OMFG this bricked my 3.03 and i had ta-82 and all that as i need never thougth it shud be a bricker u shud warn uss somewhere ore atleast put somewhere that it can brick my psp
lol /point /laugh
OMG.Do you see ANYWHERE, ANYTHING about a 3.03???Especially on a TA-082 board!
look at my name m8s and u understunde lol
understunde it was sarcasm
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 were u i would wait for awhile till a good one comes out.
Man i think i am going to wait coz i dont want to take a chance
ohhhhh ahhhhhhhh if u guys were smart u wouldnt have updated in the 1st place. all though it is nice to see wut people are doing and how fast things like this come out. pretty sweet.
i forgot how to tell if my is ta-082
can some1 tell me?
i bought it of march 2006 cuz there are barely non-ta-082 now right?
open the UMD tray (remove any UMD inside)
look on top corners inside where you can see the circutry
if you see little yellow numbers “TA-082″ then its a TA-o82, otherwise its not
this is kewl now have 2 psp’s with 3.02 OE-A
Maybe those who are afraid to brick your psp should wait and in the meantime, save some money. At least have the backup money to buy just the console coz at least your memstick and UMDs are still working rite? Save 100 bucks a month maybe? ;)
I started saving the moment I start to do shit on my PSP. When i hit 400, i started flashing ;) haha.. maybe it’s too much to save and wait but at least have some man. Now im at my 800, soon one thousand. I might say hello to PS3… Just an advice guys $100/mth. Cheers :)
Muhahaha hollandia …..er..ja ja een echte kaaskop!!
GOOD JOB!

is this full proof i love my psp will it brick?
plzzz tel me.
They should make a downgrader that you just say next without any risk for the noobies like me so they down get bricked
like the idea
someone please make as a noob friendly downgrader
the easy installer is n00b friendly. just run the EXE and it installs all the files and folders neccessary. then run it through x loader and voila! on the psp forums we have had a 100% success rate with it!
Matt did yours work??? can i make a mistake with that easy installer??? where do i get the installer, please help

SUCCESFULLY DownGraDeD!! This downgrader works like a charm, just don’t be an idiot and follow the directions EXACTLY. Check and double check evertyhing before starting up xLoader and Downgrader and you should be fine
dude can u put up instruction in your own words.
can you tell us how you did it????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Jeez! I am so excited! What a happy Christmas this is! My god I’m so excited! It worked! and I’m now getting me 3.02oe-a! Hooray!
Just bricked a non-TA-082 with the “easy downgrader” — be warned.
lamer
Yes this is awesome it really works, now i can use dev-hook and isos TGreat Work!!!!!!!
YUPIIIIIIIIII :D tks tks tks =D
its works the easy installer sweat. back to isos
do i have to format on a non 2.80 psp first
ok betting time:
some1 gonna sue before this gets corrected?
USE AT OUR OWN RISK
i got 6:1 odds on correction coming first!! :P
use free translation 2 translate the german if ur having a hard time understanding it. i did it and now i hav a 1.5 psp. this guy rocks, im guna buy him a whore
FUCK YEA! MY PSP is back to 1.50 now xD Just like when I got it…..Cuz wen i got my PSP it was one of the first batch to come to the US
Not letter on my PSP box…..btw i used a easy downgrader pack like in the video from http://psp-news.dcemu.co.uk/ it should still be on there page at the moment…..Thanks 0okom keep up the good work, you rock…..
Problem is…..should i go to 3.02OE-A or just Dev-Hook….
Go for 3.02OE-A, you can always go back to 1.5 if you dont like it.
btw….many ppl bricked there PSPs because they screwed up in the process…..somewhere, if done properly it would work like mines….
But if you are not willing to take the risk wait for a fool proof version…..which should be coming soon for all those who are waiting to downgrade soon ^_^ time for my hombrew. Good luck to all those who are going try as well
all of you who have bricked, have you installed the folders to your comp first then copied it to your game folder or somewhere else. just trying to work out why there are just a few bricks so far.
ive waited how many months for this! and i can wait a little longer, Hopefully Chaos Zero will make a n00b friendly version.
this is a noob friendly version. just run the installer, load x loader and click on the dg.
does the installer include ALL nessecary files tho, ‘cos i dont know anybody that has a 1.5 psp to dump that thing i need.
