Firmware 2.80 Dumped!
greg | July 27, 2006
Check this out… an email from Patrick!
GmDude66 from pspupdates has managed to fully decrypt firmware 2.80. Below is a changelog of files that were added/changed. And yes, 2.80 uses the same encryption key as 2.70 did.
f:\dh\250\flash0\kd\resource\
me_blimg.imgf:\dh\280\flash0\vsh\module\

lftv_rmc_univerpanel_jp.rco
lftv_rmc_univertuner.rco
lftv_rmc_univertuner_jp.rco
netfront.skn changed to netfront.rcf:\dh\280\ipl and f:\dh\271\iplcomparrison
psp_ipl.bin changed to psp_nandipl.bin
psp_ipl.bin_p1 changed to psp_nandipl.bin_p1
psp_ipl.bin_p2_040F0000 changed to psp_nandipl.bin_p2_040F0000
psp_ipl.bin_p3 changed to psp_nandipl.bin_p3
Please note 2.80 has yet to be emulated with DevHook – this is just the first step – a decrypted copy of ‘reboot.bin’ is still required.
Attached is a revised version of BOOSTER’s DevHook Firmware installer:
- copy the contents of this zip archive to “ms0:/PSP/GAME”
- extract “DATA.PSAR” from the 2.80 EBOOT update [using PBP Unpacker] and copy it to the root of your memory stick (ms0:/)
- run this app. The result: a 2.80 dump in “ms0:/dh/280″

HAHA SONY JUST GOT PWNED HARD! FUCK U SONY! HOMEBREW FOREVER!
yay :) lol
that was fast and i got 1st :)
Ha, I knew it’d only be a couple of hours…now just wait a lil while for Booster to work his magic :)
Yeah faster than sony could think
omg sony’s losig it thats good for us 1 day sad
I dont think sony’s trying anymore to be honest they wasted a lot of man hours fighting it. I would put money on it though that come ps3 time a lot of people will update and that will have a ton of security.imo
HAHA sony sucks so much ass
they should just give up
when i go 2 start the devhook firmware installer on my psp it says that the data is corrupted and it cannot start…how do i make it work???
i guess sony gave up
that was way too fast …. props!
how do i extract data.psar…??
Wow… not even one full day.
Poor Sony.
wow.. that was likw what 1 day?
and all the skeptecism from so many people… lol
>
haha here comes 2.81
nice very nice i looking forward to devhook new project.
i just need 2 kno were 2 put the data.psar
can sum 1 plz tell me
hey if i install this do i have everything i need except the ddevhook emulation? its the whole 2.80 folder
wat is the root of the memor stick???
this is probably a stupid question, but does this have anything to do with running homebrew on 2.8? if not what does it mean?
LOL!!
I really dont understand why you people are fucking gay sometimes, Saying sony sucks, if it wernt for them you wouldnt have a psp or this site. Yea they should let us keep our homebrew but keep the updates because for other people they enjoy it, Quit being such faggots
Wow, this does everything for u!…..gonna try it right now!
Sony just got fucked! the firmware released today (or yesterday, to excited) and it’s already decrypted!
lol, what can u say?
pwnd.
WTF is everyone saying F*CK sony? If it werent for them we wouldnt have a PSP to hack. So what if the latest firmware got cracked? Great work, but once again, sony made it possible.. Wish all these damn ungrateful noobs would STFU already!
so does this let u emulate it to dev. .45 or wat exactly does it do?
Simply put– LMAO!! Can’t wait for Devhook .46! Sony got Pwnd
@J:
the first poster is gay for saying it…..
every1 else is addressing sony’s half assed “UPDATE” coders for using the same encryption key.
@sporx:
nope, not yet, u can’t yet, this is step numero uno ;)
and just for the record, it didn’t work for me….. :(
any1 else got troubles?
lol wow good job guys
this shit wont decrypt…it gives me 2 .txt files n thats it…wtf is goin on fellaz
i dont get how to decrypt the psp. please send back to my email
heres my email pmm920424@yahoo.com
lolerz
@peter:
that’s the reason for the mini tutorial at the top of the page!
Sony should have fired a couple of their coders today…tsk tsk tsk. 2.80 isn’t cracked at all… it was cracked to begin with apparently.
From an outside, non-psp-hacking community standpoint, one can make note that Sony is doing well to at least TRY to protect from piracy…which is more than any other company has done for their systems (non pc). However, something comes out from Sony under the same encryption key… just plain retarded.
DarkPacMan77
if they were to change the encryption key then all games out right now wouldn’t work on the update. and can someone rapidshare the files cause i can’t gwt the decrypter to work. thx.
Why do you guys says fuck Sony? If it weren’t for them you wouldn’t even have a PSP. You should be grateful instead of dumbasses.
