I wonder how to differentiate between TA-079, TA-080, and TA-081? Anyone please respond coz i want to downgrade my 2.8 psp.
Germans (and others) can look at http://www.portable-news.de/ for an easy installer and an informative thread…
i have a 2.81 on a TA-81 can i downgrade
Umm…..you are joking right?
no man its only for v2.8 just read the dame thing it says its a downgrader for v2.8
No you phucktard, bastard, READ you fag, it says ONLY FOR 2.80! PERIOD!. Damn, even the post said DON’T ASK! Damn.
these words are CONFUSING!!!! omg! why wont this stuff be a little bit easier to understand so i can downgrade my psp correctly.
i swapped my 2.80 psp for a 2.60 last month i suppose i could of waited but o well
there’s alos a video-tutorial at http://youtube.com/watch?v=48p4JFHICbQ
thank u god
and 0okm
did this work on any psps please tell me im kind of scared to do this. and also i saw the video above on youtube and the title of it said it was a fake 2.8 downgrader whats up with that.
Don’t worry. We are the same kind of people. When there was this 2.6 Downgrader, I just bought my non-TA-082 Motherboard Type PSP, which was 2.6, and my first time touching homebrews, I was really scared too. But then, I said, “It would just work, if it didn’t, it is my fault to ban myself from playing PSP forever, all I have to do is to follow the instructions”, and it worked. It was a bit spooky to find your PSP to become a 1.5, but, you can enjoy all you can homebrew. Believe me, our idolized non-official developers will not play tricks on us. That is all. Hope you would build up courage to do what I had experienced before. Good luck. Add me if you want: louisbais@hotmail.com .
omg this rocks!
i wish i could downgrade but i have no idea wat it talks about
i hope a ez downgrader comes out
Alot of people have bricked using this so far…
AHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA finally
We have just received word from multiple sources that the downgrader, in its current state, bricks PSPs. Do not use it on your PSP under any circumstances. While it seems to be a problem with the IPL dumper, we’re currently not sure about it. We don’t know if the problem is a minor one, or something to be worried about.
At last count, we had confirmed at least 4-5 bricked PSPs. So, to prevent further damage, please spread the word. This will take a while to get fixed. DO NOT USE THIS DOWNGRADER JUST YET. IT LOOKS LIKE A BRICKER FOR NOW. Do not go to any other site and try to download it.”
Is this true????
“we had confirmed at least 4-5 bricked PSPs” - That’s not really a confirmation is it? “Erm we’ve confirmed something but we’re not sure”
:P
I don’t understand the last bit, whats xLoader. Waiting for better instructions.
you can get the xLoader thing hear http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/904
WTF THIS FUCKIN’ BRICKED MY PSP
MUHAHAHAH u lamer …..
wow, just 8 minutes to get the best fireware…. lol and it says above the video>> Use at OUR own risk
I recommend you should not use this downgrader at the current time. The brick percentage is too high o_O
point taken
I have just try this a it works, was a little scared at first but i was just like fukc it. instructions are a bit confusing but read carefully and u shouldnt have any problems.
where can you find the FW150_ipl.bin file
I agree don’t download it until it comes out with a easyer downgrader. Do you git the FW150_ipl.bin file from your 2.80 flash0 or if not where can you find the file.
Hey people u know 2.81 will it work?
no, it says its for 2.8 noob.
yes it works for 2.81 just read the tittle!!!!
No it dont dude. NOT FOR 2.81.
I have successfully downgraded my PSP 2.80 to 1.50. Hear are the step by step working
tutorial to downgrade 2.80 to 1.50 (Use at you own risk and good luck):
For 1.50 Firmware User:
1)Download “FW280DownDate4TA-079″ and extract “__SCE__FW150_ipl” and “%__SCE__FW150_ipl” in “FW150IPL_Dumper” folder to ms0:>PSP>GAME>(put here)
2)Download “FW1.50 File” from this site downdater_final.rar or there is a download link in ookm’s blog.
3)Extract downdater_final.rar>DOWNDATER/(everything) to root ms0:>DOWNDATER>(everything here).
4)Run “FW1.50 ipl” from your PSP Game menu under Memory Stick. It will create the critical file called “FW150_ipl.bin” in ms0:>DOWNDATER>PRX>(created here). Pls check to double confirm the bin file is in there.
5)Pass the “FW150_ipl.bin” to 2.80 user.
For 2.80 Firmware user:
Make sure your battery is fully charged and with the power cable on attached to the psp.
1)Download “FW1.50 File” from this site downdater_final.rar or there is a download link in ookm’s blog.