Worked! Now I gotta go find some goodies for my psp.
WOO! Success!!!
If you follow the video exactly it seems you have nothing to worry about!
it fucking works!!!!!!!!!
this is awesome
now i have 1.5
Hey Nice work u guys are great
i have a psp upgraded to 2.81 but i bought 1 year ago so i dont think i got TA-082.
even though i got 2.81 and not 2.80 think it would (work),(not work),or (brickpsp). ?
am just asking and i ready the other commonet above dont see if anyone tried on it yet so if some one did?
2.80 EASY DOWNGRADER WILL NOT EXTRACT. IT JUST KEEPS SAYING ITS CORRUPT
re-download it, and make sure it actually downloads the full file size (ive had this happen on my computer before)
The easy downgrader is in german too… I hope someone makes a better one or translates this one im not trying it yet
ok people the english version
Instructions
If you do use that easy install then MAKE SURE that you use xLoader rather then eLoader.
IF YOU LOAD eLoader THEN YOUR PSP WILL BRICK…
Here is just a QUICK guide to the easy installer…
1) Format memstick with a 2.8 NON TA-082 PSP.
2) Connect PSP via USB and run easy installer.
3) Select PSP drive in the easy installer and let it install the files.
4) Turn off your PSP.
5) Turn on your PSP and goto PHOTO -> Memory stick -> xLoader 280
6) You should see two icons in the xLoader 280 folder. If xLoader loads correctly then nothing should happen. If it fails then MS will blink and then PSP will crash.
7) Once xLoader is run successfully, goto GAME -> MEMORY STICK and run the downgrader.
8) You should see the DG menu.
9) Pray to God and cross your fingers.
10) Hit O to start DG.
11) Wait for it to say “Finished. PowerOff to exit”
12) Hold Power switch up untill psp is completely off.
13) Pray again.
14) Turn on PSP, you should now get a Blue Screen Of Death so press O to reset settings.
THIS DOWNGRADER IS NOT FOR TA-082 USERS
CONGRATS! You should now have a 1.5 PSP..
WARNING: I STILL RECOMEND AGAINST USING THIS … YOU SHOULD JUST WAIT FOR A FOOL PROOF DOWNGRADER… I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILTY IF THIS GOES WRONG…
There you will find the installer and a translated read me
Thank you
holy ballz of satan!!!! breakthrough!!!!!! i dont have 2.80 but for for who ever does…….dont wait…just get this shit!!!
I know how to do it but i dont know if i can trust it
Hey, ya all. I’ve just upgraded to 3.02 OE-A.
1.50 (Original PSP from NA Release in March)->2.70->2.80->1.50->3.02 OE-A
well its 1.50 from the following two-three weeks after PSP release in North America anyhow…
IT WONT EXTRACT ON MYMPC SO I CANT RUN IT
Hello guys.. i’m new here to write a comment.
by the way, after reading all the comment, i still dont get it…
i have updated the psp to firmware 2.81.
Reading all the comment, some say the downgrader can be use to 2.81, some say can’t…
with all ur help, can someone that from version 2.81 confirm they successfully downgrade their psp to 1.5..
i dont care about the risk coz i once downgrade my psp before from 2.6 to 1.5.. is just that i just want to confirm this downgrade can be use in 2.81 or not..
orait guys thanks for your support..
those who said they dg their 2.81 to 1.5 were bunch of fuckshit liar. in 2.81 the tiff exploit is patched. so no way to use any eloader or xloader n ho homebrew. they can’t even start any homebrew. how to dg?
Thank for the info.
