Update: As expected… Here is the Easy TA-082 Downgrader from csfreakno1! Download below.
Are you sad and/or upset that you own a TA-082 PSP? Do you want to downgrade it and take advantage of all the glory 1.50 has to offer? Well guess what — you can!
Downgrade your TA-082 PSP running 2.71 with HEN-D; this made possible by none other than Dark_AleX, Mathieulh, and Harleyg!
This is an application to downgrade a ta-082 unit running 2.71 firmware and HEN-D to 1.50, although theoretically can downgrade to any version, but only 1.50 has been tested.
The application, at the moment of writing this readme was tested in 5 psp’s, with 5 success. As always, this kind of application have risks, this one in concrete write to idstorage area of nand.
READ CAREFULLY THE INSTRUCTIONS AND DON’T SKIP ANY STEP
Instructions
- Copy the UPDATE and idstoragechange folders into /PSP/GAME/
- Get the official sony 1.50 eboot and put it in the /PSP/GAME/UPDATE folder with the name of UPDATE.PBP
- Run HEN-D if you are not already running it.
- Execute the idstoragechange. It needs 75% battery. It will change some keys of your idstorage needed to downgrade the ta-082.
- The program will exit to the XMB. Now execute the generic downgrade, which will show in the xmb as “Update X.YX” in the psp language.
- The generic downgrader will also need 75% battery. IT will downgrade your psp to 1.50.
- At the end, it will ask you to press X to restart the psp. Do it.
- If all went fine, you’ll receive a blue screen telling you to press O. Do it, and reenter your settings. Welcome to 1.50.
- If things didn’t go that fine, you’ll have a non-functional psp, aka brick. You accepted that risk, remember.

Should I format the MS (and then install HEN D) before I use this?
format. ^^
yea you should but wait until a more stable one comes or for test results before anything dont want to brick
maybe its a fake
it’s my brother’s psp, he’d get really mad if I bricked it… Mine’s 3.02 OE-B :)
no fake… tested in 5 psp’s, with 5 success.
Dark Alex don’t make fake. U dumbass!

if you have a 1.5 it should be fine to upgrade to 3.02 oe-b
ive red in pspupdates.com that it does work
GREAT JOB!!. I thougt TA-082 wasnt hackeable. I would advise to wait for an easy installer to avoid bricking.
Im new to psp, could someone tell me how to downgrade my psp cause i dont understand. thanks
greg, check on the site where it came from! There is a updated version!
It’s the same version from downgrader.lan.st — that’s where it came from.
btw… DA is on fire… 1 week 2 downgraders
ya, wait for an easyinstaller
hmm so what was o0km’s method of downgrading that was so compliccated?
Dark_Alex you can take my virginity im on all fours lmao..i always wanted this downgrader for my lil bro he has like no games for psp homebrew sounds good
Ur a virgin!??
lmao
AAHAHHA
YAY! finally wohoo… This one isnt fake.. yay… the other one bricked your psp but YAAY!!! woohoo… I’m happy
does this work with firmware 2.80?
NO it does’nt work with 2.80, you’ll have to wait….
I hate retards who upgrade their psp, and then they are crying because of the update
I’m Not Crying, I updated my PSP full well knowing that I couldn’t play homebrew, But There is a hope someday for a 2.8x downgrader, but I will watch and wait.
apparently some people didn’t notice the 2.8 downgrader that came out about 4 days ago.
*cough* i re-read - just ignore me. =P
I got my PSP and it already was upgraded to 2.81…
I knew ahead of time that I didn’t want to update.
so, lemme get this straight, this downgrader can make the TA-082 function like a normal PSP?
ta-082’s are normal psp’s.
did you read the article you’re posting on? or just the title?
it says it downgrades a ta-082 to 1.5.
it’s pretty simple
does this work with ta-082 with firmware 2.81
NO!! didn’t you read the previous posts? geeez
o0km $UCK$
Since when? He came up with a TA-82 downgrader, though he had to do each one manually, it still worked. So STFU! 0okm rules more than you know.
oh are you 0okm’s best friend dude? have you ever met him?
you stfu.
lo tonkatsu & _kD…..u guys shld stfu.
ookm is more respectable than u guys talkin shit here. who made 2.80 downgrade you fool.
u guys were still noobs when he was the 1st person break the new of ta-082 ic1003 model exist. if wasn’t him do u think u know how to spot the ic1003. i had ppl flame devs tat really sacrifies their precious time for the sake of homebrew community.
so shut up your pussy lips.
tonkatsu = pissed off sony dev
love to see these major battles won
NO IT DOESNT WORK ON 2.80 its intended for 2.71 I suggest if you have a TA-082 LOWER THAN 2.60 TO UPGRADE and install hen-d and then downgrade.
The program Reflash-X for psp’s that have been bricked will be coming out soon in a couple of weeks or month. Created by your truly Black_omens the program is intended to UNBRICK psp’s . Also creating a beta 3.0X exploit for running homebrew
I may be a bit slow here, but how could you unbrick a psp without a modchip? Wouldn’t the psp need to be on to run the program?
Dark_AleX wroth this on maxconsole.net
“Btw i wanted to say, since it was not specified in the readme, that there is no danger in installing 3.02 OE or 2.71 SE once downgraded.
For those 2.80 users, don’t desesperate, the downgrader for it will be released at its time”
Also I just wanted to add that Dark-Alex and fanjita were I get most of my Influence from.
Dark_AleX, Mathieulh, and Harleyg: good work and many thanks. A good start in 2007 for many psp fans! If you guys can outsmart Sony, my guess is that you will have a rewarding future in ITC. Keep on doing the good work for the so called “General Public”.

