2.80 Kernel Mode Exploit Found!
greg | December 21, 2006
Team C+D have shared a wonderful gift for 2.80 owners this holiday season. It’s a few bytes big and wrapped in a proof-of-concept package — *gives it a shake* — you guessed it, a kernel mode exploit! Its been confirmed by many reputable sources and seems to have true potential.
Nothing has developed from it yet; meaning no downgrader or functioning kernel mode apps. But, be patient! Rest assure the true hackers are working their voodoo magic.
The download below is proof-of-concept; only source code. End-users, sit tight — expect to see some progress in the near future. It’s only a matter of time.
Fantastic work Team C+D!

hopefulyl its still good for all the users that updated maybe even 3.00?
Right on!

OMFG!! Finally!! Ive been waiting for something like this for a looooonnnngggg time! Now hopefully, there will be a downgrader popping up soon. Thanks Team C+D!! My Christmas has just gotting a little bit merrier!
Yes! I got my brother a PSP and downgraded his to 1.5 and was having so much fun with it I was really considering selling my 2.8 for what I could get for it and getting a second hand 2.71 or lower PSP. Now, I don’t have to! Keep up the great work guys!
ah yo bluud this dont meen no downgrader peeps
is this zain mohamed ???????
goes unity?
Nah Brah’s. Sorry. And Nitro, god knows what you just said?!
so thos evolves around the TA-081 or 82 ??
If 82 will this alove 82 users to Run cusotm FW or Flashed or are they still forced to use Dev ?
This is great news. Since the Exploit was discovered well beyound 3.*+ coming out. This could mean great hope to crack alot more then 2.8*
is this also for the TA-082?
To the ALL who help with this and ALL!!! the other projects before this THANK YOU AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. $ony AINT $hit compare to your force of knowledge. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahahahahahahahahahaha! The revolution grows! *evil laugh*
it is best surprise on New Year! I will play in all games wich i have with my friends(they has 2.80) without gamesharing! Cool
Insane , while we’re here ,does any one know how to put dh 0.51 on my psp fm 3.01 ???
please help
u cant…
than what can you do
No homebrew at all, only flash games and adventure maker games
Maylot rulez!
I worship all who help us dummies who upgraded to 2.80.

YESSS!!!! i worship yoouuu!!!!! right when i though my holiday can’t get any better… it did
*sob* thank you
Hopefully some hope for 2.81 owners this christmas, another one bytes the dust… …Merry Christmas!!
Great work guys
w00t w00t, this is awesome, few more weeks of waiting [or months] and full kernel mode is here!
bro 2.8 can down grade?
i just brought the 2.8 version cant down great….poor guy
hope good news will come…
How to use?
you do not use this, this is a proof-of-concept
this does nothing for people who currently want to downgrade, this is a tool that shows developers how to access the kernal mode exploit
GOD, I sure wish my brain was usefull for something other holding my cap on, then I would help out the scene
HELL YES!
This could make my xmas…
there you have it you asked us for it and now you got it i hope you like it, from us to you . Njoy guys
Man this rawks!!!, one question though, what do you need to compile C into eboots? i know normal compilers wont work, i just wanna see this proof of concept thing, but dont know how to compile it!!
GOOD WORK GUYS KEEP IT UP!!!
You can get the compiled eboot here http://www.sendspace.com/file/ej6im8
Awesome work.
We are not worthy. Thank you guys, maybe soon my 2.82 will reach its full potential.
Great for all the noobs who updated to 2.8x
Great news! =) Just waiting for sweet homebrew and downgrader. Yahhooo
psp updates had this ages ago a day and a couple of hours psphacks just coppy from psp updates they never get anything first
YEAH!!!!!
me new here ..pls help i brought a psp v2.8 n can downgrade?
not yet, this is a tool which may allow people to make a downgrader, be patient
hell yeah ppl,, you are the man!!! keep up the good work,,, u ppl make my christmas so much better ,,,,keep on the battle with sony!!!!! thanx for everything C+D!!!!!
KEEP UP DA GOOD WORK GENTLEMAN,, U R OUR SALVATION!!!!
bro psp v2.8 can downgrade?
Yes! finally!! soon i’ll hopefully be able to play psp isos!!!!
w00t!! WELL DONE!!!!!
cant wait for the finished product :)
you guys are our hope!!!!!!!
i knew something like this was coming near christmas in my head i was like “mgs po needs 2.81 and i have 2.8….well ill just use kernal mode on christmas”(although nothing was developed from it yet.)
sweet guys. good job. u kno u rnt fighters against sony but work with them to make a sweet product AWESOME. whatever happends now dnt stop. (from Australia and written on a psp) TY
let everyone be reminded this program does not downgrade, its just a proof-of-concept which MAY allow you to downgrade once someone uses the exploit (which this program shows how to access) to make one
TA-082 users can never downgrade below 2.5 or 2.6 without major problems and likely bricking (one of them… i cant remember) (this is due to a differnt motherboard configuration)
Hopefully this’ll work on a 2.81?
