Easy 2.50/2.60 Downgrader Released
greg | July 4, 2006
A developer by the name of Xtrusion has released a Windows tool to aid in the 2.50/2.60 downgrading process. It doesn’t get any easier than this folks: simply connect your PSP via USB and run this executable, follow the steps which are presented in a textual and audible manner, the downdater files (released a few days ago by Dark AleX, Mathieulh and Yoshihiro) will be copied to the correct locations on your memory stick, and shortly thereafter… voila! You’ve got a 1.50!
Download Easy 2.50/2.60 Downgrader - packages includes everything you need.
Note: Remember, there are precautions you should take before attempting a downgrade - you may render your PSP a brick:
- Your PSP CANNOT be a TA-082 (If you do have this PSP version, it may result in a brick)
- Your PSP CANNOT be a factory 2.50/2.60 PSP! It had to have been updated once before from a previous version or the downgrader will not work, thus a brick!

6th post woo
and yeah LCS is still neded
o…….m…..g
i went thru all that just to downgrade my PSP
and i did
and now…..an easy one….
well it was late
but it will be helpful
way 2 go
pff im scared im practely poor and my psps means evrything for me im scared it will turn in a brick :(
If it is a brick my mom would KILL me hmm Should i try to downgrade? Or there stats of howmany psp succesfulley downgraded or bricked?
Help me
ps; sory for me bad english
THIS STILL NEEDS THE GTA - ELOADER, WTF! GET OFF THE GTA AND DO SOMETHING WITH OUT THEN MAYBE THOUSENDS OF PPL WILL BE THRILLED. 8-| JUST ANOTHER 3′RD PARTY APP’ NEEDING A FORTH PARTY APP TO USE A 5′TH PARTY APP SO YOU CAN USE A 6′TH PARTY APP.
TO THE NOOBS, WTF! YOU CAN’T UNDERSTAND THE USE OF COPY AND PASTE TO YOUR PSP? PPL REALLY NEED TO COME UP WITH CRAP LIKE THIS? :)) NOOBS ARE TO FUNNY.
I had a PSP with FW 2.01 then i update to 2.50
in the UMD slot is IC9001
can i downgrade ?
I will be happy only if you make the ta-082 PSP’s work.
Lol it seriously doesnt get any more easier then this…u noobs are sooo lucky to be spoonfed all this stuff…
nice job xtrusion
I Already Have a 1.50, (Downgrade a 2.00 PSP) So I Don’t Need This Downgrader or Modchip, Im happy With 2.50 On Emulated Though DEVHOOK
Awesome work…although i still think doing the whole thing manually will benefit me better(dunno about you guys)…this is very nice for the newcomers that are looking to downgrade…nice work dude!
Oh well, I have 2.7 so this wont work for me anyways.
I had 2.50 and heard downgrader (the one previous to this post). I upgraded to 2.60, and then decided to risk it. With the files I downloaded from this site, I had no problem at all. I now have a 1.50 PSP.
Thanks to everyone that has contributed, and to the complainers? If you don’t have something nice or useful to say, how about just keeping quiet?
Worked like a charm!
yeah get the fuck off with gta i dont feel like spending 40 bucks to get a shit game. just make a downgrader with out gta and BAM thats it
The instructions tell you to go in and delete all the files off your mem stick….
It’s much quicker to format from the system settings menu FYI
To x, who cares, and the like…I’d like to see you come up with and exploit to run homebrew code without GTA…otherwise shut the fuck up and quit complaining.
Two things that make this downgrader whilst good, not much use to many.
1. No good those who bought a PSP with 2.5/2.6 preloaded.
2. Most people who upgraded from a usable F/W version most probably have been dumb enough to continue to upgrade to 2.7+ by now.
For all those bitching about having to use GTA to use this downgrader, someone you know most probably has it, or a video/game rental store may have it to rent.
