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!

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.

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!

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?

Comment by decline

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

2006-07-04 21:44:47

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.

 
Comment by Terranaut
2006-07-04 21:59:14

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.

 
Comment by Who Cares
2006-07-04 22:16:44

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.

2006-07-04 22:36:33

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.

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?

 
Comment by the informer
2006-07-04 23:52:49

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

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

Comment by BB
2006-07-05 13:54:26

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!

Comment by ducky2009
2006-07-05 19:56:27

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 :)

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!

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

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!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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.

2006-07-06 18:23:25

@ 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.

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

 
Comment by nelson
2006-07-08 06:30:13

*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

 
Comment by nelson
2006-07-08 06:35:54

*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

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?

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

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.

Joe. Try taking out your battery for a while. Then reboot.

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. 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??

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

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
