Two-hit combo: New PSP FW 3.50 downgrader and HEN

Posted Jul 4, 2007 at 6:00AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Homebrew Applications, Homebrew Development Tags: 0okm, downgrader, Fanjita, Noobz, psp homebrews
Ó

Two new PSP FW 3.50 downgraders released - Image 1And the homebrew greats have done it again: Noobz team released an updated PSP FW 3.50 downgrader using the Japanese version of the video game Lumines while 0okm in conjunction with HellDrive came up with his own Homebrew Enabler.

While the Noobz team has promised before to come up with this one, we didn't know that 0okm was working on it as well. Fanjita wrote that he looked into 0okm's work and found out that it's also working perfectly fine.

Anyway, the HEN and downgrader for Japanese Lumines from Noobz team works for both ULJS00005 (the original Lumines) and ULJS19005 ('The Best' version).

Furthermore, the new package comes with full support for the U.S., European, and Japanese versions so you shouldn't encounter problems if you missed our previous report. Both files come with their own Readme file so after deciding which one to use, please be sure to browse through its respective manuals and installation guidelines.

Thanks to Anonymous for the the tip!

Ookm's release is a 3.50 Hen that works with japanese lumines, not a downgrader.....



You may want to change the news! Ookm had nothing to do with the downgrader :P

0okm is great with this stuff....he was the first to release a 2.80 downgrader.



Great job, fanjita, 0okm and Helldrive!



One thing: Does this downgrader have the 2.81, ect. support you said? I mean do you still need to upgrade to 3.5 to downgrade still? Just curious, thats all.



Kudos to you all!

# do not downgrade!!!Guest 2007-07-04 09:46
If you have TA-082/086 I highly recommend you do not use the 3.50 downgrader until the future of custom firmware becomes clear. Dark Alex quit so probably no more OE custom firmware. You will NEVER be allowed to upgrade to official Sony fw if you need to and becus25's IE custom firmware does not work with TA-082/086. If you downgrade now you very well may regret it.

# are u sure?Guest 2007-07-04 10:08
not totally sure, but if you have custom fw and wanna go back to official fw cant u just start the update process from the recovery console? (as in place the sony update in the correct path then go to recovery mode and execute the update from there?)

not sure bout this, jus somethin i remember from DAX first custom fw's...

Reply
 

 
# re: dont downgradeGuest 2007-07-04 10:31
mike is right. if u downgrade on a ta-082 mobo u cant go back to official. the best u can do is probably get to 3.30 and then u stuck.



the reason why is because the dg patches one of the keys to downgrade. patching corrupts the key. key cleaner doesn't unpatch the corrupted key either.



if i were in you situation, i would wait for fanjita to make a eloader for 3.50.

# maybe??Guest 2007-07-04 10:38
I'm just going off of what the warning that was given when the 3.50 downgrader was first released. If you are at 3.30 or higher and downgade to 1.50 you will never be able to upgrade to official fw. You must upgrade to 3.50 to use this downgrader which would put you in this category. But if you renamed the latest official fw to update.pbp and ran it it thru recovery mode? All I can say is maybe. It certainly would be a risk.

# Ha-HaGuest 2007-07-04 10:38
You CAN'T Upgrade to 3.50 if you downgrade!



Sony has made a BLOCK - IT WILL BRICK!



BUT, there WILL be a future for the PSP, and there will be new CFWs.



The Scene has grown to a point it can't die by losing 1 of its warriors....



FIGHT ON!



F*CK YOU SONY!



BY the way, Sony got Dark Alex to leave because he tried to patch the Official ISO Loader... almost like a trap (though it isn't)...

# Ahh...Guest 2007-07-04 10:51
Ok, So i've known about this whole sony upgrade block for a while.

so i took a beautiful 1.5 chipped ta086 PSP upgraded to 350, then downgraded with the downgrader to 1.5 again



then i upgraded back to 350, no issues, but then again its a chipped PSP, so you never know

# Off topic but...Guest 2007-07-04 10:54
Has anyone else noticed that Dark Alex has left the scene? Is this true?



Check out his website... he has posted a goodbye message.