To Adam. Take your opinion and STFU. Gta aint worth spending $40 bucks on and never was. To whom that think i need it. lol what a laugh. I have a 1.0 but do you see me bregging about it like the rest of the IDIOTS on here? Just stating GET THE FUCK OFF GTA. As to cracking the 2.5+ firmwares. I aint updating my PSP to get you fucks happy id and when it was done.
ya know what i say get the heck off of downgraders!!! stop wasteing all of your time on downgraders and make apps on 1.5 for use smart enough NOT to upgrade! If you have 2.6 or 2.5 you deserve to spend $40 to downgrade so you stfu!
i had a 2.01 upgraded to 2.60 a few months ago to play socom umd and downgraded yesterday night my mother board reads ic6001. i also downgraded my mates factory 2.60 psp with no problems at all and his mother board also reads ic6001 so i dont know what the warning means on the downgrader when it says it wont downgrade a factory 2.50-2.60 psp,anyway just sayin thanks to the developers who worked a long time on this exploit.
guys at psp-hacks, i have downgraded from factory 2.6, so it should work!!!
gj tho for all that made the downgrader possible….
Thank you, coders and the like for making my PSP one of the best sources of entertainment I have.
I have a psp with FW 2.5 should I upgrade it to 2.6 first before using the downgrader? Also, can you still repair a bricked psp?
quick question if you delete all the files that were put in the psp through this file would you go back to 2.5/2.6 i cant tell you because i have a 2.71 i got all excited about new ps1 emu and upgradedand another thing does the mod chip tell you that you have both versions at the same time or do you switch back and forth
ACTUALLY, ITS BEEN PROVEN THAT IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT THE FACTORY FIRMWARE WAS! PEOPLE HAVE SUCCEEDED IN DOWNGRADING FACTORY 2.5s
Hey I installed this downgrade and a bunch of stuff is working great…BUT
I can’t get NesterJ or RIN to boot. Any suggestions?
na man sry
My friend uploaded the 2.71 version and now i hate him
i wonder if i can downgrade it with this one??
if i do what will it happend????
i still dont get it tho?! if its 1.5, why we need to use the shitty gta loader? why cant we just use the kxploit that was found ages ago?
OMG!!!
JUST CAME BACK FROM THE SNOW!!! TYIED IT AND IT WORKS!!!
it is soo easy yo do, no way you can fail!!!! thank you sooooo much
I HAVE a factory 2.50 PSP used the downgrader..followed the insttructions and it worked like a charm ………..
fuck yeah
So does this program have the 1.5 dump files?
how would i know if its ta-082? does dis still need a gta umd? please let me know. tnx!
yeah, it still needs gta. :(
WORKED 100% THANK THE PSP GODS.

My psp brick after using the program…
I have factory 2.6 and in the umd place isnt a number can i downgrade my psp?? Please help!!!!
Thanks:D
If there is no writing you have not got a ta-082 thus you should be fine, don’t take my word for it tho i jus downgraded my factory 2,60 with the code ic6001 which you shouldn’t be able to downgrade but it worked and now im running homebrew app’s with ease. Thanks to all who worked hard on this downgrader. keep up the good work
Thank you! i will try it but at first i need GTA i have to steal that!:D
when i originally bought my psp it had 2.5v firmware (and still has) how do I know if its a factory made 2.5 or just upgraded version ?
wow…diddnt think this would ever happen a real downgrader…oh well i have no intention of using it
O.m.G thx so much now my psp is 1.50 thx XD
and f0me its not for noobs its for people that didnt know 1.50 was good and thought 2.60 was the best
do i have to find a dump of version 1.50? or i just need easy auto downgrader? ( i already have gta.)
U Just need auto downgrader, i didn’t have a dump ver 1.50, i was really worried when i did it tho, it’s an expensive gamble but im glad i did it now.
to edfuk:
thank u man. i’m gonna downgrade now :)
What about upgrading again once it’s been downgraded can that be done? … and then downgrade again?
Or should one just used DevHook once downgraded??
IS IT ALSO POSSIBLE TO DOWNGRADE WITH A FACTORY 2.5 VERSION??
