MY QJ: TA-082 2.71 Kernel Access Tutorial!

2.71 Kernel Access Tutorial!

Due to insistent demands from various people for a TA-082 2.71 Kernel Access tutorial, I decided I would go ahead and be the first one as I also posted the news about the exploit. Well, frankly this isn't hard at all and if you read the readme's then its super easy but for all of you who dont wanna waste their time reading through a very long text file, I thought I could smooth things out. Ok, so lets get to business.. things needed for the exploit are:

1. 2.71 Firmware Update, which you can download here.
2. Dark_AleX's HEN Revision B XMB Homebrew launcher, which you can get here.
3. 2.71 HEN compatible Devhook (posted below)

Ok, once you have everything downloaded on your PC, you need to update your PSP to firmware 2.71 if its not already updated.

1. Copy the UPDATE folder from the download below into your PSP/GAMES folder.

Now, start up the update on your PSP by navigating to the Memory card under right below where the UMD icon is with which you load up all your UMD's. NOTE: Before updating your PSP, be sure that the PSP battery is fully charged and that the AC Adapter is plugged in and so is the Memory card. After updating, you will want to load up HEN on your newly upgraded PSP and for that, read on:

- Copy all contents inside MS_ROOT to the root of your memory stick.
- Go to the PHOTO viewer of the XMB and enter in the folder "HEN".
- If the psp just froze, reboot your psp and try again. Currently the tiff is very unstable and it is only executed sometimes. I'll try to improve that in the future.
- The first time you run the program, you will see quickly a blue screen, and after that a screen
that can be of two colors:

* Red: the files couldn't be written to the flash (it happens a few times). Just keep trying.
* Green: The files were written successfully, after that, the xmb will be rebooted. Now you can run the homebrew in format prepared for 2.71. (see details below).

- As mentioned before, the patch will remain resident in memory, and even entering sleep mode won't delete it. Only a hardware reset will remove the program from memory.

- When you do a hardware reset, you'll have to run the tiff again. This time there won't be green or red screen, just a blue screen and xmb reboot, since this time there is no need to write to the flash.

Note: the files pspbtknf.txt, pspbtknf_game.txt, pspbtknf_updater, and systemctrl.prx in the root of the memory stick are only needed the first time the program is executed. After that you can delete those. However, don't delete patch.bin, h.bin and the folder with the tiff, since you will need those the next time you do a hard reset and want to run the program again.

Note2: Once the program is loaded, it is independant of the memory stick contents. So you can freely swap memory sticks.

Note3: To update from HEN revision A to B, hard reset your psp (to make sure that hen is not running). Then copy the new files to the memory stickand run the tif. The new files will be automatically updated.

After installing HEN Rev B, you will need to install Devhook to emulate firmware 1.50.

- You need Homebrew Enabler for 2.71 revision B (minimum) to run this port.
- Get the files to emulate firmwares yourself.
- Run the pbp with the title "Devhook 0.4X launcher for 2.71". The 1.50 launcher is also included because in the emulated 1.50 you can launch it.

Note: only 1.50 and 2.71 have been tested. When going from firmware 2.71 to 1.50, you will get the error "Couldn't start game". Don't worry, this is normal and it is done in purpose as a current temporal solution for reboot.bin parameters being different in both firmwares.

With all this done, just start up devhook from your 2.71 XMB and feel free to do anything you want with the emulated 1.50 firmware.

Note: Do not ask files for emulating 1.50 as i wont be able to help you with that. This article is not endorsed by Dark_AleX or Booster in any way and is posted as a tutorial to make things easier for people.

I can't believe this. I was moping around because I have a TA-082 and I'm starting to here all this crap about kernel things but never any talk about isos working. I'm interested in this, so I read up and think, "wow they have kernel working on 2.71!" So I upgrade my 2.60 to 2.71. Do the things they tell me to and ok great I have kernel. Now I get an idea, "omg do isos really work with this". I'm thinking like no way, if they were there would be a huge announcement, but I give it a try anyways. WOW is all I have to say. I now have a total of 10 games on my 4 gig stick that I got in late June. I appreciate all your hard work Dark_Alex and I will be sure to donate to you as soon as I find a link to your *real* site.