Crap. Thank you Dark Alex for your contributions to the PSP scene...

Please read this, you will be excited. When you click this link, http://000url.com/money you will go to a website that will show you how to sign up for another website that pays you 2 - 45$ (PER) to do surveys, sign up for trial offers, and test products.

Companies such as ebay pay CC to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, CC simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on cascrate,

I have made 472$ in April, 412$ in May, and 271$ (SO FAR) in June. You get paid in real checks from "***** MEDIA" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true,

but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day)

You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from CC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH

JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS.

Think it's a scam? Read this(from the website) "We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so.

Most of the time you're asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!"

There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.In addition there is a new UK section opened with more then $200 worth of free offers!

# There is a way to get back onto OFWGuest 2007-07-04 14:34
It actually worked with mine, I downgraded using the Lumines 3.50 downgrader for my TA-082, and my custom firmware wasn't working....so I used Chilly Willy's Keycleaner to fix the keys...



The key thing here though, is once you're on 1.5, you upgrade to 2.71, and get the corrupt free downgrader, that has the 1.5 enabler that Chilly Willy made....the 1.5 enabler patches the key that is changed so 1.5 is enabled (hence the name), but if you already have your key patched, you can actually unpatch the key, by pressing square on the screen when it says 1.5 is enabled or something like that....I followed Chilly Willy's advice, and my TA-082 is back on OFW (I still have CFW on my TA-079, just so I could keep a comparison)

# wtfGuest 2007-07-04 18:41
I will always apreciate the custom firmwares that Dark AleX created but I must say f*uck Dark AleX. He has left all us cfw users completely f*ucked. Because he created it he has a personal responsibility to continue it or to pass it on to someone who can.

Reply
 

 
# Calm downGuest 2007-07-04 19:12
FFS it's not really a problem. There's already another person who does custom firmware, though he's only just released 3.02 CFW.



Just have a little patience and see what happens at the time and don't blame me if you upgraded to OCFW again because of your lack of patience.

Reply
 

 
# HmmmGuest 2007-07-04 22:13
I dont blame mike for the way he feels, Dark_Alex did a great job and who knows maybe he will continue to release CFW under different names. However DA should atleast fix the key problem with one more release before he leaves.



Hes leaving all the people with an 82 with buggy ***** they cant upgrade he should atlease fix that then leave.



Thats like getting a hitch hiker through the all the cities and towns but dropping them off in the desert.



Anyways I would recomment he fixes the ***** up first then leave the scene with good karma, you dont want a bunch of PSP'ers with *****ed up ta82's cursing you 24/7.



Good job though



Peace

# Dear LastPersonGuest 2007-07-05 01:33
You are pathetic and outright stupid.

you say F to Sony yet you love PSP and the illegal things accompanied to it.

and Accept it DAX makes the best maker of custom firmwares, and IE custom doesnt even compare, hence DAX is a Big Loss. We may eventually end up back to using Devhook for our latest firmware emulation solution.

# UPDATE!!!read this!!!!!!!!!Guest 2007-07-05 09:37
First of all i dont know if somebody already told this in the above posts, i'm not going to read all of them, the thing is that i have a psp from day one of the released day and right now i upgrade to firmware to 3.50 from 2.71 and then i try the downgrader 350HEN using a Lumines ULUS 10002 GH, "GH" stands for Greatest Hits yep this games works, so moving on i downgrade to 1.50 firmware and there you have it, i have right now a 1.50 psp firmware, and then i take all my chances and try to update one more time 3.50 like you normally do and without any hitch i'm back to 3.50 psp, there you have it if you own a psp from those dates you can update and downgrade without any problem, right now i'm going to enjoy 3.50 because i have never been on this firmware may be later i will downgrade one more time. ENJOY!!!

# .Guest 2007-07-05 16:38
Yes that was mentioned in the original downgrader release notes.

I think you can already do it manually though.

There's an app that can be run under 2.71 that can change your keys back. You'd need to run it in 2.71 or higher, or you'd brick. So just change keys back in 2.71, then upgrade away.

I don't know all the details, but it's something I'd find out for sure before downgrading!