2)Use the PSP to format memory stick first.
3)Put the “DOWNDATER” folder to the root of MS. Wait for 1.50 user to pass you the
“FW150_ipl.bin” file and put it in ms0:>DOWNDATER>PRX>(put the file here together with other 7 prx files).
4)Download “eLoader v0.995 “Kriek” (Windows Installer)” or the manual install one from this site.
5)Window Installer: Connect your PSP to the computer. Run the “eloaderv0995.exe”. Follow the installer instruction to dump all the necessary files into the memory stick. Select “GTA version” during the installation process just to play safe (if you would feel safe by doing so). Make sure the installation directory is the ms0 (E: in my case) then click Install. Wait till it finish and exit.
6)Disconnect the USB. Reboot the PSP (not light restart),then go to PHOTO and choose “xLoader 280″ (DO NOT USE eLoader 0995 ! - it will brick your PSP). Do not click the “xLoader 280″ but INSTEAD press the PSP triangle button and click “Slideshow”.
IMPORTANT:
a)If the PSP hanged or crashed, just reboot it and try it again (It is because of the instability of the TIFF exploit).
b)If after you slideshowing the xLoader 280 and you notice the PSP screen become white and nothing happen with the MS light continueosly flashing, just reboot it and try again.
c)If you notice the PSP screen blink white and show the statement “The slideshow connot be started. There are no image that can be displayed.”, it means the exloit patch successfully delivered. Now just click back. Also you will notice your PSP become no sound when you scroll through the XMB. This is normal.
7) Go to Game under Memory Stick run “1.50DDforTA-079-081FW2.80PSP”. Press “CIRCLE” to Start. Otherwise press “CROSS” to EXIT.
8)Press “CIRCLE” and the program will say “start Downdate …”. Wait until the downgrading process finished, the program will say “Finished. PowerOff to Exit”. Now hold the POWER button up until the PSP shutdown then restart it.
9)You will see (probably in your first time) the BSoD screen (Blue Screen of Doom).
Press “CIRCLE” and the PSP will restart again and prompt you the “Initial Setup”.
10)Congratulation ! Customise through the “Initial Setup” and welcome to the world of homebrew freedom !
11) Simply check your version and confirm it’s the BIG 1 POINT 50 !
For non window user, download the manual install version, extract it manually copy all the files and folders of eLoaderv0.995 “Kriek” to the correct directories in the PSP MS.
so i just run the program let it write it on my PSP and then run the SLIDE SHOW on the xLoader and than go to the game menu and than rum the game and thats it? c’mon HELP ME OUT
someone REALLY needs to come out with a 2.81 downgrader or be able to use homebrew ect…
2.8 users had to wait for a very long time u may have to wait till next xmas but by the time it comes out u would be the happiest person in the world.
OMFG is this 4 real ?! o_O
GOD DAMN IT!!!!
about 2 weeks ago i upgraded to 2.81 from 2.81 to play vice city
after months and months of learning about all the hacks available to 1.5ers i had lost all hope of downgrading my 2,80 so i thought fudge it its never going to happen
the last few days have been devastating lol
That’s why you wait you impatient fellow psper. The longer you wait, maybe the goodies would come around to you eventually. Now learn a lesson and don’t upgrade!
Exactly homie…
i had 2.80 3 weeks ago… i had an Eloader.. had shit loads of homebrew on my psp in one day.. i had a good memory stick ( 1Gig )
But then the nex day i went to the flea makret and got GTA VCS…
it wanted me to then upgrade to 2.81
i did as so..
causing me to lose my eloader and all homebrew..
-.-
and then my ckuzin upgraded my psp to 3.1..
Which made me evevn more pissed of because then i had bought a 4 GIG sitck on that day…
and just thinking of buying a fuking new motherbord for psp so then ill have 1.5 for one and FUCKING ALL.
God. but i dont kno one place in brampton that sells dem..
and Ebay.. i dont have paypal..
dark alex ur a fucking beast keep up wat u doing my nigga……….
you suckass man… this thing wa created by ookm ! not dark alex.
muhhahaha LAMER
i wish you bricking ur psp without doing anything.
u don’t deserve a psp at all, and may ur psp battery blows up soon and blow ur hands to pieces so that u can’t type a single word ever to show disrespectness to DA.
umm, what?
are you “DA”s best fucking friend?
you’re probly sitting at home in the basement of your mom’s house eating hot pockets and playing world of warcraft, but as long as you’re on the interent nobody knows that right?
you have to take all this time out of your “life” to “school” this person who made a mistake.
for all we know you’re some huge buff guy (or girl) with lots of money and a huge house right?
so act tough on the internet all you want asshole, everybody makes mistakes.
