0okm: "Blue PSP (PSP1000MB) with FW 3.01 is HardDown-able"

Recently, 0okm's been showing up (and down) across our PSP blog like white on rice. He's everywhere - as pretty much the rest of the PSP homebrew gods are. One of the more recent updates to his site reveals some interesting details on the new blue PSP (PSP-1000 MB), which was released last December 21.

For some of you guys who might have received this specimen of PSP for Christmas, you might be glad to hear a couple of things. Here's 0okm's notes on the hardware:

PCB Ver. : TA-086
CPU Core : CXD2967GG
Media Engine : CXD5026-203GG
MCP : K5E5658ACM-D060 1.8V/1.8V

Test report :
Factory FW3.01 (BoxCode M)
can HardDown to FW1.50 :)

The core of the matter here are his test reports, and they're pretty much self-explanatory. The new PSP already comes with a homebrew-biting firmware 3.01, but the thumbs-upper here is that he says that he can downgrade the system firmware to enable homebrew at 1.50.

So, as things stand now, it's not just a white Christmas, but a blue one too!

This story sucks? This story rocks!

well this is good news as i have a 3.00 firmware psp and a 2.81 firmware psp so i can have one on offical psp firmware and one on the new 3.02 e0

all when this new downlgarder is released, if it can downgrade all non ta psp as we might beable to upgrade to 3.01 and the dowgrade to 1.50 then to 3.02oe, so i grabbed my 3.01 eboots allready

# hmmm — Guest 2006-12-26 11:22

no downgrade .... thats not a softdown

its harddown ... not anyone can make it with out knowledge

# Read. — Guest 2006-12-26 11:47

This post isn't about the Blue PSP. This is about how the Blue PSP can be downgraded. It helps to read sometimes.

# Cant belive the ignorance — Guest 2006-12-26 12:14

*slaps 3/4 of people out there"

people read HardDown and think OOO LOOK Downgrade@!!!! Read what everything is first

# TA-086 — Guest 2006-12-26 12:27

Unfortunately not everyone has access to expensive SMT tools. I'd be doing this too if I did. Its been well known by 0okm ages ago that TA-086 ran just fine flashed down to 1.5, so this is old news.

# psp — Guest 2006-12-26 12:46

I have a psp with the official 3.00 firmware...does this mean I can downgrade to a 1.5 or something if this one is 3.01 and can downgrade?

# HE CANT — Guest 2006-12-26 14:10

he HARDDOWNs meaning he MODIFYS THE HARDWARE NOT THE SOFTWARE

# THATS WHAT I MEAN — Guest 2006-12-26 17:22

^ LOOK!

# Harddown — Guest 2006-12-26 17:53

It's never required to remove the nand anymore.

The points are available on the motherboard where the UP connects to.

Still not the sort of theing the average Joe would like to do.

# 0okm sux ass — Guest 2006-12-26 18:12

he's a *****n loser liein *****head

# whatever — akuma2099 2006-12-26 18:57

well this is useful to who ? Just 0okm no one else has the tools to harddown a psp, pretty good find I guess but useless to like 99% of the psp community. Maybe he will offer a downgrade service, but then his e-mail will get hacked and he will stop.

# Share to the others?? — Lucky_Bastard 2006-12-26 21:13

TA-082 don't have any DG. and now TA-086? WTF?? Just

what Ookm said it's not for the public? tsk..

# ta-080 downgrader — Guest 2006-12-26 21:29

so is there a ta-080 downgrader or do i need mod chip

# me — Guest 2006-12-26 22:08

ookm's mother is hard-downable, but his psp tools are non existent!

# na — Guest 2006-12-26 22:58

Anyone with good soldering skills, $1000, and a chip programmer and very talented skills can downgrade.

# this news is misleading most people — xche78x 2006-12-27 01:45

this news is misleading most people!

specially the homebrew-ridden ones!

downgraders released to the public are SOFTDOWNS

or Software Downgrade.

NOT Hard-downgraders, which to give all of you an idea is to manually take apart a piece of hardware (ex.PSP) and modify its internal wares, such as replacing a FLASH1 chip with a mod-chip. in ookm's case, PERHAPS he is wiring the NAND chip to a "special computer equipment" that rewrites the BIOS of the PSP and creates a 1.5 firmware revision in it. or he replaced the flash chip with the same chip that has 1.5

so all you 2.81 or higher people can only wait for a proper SOFTDOWN downgrader for your psp's. except if your a very close friend of ookm! ^_^

# this is great — Guest 2006-12-27 02:56

i know what a harddown and softdown are, this is a harddown, but an amazingly simple one, i could do this myself with a cut off usb cable i believe, (if those points are what i think they are)

i believe the points he shows in the picture are the points you need to access the internal memory... something most psp's dont have

# I AM NOT BITING — Guest 2006-12-27 03:24

Yoshihiro and SXT pulled this same BS last summer and got free *****... I am not saying that 0okm is trying to pull the same thing, but lets see some real proof

# I have an electronics background — Guest 2006-12-27 09:24

If there is a way to re-flash the on board nand or flash rom by soldiering on some wires in. It would be nice for ookm to release a schmatic and and a tutoiral on how he did it. I'm shue some enthusistes out there woiuld not be to worried about the possible bricking of such a hack

# ookm does shlt — Guest 2006-12-27 10:03

release something already before u get pwned by DA even more

# wow — Mr Toasty 2006-12-27 10:19

does your mommy know you swear on the internet?

# What he said ^ — Guest 2006-12-27 14:09

This post isn't about the Blue PSP. This is about how the Blue PSP can be downgraded. It helps to read sometimes.

# Get off yer high horse "only Ookm" — Guest 2006-12-27 14:11

Stop trying to sound like you know alot by posting things like that, you wouldnt need all of that anyway

# Firstly — Guest 2006-12-27 14:14

Its only the new blue psps, its a HARDDOWN meaning you cant do it unless you are good with technical stuff (I dont know what Im talking about)

It is already "released" You just need a blue psp and good skills with soldering and watnot

# MORON ^^^ — Guest 2006-12-27 14:17

Who are you???? at least if you are unregistered keep a consistant name so we know who you are and what the f*** you are talking about. (I know you are probably "Dom")

# ?????? — Guest 2006-12-27 14:19

Tonnes of people would easily be able to do it. Just because you cant doesnt mean everyone else cant does it??????? Theyre not posting here cause they are harddowning right now

# new psp — Guest 2006-12-27 20:08

i cant find this in stores any were

# f — Guest 2006-12-28 07:53

@Paka

Actually, he's correct. Harddown means it has to be hardware modified, like a modchip. Too bad QJ has perpetuated the retarded idea that harddown means LOL ANYONE CAN DOWNGRADE!

# hmmmmm — Guest 2006-12-28 18:13

can you hard down or change 3.0 to any lower???

# Q — Guest 2007-01-02 20:40

When you buy the psp? How can you tell it's harddown-ed? So what is the mobo if it's harddown-ed. Chip changed, what software to use for softdown.

Ex.

Got a blue PSP with IC1003. Running on 2.71.
