Norton Anti Virus Labels MPH Downgrader as a Virus
Alias420 | October 8, 2005
Recently due to the first piece of malware popping up for the PSP Norton Anti Virus has updated to scan PSP files. This can cause some confusion about PSP programs that are fine like the MPH downgrader being reported as containing “Trojan.PSPBrick”. Much like PSafeP they look for suspicious code accessing functions that can be used to damage your PSP. Alot of legit homebrew may use these too. This may add a great deal of confusion to what is safe to run on your PSP. I would suggest only running files that come from a reputable source like psp-hacks.com instead of running files you find on P2P networks.

yesterday when i came home from school i found my psp was upgraded back to 2.0 thank god it was 2.0. so any way i went to download the mph downgrader and my norton kept deletin the tif file because supposebly it was a virus. i dint want to brick my psp so i didnt downgrade but this mornin i woke up and i said fuck it. i downgrade bak to 1.5 usin mph and it didnt brick my psp and now im enjoying homebrew again
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT BRICKED MY PSP DAMN DAMN DAMN!!! damn this sucks…
how can your psp upgrade it self back to fw 2.0
#3 it didn’t update itself my little sister updated it for me im sorry i wasn’t more clear
#2 u probably used the fake downgrader
#2 bull $hit
#2 either is here to spam and cause a mass arguement
or
he used wrong downgrader
I believe the first.
there is a tutorial on it which should help you guys, bricking is the one thing we try to prevent
tried it and worked, never had that damn norton installed but the downgrader works, Reset the PSP to it’s original state and works fine at 1.5.
I miss 2.0
#8 i missed 2.0 to so i updated. i couldn’t be any happier. just upgrade. the homebrew isn’t that great.
LMAO at #9….Homebrew is the best thing to happen to PSP…2.0 is useless
I agreee… homebrews are just getting better…while those stupid firmware updates add a thing or two (always disables homebrew).
the downgrader took me to 1.0
You aren’t 1.0, you’re 1.5. The downgrader tricks your PSP into thinking that it has firmware 1.0 installed in order to downgrade it to 1.5.
Fuck Norton Anti-Virus!
I hate that stupid fucking Mcafee because it does the dam “downgrader thing”
@16, stop tryin to start arguments.. dumbass noob
psp-hacks is one of the most reputable sites for.. well.. psp hacks! Keep up the work guys, i appreciate the homebrews!
Why does KXploit replace a system DLL in the system32 directory? At least it tried to on my XP box (I skipped the overwrite).
Alot seems to me that they should test there programs before the send them to there site before say that we should trust them ….
of course they should but as everybody knows, it worked on their psp, does not mean it will work on all, if someone screwed up some file in their psp, then tried to do whatever with the homebrew and brick your psp, thats your problem, youve been warned many many times, and yet i havent had any problems with the homebrew i got on psp-hacks.
yea
PPL Y ARE U LOT ALWAYS CUSSING PSPHACKS. PSPHACKS R A VERY GOOD SITE. THEY R ALWAYS PROVIDING US WITH COOL STUFF 4 OUR PSP`S. MAN ALL U LOT CAN GO AND DO URSELVES.
the overflow.tif is a virus which when put on ur psp messes around with ur systems.
i suggest deleting it once u av downgraded.
overflow.tif is a virus and messes around with the restarting part of your psp which can brick your psp…
be carefull when using MPH…
big pun and Ag is a virus and messes arounnd with the visitors here at Psp-Hacks which can piss a lot of people off…
be carefull when you see guys like them…
I think it is made by SONY Company.
I try to DL the MPH Downgrader from THIS Site and my Norton says PSPBrick blabla….what now?
Can i use it from this site?
I’ve had no problem taking a 1.52->2.0->1.5
Personally I love the PSP-PDA. I can honestly say if Sony would release some serious apps for the thing I would not care but I feel we are being left out in the water to drown. Sony just wants to sell UMD movies………
I THINK AG And Big pun are sayin the truth… my psp its acting weird. Like 2 weeks ago i couldnt turn the volume down… it repaired by itself… in 1 week anD now is The monitor it turns off and on lots of times :S i dont know whut to do :’(
if someone knows about this plZ HelP me :S
thX
#29- Prehaps, something infected your PSP, or maybe you erased one of the files, or prehaps, your PSP acted weird for a little bit, and now its ok, because thats what happened to me,at least the screen going off thing anyways.
F*** U guys if your anti virus says that it is a virus just disable ur god dam you anti virus it will work!!!!!!!!