LOL
Don’t know if this is what you have to do to get this program to work or not, but before when i tried it all i got was the stupid 2 TXT files, and it deleted the Data.PSAR.
What I did was:
Added the Folder 280 to mx0:/dh/
So I made the folder for 2.8 in DevHook
When you’re finished the file structure should look like this:
ms0:/dh/280
then put the DATA.PSAR in ms0:/
and the program in ms0:/PSP/GAME
and run it via 1.5
haha guys this is NOT A DECRYPTER it only EXTRACTS the files
DarkPacMan77.. what do u mean sony is the only ones trying to protect from piracy… nintendo has the best anti-piracy record for any company
This is fake… Why, oh why would you create false hope like this?!
For all you people having trouble with this, here’s the solution:
After you copy the two folders into the GAME folder, and after you copy DATA.PSAR into the root of the stick, there’s one more thing to do, a very important step that the “tutorial” failed to mention. You need to go to this place in your memory stick:
“ms0:/dh”
In the “dh” folder, you need to make your own folder called “280″. All the other firmware decrypting programs made the firmware folder themselves, but this time you have to make it youselves. After that “280″ folder is made, then go and run the application on your PSP.
for u all people it decrypting only the files from 2.8 to ur Dh folder ,so basicly wait until a new devhook arrives for 2.8 and u may enjoy the 2.8 ok?and another thing stop blabbering like an 5 year old childeren, cuase with all respect sony is the best company but it can be a pain in the ass by knowing they don`t want to lose money that`s why its protected for u all 2 know.so chill and wait for the santa clause to bring presents for us :D
for u all people it decrypting only the files from 2.8 to ur Dh folder as a proof of it,so basicly wait until a new devhook arrives for 2.8 and u may enjoy the 2.8 ok?and another thing stop blabbering like an 5 year old children, cuase with all respect sony is the best company but it can be a pain in the ass by knowing they don`t want to lose money that`s why its protected for u all 2 know.so chill and wait for the santa hacker to bring presents for us :D
double post of doom! and yeah were all waiting for the secksy devhook.. the point of this thread was so we can all see the decryptedness..
sweet! they finally posted one of my emails ^_^ yeh it came out today and already its decrypted XD
sorry for the double, uh, comment but heres some more info: Please note that 2.80 can not yet be emulated until I get the reboot.bin file for 2.80, this just shows that 2.80 is now decrypted. Have fun browsing the 2.80 files for now -GMDude66
hey i was wondering,if someone made a downgrader for FW 2.71 wouldnt it work for 2.80 due to no security patches?
whats boosters web page?
so basically this is just a firmware 2.8 dump….. since devhook can emulate 2.71 ENCRYPTED dump just the reboot.bin has to be decrypted
Hey guys devhook .46 is out,sorry no support for 2.8:(
What happend to video rss? Wasn’t that gonna be an option? I would’ve streamed youtube.
Hehe, i can’t wait for this :p
THIS IS FAKE!
THIS IS FAKE SO ALL THE PEOPLE SAYING SONY SONY GOT PAWNED ACTUALLY GOT PAWNED THEMSELVES, HOW IRONIC HA HA
pspizzle is a dickhead
If this is the smae security code can you just put it in the 2.71 folder and run it off of that?
Sony doesn’t suck. It is thanks to them we have this great hackable handheld. Thank you, Sony.
sounds tight………… So wat does it do
big fckin lol, I must say.. :D
You guys are FUCKING IDIOTS. DevHook uses ENCRYPTED FIRMWARE WITH DECRYPTED REBOOT.BIN.
Anyway, this isn’t even DECRYPTED, so it’s the biggest waste of time EVER. 2.80 could already be extracted in encrypted form as soon as it was released.
Go and learn something about the PSP before you make useless tools that do nothing.
jasOnuk how about you shut the fuck up untill you make some worthwhile input to the whole thing? At least it’s a start you fucking moron. Grow some balls or pull out the ones you have stuck in your ass , before you slate others for giving propz to people who are trying.
Yeh, devhook 0.46 is out:
quote:(July 28th, 2006, 10:46 Posted By: motz
Booster has just released another version of DevHook, updating it to v0.46. Here is what’s contained in the readme:
- There is no 2.8 FW support yet.
- DevHook can now install to flash0 (dangerous, like all PSP flashing).
- If you install DevHook via flash, use “Remove Devhook Files” option to uninstall it.
- some games faster via flashing 0.46, ie F1 2006 (EUR) but GTA still lags.
- if you autoboot or use the Web it does not run from the MS, it runs from flash making things faster using less overhead.
- 333 MHz reported as fixed for some, not offically confirmed.
- be sure to read PSP_FlashROM_ENG.txt if you plan to flash it!
