lol. This is the exact method i posted to do. Create built off the Wab version Changer. set to 1.0 firmware then run the update to 1.5. so it tricks the psp to thinking its upgrading.

Yes.

It works.

I miss 2.0, though. :(

Hope they can find the encryption-code, so we can start using HomeBrew on it.

2005-09-27 17:08:48

don’t mock me.. heh - I’ve got a white PSP (and held-out months for this baby) - I’m guessing this little hack won’t differentiate. It works on 2.0 (Japanese White PSP) as it’d work on a Black one? Should be fine?

And 6: you’ve got to click “Save Target As” it may download as text… just rename it.

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS

Wab was release code for 1.5 and 1.0 to change your firmware to either 1.0, 1.5, 1.52 or 2.0

Since there is now a new exploit for the 2.0, someone had manage to put my thoery to the test. They recompiled the code to work for 2.0

Now when running the app it sets the firmware name to be 1.0, Now! when you run the 1.5 update, The psp thinks its a 1.0 so installs the 1.5 firmware over it.

Comment by G.Wicks
2005-09-27 17:24:26

holy crap. it worked. I didn’t think it was doing anything, but then I checked the version and it says “1.00″ and I gasped loudly.

I entered the “VSHELL PHOTO” whatever command in the internet address bar. I’m assuming that’s where it was supposed to be done. If I’m right and not just an idiot, then THE URL IS WHERE YOU TYPE THE VSHELL COMMAND. I think. perhaps that’s where people are getting confused.

Thats pretty cool for the 2.0 users, but i already had 1.5. Anyway, Sony will soon release a newer firmware, a bunch of unsuspecting fools will download it then everyone will be pissed cuz they have a newer version and can’t use homebrew. The same thing is going to go on with the newer version that happened with 2.0. Until someone can crack the newer version. lol

I couldn’t find info in the forums pertaining to the installation of emulators on a 1.00 firmware. all the utilities and things seem to be for 1.5, so… how do I do it? If someone could put up with my newbie antics and help me out, it’d be greatly appreciated.

-turn on the psp and go on the immages, start it and w8 some seconds ”11 or 15” then turn off the psp and run the 1.5 version

Some people are so damn stupid in thinking they now have 1.00! You didn’t run the 1.50 updater yet, so you still run 2.00, that says it is 1.00, but you can’t run any homebrew yet?!!!!!!!!! So, run the 1.50 updater!

YOU LAMERS!! YOU SAID 2.0 IS BETTER, NOW THAT YOU HAVE 1.5 YOU FINALLY SEE WHY 1.5 IS BETTER. 1.0 IS EVEN BETTER, AND NO YOU CAN NOT DOWNGRADE TO 1.0, BECAUSE YOU REQUIRE A PSP 1.0 UPGRADER. THAT CAN ONLY BE POSIBLE IF YOU HAVE FIRMWARE 0.00 AND AN OFFICIAL 1.0 INSTALLER. WHICH DOES NOT EXIST!!

#113 download the downgrader then create an folder in your game folder called UPDATE. download the 1.5 update at this wesite http://shockzone.free.fr/PSP/Tool/EBOOT_1.50.zip and save it in the game folder then put the overflow.tif that comes with the downgrader in your photo folder and put the h. bin and index. dat files that come with downgared in the memory stick root folder both files should be in the same place as your psp folder no turn on your psp psp and go to the photo menu go to the over flow and t5he psp should turn black and freeze turn off your psp turn it back on and go to the game menu and install 1.5

Well, don’t know how #62 said the baby still got V2.0 features. My case is. It worked!!! No V2.0 features anymore. But I got a lot of help from my friend who read the news outside.

OK. First, the instruction said copying two files in Root. At that time I thought if I needed to put them in MP_ROOT, well it’s not true. Just put the files in the place where you can still see ‘PSP’ folder, etc.