#30 so?? what should i do know?? will it repair by itself??? Help plz :’( im scared…
Look this is my mail rafahztz@gmail.com
thX
Of corse norton is going to detect all this stuff as a virus now. For the longest time Symantic was saying nmap was a virus, netcat was a virus, and so forth. I use AVG-Antivirus and have had no problems like that. Its corporate bullshit, sony probably gave them some big amount of money to try and scare people. Heh, wouldn’t be supprised if they have something to do with the orgional virus as well. Because after all, its the american way!
I think some of you have a virus called the stupidity virus. Thats all I need to say.
my PSP has shown no problems after i downgraded…
Thats Bullcrap, my PSP is working fine and I used the MPH downgrader.
My Norton was saying the file overflow.tif was a virus too, after reading around a few forums I found noone that would say if it would still work even if Norton said, it was a virus. well here it is, I got my file from psphacks, I turned off my virus scaner and ran it on my psp like the read me said. AND IT WORKS. as long as u get the file from a good source dont worry about the virus warning. now u have some real info on this BS-virus. ur welcome everyone.
Theres nothing wrong with the downgrader, My psp has been acting a little strange as well, but i never downgraded(got my PSP when they where 1.50’s). Could be the Homebrew your using. Im going to try getting rid of a few Homebrews i dont use any more…
Thats very odd, I didn’t even need to use the Backround.png for the downgrader to work.
And yes, Just incase any of you are wondering. The Psp tricks itself into thinking it’s version 1.0 with the downgrade. When you turn it off and restart the system you can run the 1.5 upgrader. So basicly you do:
Version 2.0 > Version 1.5
~Dim Assassin
Norton did a scan friday and said it found that overflow.tif was the Trojan.PSPBrick which is BS because I used those exact overflow.tif files on my buddies PSP and took him from 1.51->2.0>1.5. This is just Sony’s way of trying to stop the scene.
I think SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT Inc. or SONY Inc. is paying NORTON for them to make a new Anti-Virus Update That will identify the MPH Downgrader as a virus or Trojan just to scare us and to make us not use the downgrader. That is what I think.
its the overflow.tif is the virus
it most likly not brick the psp.
and wont program into the psp but u never know
#39 i dont think sony will do that mcgrafee and my home made anti virus program didnt detect it, its listed as a psps brick, because HOMEBREWING IS ILLEGAL!!!!
Yea i agree , sony is just being mad because we , psp owners found a way to downgrade they’re precious and now they are crying because no one will buy they’re games anymore and want US to upgrade to 2.01 so we all buy from sony!
I used MPH Downgrader and it worked perfectly. Thanks
I have a question. What if you accidently put a file in the wrong spot or sumthin will it brick your psp??
Also when it says put the 2 files at the root of the stick it means the first screen right? The one with the folder that says “PSP”?
yo, um does this thing work with 2.01? i keep finding places that say it will and it wont… plz help XD thx
I’ve successfully downgraded to 1.5 and can honestly say it’s the best thing you can do to your psp if you’re into programming that is. The next step for you then would be to install the ftpd program on your psp so you can ftp tp your psp using the one supplied by windows or linux over wifi.
then download the psptoolchain and start making games!
Hi,
I’m scared. You sure it doesn’t brick your PSP? Please people tell me.
Thanks
Ok then, The assholes who said that this Hack does not work are wrong. I have just done the hack to my psp and it is all working perfectly fine.
So those of you who want to run Homebrew games go for this hack it works fine.
Those of you who are shit stirring I can only assume that there is something seriously wrong with you or you lot are too stupid to know what you are doing with the patch.
hi
i just updated my norton and its not detecting mph as brick
im having a problem downgrading it from 2.0 to 1.5 my comp anti virus keeps deleating the overflow.tif what do i do to prevent this and get this working so i can downgrade it.
i sucsessfuly went from 1.5 to 2.0 and used the mph dpowngrader to go back to 1.5 then i updated to 2.0 again and now i cant get the mph to go work again im stuck on 2.0 can you only use the mph downgrader once please reply?