i really home u are telling the truth
Just a personal thank you to anyone involved in the creation of this beautiful hack. I’m not going to o it yet, as i love HEND with DH. But when the time comes when it is needed, it is good to know it is an option. Now just to help thoe people like my friend who has 2.8 with TA-082
YES!!! it works
do you have torun the dh to 1.50 after executing hen d? before u run the idstorage?
NO, keep it at 2.71 HEN-D
omg so cool but once im on 1.50 can i upgrade to 3.00oeb are any custom firmware???????????? email me are comment back please (rickyeddieramos@yahoo.com)
yes, you can.
Hell yeah you can! Merry Christmas to DA and Booster!
Followed the instructions properly AND IT WORKS!!!!!!:)
yesss thanks
Do you have to run the devhook 4x launcher for 2.71 back to 1.50 before running the idstorage?
YEAH IT FREAKING WORKED. I JUST GOT A PSP this XMAS and it was a TA-82 and when i found out I almost cried but it FUCKING WORKS OH YEAH!
1.50 :D
im gonna wait for the easy installer!!! YYYYYYYYeeeeeeeesssssssssssss!!!!!!
Dark_Alex :100000
Sony devs : 0
Thanks So much for this, i’ve been waiting for this ever since i got my psp. Just out of curiosity has anyone bricked their psp with this yet?
This means…I should buy psp entertainment pack

The authors don’t get responsabilized of any damage that may happen by the use of this
unlicensed software. You are on your own when doing it.
The method of ta-082 downgrade is based on research on hardware-downgraded ta-082 selled in ebay.
We realized that the process was not very complex, and easy to imitate by software.
“responsabilized” Fuck me, are you George W - that’s a “bushinism” I’ve ever I’ve heard one.
second that :)
Huh Huh Huh You said…..Bush
Lmfao.
WOOO, another step in the right direction!! Ookm releases a 2.80 downgrader for the ‘normal’ PSP users and Dark_Alex release a 2.71 downgrader for those haunted with TA-082 :P
Now all I need is a 2.81 TA-082 Downgrader for my brothers new x-mas PSP :P
I’m ahppy with my ‘normal’ PSP’s at 1.00 and 3.02 OE-B :D
If it’s 2.81 then it may be a TA-086… I’d suggest checking the box code to confirm it.
fuck the box, check the board it self
after your running hen d do you have to use the devhook to emulate 1.50 before running idstorage?
No. The idstorage hack is a HEN-D homebrew.
Is it recommend to format memory stick before doing this? Start fresh? Then downgrade, or just put the files over and downgrade.
Geez they dont stop. Btw booster and dark alex I LOVE DEVHOOK
woot isnt it ironic i just traded my friend my ta-082 yesterday after x-mas and *then* the downgrader comes out but even still this is the breakthrough of the century so in the future if we buy a new psp most likely can be downgraded. I want to thank dark alex for his hard work and dedication to the scene and all the other devs on this project and the rest of the scene cause without you guys we would be nothing so thanks.
according to qj.net, this is a fake!
qjnet is full of morons. Beware!
OMG YESSSSS!!!!! IT REALLY DOES WORK I JUST DID IT YESS!!! HEY GUYS ANYONE WHO HAS A TA-082 GO RIGHT AHEAD IT WORKS. JUST FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS PROMPTLY AND U HAVE IT. I AM SOO HAPPY THIS DOWNGRADER REALLY DOES WORK.
sony’s new name is fire cuz DAX stomped em out!!!
hmm…All that Chaos Zero bashing from before? I would be shocked if he still wants to help out with an easy installer, not that I need one cuz I got 3.02 oe-b! But good luck, and Chaos Zero, please help these innocent-funloving-psp users get in on the good shxt! They sure could use an easy installer, and you’re the man! What a way to bring in the new year-everyone can get their homebrew on!
Fucking right, Big up! to Chaos Zero, and dark alex ofcourse. im running 3.02 already but i used all of their homebrew to downgrade alot of psp’s for friends of mine i did about 7 and could not have done it without the great work you always deliver! U ROCK
uhms 3.02 OE-B that is
my xmb has the update file as XYZ instead of XYX
i was wondering if this dowgrader works because i just got a new psp 2.71 ta-082 for christmas AND I DONT WANT TO BRICK IT LIKE MY LAST ONE.
NEUVERITELNE
cao krajanku. A podarilo se Ti to? Ja bych kamosovi nerad jeho nove PSP znicil.
yes this ta-082 downgrader works and is confirmed by everyone pretty much. i have successfully downgraded to 1.50 and then upgraded to 3.02 OE-A -> 3.02 OE-B and now the ta-082 BRAND is just a memory!!
Hey empir3, I see u have done this successfully, could u by any chance give me step by step guidance as Ive only got my psp today, I am new to this.
well it’s working for everyone else but i can’t get it to work
Format your mem stick before you install it and make sure hen-d is enabled