I dont belive in this shit!I have waiting for months for this shit and i have upgrade to 2.81 a week ago to play Vice city stories!
i totally did the same thing twice with the 2.6 downdater and the 2.71 downdater, both 1 week before the downdater was released. now im on 2.80 and arent going anywhere but down from here.
I have FW 2.80 and I just bougth a 2GB memory stick. w00t w00t now hopefully I’ll be able to play isos.
This will defenatly be a good christmas, Thank you Team C & D YOU GUYS ARE THE GREATEST!!!
Good job guys keep up the awsome work, hope to see that 2.80 downgrader before 2007 so that we can play iso’s !!!
I’m sorry, I’m VERY new to PSP and this whole hack/homebrew/downgrade discussion..
Does this only mean that you can downgrade your PSP firmware from 2.8 to 1.5, or does it mean that you can use homebrew on your PSP with 2.8 firmware?
this could lead to both
Thanks for your reply! I’ll keep my eyes open for a solution for my TA-082 PSP with 2.71 firmware.
this is the solution… http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/946
My mistake.. and a BIG one it was.
My firmware version is 2.81 and not 2.71.. No one is more disappointed than me.
I take it the kernel exploit was exclusive to 2.80 and not for any later versions. Am I correct. Please tell me I’m wrong.
Yes ITS sooo close now i would love to see the 2.8 downgrader by Christmas. but the eloader is doing fine for me as of right now. Anyways Thanks its great knowing that 2.8 will so be hacked.
hell yeah… i just bought a second-hand PSP running on 2.81, and reading about development, i was expecting such a thing to appear around feb 2007, this is early… and this definitely made my x-mas, can’t wait to go to college and learn me some better programming so i can help with this battle against *them*… ALL HAIL TEAM C+D!!!!!!
have a good one compiling the downgrader… i have patience…
This is great news!!! I hope they get somewhere with it!!
I wish there is miracle! My TA-082 2.81 finally can have chance to play iso game.
no hope yet… ta-082 wont be able to downgrade
Yo, this is great! Well, guys there is one thing I wanna know is homebrew illegal?
…no unless your useing iso’s or playing emulated games that you don’t own
isos are legal if you back up your own game
roms are legal if you own the original game or delete it within 24 hours of download
emulators are legal- however some require a BIOS file that is illegal to distribute over the internet (yet its still done)
the thing is you likely wont get in major trouble for downloading a game or two- just downloading many or distributing them to others is what gets people in trouble
hello every person here with a 2.81 psp.
Its a 2.80 exploit, not a 2.81. dont get your hopes up 2 much.
oh well it will still give us 2.81 users hope
OOOOHHHHHHWEEE!!!!
THAT’S UNBELIEVABLE! HEY, 2.80-USER! WELCOME TO 1-50-WORLD (NOT YET)! ^^
whats kernal mode
2.82 SE-A here we come!! ;-)
kernal mode is a downgrade
Hell Yeah! ^_^ Finally….
1.5->2.0->1.5->2.70->2.80->????
My PSP is saved again xD I can run kernal mode homebrew again……no more laggy USER MODE limited stuff
what is this i just bought a psp???
yeah this is sweeet now we 2.81 users have some hope can u use a modchip on 2.81
sorry buddy, its 2.80 ONLY….but they did say that they may be able to get it upto 3.03 so there is still alittle hope.
nice work!
merry xmas! *
This is old news, i knew about this yesterday.
YES!!! this has made my xmas!! great work teamd c+d!!! i hope sum1 takes advantage of this and makes us 2.80 users a downgrader or SE so we can play ISO’s PLEASE!!!!
i was thinking of upgrading my version 1.0 psp to 3.0 so that it works with my ps3. is this a good idea? i don’t pay for psp games i illegally download them.
no, if ur gonna upgrade then goto 1.5 or 2.71 se-c, the use devhook to emulate 3.02 (or 3.03 when it’s updated) :)
OH CRAP I HOPE THIS MEANS I WILL SOON BE ABLE TO DOWNGRADE MY FRIENDS PSP!
I also hope the downgrader comes out before xmas i wanna play my iso’s. I hate 2.80
is this going to work on 2.81 psp or does the update piss on that filmware too?
wwwwwoooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
lol been waitin 4 ages jus hope da full working thing kums out soon now gud job guys
shithead
were can i get this in zip form
yes finally something for the v2.8 user im sooooo happy now about the downgrader i hope it comes out before 2007 ” there is that little chance”
Keep up the good work
does anyone know when 2.81 downgrader will come out? or is it still just over yhe horizon
YES! i KNEW I STAYED AT 2.80 FOR A REASON. THIS IS GREAT NEW FOR ALL OF US.
fuck this, i’m going to 3.03. they’ll be real h4×0r if they can do that shit; no n00bzorz down-dating from 2.84. n00baliation.
You’re a fool if you update to 3.03 right before a downgrader for 2.80 is released. Sit tight, you impatient little monkey.