Well. I haven’t upgraded my norton thing for like a year. I’m good right? Post your serial number and when we got it if you got brike or not. Then we’ll see if it is a random problem or a time thing.
hi.I want to downgrade my psp using the MPH thingyy but im wondering if my psp if version 2.01,can i still downgrade it to 1.50?or its not possible already?please reply fast.thank you
after downgrading to 1.5 my umd games wouldn’t run so i had to upgrade back to 2.0
will it work from ver. 2.5?
um this is not working cause i cant find the overflow.tip file
do what i do. email if youi think i’m lying. my psp was bricked. i ran the batteries, charged it up and turned it on. worked.
any of ya who want to play UMD game and HOMEBREW with one PSP.. well to tell you.. you really CAN’T. only 1.5 can play homebrew and 1.5 cannot work with new UMD Game. so just buy two psp if you got them money. and use one for hacking and one for UMD. im only using it for HomeBrew becuz UMD GAME are FUKING SUCK!!!!!!! to tell you the truth the only good game is Metal gear acid and everything else SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This works!
Does this thing work or not…cus some ppl are sayin yea and some are sayin no so plz answer!!!
I tried it just a second ago, and it works perfectly ^^
holla!!!
it bricked my psp is there a when i turn it on all i c is the screen pitch black is there a way to fix that?
DISABLE NORTON WHEN YOU GUYS DOWNLOAD YOUR OVERFLOW.TIV! THEN, BURN ON A CD ASAP BEFORE NORTON DETECTS IT ON RANDOM AUTO PROTECT SCANS!!
i have the symantec antivirus n it automatically deletes the TIF file and i cant get it bak even if i choose “undo taken action”, can ne wun help?
“HomeBrew becuz UMD GAME are FUKING SUCK!!!!!!! to tell you the truth the only good game is Metal gear acid and everything else SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ”
Your about 14 years old right? You complete donkey.
hi.. my system info shows V.2.00 …. but i have it downgraded… so… does this happen to u guys too???
im atempting to downgrade with no luck
i dicable auto protect yet this file im suppose to have simply isnt there
im kinda lost..
if u have any ideas please post
it would be appretiated
(sos about spelling not my stong point =p)
ok look heres some background info for the noobs, misinformed, and impatient. there are 2 kinds of downgraders. one kind turns your psp to a brick, the other actually downgrades. they both use a file named overflow.tif. its a fake image file that actually contains data. when accessed it causes a buffer overflow which allows for code to be executed. one group of people decided to use code that overwrote the flash rom on your psp with garbage data which makes it impossible to start. the other group used the flash rom from a 1.5 PSP to flash the psp to a working 1.5 state. norton identifies the file “overflow.tif” as a virus because the version that “bricks” your psp contains the same filename as the version that legitimately downgrades you. Its simply a mix-up based on filename and data. another note: basically any file that causes a buffer overflow is considered a virus, regardless of whether or not its good. Take the microsoft sasser (lsass.exe) exploit for example… One author of a variant actually used the vulnerability to run the patch on the infected system, making it invulneravle to further infection, yet virus companies still listed this helpful action as a virus. its the same idea here.
you have said that but you also dont say if this site is legit and how to stop the dam thing deleting because (for me) disabling anti virus just dosnt work
and thank u for the info lol
it did help =p
Will this down grade work with uk machines????
ummm… i dono if i want to do this…. i realy dont want to risk briking it…. why cant someone just kidnap one of the sony programers and force them at hacking point (some sort of viris that will brick 10’s of 1000’s of 10000’s of psp’s) to make a crack… or just right mad emails to sony asking them to drop the freaking “protection” and fix the problem…. or a combo… kidnap a programer and threting to to brick them unless thay do what we demand…. or maybe i should get a job and get a 2nd psp for this…. maybe….
does the downgrade allow me to play GTA. and other 2.0 games
hey i want to help you all if you get this problem my psp just crashed and then i got really pissed off so i took out the battery put it bak in and restarted it up if u put this on your psp dont but even if u dont believe me just try wut i told u bcus i never blieved most of da ppl on here wen i shud hve nd i kno how it feels 2 hve ur psp wrecked so im warning u all do not put it on and enter the photo section on your psp
YEAH! I had my douts but this shit works!
is there a way to know whats the Brickdowngrader or the REALDOWNGRADER(omfg!!!) ?
Yeah what #76 said…I also had many doubts like all those people out there but in the end, i was able to downgrade with no problems.
how do u downgrade from 2.6 to 1.50
Hi Guys still not got the guts to do it because i sore the video that is in the video section maybe someone can video the process with these files so we can see it not being bricked
Well im really messed right any diffrenece with the downgrade bettween a japanese or a uk psp also if i get 2gb card can i play all the iso’s i get from torrent spy or others?
Yes it wrked this is sik!!!! salute to ManHan people like like u make this possible nuff respect!
