2007-01-13 13:29

so, this is a fix so we can play games, isos (maybe movies) through a USB cable, and possibly through a wifi connection...right?, sorry im just lost on this, cuz the fcktard that wrote the article decided to go on and on about stupid pirates and robots instead of actual meaningful information

# kik — Guest 2007-01-13 13:42

LMAO!

Victor B. is an idiot. Why the ***** is he talking about pirates and ninjas? PSP Updates is getting worse and worse.

# f — PSPZorZ 2007-01-13 14:08

The Ninja robot would win, if he installs this fix... he would use the USBHost to access the pirates flash memory and will brick the pirate... better hope a TA-082 modchip comes out soon, pirate! Muahahah!

btw: If a TA-082 upgrades to 3.03 OE, shouldn't the idstorage be non-corrupted?

# thank you — Guest 2007-01-13 14:10

i thought thats what it was till he started taking about crap.

Information comes first here, not your dumb nerdy since of humer.

please stop running out into the living room where your fat momma resides and asking her if that dumb crap is entertaining, look at me i cant spell worth a S but i bet i could do a way better job at reporting news.

heres a format:

1 name of the app

2 what it does

3 what firmware ect... it's for

4 other USEFULL information.

Then you can make your stupid funny afterwards...

PS sorry for the rant its been a long cold day :)

# So... — Guest 2007-01-13 14:37

Is this an urgent update for every TA-082 that has ever downgraded? I'm on the latest OE and I have noticed NO problems whatsoever. Never looked into usb hacks, or anything mentioned in the article, but is this going to become a problem for us later on?

# victor b sucks, really — Guest 2007-01-13 15:00

OK, the article just confuses people really, it has a picture of a brick, and says brick all throughout the article when a bricked psp or fixing a bricked psp has nothing to do with the program.

I went to the site and read around, and to me it says when the TA-082 downgrader downgrades, it changes the IDstorages areas that affect the USBhostfs and GPS capabilities of the psp. Now, us newly downgraded TA-082 psp's can't use USBhostfs or GPS because these areas of the IDstorage is "corrupted" basically, it won't work.

So in the end, if you want to use the USBhostfs (irshell, dehook iso/movie streaming from pc to psp through USB), or the GPS function of the psp, then you should get this fix. If you don't really care about either of those like me, then theres really no need to go through the hassle of fixing it (obtaining the correct IDstorage files from a 1.5 psp, and running the program).

# Robots n Pirates??? — SchmilK 2007-01-13 15:20

Its Saturday night...these guys update the news for you 24/7...maybe the author is drunk and laughing histarically at milk pirates and cant stop thinking about ninjas fighting them.....***CHEERS VictorB**

keep the monkeys away from your hands

# credits — Guest 2007-01-13 16:08

Thanks for crediting stapol

# uhh.................. — Guest 2007-01-13 16:38

ninja's and pirate's don't fight!

duh

# If a TA-082 upgrades to 3.03 OE, shouldn't the idstorage be non-corrupted? — Guest 2007-01-13 17:15

NO, THE CORRUPTION IS IN THE 3.03 OE'S IDSTORAGE IN RELATION TO THE TA-082 MOTHERBOARD. AFTER ALL 3.03 OE IS JUST A PATCHED 1.50 USING UPDATED FILES TO EMULATE A 3.03.

OH AND ON THE TOPIC OF PIRATES. PIRATING IS LIKE CRACK, IF YOU ARE ATTACKING THE USERS AND THE SELLERS FOR DOING WHAT SOCIATY ALLOWS US TO DO THEN WHO'S THE FOOL: THE PERSON WHO ATTACKS THE USERS OR THE PERSON WHO RECOGNIZES THAT THE 1% WHO PROFITS AND MAKES THE RULES AND PROVIDES THE TOYS SHOULD BE ATTACKED? QJ NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE U CANT PROMOTE THE TOYS AND ACCUSE THE USER.... ITS BAD FOR BUSINESS!

# 2.60 — Guest 2007-01-13 17:56

So, my son's ninja robot came with a ta-082 motherboard AND FW 2.60. I heard 2.60 couldn't be downgraded no matter what. Is that true? Can I download a ta-082 w/fw 2.60? If so, is it more susceptible to this problem? My son's ambitions to take over the planet is on a tight time table.

Any way, thanks to whom ever can clear this up for me.

# passerbye — Guest 2007-01-13 19:33

The "read' was too confusing, try to reffer the psp to somthing more relative , not complaining jst trying to give a small tip for improve

# Downgrader — Guest 2007-01-13 20:11

I would recommend upgrading to 2.71 and using Dark_AleX's 2.71 TA-082 Downgrader.

# is this for any usb problems after downgrade? — Guest 2007-01-13 22:14

I'm having problems connecting to PS3 via USB with my PSP. Is this a possible fix?

# Yup — Guest 2007-01-13 23:03

Yes, this fix is suppose to fix this problem, but I'm not 100% sure since there doesn't seem to be much info. I checked the forums and didn't get much from it... I think it would be best if you just wait for a tutorial for this fix.

# mimi — Guest 2007-01-14 06:06

only try to prov any one can post ***** and tell lies about any thing...... about me: i have a ta82 brick, color black, it's nice in a grey wall... :) more: i'm an inf eng, i unbrick... it's a lie? you don't know....

# 4 irshell — Guest 2007-01-14 10:50

I think this is a fix for those whos having probs using the usbhostfs thru IRshell.

It sorts out the keys you're using to controll the usbhost in IRshell.

Still waiting for a vsh usbhost tho.

Hopes it comes soon, cause I dont like IRshell-.

# Where can I find the 043.bin? — Guest 2007-01-14 12:45
