Update Flasher for 2.71 Released
greg | October 5, 2006
Update: Here’s another simplicity package from Zephyrus. It contains HEN C, the 2.71 Update Flasher, and an official 1.50 FW EBOOT update; all bundled together in one package. Instructions are included for the newest of newbs.

Dark_AleX delivers yet another swift kick to Sony’s jimmy… That’s right, read ‘em and weep — a generic 2.71 downgrader!
What differentiates this downgrader from the others? Well, if you use Homebrew Enabler (Revision C) and FW 2.71 you’re now able to downgrade to any firmware version you see fit: 1.50-2.60. And, better yet! TA-082 owners can easily downgrade/upgrade between firmware 2.50 and 2.71. I also won’t fail to mention FW dumps are unnecessary; only the EBOOT.PBP update is required.
From the Readme.txt:
This tool enables a 2.71 running HEN C to downgrade to any version from 1.50-2.70 or to reflash the own 2.71.
Theoretically, TA-082 users could downgrade to 2.70/2.60/2.50.
This downgrader is safer, faster, and a lot easier to use than the previous downgraders. It also makes a clean firmware install, since this time there is a format of flash0 (just like sce updaters do).
WARNING TA-082 users: DO NOT attempt downgrading below 2.50. Use at your own risk!

keep workin the magic!
OMFG
0okm, your work has been changed to a shit.
How pitiful… but I respect your skill
anyway it’s reallyy good to hear that ta082 user can load too!
Thanks dark!
wow! awesome release. D_A ownz :)
wow , this is awesome news for the ta082 users!
great job
hey people can anyone who has ta-082 fw2.5 has successfully downgraded to below 2.50?
the note says ‘do not attempt to below 2.50′
I’m so afraid to do so. so anyone who did, share your story plz!
It’s great news for Homebrew… but for ISO loading… would you want to downgrade? Especially, since 2.71 with HEN C you can load ISOs.
thats cool i guess. im totally good with 2.71….with all the stuff happening it seems there is no need to downgrade any more…as a Ta082 user whats the need for me to go from 2.5-2.71-2.5? now it seems 2.71 is better than 2.5 and gaining some serious ground on 1.5…peace
#8. Exactly what I was getting at being a TA082 user too.
If you have 2.71 TA-082 why would you downgrade to 2.5 if only 2.71 can emulate 1.50? o_0
I have a 2.71 TA-082… I just need a TA-082 downgrader to 1.50
Wow, this is great user, although I am a 1.50 uesr, this is great for the 2.71s of you and the TA-082 users!
@10
There is a 2.71 reverse devhook to emulate 1.5 on 2.71 from dark_alex again i think
Awsome hope 0okom and alex can make us ta-082 1.5 users soon :P good job
#8. OOkum’s downgrade goes to 1.5, this onyl goes to 2.5, get your facts straight.
1.5 > 2.5 duh
Nice Work! :)
So what we’re saying here is that ppl can downgrade with thier TA-082 to 2.5,and then use Ookm’s downgrader? That IS cool, but I’ll wait for a more stable way to downgrade to 1.5 with my friends PSP…
This is still a pretty seet release
With Ookum’s downgrader and DA’s, all TA-082 users can bask in the glow of 1.5, as the PSP was always meant to be!
lol wtf gaining ground on 1.5? #8 do you even read the shyt you type before submitting it? yea its unfortunate that you have a ta-82 or w/e it is, i have no idea cause i don’t. but…..as much as
okay nm what i was genna say cause i caught myself in realizing it would have made no sense and i simply would have accomplished nothing but making an ass out of myself. cause now that devhook is ported over to the 2.71 its true that 2.71 will soon have all the capabilitys that 1.5 does just as soon as they get it to be able to use any and all homebrews on 2.71 (prx or not) so really it makes no diffrence to try to compare anything to anything, because its just a matter of who needs what.
if i have a 1.5 i can say 1.5 kicks ass, but if im a ta-82 2.71 user ima load up devhook and get the same kind of iso usage as any of the 1.5’s get.
so to all the people sitting here wasting typing shyt shit and arguing on which is the better fw FOOKING STOP IT cause it does nothing but waste time.
in a short period of time both fw’s are going to be just as easyily “godly” or “ownage” or whatever other fooking words you wanna use. lets just stop all the useless baligerant spamming that goes on on every other post right here and right now.