This is very safe. I thought about doing it several times then i just went for it. It really works, just make sure you do everything the directions say and it will work!
ok im 13 and kinda scared shitless about downgrading to 1.5… im a noob but im gettin the hang of it.. what happens when ur psp gets “bricked?” cuz there is no way i can afford to get another psp if somethin happens.. i had to actually pay for mine cuz i have to “earn” my money… damn it..
someone reassure me =]
and to #41 who cares if homebrewing is illegal!!! sony is just bein a lil b***h cuz theres only like 3 good games for the psp..
how did i unzip the files
Hello.
I am informing you of a hack containing
TROJ_PSPBRICK.A.
This hack is the MPH Downgrader.
“This Trojan disguises itself as a cracking tool for the PSP console. Upon installation, it displays the following message:
PSP TEAM 2.0 Exploit Hack the 2.0 firmware
Thank’s to toc2rta for the 2.0 exploit :)
It then proceeds to delete the following files needed to properly start the device:
index.dat – an important system file
init.prx – an important file to start the device
loadcore.prx – starts the PSP console
loadexec.prx – loads an executable file
After deleting the above files, this Trojan displays the following message:
Your 2.0 is hacked please reboot
Thank you PSP Team the french team
FuCk yoshihiro and SonyxTeam Looser”
(Courtesy of Trend Micro Systems)
This is a malicious threat to users of the Sony Playstation Portable®. All I ask is that you please remove the threat from your site; hosting a trojan isnt something that is worthwile.
^^^ To #86. Thats all bullshit, isn’t it? I’m on the verge of downgrading, because now that i’m done fooling around with GTA, which i had to update for, i wanna rollback on to 1.5 and get my homebrews back.
To 87
There is a high risk that this download will infect your psp with the brick. I have 2 friends and myself who ‘bricked’ their PSPs with this program. 1 of them was so upset he took a hammer to his psp… luckaly I am fairly decent at programming to understand how this trojan wrks so I removed the overflow item and isolated the trojan… I also had to dump the previous firmware and reload the 2.0, then I updated to 2.6, hoping it would be better, it isnt… I was thinking of running linux, but I havent
to 87 I would suggest a firmware dump instead of the downgrading. go 2 the download sctn of the ste. it has firmware dumps. be leery of the trojan… dont get this software, it isnt worth it. just firmware dump
Hey this works great scared as hell at first but it cmae through for me big up psp hacks I also got the bullshit virus detected
I downgraded my PSP. Really funny story. I first downloaded the PSP hack ( downgrader) ran it and then turn it off, rebootet, did everything right… but then the PSP went black while hearing to musik. Some peopel have said, this happens so i wasn’t scared. Then i tryed turning it on. Nothing. Again… nothing. I couldn’t turn it on. I charged it for 3 hours. Nothing. I went to the store and asked what happend. He told me that it had been bricked. I was shocked and asked for a new one. Then he told me i couln’d give it back beacause i had downloaded soemthing bad, and that wrecked it… its like if u let ur psp fall from the balkony. Then i sended it to sony. They sended me a brand new PSP ver. 1.00. I then upgraded it to 1.50 and finally had firmware 1.50 and homebrew (like quake. doom 2)
That was scary. I must warn everybody that has downloaded the MPH downgrader!
Do it, but then ur responcible.
U wont get a new one if it gets bricked. Sony only sended me one back beacause i said: Overflow.tiff was included in a ( not free ) mp3 music download. I did not mean to download it. ; ) they trusted me.
Sony e-mailed me and told me that overflow.tiff IS A VIRUS! A TROJAN TO BE EXACT. DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE MPH OR ANY OTHER DOWNGRADERS THEY DELETE FILES NEEDED TO RUN YOUR PSP.
REMEMBER –> A PSP IS EXPENSIVE
DO YOU WANT TO RUIN IT?
But, everyone is free to do what he wants!
Just when Im on the verge of Downgrading to v1.5! It’s hard to believe all these stories, Dunno where to stand. Sumbody please share their confession to me in private. I downloaded the MPH Downgrader and Norton updated (12-31-05) Picks it up as a Trojan. Im freaked, Don’t wanna wreck ma PSPumkin’ ..