Please remember that there is a risk of bricking when writing to flash and you take full responsibility for using this app!

Except, “K to the I”, my friend, I have made contributions, this is not a contribution, it’s a waste of time, and is getting us no closer to emulation 2.80 on DevHook.
ye but im just notifiying evryone that its even closer for 2.80 emulation!
My GTA dont lag using devHook…
Do your’s lags ?
I got a question, since it uses the same encryption key and theres no security updates, wouldnt it be safe for 2.7+ users to update? because if there almost identical with just that video folder thing, then any exploit in 2.7+ would most likely work on 2.8 too, right?
I told u sony was STUPID
u noob
u need 1.5 for everything fuck mode
jas0nuk does make contributions seen em on ps2nfo.com
anyhows the firmware dump is useful cos when DAX decrypted the 2.71 firmwares he used a file called sysmem.prx to extract the reboot.bin and when devhook supports a firmware it loads all the individual files as the NAND flash would, so they did need to be extracted.
It’s not fake, just got to make sure you create a ms0:/dh/280 folder before running it.
Also noticed it said it could not decrypt loadexec.prx and loadexec.dec
(Keanan)
first you firmware version 1.50 but you can downgrade from versions 2.00 , 2.50 and 2.60 . To use it just extract the RAR to the root of the memory stick and run the Eboot then select you firmware and UMD or ISO and you are emulating that firmware
This isn’t decrypted and the installer doesn’t except the 2.80 data.psar, we can already dump the files encrypted which is useless without the decrypted reboot.bin. And weener it is you fault for updating.
To all of you guys saying Sony sucks or F*** Sony I think you need to grow up and remember that without Sony, you wouldn’t even have this great portable to do anything with. So next time you open your mouth, maybe you should let your brain (assuming you actually have one) catch up first. Sony bought as this great portable so have some respect. Thanks Sony!!
2^,,, holy shit dude 2.8 has been out only 2 days and your already asking people if there is news on a downgrader, its your own fuckin fault for upgrading and no-one is to blame but yourself.
ya and think about it there is now way to run any homebrew on 2.7X so quit asking about downgraders before there could ever be one someone has to figure out how to run any sort of homebrew. so yes it is your fuckin fault but i did it too with my second PSP but i had a warrenty on it so i got a new and downgraded from 2.6
is there going to be a downgrader now that 2.8 is supposedly cracked????
Its easy if you want 2.8, update like i did. I always update right when released, its the way to go!
Oh, and whoever says Fuck Sony should be kicked in the head, Sony brought us the great PSP, so show some respect!
I see the title has been changed to 2.80 dumped which isn’t news because anybody can do it.
Jasonuk is right, this is nothing new. if it really had been decrypted then that would be something new.
ROFLMAO!!!!!! DECRYPTED ALREADY!!!!!!!
Ok just wait for the 2.81 ahaha. Sony should use a really hard encryption this time!
CR7, you must be blind, and a lot of other people too, as this is NOT DECRYPTED.
SONY ARE NOT THAT STUPID, they changed the key!
It’s not decrypted yet dumbasses… it’s just extracted, which anyone could have done. Sheesh…
For those having a problem with the decryptor not doing anything… make the folder ms0:/dh/280 and then it should work.
This is gonna be run by devhook real soon!
I think… if you post more than three comments on one post on a regular basis… you spend a little too much time caring about PSP and using the “I care about the hacking ‘community’ excuse” to justify the fact that you don’t want to find something else to do, so jas0nuk please quit yelling lol we don’t care if it’s not decrypted or that people are saying it is… if they’re that stupid to think it is in the first place, just go on letting them think that and it can be their problem and maybe if they’re stupid enough someday they’ll brick their PSPs and go away forever.
HI I am a newb and I want 2 know how to do this please help me, I don’t understand what 2 do
Please e-mail me the finished procedure, on elpasho2001@yahoo.co.uk
Hey elpasho2001@yahoo.co.uk
stay away from this
CR7 u r retarded. its not decypted, its dumped.
also i think it will be 2.9 or 3.0.
@Josh:
please, shut the hell up….it’s not freakn’ cracked or anything! We’ve done the same damn thing with every firmware in existence right now. So no downgrader yet, there has to be a hole in security for that to happen. There’s no hole here, just a dump.
This brickd!!!! my psp!!!
@Ryan:
how in god’s name did u brick ur PSP, this does not write to ur PSP’s flash, it dumps the firmware from the DATA.PSAR u put in the root of the memory stick.
Try recharging ur battery…….dear god man think!
yay go GmDude66, i actually know this person
i have a question: if everyone keeps finding firmware dumps and such, why cant anyone create a pc emulator for the psp ??
i mean… a psp emulator for the pc?