Don’t try it on 2.81
yo jay you should download the file again,and try the new files.
wat to do i dont know do i gotta format by a non 2.80 psp
You can format on a 2.80 psp just not a TA-082 psp as it will brick the TA -082 is a motherboard model
Why not ta-082?
if u dont know i think u should goolge TA-082 and read up about it
cuz it has a code nobody can get to
so i can format on my 2.80 and it wont brick
on a ta-082 it will brick your psp but I don’t know why
It’s because of the fact that the motherboard came with it’s specific firmware and downgrading generally kills the PSP.
yes formatting on a non ta-082 psp will be fine
can i delete the files on the psp after the install?
or even better yet reformat the memory stick without any worries aobut damaging the psp?
once you get onto 1.50 you can delete all the files on the memory stick and you will be safe

Well, if he wanna brick, he should use the brick against a EB Games store window on Xmas, and grab a few more psps in 1 minute.
LOL ..
This easy downgrader does work for *2.80* PSPs, not sure of 2.81s but for my 2.80 FW PSP, it worked exactly in the way I followed zozodouce’s instructions.
so you now have 1.50 shadow?
yup
I’m going to post a tutorial of myqj.net for those that want to follow out zozodueces instructions, as well as a few warnings about what not to have when downgrading.
Damn IT ITS OUT AND I DONT GOT A CLUE HOW TO USE IT
calm down, relax and follow zozodouce’s instructions(ctrl-f and type in zozodouce)
Can anyone give me the site to get FW150_ipl.bin
give me the actual site i cant seemed to find it anywhere.
Just downgraded a 2.80 and it didn’t brick it. The instructions given above worked just fine. So, if anyone is worried about it, you shouldn’t. Just follow the instructions given by zozodouce and you’ll do just fine.
for Nukealator, the file is included in the easy downgrader
so i format my memory stcik
use the easy downgrader
restart psp
go on the xloader
then the downgrader in the game bit
press O
then restart psp
press O on blue screen
then restart and im 1.50 no brick?
dame man can some one please tell me the site to get FW150_ipl.bin
there is a FW150_ipl.bin file in the easy install rar file I guess that is the one needed. Im going to downgrade now. hope I dont brick my psp.
im tryin it with the easy installer im shakin like mad right now my hearts is beating here goes nothing(or everything)
OMFG IT WORKED IT WORKED IT WORKED THANK U OOKM
T.T i want to try it but i’m too afraid of the result…
FW150_ipl.bin should be in the easy installer package…..hope that helps
I used to the easy installer to downgrade to 1.5 from 2.80 and now i’m a happy 3.02 OE-A user
thank you so much
and btw, if i remember correctly TA-82 and higher motherboards do no support 1.50 FW…not sure ask a expert about it
Can someone tell me why the same downgrader was said to be a bricker 10 hours ago and now it works for evryone?
did the ppl who got bricked mess up with the instructions somewhere?
Now i think about it there was no easy downgrader to start with.
the FW150_ipl.bin file wasnt included, and people didnt correctly obtain it from a 1.50 user, thus they bricked their PSP
so the easy downgrader came a bit afterwords?
yes
now that i got from 2.8 to 1.5 can sum1 tell me how to get to 3.02 oe-a
http://www.psp-hacks.com/2006/12/22/302-oe-a-devhook-0510100-installer/
To warren, and MysticXG, yes people were messing up with the instructions, but as far as I’ve noticed, following the zozodouce’s instructions work best and hoping that you dont use anything besides a TA-079 to TA-081( motherboard IC1003 approx) you should be fine.
yeah, the easy downgrader came a few hours after the downgrader from ookm
by zozodouce, do u mean the video?
thanks shadow iv been readin alot of posts about it and im sure i know what to do now so im going to go for it. fingurs crossed!
not the video per se, but in the comments, zozodouce gave instruction which worked for me. I’m assuming the video just follows out the same procedure as proof that it works.