Bunch of TARDS I SWEAR, this isn’t a DOWNGRADER, it’s KERNEL mode, do a bit of reasearch will ya? Just means it’s an exploit that allows this version of firmware to be manipulated in ways it COULDN’T before which MAY lead to homebrew, and/or a downgrader. It doesn’t mean you can now go 2.80 –> 1.50.
I swear the general public was brought up on a steady diet of crunchy paint chips -.-
“Just means it’s an exploit that allows this version of firmware to be manipulated in ways it COULDN’T before which MAY lead to homebrew, and/or a downgrader.”
Actually, there is already homebrew lol.
well, I agree with the paint chip comment :P
well better than nothing just got to wait
i was smart enough to wait til suttin like
but not smart enough when i upgraded it :(
it looks like there very well might be a downgrader I can’t be positive but it looks promising. So I say this once you get your 1.5 back or 2.71 custom don’t upgrade your psp’s unless you don’t care about iso’s and homebrew and some bitching emulators like neo geo and capcom sytems. Having said that even if you have 2.82 or 3.0 I say still don’t update unless u have to they’re even talking about a possible exploit for 3.0 firmware
DONT yALL with 2.8 use the E lOader it works great
The only thing you cant do is Iso loading
1.5 has the best homebrew compatability other than maybe 1.0
inb4darkalexreleasesadowngrader
NNOOOOO!!!!
i just upgraded to 3.0!!!
me too!! life sucks
too bad for u guys i got 4 psps ^^ 1 bricked wen i tried using a downgrader for 2.00 way back bfore all these downgraders…(then i read that if i turn off the psp at 75% i could get the “embedded browser” being me i did this n bricked 1 of only psp….) 2 one ibought from this kid jus to play music on my field trip( i bought the psp but he kept his stuff a battery, back, n the sticker was off, and also the charger…. got home is doesnt work the screen is cracked and doesnt work) 3rd one the psp was got for free and downgraded 4th i bought from this kid for 100 bones and DOWNGRADED ^^ both custom and 1.5 ^^>>>> The Final cost 370 bones and thats not the end motherboard from broke on ebay and bricked for up modchip soon… keep up the good work people
nice one you haxxors!!! keep it up!
man i wish
the ta-082 was downgradable to 1.50
i just wish there was a master hacker out there u no? tht way anyones psp’s like mine, could be hacked. ( i was a dumb ass to upgrade FUCKIN YESTERDAY to 3.03 )
oh i know that feeling i upgraded to 2.8 like the day before they hacked 2.71, buy now i have 2.8 i just can’t wait for the downgrader hopefully itll come out soon, maybe
noooo!!!! why did i upgrade!!!!!
what does kernal mode mean?? what does kernal mode mean?? what does kernal mode mean?? what does kernal mode mean?? please tell me
It means that it’s finger licking good.
could you play homebrew on it
yes you can play homebrew on 2.80.
not 2.81, 2.82, 3.00, 3.01, 3.02, or 3.03
Kernel mode apps are much better than user mode apps. like being able to use the ir port on the psp, and downgrading.
so does this mean i can use stuff like devhook or
ir shell or psp rhythm?
btw im on 2.80 and modded my gameboot XD
Bottom buck that they will release the downdater on christmas day. Hey everyone, checkout this kickass free video- http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=786048453686176230&q=terrorstorm
Ooooohhhhhhhhhhh Yeeeeaaaaaahhhh!
hey everyone I was wondering if they could jest add the sourse code released here to any of the homebrew apps sourse code like daxziso and it would work?
Thanks,Alex
its not that simple
the programs like that need to be built around the exploit
they arent right now- and they need to be redone and rigorously tested for them to be re-released
what do i do with rar folders? and
its useless downloading this. you should wait tell a downgrader comes out and u have to extract the rar file using winrar [downloaded it from google ]
if you downloaded this and arent a programmer, delete it
this is for programmers to learn to make use of the kernal exploit, it is not for the normal homebrew user
I THINK IS VERY GOOD , BECAUSE THE HOMEBREW IS AMAZING BUT WE MUST KEEP BUYING THE GOOD GAMES (LIKE METAL GEAR) ON ORIGINAL JUST THINK ABOUT IT IF WE DONT BUY FOR AT LEAST 1 GAME EVERY 4 MONTHS THE PSP IS GOING TO BE FUC.KED … ANYWAY GREAT WORK AND KEEP IT UP (BUY A WII AND THE POWERFUL PS3 THE XBOX IS A SH.IT!!!!)
This is good. nd a downgrader will come in about a week. dark alex boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooobobobobo I am a beter hacker than you.
When can we expect the downgrader? Hope before xmas, it would be the best gift ever !
Good work guys, your showing sony a thing or 2
yes! I cant wait till the hackers do there thang and make a down-grader :D been waiting for so long :’(
theres a downgrader now.unstable tho.check pspupdates..
thanks Don will have a look
Whats wrong with you man?? just upgrade to 3.03 then downgrade from there… why u waiting for a sepcific 2.80 downgrader?????? dyam arse pickny noobs!! no dyam sense!!