# Yes or No ? — Guest 2006-10-01 18:06

best to wait

# to #14 and #17 — Guest 2006-10-01 18:55

Yes, this really works. I'm using revision C on my TA-82 psp and can run 1.5 firmware perfectly! There is no reason to wait to use this, as it already works perfectly and you can upgrade to any further revisions without a problem. So if anyone is still using a TA-82 (2.50, 2.60, 2.70) psp, go ahead and upgrade! If a down grader comes out for TA-82s, I won't be using it, as there is no reason when you can load homebrew right from 2.71 ;)

# it works — Guest 2006-10-01 19:24

Ya it works i put this on my sister boyfriends psp and he hasn't stoped playing it.

# # 16 — Guest 2006-10-01 19:39

How did u do it? what did u use to emulate UMDs?

# k go do this — Guest 2006-10-01 20:39

I know you guys might not like external links but there is a guy at psp-hacks (zephyr something) who made a package of downloads that has everything you need. It gives you the HEN Revision C (which is much more stable) and DevHook (which in this case I use to launch Isos).

Easy as Pie just copy and paste EVERY folder that the package has in it (almost all of which go in the root of the mem stick)

# help. — Guest 2006-10-01 21:13

when i tried to run the tif file, it says unsupported data. why is it so? anyone?

# hang/freeze — Guest 2006-10-01 21:16

why does it freeze when i try to access HENC folder?

# not a TA-82 — Guest 2006-10-01 23:52

i have a 2.60 firmware and it is not a TA-82..

is it the same procedure to access the kernel mode in 2.71?... is 2.71 update firmware the same from europe & others?.. it bothers me..

please HELP me...

QJ Dark_AleX and others staff ROCKS!!!..

thank you for making all this things possible...

# ISO — Guest 2006-10-02 00:23

I'm playing ISO's now for a few days on my 2.71. Works great. The HEN B works 99% of the time. No use for HEN C. Only online play with ISO didn't work yet. I can get in the online section. But when the game starts it breaks the connection.

# to Niklas and #24, #25.. — Guest 2006-10-02 01:19

Hey Niklas, that's me haha.. and yeah ugay, since you don't have a TA-082, just upgrade to 2.71 to downgrade. If you need help finding a full downgrade pack, I can provide you a link (from my own server, so pls don't abuse).. and Dutch Dude, HEN C is way better, supports homebrew even more and improved stabability. And yeah, as for infrastructure play on the ISO/CSO, they don't really work, yet.

# okay got myself registered.. — Zephyrus 2006-10-02 01:25

Bah, I got myself registered anyway, haha.

# hang/freeze — Guest 2006-10-02 02:27

why does it freeze when i try to access HENC folder?

# well.. first go get my pack.. then.. — Zephyrus 2006-10-02 02:32

# Working, but need to reset hardware after every shutdown — Guest 2006-10-02 03:44

I am now able to play iso games from my memory stick, but every time I have shut down my psp I need to run through all the steps from, hardware reset, "activate" hen C, run "Devhook 0.4X launcher for 2.71" and then start up Devhook.

Is this procedure normal?

Isn't it possible to just start Devhook and emulate the 1.5 even if the PSP have been shut down instead of going through all these steps?

# Non-TA-082 — Oncegone 2006-10-02 03:46

Also if you are a nonTa-082 user and just dont want to downgrade your psp.(like Me) then this will work for you. it is accually easyer to run devhook on the 2.71 then it is on the 1.5.. I would suggest you download the Revision C since it is more stable then the Revision b. if you need to download this or the DEVHook for 2.71 you can get them on Dark_alex's website(recomme nded) http://www.dax.lan.st/ I would only download the Hacks from here on QJ or directly from DAX. Downloading a "pack" could have something in the files that could brick your psp. If you have any Questions just msn Me at hhcory@gmail.com. I Will help anyone who asks.

# why! — Guest 2006-10-02 03:57

why does it hang when access henc folder and even if i can get into it, it cant load tif file, saying unsupported data.

help anyone? please.

# to penol and damned — Zephyrus 2006-10-02 04:11

@penol: yeah, because it only makes a temporary patch to the 2.71 when you run HEN_C, therefore when you've shut down your PSP (a hardware reset), you'll just have to go through the steps again..

@damned: what firmware are you using?