OR DO U NEED TO UPGRADE TO 2.6 FIRST??
THANK YOU,
Excuse me, but shoold I have a game GTA LCS (old version) to daungrage my PSP?
I have a factory 2.5. Should I upgrade to 2.6 and then downgrade, or does it make a difference?
how does the GTA LCS exploid work?
anyone got a link for me?
yo this thing makes it so easy and it worked i am sooo happy…sony got pwned
I succesfully downgraded from a brand new european factory 2.50 PSP, so it DOES WORK on factory 2.50 and you DON’T have to upgrade to 2.60 first… And yes, 1.50 is awesome!!!
This program worked like a charm.
All you need is updated your PSP to 2.5 or 2.6 and a copy of GTA.
The program automatically installs everything that’s needed with excellent instructions!
Good Work!

Tested and works on a factory 2.5 with ic6001 board
i have a factory 2.6 of japan but i bought aumd of GTA,i also downloaded the downgrader from here,then i started the program the photo of the gta umd doesn’t match with mine So can i try this?
hey…guys….
listen.. i tryed to downgrade my psp v2.6 but i think my GTALCS doesnt match with the given image in the program.. can anyone say me how to identity the OLD GTALCS before buyin… plzzzzzzzz
i bricked my psp. i had a ic1003. i did not delete all my files like the guy says. does that matter. and i have the best buy warrenty. so i am getting a new psp today in like 1 hour. should i try downgrading again. i would love to have 1.5
Hmm, I also have the Best Buy warranty, plus I have a ic1003 with factory 2.6 firmware. If I brick it, will the warranty cover that?
to jack. yes best buy will cover it. i bricked mine. so today i am going to best buy to get a new one. ie i have the warrenty. can u answer my ? and tell me if it works
omg…since this has came out, i’ve been dying to do it, but i really didn’t wanna brick my psp since it’s the only one i have, i don’t have enough money to buy a new one, and i really dont want to install the mod chip. ( no offense aginst the mod chip, sounds awesome, i’m just kinda lazy) I finally got the balls and i figured i’d screw up from being nervous about bricking the psp, so this came in handy. just do what it says, and to all you noobs who have the IQ of a retarted monkey….stop asking stupid questions, if you have a stupid question, don’t ask, THAT MEANS YOU DON’T NEED TO BE DOING ANYTHING WITH YOUR PSP, ESPICALLY DOWNGRADING!!! thank you psp-hacks, xtrusion, and espically Dark_AleX…you guys rock. sorry for making this so long :)

JAP PSP Ceramic White 2.5 factory owner.
Used Downgrader2.50-2.60ENFULL.exe (Easy downgrader 2.50/2.60) and after a few minutes, it succeded!!!
It worked like a Ferrari engine… just perfect.
Congrat’s to all contributors that made this downgrader such an amazing success.
to everyone who keeps posting “I have X.X FW with this and that, can I still downgrade?” I have an idea, read the fuckin’ posts and websites to find out for yourself and quit littering the posts with this “please help me” crap!
yay it worked
i have a ? can someone tell me if the downgrader worked on a ic1003. asap
me to having ic1003 and factory fw 2.60 is there any alternative way to downgrad my psp.
im gonna get my psp downgraded this saturday.. meetin someone with gta lcs.. have formatted… installed the easy downgrader. have a factory 2.5.. upgraded to 2.6. just bought a month ago. gonna downgrade soon. wish me luck!
THANKS DARK ALEX AND ALL!!!
It worked! This program is noob proof, easiest thing ever! Used this with a factory 2.5 now 1.5 :D!!
i ahve two psp’s.. a black one (1.5) and a white one (2.5) if i downgrade my 2.5 white psp with the GTA to a 1.5.. will my white psp still need the GTA UMD to run apps?? cuz i dont own an official GTA UMD and i need to know if i should own one for this white 2.5 soon to be 1.5
HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE ic6001???????
I HAVE EUROPEAN FACTORY 2.6 AND IN THE UMD AREA IS NOTHING OF NUMBER!!!!