Second. VShell Photo Folder is JUST THE PHOTO folder we knew in the console. Once you copy all the files in the memory stick, well, yes, turn the console on, click ‘PHOTO’ and you saw a black screen with some codes there. Don’t be afraid. Wait for 15 - 30 sec. Then, UNPLUG THE AC Adaptor and the battery to ‘turn the console off.’ Later, I put the battery back in the position, AC adaptor standing by, turn on the console, and it looked like it’s still in V2.0. Don’t hestitate to go to GAME –> Memory Stick -> and Download the version changer. Well, follow the instructions and get them all through, you will see there’s a message ‘ffffffff,’ which requires you to talk to the Sony Technical Support. Well please don’t bother to call them otherwise they know what we are doing and later on, the V2.x might have more attractive features and it’s getting much harder to downgrade it back!!! At this point, again, UNPLUG the AC adaptor and the battery. Put them back to the console, and turn on, well, it’s all what you need –> Lifes of Homebrew

Some say going back to 1.5, while some say going back to 1.0. Well, to help improve the quality of ‘downgrading’ firmwires, WHICH version you guys got when you guys bought the console at the first place? I bought the used one starting from 1.51(120V, B). Coz the instruction said this downgrader is made for the 1.5+ users, so I presume that some getting back to 1.0 MIGHT HAVE THE CONSOLE WITH OTHER VERSIONS LIKE (120V, A) or something else.

My case again,
YES, worked for MY US Version (120V, B)[I upgraded to V2.0 for a while and decide to downgraded it]

Worked for my US Version (120V B)

Let me make another post which looks clearer for you guys:: Combine #135 + #175.

HOW TO DOWNGRADE!?!?!?!

Step 1.

Upgrade to psp 2.0

Step 2.
Run the MPH program.
You will see a black screen with some fonts.

Step3.
Hold down the power button. until it turns off.

Step 4.
Now you will see the firmware is 1.0. THIS DOESNT MEAN YOU HAVE FIRMWARE 1.0 STUPID NOOBS.

All This does is change the firmware name. So You can update it to 1.50

Step 5.
Run the psp 1.50 update install located in your games directory. If you have not placed it in already.

Run it. and install it.

You will notice an error at 99% it always has this error no matter what version your updating to. YOU PSP IS NOT BRICKED!!! It’s just frozen. so Hold the power button. wait for it to restart. it will boot up, and now you have a Psp 1.50.

Step 6.
Go download a psp 1.5 game, place it in your folder. under psp/games/name.

there should be 2 folders called

name, and name%, place both files in.

Step 7.
Run the Games

Step 8.
Enjoy =P

Worked fucking well with my EU-PSP!!!!!! You just have to put all the files on your psp as described and then go to the psp-photo-menu and press “x”. Photo-Menu is the PSP-Menu-Icon on which you normally can view your photos. (I guess your photo-directory on your memory stick hast to be empty except the overflow.tif) Thats all!!! Big shout to MPH!

IF YOU WANT TO PLAY GAMES REQUIRE 2.0 TO PLAY. YOU DO NOT NEED TO UPDATE!!

JUST RUN PSPSET08 OR WAB VERSION CHANGER. SET TO 2.0 AND IT WILL THINK IT IS A 2.0 AND WILL RUN FINE.

THIS TECHNIQUE WAS THE ORGINAL FOUNDER OF THE 2.0 DOWNGRADE.

2. Obtain the PSP 1.5 Eboot File from: http://shockzone.free.fr/PSP/Tool/EBOOT_1.50.zip

3. Place your PSP into USB mode, and enter the GAME folder, if it does not already exist, create a folder called UPDATE, and extract the EBOOT_1.50.zip into this folder.

4. Stay in USB mode, and Extract the following files from MPHDowngrader.zip into:

————————-

overflow.tif

Location: \PSP\PHOTO

————————–

h.bin & Index.dat

Location: \ (root directory).

This is the directory you see when you first the the folders on your PSP after you place it into USB mode.