Sum1 Please advise. Reply to rugz4lyf@gmail.com
Thanx in advance.
can some1 plz help me, when i do everything and i use the downgrader and when i go to photo 4 overide it freezes(and my battery i 100%) auto turns off so then i try again and the same thing happens and then i turn it back on and i check the saved games with the thing and i see the downgrade thing to downgrade it to 1.5 and it says your version is 2.00 no need to update

Nice blog you have here I’ve been wanting to put one on my site for refinance mortgage
http://www.nationalrefinancemortgage.com
ROTFLMFAO!!!
hehe. i bought my PSP with firmware version 2.50, which annoys me.
i actually smeared some glue over the lens(pritt stick) and got a refund when i said i upgraded to 2.5 and that it wouldn’t run GTA.
they replaced gta, but when that failed too they had it downgraded
to 2.0 (dont ask how) and the problem persisted. they gave me a new psp, i asked to keep the “broken” psp as a toy for my baby sister, and simply removed the glue(not simply, actually).
the point is, i got 2, and im wondering if i should risk one. the new one is 2.60, btw

btw.how do u install th custom firmware.the gameshark 1
Nice active blog you have. You have some great reading here.
Great blog.
Is it true, that when you downgrade 2.0 to 1.5 , all region UMD’s movies can be viewed? (Region restriction will be lifted) I’m about to downgrade, and only want to, to view different region movies.

A note to all you people who are scared about this. Belive me, I was really scared to, but I just did it, and now I have a 1.5 And to all you people who want to have 1.5 and UMDs than get MPH Firmware Launcher here: http://dl.qj.net/MPH-Firmware-Launcher-v1.4.0-Gaming-Consoles-PSP/pg/12/fid/4661/catid/114
It lets you install 2.00 on top of 1.50 and not to flash, so you can go back and forth without constantly upgrade and downgrade. And to #115, DONT INSTALL THE CUSTOM FIRMWARE!!! IT WILL BRICK YOUR PSP!!! You have to install it on MPH Firmware Launcher, or some other kind of Firmware launcher!
Refinance
http://www.phinanz.com/
ok, this is my first time being to this site. can someone please explain whats up with the 1.5 and 2.0 and that stuff and why it would be better to have 1.5, do you just upgrade ur psp like normal and downgrade it with the program, if thats totally wrong, sorry, but i dont know much about it. just, can someone explain it all to me as simple as possible? that would help alot

Hahahaaa… I haven’t done this yet, but I have no fears as to bricking my PSP. I have a 2-year warranty!!! Oh, and by the way, there was a strange quote from Kaz Hirai (SCEA’s president) about homebrew. He said he wouldn’t rule it out completely in the future. Wonder what he’s up to…
#89, what is a firmware dump? Sorry to sound like a n00b, but I’m new to hacking PSPs. What I think it is right now is just something that doesn’t actually change the firmware, but gives you the benefits of another firmware. I need to know this ’cause I have 1.52 and want to use stuff that only works on 1.50.
I really enjoy reading your articles. Keep up the great work.
TBoardenson
Totally awesome…
Went from 1.52 to 2.0 to 1.5!
is there yet a downgrade for 2.60…ive been waiting and am sick of GTA cheap Homebrew. Is there a patch yet and if so could somebody please post link please!
Tried it for the first time today. Was a bit nervous but after folowing the easy step by step instructions I managed to update from 1.5 to 2.0 and then back again. EASY!!!
Ok, this is for all of you who have reservations about downgrading your firmware. First, this process is risky, no matter how you look at it. If you do it wrong, it will brick your system. If you do it right, it works great. If you don’t know whether or not you should, odds are you probably will have trouble downgrading the system, and may even brick it, so don’t bother risking it. Second, for those of you who ask, “Should I try to downgrade my system? I’ve heard some say it messes you up….” blah blah blah. Well, the best advice I can give you is read what’s already written, because the same people who called foul and the same people who can’t say enough good things are going to keep calling foul and keep saying good things. God is not going to post the final answer on whether or not this is good for your PSP. Make up your own damn mind based on what you read. Personally I see the smart people saying this worked, and the little kids who just discovered the swear word as thier new toy are the ones who can’t make it work. Makes a guy think, huh?
Also, in big bold letters, the downgrade instructions say at the top, “This will ONLY WORK on a 2.0″
Stop asking

Your blog is very interesting. It’s nice to read such thing. More people should try writing articles just like this one! Useful information is always welcome on any webpage! cash advance
Gotcha real nice blog, great reading for your visitors.