#18 - you can sure babble.. you are the one wasting time
you know what, no what i just said is not true and i was right to say what i was going to in the first place, 2.71 will never take 1.5, on the basic idea of simplicity.
if i have 1.5 emulating 2.71 than all the iso games i have will work pretty much right off of the dl finishing, but something im sure alot of people are overlooking and i did too till right now when i had a flashback of the pain in the ass it was to get games to work is that whether or not you get iso loading from emulated 1.5 doesnt make a diffrence. because how the hell is anyone going to be able to incorperate any of the prx files (needed by all the old school loaders) to flush with the dumped 1.5 files? thats fooking rediculous and alot of meangless work. so like i was genna say before…2.71 will never replace 1.5 or even really compare as an equal to it. DARK ALEX is doing some really nice work with 2.71 that im keeping an eye on very closey waiting for the day that he says he has programmed full homebrew support on 2.71. at that point as godly as 1.5 no one will ever have to see its face again… well beside having to reboot to add more dumped fw’s to the devhook interface. at that point emulated 2.71 will not only carry the capability of playing any and pretty much all isos, but also remove the step of having to reboot to 1.5 whenever i feel like playing a little of the old school classics, as well as being able to load and play the new in development ps1/psx emulator. so really once dark alex finishes his little project right now, THATS IT devhook emulation for 1.5 will take the scene for a very obsurdly long time.
Im a 2.71 Emulating 1.5 Using DH..
I see no point as of right now to Downgrade to 2.5/./ i thing i want to know is can we use that 2.5 downgrader after we make it to 2.5 on a Ta-082..
If we can do that i might try as 1.5 is teh psp shITZ>>>
they say you can, but its not a very cut and dry option, people have suggested waiting for someone to clean up the dg process on ta-082 boards before actually trying anything.
i want to downgrade mine but have tried and i think im doing something wrong. im not PSP savvy so i think i can use a more detailed explaination on how to do the downgrade on my psp.
refere back to post #16. there are a few 2.5 dg’s available for use but none of which are exclusivly designed for ta-082 boards, so its up to you.
#23 here is not the place to ask for help, try looking in the psp-hacks forums they have alot of tut’s available for all versions of fw’s, unless you have a ta-082 as well dg’ing is pretty much fool proof at this point unless you have a fake dg’er
ok, now just 2 months til we have a 2.8 downgrader and 1 month till 12-year-old noobs start complaining about not having a 2.9 downgrader
Dark Alex is such a 1337 h4xx0r! He’s awesome! Good job dude. Keep it up. hopefully…we’ll have a 2.81 downgrader soon. :)
Hey! I tried this one out.. Extrakted the files to the MCroot and downloaded the 1.5 EBOOT and renamed it to UPDATED.PBP and put it in the psp/games/update folder..
All it does is to mount it and then a black screen appears and it reboots itselfe..
When i look in the system info it still says 2.71!..
Is this right?
FUCK YEAUH
yes the swearing is neeeded to fully express my feelings for Dark_AleX
GOOD JOB MAN
no one can do it bettuh
@ everyone saying there is no point for ta-082 user to downgrade to 2.5:
the main purpose of this downgrader is to allow non ta-082 2.71 users to downgrade to 1.5 easily without hassle and problems. the extra ta-082 2.71 to 2.5 is just a proof of concept.

From 2.71 to 1.5 im now a proud owner of a 1.5 PSP!!
LOVE YOU Dark_AleX!!!!
Great work dark alex, any way to annoy Sony is a good thing!!
Just wondering if anyone running 1.50 has upgraded to 2.71 to use hen c ?
Are there more benifits using this hen c than running plain old 1.50?
“yay, 1st post” comments, or variations of, receive a permanent ban.
WOW lmao
how do can u play isos on a ta-032 2.71 verson? i have a 2.6 version
nice one big up the psp’s ^^ keep up the good work
you know whats FUCKED up? if ookms thing was still goin EVRRY TA802 user can friggin downgrade to 1.5 because of this!!
why? because they can downgrade to 2.50 and 2.50 and down grade to 1.5 how handy this couldve been!
ok will someone give dark_alex a freaking medal.
keep it up a lil more and we can just call him the god of psp’s
I installed the HomeBrew Enabler for 2.71 successfully. When I run DevHook Launcher Port to v.2.71 (with support of flash), it can be run to show the setting screen for the first time only. When I have chosen the ISO game and then click START. PSP says “Cannot start the game”. And I can never go back to the DevHook setting screen…….
How can I run ISO games?? Do I need to run the HENC folder in PHOTO everytime I switch on PSP after switched off? But then even I run HENC, it clashes and automatically switched off my PSP. What’s the problem for it? THanks!!~
dude nice! but just one thing,
2.71 is already able to emulate 1.50 through devhook so isn’t this kinda usless? Ookm stopped downgrading ta-082 2.50 psps cuz he’s a whiner.
@6
the motherboard has a built in restriction for running fw less than 2.5 so if you try and downgrade below 2.5 you will surely brick. It’s might be good to downgrade to 2.5 and then try to see if Ookm will give you the image dump required for downgrading 2.5 to 1.5.