—————————

5. Exit USB mode, and navigate to the Photo menu. There, open the overflow.tif. The PSP’s screen will turn black, and will freeze. Turn off your PSP by holding down the power button for around 10 seconds.

6. Connect the AC adaptor to the PSP.

7. Turn your PSP on, and navigate to the PSP’s game menu and Launch the 1.5 Update. Follow the prompts.The update may fail towards the end - if it does, hold down the power button about for around 10 seconds, and turn the PSP back on.

8. Check your PSP’s version. It should now be 1.5. Enjoy.

Stupid Noob. you did not downgrade to 1.0. you just CHANGED YOUR FIRMAWARE NAME TO 1.0 Try running an Eboot file. see what happen you F*** noob. srry for being so harsh, but no one seems to listen.

Why didnt it work? did you make sure its a 1.5 game

1.0 runs straigh Eboot files.

1.5 Runs 2 eboot files.

example

Game1 and Game1%

******************************************************It works(downgrader), Follow the instructions, and then for those who have never had homebrew you need to use the kxploit otherwise you won’t be able to run homebrew. I did it, and its working for me so w0ot baconXD

Try charging your battery for a while. I had that same problem when upgrading to 2.00. Would get the same error message even with the adapter plugged in. Didn’t work until after I had fully charged my battery.

FOR PEOPLE GETTING THE POWER ERROR!!!
i had the same problem but i have a 1.5 and 2.0 here….. the 2.0 was at low battery even though it was plugged in…. i switched batteries with the 1.5 with 63% power in the battery and it worked…. the power in the battery matters!!!

#242 YES, it does upgrade again to 2.00 but why would you want to do that? just use pspset and trick it into thinking its 2.00 and use fastloader with the tiny web browser from wipeout pure. i think it’s down to 24 megs or something for the browser. you don’t need 2.0 at all!

This rocks! It worked perfectly. Anyone with a quarter of a brain should be able to make it work easily. It worked on the first try, NO BRICK, changed US PSP w/ japanese v2.0 to fully functional v1.5. MPH rocks! I feel bad for anyone that bricked their psp, but it is not the downgraders fault!!! I am not only able to downgrade to v1.5, upgrading back to US v2.0 worked like a charm too. The absolute best of both versions is just an upgrade or downgrade away. 5 stars for a kickass job!

Just a quick note - make sure the left hand switch (the one that switchs between the wireless and memorycard setting) is switched to the mem card (push down)

otherwise the update doesn’t work correcty.

Tried this on a Australian psp - works a treat!

any browser that works on 1.0 WILL work on 1.5 but only after using kxploit on the eboot.pbp the only one that i’ve tried though is the wipeout pure browser.

#263 yes, once the dgrade is complete you can do anything you wish to the files on your memory stick. i’d recommend clearing out all the files from the downgrade. those are not needed after it’s successful

Followed instructions from post no. 232, and it worked just great. Have European PSP. Notes:

I got the “contact Sony” error at the end of upgrading. Just turned off, and on again. Not a problem.

Then I got a message, that my old settings file was corrupted, and to press the O button to restore default settings (very nice!).

After that, I had to choose language, time-zone etc. as if it was a brand new 1.50 machine. And then it worked. Tried homebrew - works just fine.

I guess you should NOT TAKE THE BATTERY OUT during this process, and ALWAYS HAVE THE POWER SUPPLY PLUGGED IN during this process.

That’s my advice to people.

IT WORKS! DONT LISTEN TO ANYTHING ELSE! IT WORKS!!!!

ps - to those who have no idea what the fuck their doing. follow the .txt that comes w/ the downgrader.
when it comes across any error messages, like “contact sony” or “99% update failed motherfucker”, just IGNORE it and restart ur PSP or take out the battery or w/e.