You really shouldn’t worry because if you were smart…you would have bought a warrenty with your psp, that is if you bought it from ebgames.
lols stupid ppl, even if u have warranty, if u mess up your psp bcuz of this program, they wont send you a new one since u were doin sumtin illegal … plus~ think , why are ppl gettin so mad about others sayin this is a virus .. maybe its the staff of this site posting all those good comments and gettin mad at the others becuase its keepin ppl away from dlin their programs

i was wondering if it matters that the 1.50 update is a japanese update? and if i was to decide to re-upgrade back to 2.00 US would it be possible?
Man you’re good giving people the virus thinking that its safe…you french people are tricky little bastards and nerds…i mean, who would sit at home and make a virus for a childrens toy, thats kinda lame

I’m pulled between the ones saying “This is a virus” and the ones saying “This isint a virus,it works perfactly.”.I mean,I dont know who to belive anymore.The people who say it works,and the people that say it doesnt work.I guess I just need proof,or reassurance :/

PS: Tis Is Juz Wat I Think…Doesn’t Intend To Hurt Any Of U Guyz Feelings…
First of all, just to set the record straight, this is a virus. It is a buffer overflow virus designed specifically to crash your firmware. Now, that being said, if you read the instructions and follow them, after the virus crashes the Firmware, the system will have a corrupt “firmware version” and thus allows you to upgrade to 1.5. Since it still does have 2.0 data on there the install of 1.5 fails at 99% and you have to reboot. Rebooting erases all the firmware data and reloads, from scratch, the 1.5 data. That is why you can downgrade from 2.0, because a virus very carefully destroys certain parts of the firmware. So YES, it’s a virus, YES it’s harmful, and YES it works if you read the fucking instructions. Do NOT do this if you are one of those that posts saying “Well I dunno, you sure it won’t break my game” because you will rush through and read “only the important parts” and skip a minor detail and shell out for a new PSP.
Also, as a sidenote, you can downgrade as many times as you want, as long as you remove all the extra data the downgrade puts onto your memory card. There should only be two folders and no files in the root of the memory card when you first start. I’ve downgraded 5 times now and haven’t had a problem.
Great Blog keep it up man.
to those who dont know how to disable nortan anti-virus…. there should be an icon at the……. bottom of the screen… right click and click on…. disable.
you can reach me at…….myspace.com/oblivion_demon
i did Excatly wat the instrutions told me but i ran the overflow the system automatically turned off i then turned it back on and went to the system update and clicked start….it then told me that it was v. 2.0 there is no need to update………wat the hell should i do?!
superb blog keep it up
Nice blog man keep it up
Thanks
Lee
Just to reassure every one. I just downgraded my psp and it worked great as long as you follow the instructions carefully. Don’t get fooled by the idiots on this site that say this doesn’t work.
every time i try to put the overflow.tif file in the photo, is keeps saying that it has a virus in it,can someone help me to put that file in the photo file please.
well i cant agree with it but i accecpt it..good blog

well i cant agree with it but i accecpt it..good blog
I’m not sure about downgrading, but after reading this whole page, I’m pretty sure I’m gonna do it. I am going to follow those instructions letter by damn letter though! I don’t have the money to buy legal PSP games anyways … =)
does bricking your psp just mean completly fucking it as in it wont even start like just sits like a brick?
I had to disable Symantic, if anybody disabled Norton and it’s still gone. BTW, I’m in the middle of downgrading and I go into Photo on my PSP, choose Memory Stick, and, instead of letting me scroll down to hover on overflow.tif it just freezes, and shuts off after about five seconds. What am I doing wrong/what should I do? Please help!
NVM, I had to COMPLETELY disable Norton/Symantic in Computer Management.
For anyone who is wondering, my PSP works fine now on 1.5 – this is not a virus. How ever, do not get the fucked version, as it bricks your PSP. Make sure you download from PSP Hacks!
@ psps rock: Yes, that pretty much sums it up.
Norton says its a trojan because it is a trojan, so if you wanna brick your psp go ahead and download that MPH file.
So when the trojan brick virus is detected by norton after unzipping MPH downgrader u just ignore it? I will shit myself if this thing bricks my psp!
Disabling the anti-virus software on your poota means the overflow will be able to be copied to your psp…simle as that. But after doing all this, i also am having the same problem as a few others here – that when you go to PHOTO and try to open it, the psp freezes, and switches itself off. Can ANYONE please post an answer tho this problem??? Someone somewhere must know the answer….?! *HELP!*
Can some1 please confirm some details for me … I’ve been asked about d/grading 2 psp’s for a m8.
If I use the software from here and follow the instructions then everything should work.
If it fucks up is there any way to recover it???
Please reply A.S.A.P
cheers.