PLEASE HELP
PLEASE REPLY TO THIS…
does this easy installer package need a loader or sth to load into homebrew to run the downdater test or its included already?
and nelson… with this downgrader i dont think u have to use the gta umd already. once downgraded to 1.5… Viola!
IF!! YOU BRICK YOUR PSP, WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT? I HEARD ABOUT A CHIP OR SOMETHING FOR 90 BUCKS BUT HOW DOES THAT WORK ETC.
Hi, I’ve seen that people who bought 2.5 factory psp’s have been able to downgrade, but … instructions warn that this will not work, I’m confused. I have a 1.5, but if it’s possible to downgrade a 2.5 factory psp I’d deffinitely go get one, just for backup purposes… :)
Can anyone please confirm that IT DOES WORK, Beyond any reasonable doubt, with new 2.5 factory PSP’s?….
Thanks.
There’s in my opinion a FAQ needed even for this easy to use downgrader. Reading the post someone who has downgraded a factory 2.6, need to answer the following:
1. Does this downgrader support factory 2.5/2.6?
2. Is there a need for GTA during the downgrade process?
3. Are you requried to do anything, like delete files from your PSP prior the downgrade process, or are you prompt to do so during?
4. Is GTA needed to load homebrew or iso’s after the downgrade to 1.5?
5. How do you distinguish a patch GTA version from the original released, since the patch version does not comply with eloader?
These questions are needed to be answered. i.m.o
/Hugo
ok, I took the risk and it worked!! :D:D:D:D:D:D
can someone tell me if any psp has been downgraded with it being a IC-1003. and can someone trying talking to Dark Alex to him making a downgrader for psp that are IC-1003.
oh, I expirienst 1 problem with the downgrade.
because now I dont have a option anymore to change the collor of my background.
and i cant play movies anymore
how does this come?
HELP
can anyone respond to my ? aboove!!!!!
people, it wrked for some people with factory 2.5 FW so its your call if you wanna risk it or not!!!!!! Everything you need to know is on the instructions, if it says to delete you delete, just do what they say, and you should be fine. As for the factory 2.5 psp’s its more risky to try but if you dont try you will never know!!!!! REMEMBER, ITS UP TP YOU TO DECIDE, DONT KEEP ASKING PEOPLE IF YOU SHOULD DOWNGRADE OR NOT!!!!!!!!!!!
anyone tried to downgrade a model # 1ci003?
thank you
i mean ic1003
I try with my psp 1C1003 and does not work .I have a brick psp
1. Does this downgrader support factory 2.5/2.6? YES
2. Is there a need for GTA during the downgrade process? YES
3. Are you requried to do anything, like delete files from your PSP prior the downgrade process, or are you prompt to do so during? YES, AND YOU WILL BE TOLD TO DO THIS WHILE RUNNING EASY DOWNGRADER
4. Is GTA needed to load homebrew or iso’s after the downgrade to 1.5? NO
5. How do you distinguish a patch GTA version from the original released, since the patch version does not comply with eloader? WHILE RUNNING EASY DOWNGRADER, YOU WILL BE SHOWN A PICTURE OF THE GTA BOX, IF YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT BOX, THEN YOU HAVE THE PATCHED VERSION. DO NOT USE THE PATCHED VERSION.
6. EASY DOWNGRADER WILL NOT WORK ON PSP’s WITH THIS NUMBER PRINTED ON THE MOBO ic1003
took the risk and now have 1.5….. had a ic6001 with firmware 2.6
w0000000000t it worked ;)
Huge thank you to all involved. Very much appreciated.
btw I had a UK factory (as far as I know) 2.5 with no markings on the mobo.
Worked GREAT!!! JUST SUPER!
My friend’s psp waz @ 2.6 and this simple downgrader took it back where it needed to be!
It is so simple and easy it’s rediculous
Thanks to all those involved!@!!!!!
will this work?