@Oncegone: gosh.. my pack contains everything from the original files.. it's fine if you don't wana use it.. because i know some noobs who need helps and my pack is just something really noob-friendly to help. running a downgrader to 1.5 is so much better than doing 2.71 because 2.71 currently can't play any infrastructure games.. while 1.5 can. also, many have used my pack without problems. you'll be surprised at how much noobs that will add you as ask questions by placing your MSN here.. they just keep coming. and they will ask stupid questions until you can't take it,

# mm — Guest 2006-10-02 04:15

i'm using 2.71 >_>

# 2.71 upgrade — Guest 2006-10-02 04:27

are all firmware updates the same?...

i have a 2.60 firmware and i just want to upgrade it on 2.71 europe... it really bothers me..

but i dont wanna downgrade it to 1.50..

appreciates some help and suggestion..

thankz to "Oncegone" and "Zephyrus" for the rply..

# LOL — Guest 2006-10-02 05:00

lol wtf, i know whats the problem, when i read the README, it stats dump everything inside MS_ROOT so i did.

silly me, btw it works fine right now! 1st try and im saw green!

# 2.71 upgrade — Guest 2006-10-02 05:19

ders no such thing for firmware region... silly me..

sorry my bad..

# yeehaaaa — Guest 2006-10-02 05:25

# dev — Guest 2006-10-02 05:36

why do i get game read error when i try to run dev hook for 2.71?

# yay? — Guest 2006-10-02 06:27

i had my psp running 1.5 on my TA-082.

how to switch back to 2.71 the 'proper' way? off the psp?

cause i tried to off it and yeh it turn back to 2.71 but after that it cant run devhook for 2.71 or i cant even do that home+start thingy to switch back to 1.5.

# Answer to Question — Oncegone 2006-10-02 08:36

# Answer to Question — Oncegone 2006-10-02 08:40

@ 42

to get Back to 2.71 from the 1.5 you will need to load Devhook and select the 2.71 flash Firmware. this will take it back to 2.71.

Also this note. If you want to just run Iso's from your 2.71 you do not need the 1.5 firmware dumb. you can just load devhook and select the ISO you want to run and set the Firmware to 2.71 Flash. this will load the iso on the original firmware. so that if you want to change games or quit playing a iso all you have to do is open devhook and change the iso you have loaded. without having to emulate anyother firmware. hope this helps a few questions.

And @ Zephyrus i dont mind answering peoples problems I was a noob once and askied countless questions maiking sure i was being safe with my psp. now i have the knowledge to spread around and dont mind doing it. and if you think that im a noob the you need to check out www.pspandmore.net. you will find out who i am very quickly...

# i'm #42 — NumberNine 2006-10-02 09:12

okay, so now my 2.71 can work like 1.5, with devhook and all, without switching firmware to 1.5 right?

but at times my devhook wont load, why is it so? it gives me an error and when i had it, i redo the whole HEN-C thingy again, just to get it to work.

sorry, noob here. =|

# you're doing something wrong.. — Zephyrus 2006-10-02 09:48

you have to run the HENC again if you've restarted your PSP.. because the patch is not permanant.. it's temporary. so if you've turned off your PSP completely, the next time you turn it on, just go over to the photo section and henc folder to enable the patch again.. you'll get a game read error for the devhook on 2.71 if you don't run the patch. i thought i already said that clearly in my readme .. read it completely before you do anything.

# mm. — NumberNine 2006-10-02 10:05

does devhook restarts the psp if you exit it? cause if i execute devhook and EXIT the program, ive got to repatch it.

=\ i sound so long-winded, m3h. its my first time with any homebrew thingy for psp. so yeh.

# please answer me — Guest 2006-10-02 10:46

MY enlish is not so good, can someone please help me..

Can I play games from my mem-card now ?

I have 2.60 TA-082

Thank you.

# to #47 and #48.. — Zephyrus 2006-10-02 11:09

NumberNine, you don't have to repatch it cause when you exit, it's not a hard reset. ^^

OROROROROR.. upgrade to 2.71, then download my pack and read the readme, yes you can run games from your memstick now. (:

# how can i get 1.5 files...... what kind of file are..? — Guest 2006-10-02 12:36

are those 1.5 files, a dump file for a 1.5 psp or a eboot file(updates one)?

and, once i have them, where to put them, and how to load them?