Oh sorry, having a childish moment. (one of many)
This downgrader rocks. I’m not sure I’d ever need it, but it’s pretty cool!
I don’t blame Ookm for stopping the project either.
Bunch of ungrateful ingrates have to ruin it for everyone.
@jgkilla: emulation is always emulation.. there are always restrictions on emulated firmwares or at least they crashes or don’t work sometimes.. having a 1.5 is nonetheless best for everyone as of now. until 2.71 can fully ultilise every single homebrew like 1.5, 1.5 is still the golden firmware and 2.71 is standing right beside it. as for 2.80 users, i guess it’s just your waiting period. i’m sure once Dark_AleX completes his work, he’ll try to work on 2.80 and see if he can make a downgrader for 2.8 to 2.71 or even more. ^_^
@ #28: are you sure you’re doing the right thing? i think you better get my pack. i made a pack which bundles in HEN C for personal use, but i don’t mind to share with everyone who has troubles using this downgrader. also, for people who are still confused, ta-082 cannot downgrade below 2.5, but it can go up and down between 2.5-2.71..
#28, here:

What we need is DH support for 2.81, But congrats on the proof of concept
i have a question and please answer me. i’ve downloaded ghost-packs for the tekken dark resurrection and i can’t unpack it on the pc it’s a arc-data, so can anyone tell me where i can get the software for free, please help me!
well can someone make a tutorial for this???
still confused abt motherboards…
also i already have a hen_b and devhook on my v2.71! so what do i have to do?
thanks for any helps
@jimmy: sorry, i don’t think i can answer that, and it’s pretty unrelated to this topic/post, so please ask in some off topic forums..
@taekwondokid: are you using a TA-082 PSP? open up your UMD and check if you have any IC1003 printed on it. if it doesn’t you can use this downgrader, and if it does, meaning you can only downgrade up to 2.50 which is just a proof of concept right now (dont downgrade anyway if your’s a TA-082 lol).. and HEN_B is already outdated. go get my pack at the HEN_C post. ^^
could any1 tell me wat ta-082 is and wen a fw2.80 dwngrader wll b available
This might be splitting hairs but I don’t think this downgrade to 2.5 will be very useful for TA-82′ers, even if Ookm was still offering to help people because I believe his downgrade required the unit to be a factory 2.5 in the first place. From what I’ve seen the majority of TA-82’s are factory 2.6 and up.
Still, it’s very encouraging news and with the huge disappointment earlier this week from Ookm (though I don’t blame him for bailing under the circumstances) this softens the blow a lot.
In short, a lot of thanks to DA for his hard work.
is there a chance of getting your psp bricked????
(i am not using a ta-082 motherboard)
well i dont have a # on the right side of my UMD…
but i cant read the # on the left side…
(and yeah thanks i saw that website)
so my psp’s motherboard is not a TA-082 right?
if its not a TA-082 i will just format my psp and copy the updateflasher271-full(all files inside) to my psp…
yeah i can read the # on the left side…
it is wrote upside down..
and its IC6001 (and beside my psp is “PSP1001″(the bar code on the bottom)
so yeah i will go and downgrade.. but i am afraid that i will get my psp bricked…(cuz my warranty is over and i live in europe and using USA version psp)
so i want to know how big is the chace that you will get your psp bricked? and did anyone get a bricked psp from this downgrade???
thanks for any helps…..
@harry: a ta-082 = a motherboard’s model.. it’s not necessarily a ta-082, can be 083 084.. but every single psp that has ta-082 and above will have an IC1003 printed on the PSP which can be checked behind your UMD drive. pic below, and pls dont ask stupid questions like “can sum1 tell me when a 2.8dg will come” and stuff.. it won’t come that quickly.. so stop asking and wait patiently.. gosh..
check whether if it’s a TA-082+ with this:
http://pspupdates.qj.net/uploads/
articles_module/68297/0okm_ta082.jpg
A good method of checking this would be turning your PSP upside down, open up the UMD drive, and look at the sides under proper lighting. ^_^
@Rob.ocelot: yep, you’re right, most PSPs are 2.6 factory because only jap. sets have 2.50 factories.. so yeah..
@taekwondokid: yep, check again properly, if it doesn’t have anything on either sides, follow the instructions in my pack, and run the patch with HEN_C, then when it reboots (open up the UMD drive when it reboots so that it wont auto-boot the UMD inside), and use the downgrader. it’s recommended that you have 50%-full batt power and plug the ac adapter in. ^_^ good luck!
well did anyone get their psp bricked from this downgrader???(just want to backup my risk)
cuz i am still afraid that my psp will be bricked….
wtf… the comments are fuck up again
dont downgrade.. you’ll brick cuz you have a ta-082
lol i dont have a TA-082!