I have one of the first PSP’s, and i tried downgrading my 2.8 FW to a 1.5, but it says i don’t have the correct mb. Did anyone else experience this?
nvm i got oe-a now thank u ookm and dark alex
Its about time
But I think Ill wait until I hear
more sucessful downgrades
now im a proud oe-a user thank u ookm i went from 2.8 to 1.5 to 3.02 oe-a
YES its worked very good downgrader!
just had 1 problem it dint start the 1st time after downgradein it though i had bricked it but the i tried it again and yes it worked! thankyou ookm
Hey has anyone taken a shot of downgrading 2.80 with a TA-082 board???
If anybody besides the range of compatible motherboards tried this, I am sure they would brick. So I would rather be prudent than stupid.
congrats warren, i’m still too afraid to do it though T.T lol
Its quite scary i just went for it. But dont try it if your to afraid there should be a better one soon!
i hope… maybe i’ll try it on christmas day lol…
the battery needs to be 100% charged? do I need to restore default settings before doing all the process? and (maybe this is a stupid question) is there a way to unbrick a psp?
Hey It Works!!! Long waitng hope…. i knew it come… Ookm u save lots of 2.80 lives!!! Hail Ookm!!!
to tito:
yes, no, yes if you choose to install a custom firmware.
thx!
my battery was at about 86% when i did it now for devhook :D
hm…. most of the ppl who posted on here so far seemed to hav got it, except that one guy who said he bricked the psp with the easy downgrader…
when i installed oe-a the screen was black and nothing was happening and i was scared then the settings and stuff just loaded after like 3 seconds.lol congrats everyone merry christams thank god for this 2.8 was so gay
I’m just waiting for my battery to be fully charged and then i’ll try it…
i’m charging my battery right now… but i’m not sure if i’ll hav enough courage to try it…
fuck it! lets try it… ;)
good luck
sucessful..i now have a 1.5. thx to all of you!!!
WOOT!!! it worked flawlessly tytytytytyty
Merry Christmas Everyone
3.02OE ROCKS!!!!!
omg! it worked T.T thank god
YES YES YES
ty
i never had 1.5 but ive had 1.0>2.6>2.7>2.71>2.80
NOW 1.50 YES TY Ookm
when I tried to start the downgrading process I got a message “Not a TA-079~081″. I checked for the IC1003 thing in the back of the psp and I dont have it. WTF? help plz
When did u buy it? could it be your psp has the latest motherboard model TA-086? This model doesn’t show the IC1003 thing worst still so far there is no report saying TA-086 can be dg.
Maybe somthing wrong with your file. just double chk to make sure all are in place.
nvm I just tryied again and it worked. I have FW 1.5 now…
Sorry if you felt cheated, but the downgrader only works for the TA-079~081 specifically. If you didn’t have the number in the back of psp, far right, under the screw, then you don’t have a board of the range. Since the easy downgrader derives from 0okm’s downgrader, that is the only thing you can use. Sorry, for the mix up. (google if you don’t know whether you have the right motherboard or not, I would recommend the psp.about site.
i followed the video but when i start the downgrader it says not TA 097 081 PSP
WHAT MUST I DO NOW PLEASE HELP ME
OH BaBY thanks ookm merry xmas and thanks zozodouce your guide helped clarify it for me the most a long with the vid tut.
OMG!!! it worked. I have 1.50 now. I think the problem was that I had the USB cable plugged in. merry xmas to yall (specially 0okm) :)
Is the 1.5.ipl.bin included in the 2.8 easy downgrader from csfreakno1?
PSP upates reported it a bricker beware
yes, it is included
to SPYDER:
The easy downgrader is what I’m pretty sure they haven’t marked as a downgrader, but rather the original file from 0okm because the instructions are a tad complex, and likely to cause a brick. As well as the fact that people might have tried to downgrader without the 1.50 ipl.
