Successful TA-082 Downgrade!
greg | August 21, 2006
0okm has apparently done it again… This time successfully downgrading a 2.50 PSP with the dreaded TA-082 motherboard. As known the folks less fortunate with this particular motherboard version are left unable to downgrade and experience the glorious homebrew wonders which 1.50 provides. But not anymore! Well, actually… not quite yet… Nothing is publicly available yet as this hack is quite complex and involves some trickery; as 0okm explains in his blog:
Had found a method SoftDown TA-082’s FW2.50 PSP to FW1.00/1.50. But the method is quite complex, SoftDown a TA-082’s PSP need about 45min.
- Use software Read Data From TA-082’s NandFlash & DDR DRam
- Analyzes the Data than make a “FW1.00/1.50 NandFlash img” that can Boot on TA-082
- Use software Write that “FW1.00/1.50 NandFlash img” to TA-082
maybe late i will make a software to let “FW2.50 TA-082″ user to dump “NandFlash & DDR DRam” data to me
than i can make the “FW1.00/1.50 NandFlash img” to help them SoftDown their TA-082 :PNOTE :
- each TA-082 PSP need different “NandFlash img” CAN’T use this “NandFlash img” to OTHER PSP
That will Bricked the PSP !!
so SoftDown each TA-082 PSP DATA need each 45min!- if your FW2.60 TA-082 PSP is Update from FW2.50 this method can work for your PSP
- this method not work for Factory FW2.60 TA-082 PSP maybe later it can :P
Hope is on your side TA-082 owners! I’m sure there’s more to come – so stay tuned and lets see what happens!

W00t!!!!!!!!! lol
cool.
#3 coooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Oh…god YES
“Sob…” I think I’m about to burst some tears. This is so beautiful. “Sniff.. !” I’m so happy :’~D. Great job 0okm
OMG! FinallY we are all pirates now!
got to say i am a 1.5 owner myself but this is fantastic news for the other guys well done 0okm……………..
to all thoose unlucky ta-082 owners let me say welcome to 1.5
even more 1.5 users. expand the homebrew comunity.
Damn, that is complicated! Hope he figures out a way to make it easier for those people.
great job ookm. dont u juz love him? how does he do it? if i were rich i’ll give him a few mil or sumthing. hahaha. rejoice TA-082 owner and join the party. well i still remember the topic i read b4 i donwgraded my 2.0 to 1.5 at the very bottom it will usually say. “use it wisely”. hahaha so future 1.5 owner. use it wisely.
This is good for my other psp – both 1.5!
Welcome to the brotherhood ta-082s :)
# 6 ure a jackass!!
this is a good week
Finally some good news, Now Ook find a way to downgraded 2.08 I will appreciated since my son updated mine, Little devil!, I was planning to buy another psp, but i’m going to wait a little bit more. You guys rock. if you find a way to downgrade 2.08 i send you $100 dollars, that i promise.
Good to see – have always felt sorry for the TA-082 owners…
^Doody
45min! wow!!! I get the impression downgrading later firmwares is going to be harder, good work man thats something that must have taken an awful lot of time to do…
Great news, im a 1.5 owner but its still great to hear this for ta-082 users, by the way #16, 2.08 downgrader would take a while to make as a whole new exploit has to be discovered and it is more likely hacks in the 2.7 firmware would be discovered first.
it’s 2.8 y’all. 2.8!
– mu
Merci!!!Ookm, mais c’est pour bientôt l’UMD Emulator pour FW2.60 ???Thanks
cool im a 1.5 owner but this is absolutely a good news, im very happy for all of u ta-82 guys :)
#19, maybe he can find the downgrade for 2.7 and 2.80 just like they did with 2.5 and 2.6.
Yes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Ookm !!!!!
You’re really the BEST !!! Continue man !!!!
It’s the best news I’ve read since I’ve bought my PsP!!!!
