TA-082 Downgrader Released!

Posted by greg

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.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

    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.

    so, lemme get this straight, this downgrader can make the TA-082 function like a normal PSP?

    Comment by _kD
    2006-12-27 16:57:34

    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

    2006-12-27 13:34:03

    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

    Comment by kin9
    2006-12-27 14:06:02

    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?

    2006-12-27 13:35:48

    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”

    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”.

    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.

    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

    Comment by T-Sar-Goth
    2006-12-27 22:58:20

    If it’s 2.81 then it may be a TA-086… I’d suggest checking the box code to confirm it.

    after your running hen d do you have to use the devhook to emulate 1.50 before running idstorage?

    Comment by Rat
    2006-12-27 16:59:12

    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.

    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.

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!

    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!!

    Format your mem stick before you install it and make sure hen-d is enabled