# Anything for 2.80 or 2.81? — Guest 2006-10-02 13:16

I have a 2.80 so i guess theres no point on posting here x(.

Anything for 2.80?.

# 2.80 — Guest 2006-10-02 13:54

Yeah anything for 2.80???

# =) — NumberNine 2006-10-02 17:27

big thanks to Zephyrus and Oncegone for the help.

# how do you bypass the update thing — Guest 2006-10-02 17:58

hi, i was able to load the game etc... but im not able to play because it need fw 2.6 but i emulated to 1.5 i tried someone's step of going to dev and selecting dev and then fw 2.71 and iso but it doesn't seem to be working. Anyhelp would be appreciated. thanks in advance

# So this is a "downgrader" for TA-082 2.71 PSP's — Guest 2006-10-02 18:11

So this is the actual downgrader for TA-082 PSPs that run v.2.71 right?

It's a bit strange since it's one for 2.71 but not for 2.5/2.6 and the others.

So you are able to run devhook and do all the things you can do with a downgraded non-TA-082 PSP?

# to Richard.. — Zephyrus 2006-10-03 18:48

go get my pack and read the instructions.. you do not need to emulate 1.50 to play any ISO.. just select 2.71(flash) when you're in the 2.71 devhook.. ^^

and zero.. its not a downgrader, it's a 1.50 emulator as well as a ISO loader. if you want to run ISO/CSO just select the 2.71(flash) in your devhook for 2.71 menu, don't have to emulate 1.5 then back up. and once you emulate 1.5, yeah you can play all 1.5 homebrew in their original format.

# to Zephyrus — Guest 2006-10-04 04:04

i actually already dl your pack and did all the step but i do not know why wheneven i try to either load a game or 2.71 it just turns off.

# im unsure about your problems then.. — Zephyrus 2006-10-04 07:10

then i guess i'm sorry, i can't help you with that. the instructions in my package was meant to be clear-cut, but i won't know if you've did something wrong. take your time sorting this out. good luck! ^^

# thanks anyways — Guest 2006-10-04 14:39

yea... i dun know. but ill keep trying. when i select the iso it doesn't even ask me anything like with umd or no umd. thanks tho.

# dh — Guest 2006-10-04 14:55

hey i just wanted to make sure. there should only be readme files in the 2.71f folder in dh right.

# Do i need a umd in the drive? — Guest 2006-10-05 12:14

hi, i was reading elsewhere that you need an actual game in the umd drive to load a iso with this method.

# wondering — Guest 2006-10-05 13:34

Where do I actuall load the umd, Ihave the Iso folder with Lumines in it, and I started the devhook port, I selected lumines.iso and the it rebooted but I couldn't load the ISo, is there something wrong with the ISO?

# Here — Guest 2006-10-05 16:49

Here you actually have to have a umd inserted in the UMD slot to run the image.

I found that out myself.

It works for me now but i have a problem where once i exit out of the game and try to go back into devhook it says that

"the game could not be started (80020148)"

But once I do a hardware reset and "reflash" it i can go back into devhook and do it over again.

It's really stupid though since I always have to do a hardware reset...

# zero — Guest 2006-10-05 19:59

thanks, i will try once i get a umd game. just got psp so no games.

# to zephyrus — Guest 2006-10-07 08:47

ive downloaded the devhook from this site...now wat files do i need in order to emulate 1.5....is there any chance of bricking while emulating....tnx

# to Zephyrus — Guest 2006-10-13 13:55

It freezes once i try to acess the picture folder on the xmb

what exact files do i put in each folder

# to Zephyrus — Guest 2006-10-13 13:57

It freezes once i try to acess the picture folder on the xmb

what exact files do i put in each folder

# TA-082??????/ — Guest 2006-10-14 03:16

I have tried like its written but there is no result. when I load iso PSP just shut down itself.

I start HENC first, then when PSP reebot I start devhook and when I load iso there's no result. He just shut down.

What is the problem ???????????

# install 1.5 to this version of devhook? — Guest 2006-10-14 20:19

Question, how I install the 1.5 firmware so I can emulate it on my PSP that is currently running the 2.71 FW and a TA 082 board. I can't seem to find anything definitive on the net. I have a 1.5 FW eboot, not sure how I should use this with Devhook.

Thanks,
