2.80-3.02 DevHook Firmware Installer 0.5b

PSPWe have been inundated with a range of different Booster that allows PSP users to use fw1.5 and fw2.71 on a single PSP.">DevHook firmware installers over the past few days, notable of which were those from tommydanger (the guy that started it all off) and the recently-released one from Black_skull for firmware 3.02.

Today, tommydanger has released another DevHook Firmware Installer to make it easier for you to install DevHook versions onto your PSP - something that will while your time away until Booster releases another version of DevHook. DevHook Firmware Installer 0.5b now installs any firmware update ranging from 2.80 - 3.02 into the correct folders of DevHook.

An advantage for those of you with smaller memory sticks is that this version deletes the update after installation, something good for users of 32MB sticks. Also, if you had a problem with the X/O button configuration last time you used this application, then you'll be glad to hear that tommydanger has fixed this to comply with the US/EU X/O button layout. Here's how to use this application:
  • Place the desired firmware update on the root of your memory stick and make sure it's labelled "EBOOT.pbp"
  • Install the latest version of Devhook and this installer.
  • In the XMB menu choose "Devhook Firmware Installer"
  • Once prompted hit [X] to install the firmware files for DevHook
  • Wait till PSP reboots, start Devhook, choose desired firmware, and reboot. Done!
The source code has been included in the download, and remember you can find all of the Firmware Update EBOOTs in the PSP firmware update of our downloads site.

Good work good work!!



This does NOT write to flash right?



is there a way to dump on the PC instead to do it

on the PSP? i kinda want to drop and drag instead...

feels better >_

by skball123 - 2006-12-10 06:17
» write to flash

im pretty sure it does write a very smally file to flash as u need this to run these newer devhook firmwares. And yes there is a way to dump the files onto your computer instead of this app. Its called PsarDumper( now im pretty sure)

by dump - 2006-12-10 06:38
» dump

the dump needs to be done on the psp it's going to be installed on other wise it won't work and no you do not need to install any of it to flash



why are there so many of these installers are you all so that thick that you can't even do a very simple install of devhook by yourselfs?

by Pal - 2006-12-10 06:40
» Hmm

I like the Japanese layout as well, oh well. I still don't understand why the buttons needed to change in the first place...

does it work for the ta-082 users those with the newer motherboards.

» Early xmas present for psp owners.

i see the easy installers as an early christmas present for those who are purchasing two psp's for christmas:



2 psps for: homebrew.

2 psps for:1 for regular use, 1 for homebrew. * something that i wish i could do.



Merry christmas.

good work on this. it works good. i cannot wait for a devhook for 2.8. as it is possible since we have kernal access. i can wait though eloader is good for now. i have 3 psp's. one is 2.8, another is 2.71 and the last is 1.5. i just need one for my 2.8 for my girlfriend

» re

I downloaded firmware 2.71ce and it comes with a devhook but when I try running it it just sends me to the main menu and doesnt run the umd or iso for some reason. Anyway if I install this would it automatically isntall to the game150 folder or the 1.5 regular game folder for non ce users? And would I have to delete the previous version or what?

3.02 = says memory stick is full or can't create out file (despite the fact it's smaller than 3.01)

3.01 = gives corrupt settings bluescreen constantly.

2.81 = works fine



trying 3.0 now, but not holding my breath. looks like god is pissing on my parade today :C

by HJ - 2006-12-10 12:49
» @ Stewart

I had the same fault you did with 3.02 but then i looked again and found that i had the older version of Dev hook 0.51. You need version 0.51.100.00, or whatever it is. Click on the link in the description at the top of the page.



Hope that helps? ;)

» question

Do the firmwares u install stay on ur devhook, or do you have to re-install everytime?

by x313x - 2006-12-10 14:18
» HELP!!!!!!!

I'm running 2.71 SE-C. I have all the files installed already and put the 3.02 FW (EBOOT.PBP) into mp_root. I clicked on the "Devhook Firmware Installer" in my game menu and a blue screen came up. (it says to hit X here in the read me) but under Devhook Firmware Installer v0.5b, It says:



Found Update eboot

Update version is 3.02

Press [X] to install firmware



Is this what I'm suppost to do to get DH installed and running, or will doing this update my PSP to 3.02???

by helper - 2006-12-10 14:48
» no

NO it wont update your psp. its just telling you that that is the EBOOT that it found in the root.



BTW...Works great on every firmware 2.80 and up ( no so well on 2.71 but oh well)

by Helper - 2006-12-10 14:51
» Stay

nope they stay on Devhook unless you delete them

by skux - 2006-12-10 14:59
» hint when using 2.71se-c

you need to set the game folder to 1.50 kernel from the recovery menu. by default it is 2.71 kernel and the firmware installer will not work.

» DO NOT USE THIS INSTALLER! EITHER

This one didn't corrupt my stick, like the one released yesterday did, but it doesn't work none the less. Does the exact same thing and says



Extracting PSAR......!

Done!

Failed to create report file

Stick may be full or can't create OUT folder.



Followed by a lockup.

I thought this was supposed to be easy installer, guess I'm just gonna have to do it the old fashioned way.

by GODzillaSDM - 2006-12-10 16:07
» awesome installer. works great!

I love these installers on the psp! It is awesome! Very easy, and no need for any tutorial. Just place them in ur psp, launch, and then you are good to go.



I prefer this over installing any apps on my pc as well.



Thank you all who have worked hard on the devhook, and devhook installer!

» THIS WORKED GREAT FOR ME!

OK, I have an original 1.5 PSP (bought it first day it came out). I was using an older devhook. I deleted the old "dh" folder in the root of the memory stick and the old devhook in the game folder first. I dont know if that makes a difference or not but I wanted to start fresh. I followed the directions exactly as the article describes using the 3.01 US update. Dont forget to rename the update EBOOT.PBP when you put it in the root of your memory stick. THIS WORKED GREAT FOR ME!!! I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS. The first game I tried was Thrillville which requires 2.81 firmware if I remember correctly. I could not get this game to work previously with my older version of devhook so when it booted up with no problem after the install I was very very happy to say the least. One thing I would like to see changed in a future version is the problem of being able to launch using 333mhz. I left it on default after I realized this problem still has not been fixed. Remember for those of you who do not know it can be changed to 333 before you launch the game by hitting the home button and going up to CPU clock and changing it. Again I can not sing enough praises about how easy this install was. Thank You guys so much for the great programs.

» Nope

This is for PSP running fw 1.50. If you are running 2.71 you can use HEN-D from Dark Alex.You can run a port he made of Devhook.(also available from his website). Both should be available for download from here also, just search for "hen d" and devhook

» @Astro dude 2 or 3 posts back....

This is supposed to be a 3.02 upgrader, if YOU would read the above. A 3.01 unstaller has already come and gone...which you will need if you want to update to 3.02.

Thats only way you gonna get 3.02 working, not with this lie/PoS of a program.

Did anyone have trouble connecting to the internet using devhook 0.5b? I cannot connect at all. It say internal error or something.



Also after devhook loaded FW3.01, in the devhook setting menu: i see that FIRMWARE "not supported" and REMOTE PORT "not supported" is this what it is suppose to be? I am not sure if i installed devhook 0.5b correctly. Need someone to verify.