I’m afraid to brick my PSP
This didn’t work for me. I deleted the files from the mem card then ran the program. It copied all the files to the card but when I tried to run it from the eloader, my psp goes black and my mem card light does not blink at all. It boots up just fine like nothing happend. Am I doing something wrong here? I’m fairly positive mine was a 2.00 when I got it. I remember having to update when I got GTA.
it worked for me!!! i just did everything exatly how the instructions told me to do, i got sacared when the message cannot read the system appeared but i restarted my psp and everything is fine now :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
why wont this downgrader work on ic1003 at all. can someone tell me. and then tell dark alex to make one for us ic1003 users
Now i need help on how to play ISO’s on my psp, any1 knows a site where there is an explanation on how to do this, wich programs to install, etc
Whew….success. I held my breath and ran the downdater again and this time the card light started blinking and a few moments later… viola!!! I have a 1.50 PSP.
@ cool. if you have a compatible PSP then yes it will work.
@ dipswitch. it’s called 2.50/2.60 downgrader for a reason. As in ‘you must have ether a 2.5 or a 2.6 PSP’ for it to work.
Upgrade to one of those versions and then use this prog.
make sure your PS is compatible first. Do that by reaing this F***ING thread.

No need to be a dickhead about it. If you read 2nd post. I got it to work. So allow me to clear up my first post. My psp had 2.00 when I got. I updated to 2.6 when I got GTA awhile back. I tried to use this program to downgrade, it didn’t work the first time. I tried it again and it worked. So chill the fuck out.
i need to know how can i get games copied or get them free ok i have a psp 2.6 i tried to use the downgrader and it did not work ok can anyone help me ok please
do we need a mem stik higher then 32mb>?
will someone try this on a TA-082?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!
It worked like a dream. 1.5, now, ready to do dev on. I had a factory 2.5 (Australian). Just to be safe upgraded to 2.6, then used the easy downgrader, following the instructions to the tee… And now I’m :)
now we need a 2.70 and a 2.71 downgrader
I want to try this out, but my fw is 2.01 and I dont have the files to upgrade to 2.6. Is there a file that will upgrade me to 2.6? Or should I get a game that will do it for me? If anyone has the file, can you email it to me at alexeonlanar (at) gmail (dot) com ? thanks!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS it works, i was dum scared but it works. :) i had a back up plan on telling my mom that its not working so she buy me another one. but YES it works, SO HAPPY
Please someone answer this, are the 1.50 downdater files included in this. I really don’t know anyone with a psp that has firmware 1.50.
i think it does.
but im not sure
im a noob and was wonderin if you need gta lcs for this?
and can someone tell me how this works?
WOW. this is awesome. i have a 1.5 psp now!!! and this downgrader’s GUI is AWESOMEEEEEEE! Better than anything ive seen from sony.
i just read a post how you can upgrade from 2.5 to 2.6 and downgrade all the way to 1.5, i bought mine as a 2.5, can someone confirm it will work and wont brick!!?
how do u know if your psp is TA-082 ??????
OMFG IT WORKED THX 2 ALL THT WORKED ON IT
wow… just downgraded my white psp from a 2.6 to a 1.5.. started playing the new tekken 5 dr iso in jap and that game is the best game ever!! but the crazy thing is once i exited tekken.. and return to the psp menu screen, my confirm button was now X instead of O (americanized instead of trad. jap buttons) and i checked my firmware and it went to a firmware 2.5.. happen to anyone else? seems like this downgrade is not so reliable.. oh well.. atleast i have a 1.5 black psp that i downgraded froma 2.0
*ANOTHER UPDATE* it seems as if my new white 2.5 (After the downgrade then back to an unusual upgrade by itself) i can only access ISOs as if I am going to load a UMD.. i cant run any apps on my memory card so its really acting like a 2.5 but it is playings backed up ISOs as UMDs.. i need to know is this normal because it is becoming a hassle to access other ISOs and games.. please let me know if anyone is going thru this
*LAST AND FINAL UPDATE* false alarm.. it turned out that my white psp continued staying as a 1.5 after the 2.5/2.6 downgrade.. i found out by taking out my memory stick to confirm its weird activity.. turns out that the app i installed with my tekken 5 iso caused my psp to trick its firmware to a 2.5 to play the ISO.. therefore i thought it upgraded itself.. haha.. im funny.. anyways, good luck everyone and have fun with their “new” psp’s.. i know i am
Are the 1.50 downdater files included in this, please, this is the only thing I need.