Yes yes yes! i did it!!! its easy with the easy downgrader, omfg its so easy! welcome to 1.5 yes yes yes!
nooooooooooo i bricked on you tube a guy unbricks his psp how someone help meeeeeeeee
To unbrick you need either custom firmware with a recovery mode (3.02 OE-A or below) OR a modchip with it’s own flash and recovery mode.
hahahahah wow … dont cry lamer !
so does that mean i am done for how much does it cost to repair the mother bored or get a new one
Try looking at these links:
http://www.modchipstore.com/Undiluted-Platinum-PSP-Mod-Chip-Fix-Bricked-PSP-with-full-featur-16328.html
http://www.xboxrepairguide.com/repair-parts-sony-c-22_54.html
I would reckon you’re looking around the $100 mark AND you’ll need someone who is confident at messing around with tiny electronics.
You’ll need a new board – around $100 or a modchip which should be less with fitting.
if u hav a vaio….use its mem card reader&install recovery…when psp starts…ie if/without if press r-button….&click on recovery to 1.50….
Use easy downgrader if you dont whant to get a brick. Thank you 0okm. You are rulezzzz!
works 150% achieved downgrade 2 minutes ago
early xmas present to me i gess
Instructions
If you do use that easy install then MAKE SURE that you use xLoader rather then eLoader.
IF YOU LOAD eLoader THEN YOUR PSP WILL BRICK…
Here is just a QUICK guide to the easy installer…
1) Format memstick with a 2.8 NON TA-082 PSP.
2) Connect PSP via USB and run easy installer.
3) Select PSP drive in the easy installer and let it install the files.
4) Turn off your PSP.
5) Turn on your PSP and goto PHOTO -> Memory stick -> xLoader 280
6) You should see two icons in the xLoader 280 folder. If xLoader loads correctly then nothing should happen. If it fails then MS will blink and then PSP will crash.
7) Once xLoader is run successfully, goto GAME -> MEMORY STICK and run the downgrader.
8) You should see the DG menu.
9) Pray to God and cross your fingers.
10) Hit O to start DG.
11) Wait for it to say “Finished. PowerOff to exit”
12) Hold Power switch up untill psp is completely off.
13) Pray again.
14) Turn on PSP, you should now get a Blue Screen Of Death so press O to reset settings.

Hmm… just something! What’s the goodies of 1.5, yeah I know “homebrew” but I think if you have a eloader for your any psp firmware then you got already “homebrew”! Yeah, I know not so much as 1.5 will provides and nothing what you can do in kernel-mode! But just think everything in that will causes to brick your psp, if I’m not wrong! Is devhook not to be used in kernel-mode?
YES! IM A 1.5ER ONECE AGAIN. SHOVE THAT SONY!
ASS, HELL, DAMN, FUCK, BITCH, AND ANY SEXUALLY OR PHISICALLY BAD SWEAR TO THAT SON OF A BASTERED BrokenWings

Welcome to the shit show “SHIT SHOW” everybody blows “BLOWS”!!!
w00t succesfully downgraded to 1.5 ! and now a proud owner of 3.02 OE-A psp!
yyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssss downgrade complete
Are there major differences in 2.80 and 2.81??
I have 2.81 and Im wondering how much time its
going to take before 2.81 downgrader comes out.
Does anyone know those differences ??
when i start the downgrader it says not TA-097~081 PSP
PLEASE HELP ME, WHATS WRONG WHY DOESNT IT WORK
to Izzo:
You can try a number of things,
unplug the usb,
format the memory stick,
check to see that you actually have a TA-097~081 motherboard, or just follow the steps again to make sure nothing went wrong.
Shadow how do i check that, sorry for the dumb questions but i dont know mutch about the stuff
It’s fine everybody needs to know something every once in a while. The best way to find out if you have a TA-097~081 motherboard, is to look under the screw on the ring side of the psp on the left side, if it says IC1003 then you have a TA-097~081 motherboard, otherwise you may not be able to downgrade.
Shadow when i open the umd on my psp on the left side there is a number, but i cant see what it is
Try looking at an angle with light behind it, it might help.
1009 c(other way around)i. is this it?, this is what i see when the psp is the rightway around if i turn it upside down it says – IC6001. i am realy struggeling to see
http://i6.tinypic.com/16jpr86.jpg this is what i have
Well i ran the DG and it says:
start Downdate …
NOT TA-079~081
and thats it. what the hell is that!? i know for a fact i do not own a ta-082
IC6001 thats what mine is, i also got that when i tried to downgrade, have a look at this pic, this is what mine looks like http://i6.tinypic.com/16jpr86.jpg
Exactly what I have, so it should work fine.