….IT WORKS >_

TO THE MODS:

Please just lock this so you can’t post. The idiot its working/not working posts are confusing people. If they can’t read instructions correctly or look up information before they get involved with a program, then they deserve their PSP’s to get bricked.

i tried it… i put the overflow.tif in my photos folder, but when I went to my photos, just highlited the “Photo” icon and pressed X… it froze right there and then turned black… the index.dat and h.bin are in the PSP’s root directory… not MP_ROOT, but just \ … you know… the ROOT DIRECTORY… after it froze… it went black, but then it just restarted on its own… ok ok hold up hold up…. i just tried it again while i was typing this and I got it to go to 1.0, but now it says the upgrade I have is just corrupted data…. so here I go… looking for another 1.5 upgrade to DL….

yeah… i can’t get it to work… every one i unzip it says Corrupted Data… anyone else get this? i got it to go to 1.0, but can’t upgrade to 1.5…. I’m not a n00b… so don’t be a bitch… just answer the question

I asked this on another site, but I haven’t gotten an answer yet.
Wouldn’t it suck if Sony seized on the opportunity, now that lots of people are trying out 2.0 for the first time, or dabbing in 1.5 and then going back to 2.0, to quietly release an altered update that would patch up the security hole.
Here we are, thinking that we can switch back by doing the network update and then, whoops, can’t pull off the downgrade anymore.
Is there a way of upgrading safely? In other words, can we download the 2.0 upgrade file and keep it on our desktop whenever we want to upgrade back to 2.0 safely?

The root of the memory stick is for most people e:\ . When you view the contents of the memory stick it will say PSP, MP_Root, ETC. You don’t drag any of the files to any of the above folders but rather the folder that those folders exist in.

Another confirmation. And anyone who’s worried about it being a ‘virus’ like 292 said, dont worry. his batteries prolly ran out or he did something wrong. it would be nearly impossible to make a virus like that. it would mean decrypting the 1.50 eboot.pbp, which is impossible, then inserting code somewhere.

but, it works, and if you’re having trouble with HB, just read about it and use kxpoloit.

Just wondering if it was okay to delete these files off the memory card after the downgrade? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

In the root folder:
camarche - DAT File
index - DAT File
100 - bin file
h - bin file
index.dat.bak - BAK file

In the photo folder:
overflow TIF

In the Game folder
EBOOT.PHP (1.50)

Thanks!

For those of you having trouble w/ the second part of the downgrade…. 1.0 to 1.5 if your seeing a corrupt icon when your trying to upgrade i think its because the folder UPDATE in psp/game folder Must be in all CAPS.

If Sony wants ppl ot stop hacking, then how about making it so that you can watch any video file type, that way you can just download it to your video directory and watch it.

I have 1.0 JP and 1.50 US. I upgraded my 1.50 US to 2.00 US. Then I followed the instructions. After overflow.tif was executed, some print appeared on the screen. Take out battery, restart the PSP. Going to system version it shows 1.00. Then I plugged in the AC adaptor, ran the 1.50 update. It gets to 99% and freezes. Restart the PSP again, upon reboot it gives an error, System Settings Corrupt, Pres O to fix. Did that, then it fixes the settings, gotta re-enter all settings again(even Net Settings). Now its a 1.50 again and can run homebrew.

It works like a charm. No problems here. Dont know if it works on 1.0 and I will not try it either. Simply because 1.0 runs homebrew better than 1.50(none of that kxploit shit… and can run BARE ELFS, right out of the box).

I always had a 1.50 but my cousin bought a 1.52. He upgraded to 2.0. I downloaded the downgrader and successfully downgraded his to 1.5. I copied over all my emulators and Madden 06 and it worked flawlessly on his psp. Out of curiosity, I then upgraded back to 2.0. Worked fine, then downgraded once again, 100% both ways. This does truly work!

Just incase anyone was wondering, This does not downgrade to version 1.0. It just tricks your PSP into believing it has 1.0 software. Enableing you to upgrade to version 1.5. There is a slight risk of bricking your PSP, But I think it’s quite worth the risk.