Nice, now 2.71 TA-082 users can downgrade their 2.71’s to 2.5’s and then use 0okm’s Soft downgrader to hit 1.50! Congrats TA-082 users, have fun! :)
Just to let you all know i just downgraded my 1.71 to 1.5 without any problems using this flasher I have a IC6001, I did worry when it said it had erased flash0 but all went well BIG BIG thanks to DA you are the best.
lol yes this would be good fo ur ta 82s ers if ookm was still doing the soft down but soem idit messit up for us and now we dont have that plesure only reson id use this is to play gta with the cheats
aww yea Dark_AleX does again, your a genius man so much better than that retard 0okm. This is real inovation here and umm ade2626 did you mean 2.71??
oh and just to clear up 0okm never stopped anything, b/c he never made anything, like there is not proof the it was ever made cuz no one got it, and well if you look at the situation it was almost like someone got way to close to the truth and he went shit they are gonna find out, so he said “im stopping now”. just like in the court system if there is not proof of it happening it never happend, and in this case 0okm never proved anything, he was just all bark and no bite, what a dick
@taekwondokid: quotes “yeah i can read the # on the left side… it is wrote upside down.. and its IC6001 (and beside my psp is “PSP1001″(the bar code on the bottom)”.. if you saw that.. it means you have a ta-082..
62 lol, sorry yes 2.71 thanks
@zephytus if you saw that.. it means you have a ta-082..
really??? cuz ppl are saying that if u have the # on the right side that means that u have a ta-082 motherboard…
@ade2626: was your PSP a TA-082? Because if it is, it means this downgrader supports ta-082.. because IC1003 = TA-082 and above.. which the dg only supports up to downgrading 2.5.. There’s nothing called “IC6001″.. only IC1003. refer to pic below:
http://pspupdates.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/68297/0okm_ta082.jpg
@taekwondokid: no.. where did you hear that from.. i just told u to check the pic.. because with IC1003.. you have a TA-082.. if you don’t believe me, try downgrading.. and you’ll most probably end up with a brick..
no man i have IC1006 not …1003!!!!
and i am sure that no # is on the right side….
so u are saying that if i have a # on my psp’s umd it means that i have TA-082 motherboard?
@Zephyrus, My psp had IC6001 printed in the top left hand corner of the pcp looking from the back. I checked the harware section ‘psp board model’ sorry couldn’t post a link for some reeason!
http://psp.about.com/od/homebrew/ig/TA-082-Motherboard-Tutorial/TA-082-code-diagram.htm
eveything is here…
this shows that i dont have a TA-082 motherboard!!!!
i only have the # on the left side(which is blue on the pic)
@taekwondokid: wtf.. i’m not talking about the UMD.. i’m talking about the UMD drive.. would you just refer to the pic link I just posted.. gosh..
@taekwondokid: sorry, my bad. yeah you can go ahead and downgrade without any worries now, lol.
@ade2626: okay, now i know IC6001 ain’t ta-082, heh.. sorry for the confusion.. i guess i’m still not that good with hardware. =D i’m pretty okay with software though. =D
yeah @Zephyrus
no problem man w are humans we all make mistakes…
and a clean pic… for TA motherboards
http://z.about.com/d/psp/1/0/9/1/-/-/pspboardphoto.jpg
No probs Zephyrus… Good luck taekwondokid, grit those teeth when you press X to continue with flash.
Heh, so IC6001 = ta-081 motherboards. I’ll keep this in mind. I mistook you guys when you said “I’ve got a IC6001″ (I thought you guys had a typo or something), so I really have to extend my apologies. =D
no prob. man
@taekwondokid: have you downgraded? ^_^ by the way, you posted the link of my file on PSPU, lol.. I just saw your post after I posted. xD
@ zephyrus. no dude not yet
tomorrow cuz its night here…
and sorry man :P lol
wow u guys r good. u were the ones who told us tht there was no possible chance for downgrading 2.70 or higher! i cant wait for u guys to come out with a downgrade for 2.80! i have it and PLEASE help me out!!!!!!!
hahahah i saw the guy who runs this site on that gay call for help show on foxtell and he is such a faggot, he belonged on the comedy channel sine he was so nerdy i just laughed at that pathetic fuck, showing how to put some NES emu on the psp thinking it was a great accomplishment maybe if he codded the emu and put it on it would be but your just a typical nerd friggin pathetic
how do you know it was the guy that runs this site, i think you are just trying to be a retard flamer and you are just hoping for an arugement. your an idiot lol.
Now that we have 1.5, now what?