OMG!!!! IT WORKED! I LOVE U GUYS WHO EVER CAME OUT WITH IT! BEST XMAS GIFT EVER!!!!!!
AH SHIT i looked in the wrong place for the numbers!! Well, it did not brick my PSP, so thank God for that, but now i have a gimp psp and i have to wait for a special program to downgrade :(
matt is there going to be a programe coz i also have that IC6001 , will we be able to downgrade? and if so when
Errrm…. And what if there’s nothing! I can’t find it! And I haven’t TA-082!
have a look at this, this is what i have http://www.pcgames.com.cn/tvgames/bao/news/0607/pic/pcgames0703psp.jpg
ok well if you have the psp screen down then it is more on the left side of the psp for me. i have the IC6001 mobo.
there was a site put up a long time ago that showed a psp motherboard and it was on the right side, thats what made it so confusing for me. here is the site for reference:
http://www.pspbrew.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=57946&sid=47c3d9ff6108b07d658bef51b954238d
http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=psp&thread.id=2714501
Pic of IC6001 and TA 082
Can i downgrade if i have a 2,82 version, non TA-082??
so we need a downgrader that is compatible with the IC6001 before we can downgrade?
No you don’t need a downgrader compatible with the IC6001 motherboard, rather your motherboard needs to be IC6001 to use the downgrader provided in the easy downgrader.
To the influrry of requests, I have the IC6001 motherboard and that is what I used to downgrade. If you have problems downgrading doublecheck the steps, try different variations, etc. As for the pics of the IC6001 that is exactly what you should have if you have TA-079~TA-081, otherwise there is simply no check that this will work.
Shadow, what exactly did you change variation wise? I am not really willing to take risks and brick my psp, i had to work for the money to buy it.
I didn’t really have to anything the first time, so my best guess is that I was lucky, my recommendation for what to do is look around the qj.net psp forums and you might find something. (and also as a sidenote as long as don’t actually execute the downgrader and tell it to begin after starting the icon from the xloader you will have nothing to worry about, else you will bite the bullet upon pressing O. (I didn’t so much change the install sequence but rather the psp check like if the battery had 100% charge as it should, usb wasn’t plugged in (sporadic among users), and beyond that I don’t know what else but try your best.)(I am also not to be held liable if you brick your psp.))
As a sheer warning to those that question how to do this anymore, the instructions are on my.qj.net as the first thing that shows up (if you can’t find that do a search for Shadow Man( my alter-ego there and ), and you should realize how to do this, as well as any associated warnings.
ok i failed to see the post by Izzo that showed a ic6001 vs a ta-082
THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING
http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=psp&thread.id=2714501
all credit goes to Izzo. looks like i have a ta-081 mobo so i am going to try the downgrade once more and post my results.
HAHAHAHA THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST!!!
This works it works it works!!! I just had to have 100% battery XD
Thanks to everyone who made this work and helped me out you helped me have a Merry Christmas!
MaT so you did the easy installer with a 100% battery and it worked with your IC6001?
Yes and it worked perfectly. The only bad thing was i forgot to backup my savegames XD So now i get to start Killzone from the very beginning. A small price to pay for the ultimate homebrew psp though.
my psp is on charge, will try the installer as soon as its charged. So you just installed it on your psp and whent to the loader and then to the downgrader and it worked? im so afraid of getting a brick man
yeah i was too. i followed these instructions:
1) Format memstick with a 2.8 NON TA-082 PSP.
2) Connect PSP via USB and run easy installer.
3) Select PSP drive in the easy installer and let it install the files.
4) Turn off your PSP.
5) Turn on your PSP and goto PHOTO -> Memory stick -> xLoader 280
6) You should see two icons in the xLoader 280 folder. If xLoader loads correctly then nothing should happen. If it fails then MS will blink and then PSP will crash.