@batmanishguy:
First off, a dump is not the same as a security hole. All these dumps are, is taking the files from the update that it writes to the flash disk. We can dump those files, but we haven’t created a file that can run on the computer, those files alone does not make a emulator…………
learn something…….
wtf does this thing do!!!!! will i still have 2:80 fw. or what……will it take out the trash or what,,, maybe something useful………
@supursmartman:
to put it simply….the updaters for the PSP has all the files that it installs on the flash disk, so wut this does, is takes those files and puts them on ur memory stick……
to answer the “will i still have 2.80fw” yes, it won’t remove it or anything, this is strictly for ppl on 1.5fw. anything higher is a no go.
This dont work for me?:P
To jd05nj:
“when i go 2 start the devhook firmware installer on my psp it says that the data is corrupted and it cannot start…how do i make it work???” You are the biggest noob I have ever seen! Everybody knows you have to have 1.00 or 1.50 to do it like that!
@JohnnyC:
Wut part of illegal acts that can result in years in prison are u not fucking getting, u prick
Can “Reboot.bin” be taken out of FW2.8?
@MOD:
i’m guessing it’s being worked on right now, but this doesn’t take it out, and u can’t use the “reboot.bin” from the other firmwares, believe me, i’ve tried ;)
can somebody help me i cant find a ms0: folder in my memory stick what do i do?
i cant find a ms0folder in my psp what do i do?
@malcom:
u know how ur computers harddrive is set up? like C:\ is saying that ur Harddrive is listed as C:\?
Well the PSP is nearly the same way, only diff is that the memory stick is listed as ms0:\ so basically, u know how u put music and photos on, that wuld basically be set up like this “ms0:\PSP\MUSIC” and “ms0:\PSP\PHOTO” so wut they’re saying to do here is right next to that “PSP” folder make another folder named “dh” and in that folder make another folder named “280″ so it’s like they say it’s “ms0:\dh\280″
hope it helps ;)
thanks ill try it
can someone please help me…i created the dh folder and then created the 280 folder in the dh folder then i put the two folders that came wit da 280 firmware dump in the game folder then i extracted the 280 upgrade and put the data.psar in the mp_root….and it still dont work….what do i do?
@malcom:
when u say, u put it in the mp_root, u mostlikely made another folder named “mp_root” or put it in with ur movie folders.
Going by wut i told u last time, it should be set up like this for the entire thing to work
THE DUMPER:
u put both the folders with EBOOT.PBP in them in here
“ms0:\PSP\GAME”
THE DUMP PREPARATION:
u set up the foldders for the dump like this
“ms0:\dh\280″
*that’s all for the dump, it will create the rest*
WHERE TO PUT THE DATA.PSAR
when they say the root of the memorystick, they meen what u see when u see clik on ur PSP in MY Computer, so it goes like this
“ms0:\DATA.PSAR”
so when i put my usb in the computer and i go to removeable disk f:/ drag it in there?… …..and also do i create a dh folder where it says psp and mp_root?
and also when i go to my computer it says removeable disk…then i click it…then these folders come up…psp,mp_root,video,picture,and music does urs have dis?
Ok, first off, for your pics and music to work, they must be in the PSP folder, mine has:
PSP
MP_ROOT
dh
*these next 2 don’t concern you, for GTA and mi single ISO*
CHEAT
ISO
secondly, after using all this time with me, i’m hopping that ur on a v1.5 PSP
Thirdly, yes, a folder should be created named “dh”, and inside that “dh” folder, make another named “280″ for the firmware; next to the PSP and MP_ROOT folders, that is considered the “root of the memorystick”
Fourthly (wow): yes, u just drag it there and and run the thing in the PSP and it will dump all but one file, the one file that actually has to be decrypted
if u got 1.50 why do u need to have a 2.80 dump?
could u tell me a video encoder that encodes to mp4?
@malcolm:
because:
1) 1.5 is needed because it has security holes that allow things like this to be run…..
2) we can use it to emulate in DevHook…this is not ready yet to, one file needs to be decrypted
a good video encoder is PSPVideo 9
thanks
@malcolm:
I trust u got it working then? ;)
can somebody help how do u put a game from ur computer on a 2.80?
@malcom:
u don’t
the firmware on ur PSP is 2.80? then this website has no use to you what so ever
For the beginners this isent for frimeware 2.80
this is for 1.5 to emulate frimeware 2,80 srry for bad eng :_P
um im a noob so dis might sound dumb but where is dh in ur mem stik and where is da root is dat MP_ROOT so if u got da heart to help a brotha out leave a mesage or better yet email me at d_platinum23@yahoo.com
OMG!!! somebody please help me.
i wan tto be able to download umd onto memory card.
please help. EMAil me: cyberhacker1313@aol.com