my psp worked it was a ic6001 the only prob so far is my internet broser does not show up any more anybody got any ideas
There is no internet browser with 1.5
FAILURE: BRICK
US Factory 2.5, motherboard ID: IC1003. Confirmed >_

dumbass mark…….did you upgrade to 2.6 before you downgraded…….lmao *sigh*

Thanx for answering my ? and also thank you for EZ 2.6 2.5 DOWNGRADER. I think this is it, this shold be it, works GREAT, even an Idiot can do it. Great job, keep up the Good, no GREAT work!
Just rent GTA instead of buying it, downgrade your PSP and your set :)
I’m just scared… Is it worth it? And will the GTA work i have been running 2.6 homebrew emus on it…
How do you know if you have the TA - 082 psp? I haven’t been to the page in like 3 months. I basically stopped messing around with my psp since today, I just bought Monster Hunters: Freedom. I HAVE to upgrade if I want to play.
Just dont screw up when you are on the downdating thingie with the eloader. I screwed it up a little and it bricked my psp. Dont shut it off so early or something like that

Welcome back 1.5 world
i have a couple of questions, hopefully someone will be able to awnser.
1) i have nothing written on my motherboard so will i be able to downgrade(my psp is a U.S factory 2.6 firmware)
2) if i brick it will sony’s warranty cover it(if not will Fry’s warranty cover it)
THANKS!!!!!! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR A LONG TIME!!!!! please can someone awnser these ?’s for me
It seems like the factory 2.5/6 was a 1.0 then upgraded it to make it seem like it is just a 2.5/6 well?
why the hell do you need the ac mains adaptor plugged in…. My psp will NOT charge for some reason so i use an external psp battery charger using the same psp ac mains adaptor… I stupidly upgraded from 1.5 to 2.6 thinking it may fix the charging problem and it didnt, also when i upgraded it didnt ask for the ac mains to be plugged in!!! So why do you need to have it plugged in for this downgrader?? Is there away around it?
cheers
HOLY GOD I’M IN SUCH A GOOD MOOD NOW! i’M GONNA GO HAVE SEX!
Does anybody know what a noob is? I want to know ’cause if I’m a noob I’m afraid I’ll end up Brick’n my precious with this downgrader.
****PLEASE RESPOND****
Does it matter what version of eloader I can run? I currently have eloader 0.96 and emenu, I don’t have the 1.50 downdater files, does this program have it. PLZ

Trevor,
Press Circle when the corrupt message apears, and your psp will restart and will be 1.5!
ta-082, is that the white psp?
I can attest that the downgrade has worked for my factory 2.6 firmware. Now, I have a version 1.5 firmware. Thanks Dark Alex.

This Downgrader worked for me to. And I had an Factory 2.5….
/Hugo
Muthafuckmudthafuckmudthafuckfuck! Its 3:30am here, I cant sleep coz I ate something bad dinner time… I browsed the internet for some good news.. I found this easy downgrader… Im a factor 2.5 Jap With IC6001 and now… I am muda fuckin 1. fuckin 5! 1.5! 1.5! FACE YOUR FEARS, LIVE YOUR DREAMS!
i was wondering..
i orignally had a 1.52 and upgraded to 2.60
can i use this to downgrade to 1.50
im asking this because i read this……
“Your PSP CANNOT be a factory 2.50/2.60 PSP! It had to have been updated once before from a previous version or the downgrader will not work, thus a brick!”
so will my psp be okay if i do this??
thnx in advance
Worked fine here with a never updated factory 2.5 PSP1003
@noobz
i orignally had a 1.52 and upgraded to 2.60
i used this and now i have 1.50
Hey dudes. i bought a psp with version 2.5, then i upgraded to 2.6. then i used this program to downgraded. After the process of putting gta and everything’s been done. when i turned it back on it froze, and it supposed to say that “the files are corrupted”.