it was posted by SGT.
Its easy, just follow instructions to the word. Use xLoader, NOT eLoader and you will be a happy 1.5 user :D Let me know how it goes
Thanks MaT, will follow those instructions, and let you know how it went, psp is still charging. When i have 1.5 how do i play iso images?
MaT mine still doesnt want to work, keeps saying not a TA-079~081 Psp
What do i do now?
@ John
sucks to be you
I’ve just followed those instructions and worked but i must say the install did not work corrrectly i had to copy all of the folders for the installtion folder on my pc to the root of the psp mem stick.
Then i followed the instructions as it says and bingo !!!
Thankyou very much for the download and time spet on making this happen. And in time for Christmas day. Whooooooooo !!!
Im now running custom firmware 3.02e and work a treat.
Shit,after i tryed to install the downgrader on my 2.8 fw psp,this make an error and then my psp turned off,and now when i turn on my psp it dont do nothing,just on the green ligth and then it turn on,i dont know if this thing briked my psp,but how can i fix this,please help me!
lamer.
Sorry to say this but you may as well have a brick.
Did you install the .ipl correctly, if not the thing is guaranteed to brick outright. (it was included in the easy downgrader)
and then it turn off,sorry for my error write
Amazing!
Thank you so much to all the coders who made this possible, without you all the scene would be dead!
Just use the easy installer to do all the downgrade hassle free!
Then grab the latest custom firmware & youre away!
NB – if you wanna run isos make sure you enable the no umd feature under the f/ware menu cos i was having no success for ages until i did that!
Thank You!!! Best Xmas Ever
:)
Oh, there is a big problem! I found it but… I can’t read it. I mean it is blocked by the silver metal… or something! I can see only the orange line near the numbers like in this pic you added to my comment, but the numbers are a little bit deeper than in this pic, so there’s no chance! I think nobody was in trouble like this way!
O yes baby, mine worked, im on 1.5 now, i’m so happy i did get a brick
Thanks to everyone
Merry Christmas to all
didnt get a brick, sorry im so excited, let the isos begin hehehe
ok so now that i got 1.5 how do i play iso images? someone please help me
through the use of devhook, but you have to make sure have the original game or else illegal.
Yes Shadow i have a couple of games, so where do i get the devhook and how do i use it, could you please tell me, my games are already images
For all those people that Bricked their psp’s I will be releasing “Reflash X” Which will reboot your bricked psp to your chosen firmware… it will be done by JAN -FEBRUARY so dont lose hope just yet….

So I have IC6001. My question is, can I downgrade with the “easydowngrader” without any problems if I just follow the intstructions?
Also, does all the files and programs that I nead follow and install themselves with the easydowngrader(exept xloader)
Tnx in advance(ps. I`m a n0ob so try answering with easy words. No sad7 kjasd8 jahsd9 jhaskhdas7 bull I woulnt understand:P)
To Mr.E:
1. Yes, but you have to remember to format the memory stick first (don’t forget to back it up)
2. All files are included in the downgrader when it unloads all the files (including xloader- use, and eloader -don’t use.)
3. If this isn’t simple enough I don’t know what is.
:D
what does that mean:P? I told u no sad8 kjasd8. Maybe it was wrong I forgot to mention that :D and :O, :S etc, also was included in my “dont understand because Im to much of a n0ob” list
ive been reading the comments trying to figure out whats going on. it sounds like the easy downgrader works very well. is this true? what are the chances with it?
Does the easydowngrader include the xloader, or do I have to put it myself on my mem-stick after formatting it?
Oh thank god it worked!!!!!1
No Mr.E you have to download the xloader and when you format your memstick it will stay on there
Or Wait
Im not sure
Just download it to be sure
What I did was
I already had it installed
and i formated
then I used the easy downloader
and I still had the eloader and xloader
Merry Christmas 0okm!!!
Yes, chalk another 2.80 PSP up. Successful downgraded using Easydowngrader. Your my Santa!!!