Thanks man !!! Really Really GREAT Job !!!
my psp is 2.50 and ta-082 haha that means “I’m ready to go”.oh I am so happy, words are meaningless now.thanks 0okm…
good job!! luckily i already have 1.5 , but this is still a good attack on sony :P
does this mean that we can also downgrade factory psp too?
If 2.7 gets hacked, wouldn’t 2.71 and 2.8 get hacked too if the security settings are the same?
Its great to see something like this brings everyone together. Besides comment #14 there was no hate and no one being a dick.
I am a stock 2.0 and i have updated and downgraded MANY times without the fear of the TA’s. I have always felt bad for these guys and worried about my girlfriend getting one but this is great news for everyone. I think sony needs to learn that they CAN NOT beat the homebrew scene :)
Thank you and goodnight.
is he talking in engrish
This is fantastic. I myself am a 1.5 user but thats great. As far as 2.71 and above downgraders I cant say there will never be one but not anytime soon. So the best bet is when this comes out just buy a couple 2.6 psp’s downgrade them and sell it on ebay make a little profit so you can have a 1.5 psp again and not crappy useless 2.80
wow psp-hacks is really late with this one
thanks OOkm!!!!! was waiting for this moment! Love u!!!!!
wow nice job!!!! really complicated tho.
#6, wtf!
This will be cool for ppl who have TA-082. and what about 2.6, 2.7, 2.71, and 2.8?! Sux for them right now. At least I’m going to downgrade on my 2.6 easier tommorrow…
awesome for the TA-082 owners. I bought my PSP only recently (maybe 10 days ago). Found out it was TA-082 and took it right back to the store. Have a non-TA-082 machine that’s doing the 1.5 thing and I couldn’t be happier. 082 owners, you guys are gonna be in shock once you get to this side of the ocean. 1.5 PSP is an amazing experience.
IT’s crazy man! That’s a good news to every TA-082 owner !! Thx a lot !
#37 I totally agree…the experience from upgraded psp’s to 1.5 is trully amazing.
You havent experienced the psp’s true potential until you have 1.5.
wow great job man now all all most all of us could downgrade
Ok now please make a 2.71 downgrader.
well say helow to ta-o83
fish out of water…!

I think sony just lost against the homebrew world. Too bad but there is always psp2. Now we just need to be able to downgrade the newest firmware to own sony.
Always doing the impossible, this is great news!
A 2.71 and 2.8 downgrader might not be that far off since Patrick has already dumped the 2.8 firmware, and 2.71 is available to emulate on DevHook.
I dont have a ta-082, but greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat news still….
awsome! even though i dont have 1. now i can downgrade my cousins psp. gj!
and if U DONT-NO now U-NO
nice one 0okm now tha ta-082 can downgrade an have the benefits of 1.5
cool
LOL OOKM U ARE A GOD AMONG HAKERS MY PSP BROKE ON ME LAST MONTH TOOK IT BACK SINCE IT WAS STILL UDNER WARENTY GOT THE TA 82 ONE WAS POED BOUT IT BUT NOW IM HAPPY AS HELL KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND HURY AND FIND A WAY TO GET THIS TO THE PUBLIC SINCEI DONT HAVE N NE IDEA HOW TO READ THE DATA ON THE PSP NAND CHIP
fuck sony! no matter how hard you try sony, someone is gonna gank your shit! lol
Umm, if you guys try to read his quotes on this article carefully, this is what I understood: O0km says that even though he was able to downgrade his 2.5 TA-082, the catch is the downgrader data has to be unique for every TA-082 out there, which is why it takes 45 mins.; so like for example, if I had a TA then i would have to make a downgrader just for me based on the data on my PSP, so I think 0okm might make a tool so you do that part yourself, instead of requesting him to make the downgrader for you which he is implying that he would for the time being.
if i brick my psp with ta-o82 is ther way bring my unt back to life??????? thanks
a fuk i just upgraded to 2.71 to play madden hopefully they get a downgarder