LMAO
lol u got the World of Warcraft thing from South Park :D
Not for nothing but whoever filmed this should stick with hacking because he sure as hell don’t know how to use a camera. As far as the downgrading goes, 0okm strikes gold again! Merry Christmas to all, I’m sure all the suckers that upgraded to 2.8 are happy :)
i feel the risk is too high my psp was not cheap i will wait till a easy downgrader.
yea same here. my psp was $340 (can.)
mine was 160 XD
Mine was 1680 HKD, is that cheap…?
$250 factory 1.50 (US) got it like a week after it first came out
Yeah me too i have the Factory 1.50 $250 actually the same day it came out (Currently 2.8 .. probably gonna downgrade) i dont care of brikyign it, I’ve brought it back to life before over 4 times ;) SMASHING YOUR PSP brings it back.
MY one was $400(AUD)
Mine was a 1.5 for £110 last month with a 2Gb card - sweet :). Amazon marketplace rules!
Take my advice>leave it a little longer and wait for chaos zero to patch it up abit>otherwise u will get a nice shiny brick for xmas!!!
Considering a modchip now anyone no if theres any major risks i should know about?
And how hard it would be to install?
Very hard, you need a microscope and a sharp ass soldering gun to do it. The traces are smaller than a piece of hair.
does th autmatic installer work for it, its on second post
where the hell can i get xloader?
hears the xLoader

merry xmas
downdater_final.rar? where can i download it ive downloaded the 1.50 fw but cant find this downdater_final.rar
Sick!, But im still waiting for a 2.81 lol..*SigH*
I just succeeded on downgrading 2.80 with this easy installer and was did it work…….. http://www.portable-news.de/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1993&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
You MUST have a 1.50 PSP available for this to work. The 1.50 PSP is needed to dump the FW150_ipl.bin file which is NOT included in the downdater_final. If you do not follow this step then you WILL brick your PSP.
But to reiterate, it should work IF YOU FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. Which I did, and my FW2.80 PSP is back in the happy land of FW1.50.
OK a lot has been said about the so called downgrade, now here is the truth.
The downgrade does work, you need a reliable source to download the DOWNDATER folder the FW150_ipl.bin file is 220KB and THIS MUST BE IN THE PRX folder.
Now if you have all the files it is now save to follow the instructions below:
1.. Place the DOWNDATER folder on the Root of your Memory Stick.
2.. Place the Ookm’s 2.80 Files into PSP/GAME folder.
3.. Use XLOADER to start up the DOWNDATER.
4.. After 2-3 mins it will say “Please restart your PSP”
5.. After restarting your PSP the BSOD will apear click O to this and the PSP will reset.
6.. Enjoy 1.50
Please remember you must have the FW150_ipl.bin file and it must be 220KB in size.
There is always a chance of bricking your PSP, so please be carefull and follow these instruction correctly.
TA-082 USERS DO NOT USE THIS DOWNGRADER!
Дрроли покупайте норамальные ПСП )))
Net panimaiu stari!
so it does everything for you nettdogg?
It installs everything to your psp with a formatted memory stick. You then run xloader and go to your memory stick and run downdater it installed……
and thats it 1.50 psp
Thank you so much to the crew who made this downgrade possible and thank you to axelixc as your guide helped me im now a 1.50 user and was a 2.80 im so happy!!
Nothing much I can ask from you but
MERRY CHRISTMAS !
I was actually a 3.02 OE-A user. Wel just risk my psp when I was testing the new downgrader. Scare me hell though but it’s worth. isn’t it?
I’m glad I’ve been running 1.50 for months now - this whole 2.80 downgrader is rather confusing for the moment. Anyway, I hope it goes well for those who try it.
^Doody
im scared whats the chances of bricking my psp with the automatic installer?
yes that is it, make sure after installing the files that you do a fresh reboot before you downgrade..
This is AWESOME news for us 2.8ers. Just intime for x-mas!
do you need to have the battery at 100% tell me asap and i will satrt it.
yes you do
IT does not require but would be a good idea to have the power adapter hooked up anytime you flash… good luck and let me know if everything goes good
OMG
Im 2 afraid to try to downgrade, i never tried this before and dont have money if i brick my psp, what are the chances of me bricking my psp?
man I’m in the same shoe they say it has like 50% chance of working and 50% chance of failing if i wer