*skeets on santa*
so the easy downgrader, is without the xloader. that means u have to downloade the 280 easy downgrader.zip and the xloader.* format the MS. after that put the xloader in the folder psp/game/ on the MS then format again and u say taht the xloader is still in there? i am not doing this for myself just want to make it clear. i am helping some one with his psp on msn. He has no CODES on his PSP. so it would bn fine to use the easy downgrader right. thx in advance.
just watch this ull understand and the xLoader comes with the easy installer
Just as killer2 said, the xloader does come with the xloader. If you wan’t to check just install the files to a folder on the desktop, open the folder, find psp, picture, and you’ll see both xloader and eloader.
a video guide to help, if you are unsure
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAhHKZSn8ws
thanks heaps!!! :D
and merry x-mas, btw
Merry X-mass and thenks all the programers and the coders that spent their time to make us a 2.80 downgrader.. Thank you Ookm… You are a God… Btw, their is no chance to brick your psp with the easy downgrader… Just download it and follow step by step this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAhHKZSn8ws ….. It’s too simple..

on the guide on pspvault, it sais I have to use the patchSFO, or that it will make the downgrade easyer.
Is this neceserry?
excuse my noobiness, i really am bored of reading these comments and don’t know if this has been asked already, but is there a 2.81 downgrader in the works?
is anybody trying to find an exploit for it or something? I hate VCS and firmware updates, but the guy from whom i bought my psp had updated it to 2.81 just to play the game:| *crap*
No downgrader for psp 2.81 but u can try this one :p
but guys is patchSFO neceserry?
Hi Guys, will this work on version 2.82 or do I have to keep waiting……..
Worked fine with the easy installer.
I followed ZOZODOUCE’S Advice.
I’m now a PSP.1.5 happy owner
Im sorry to say it bhambi but u have to keep waiting. But I think that it will come a downgrader pretty soon. If not to 2.82 then to 3.0. Then juts uppgrade, then downgrade;)
You guys with the non TA082 boards are lucky i still have to wait till i can downgrade.
when you installed the easy loader, and you go to photo you see 2 icons. You should click the first one ?! Because the second icon is corrupted, is that correct ?! Hmmm and besides on the youtube 2.8 downgrader guides he doesn’t get to see the 2icons at all -_-
thats because the guy on youtube pressedt start. Its the same thing, just do that. But once again. Do u guys use patchSFO when dowgrading?
bull-frog, i may be a noob, but i know that trying this on my 2.81 psp will it… fu and stop being a wise ass
To Mr.e:
No, you don’t need to use patchSFO, pspvault probably did so to make sure it worked (which it kind of already was.), the thing is that the Easy Downgrader is already prepared for everything like the need for an 1.5 IPL (already in), the need for xloader (already in), and the need for other files that may be needed for the eloader or xloader. However, and I can’t stress this enough, THIS IS NOT FOR ANYTHING BELOW OR ABOVE 2.80 FIRMWARES, if you try to use it for a downgrade you will fail, and/or most likely get a brick. This derives(as in it uses those files) from 0OKM’s downgrader to downgrade, all it does is simplify the process, but it DOES NOT alter it for higher firmwares. Simply put FW 2.81+ and higher are unable to use it because it was meant specifically for 2.80 firmwares. (If you have any more questions head over to my.qj.net and look for “Easy DownGrader for Firmware 2.80 PSPs” by Shadows, it lists all that you need to know about this subject and will hopefully answer any questions that you may have. (And besides the fact that this is a shameless plug, I created the article and for the most part it answers almost all questions, if there are any questions for this downgrader, please shift them to that article’s comments and I will respond as quickly and best I can.)
It worked!!
haha I`m so excited!
Thanks 2 everyone who made this possible!!
The previous message to Mr.E also takes effect to anybody else reading the comments, so if you decide to skip that comment, I can guarantee that you should go back and read.
ok, u no the psp’s without the motherboards, the 1’s that u got wen they 1st came out, well does this downgrader work on them???