What do i do now????
Joe. Restart your PSP. It is not a brick. Run the downgrader again if needed.
/Hugo
I was worried all to hell, but i pulled through, 1.5 baby!! factory 1.5>2.0>1.5>2.5>1.5!! Another success story, homebrew, here i come!
Can anyone reccommend some good tutorials or links I can research for UMD dumping and playing UMD dumps. thanks and god bless all who worked on the 2.5/2.6 downdater!
hugo i hgot the same thing as joe happen to me…how can i restart it if i cant turn it on and how do i run the downgrader without it on??
Hugo, i cant turned my psp on after i did the downgrader. it showed the “SonyComputerEntertainment” then it freeze, then it turns by itself off.
please tell me wat to do now
mine does not have the ID numbers on the motherboard i look exactly were there supposed to b and there not there
fuck it i tryed it anyway and i got 1.5 hell yeah baby homebrew here i come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joe. Try taking out your battery for a while. Then reboot.
/Hugo
Joe. If that does not work. Try booting with someone elses memory card. If neither works….it is possible a brick. What do you think went wrong during the downgrade?
/Hugo
Hugo. i followed ur instructions and its still the same. i went through all the steps, BUT i think wat i did wrong was when u know it says “wait for a minute then turn it back on”, i sorta turned it on in 10 seconds. could it possbly be that or soemthing else?? u have a psp that comes with 2.5 as well yeah and it worked fine??
/Joe
i have bricked my psp the light is on but nothin on screen can someone plz help i am from india if i send to u.s then will sony repair it i don know anythin so plz help my email is jeet_patel90@hotmail.com
plz anyone help i was my friends
Jeet. wat version was your psp? was it a factory psp that comes with 2.5?
it was 2.6 that was updated by umd
I have read every comment on this thread, and I am looking for anyone who has bricked his/her PSP using this downdater. I have a PSP (non TA-082) that was upgraded to 2.6 from 1.5. I know that this PSP should downgrade fine, but (quite obviously) I do not want to brick it.
I am well aware that messing with the PSP’s falsh can cause damage, which is the risk one takes I guess. So, has anyone bricked a non-TA082 and upgraded PSP?
Thanks in advance
had a 2.71 psp that broke wouldnt read umd’s and they sent me a brand new 2.6 for guarantee shitted my pants about trying this on a factory 2.6 but i did and it worked no problem 2 minutes later i had 1.5 thank you sooooooo much
so now i got 1.5 how do ya run iso files on it
i cant seem to run any homebrew on my new 1.5 psp i downgraded i go to run it and where a curropt data icon would be the icon turns invisible and if i press x to run it it comes up with a error message that is also blank with no writing would it help if i downgraded to 1.0 from here please help
kind of got it workin now it loads up a game but then it says the game could not be started why is this????
thanks to all the guys that worked on this, im so happy :)
great website
mmm this is real deal very nice. thank god i was looking at all this crap and happend to stumble across this, its nice man great job!
1.5 is well easy to use when you find out how and using devhook to use all the features of the later firmwares and running iso files without upgrading is amazing. I can confirm for anyone that is worrying this does work on factory 2.6 psp’s i used to have a 2.71 psp but it broke so sony sent me a new 2.6 psp model number 1004 tried downgrader and it works perfectly this downgrade is a must have for anyone on 2.5 and 2.6 unless of course you have the ta082 mother board
First Of all This Shit Worked For me and some other People, 1.5 Forever!!!!! thanx to Dark_ALEX and Xtrusion
i have factory 2.5…. what can i do to run iso files on my psp? please help me… i want to downgrade, but it’s factory… is that really the problem? please help me… her is my e mail…
mikica_one@yahoo.com
