2.80 to 2.71 Downgrader Released
greg | January 2, 2007
Update: 0okm has released his downgrader to the public. If you know what you’re doing, and you’re willing to take the risk involved with downgrading/flashing, then go forth young Jedi — may the force be with you. Download below.
0okm has released a 2.80 to 2.71 downgrader for motherboard models TA-079 all the way through TA-086. Although in order to get a copy you’ll need to email 0okm requesting it — see source link below. Once retrieved, the steps are relatively straight forward:
- on FW1.50PSP:
Download PSARDumper
Download PSP FW2.71 Update EBOOT
Download PBP Unpacker
use PBP Unpacker to unpack FW2.71 EBOOT.PBP
copy FW2.71 DATA.PSAR to ms0:\
run PSARDumper on FW1.50PSP then press circle to dump encrypted without sigcheck and decrypted reboot.bin.”
to Dump “FW2.71 File” - on FW2.80PSP
Extract FW280DownDate2FW271.zip to ms0:\
check ms0:\F0 have 286 files and total size is 18,598,267 Bytes
PowerOff PSP to CleanReboot
Run xLoader on FW2.80PSP
then Run 2.71DDforTA-079~086FW2.80PSP
You can fetch xLoader here.
Once successfully downgraded you may proceed to FW 1.50 by using one of the supplied downgraders. TA-082 owners, ensure you use Dark_AleX’s TA-082 downgrader to avoid bricking your unit.
Perhaps we’ll see a public release in the near future.

nice for TA-082 owners! 1st post!
i thought people with first post comments were getting banned.
whats the point of it anyway.
well the 1st post had a comment and then he said 1st post. and why does it matter. does it bother you? i really don’t care when i see that stuff.
why 2.80 to 2.71? =D
because people with the TA-082 board can’t just downgrade straight to 1.5. They need to downgrade to 2.71 first to patch their system then run Dark_Alex’s new TA-082 downgrader.
yea first post. I cant wait to try
yepp…wikid!
this is sweet for people who, for what ever reason updated past 2.71 , although i can’t imagine what that reason would be….
Also i think it’s funny as DAX posted his downgrader, everybody and they’re brother wanted to smash 0okm. I really hope that some of those people were stuck on 2.80 (untill today)….
Another fantastic hack by 0okm.
Its not that people update past 2.71, Sony are selling them this way now with FW 2.80+
wtf kwel dude awesome
3.00 Downgrader on horizon I hope!!!
I wait…
is this working on psp 2.81?
I’m hoping for a 3.03 downgrader soon because it would solve most peoples problems because if people have 2.81 they could just update to 3.03 and downgrader and also just because i have 3.03.
yea they should 2.81 is a waste of time
COME ONNNNNNNNNNN..3.01 DOWNGRADER PLZ HURRY UP AND COME………
for the Ta-082 mother boards :P
Stop whining! Do something yourself instead!!
People like 0okm arent Santa Claus … or your Daddy and who will post a downgrader just because YOU waaaaant one.
It takes time out of their private life to find holes in the firmware to exploit before they can figure out just how to do it and FINALLY writing the downgrader AND testing it to verify that it wont brick your PSP, in the mean time all you little leeches can go and BUY the games you want to play!!!
okie calm your asss.. im not asking you to make it, dumbfuck.. all im saying is now that the 2.80 is done.. it shouldnt be that long before all the 3.XX are done cuz they were pretty much decrypted the next dai after its release
ok you know nothing about frimware..do you know why they actually make updates? so people don’t hack it and the higher the frimware the higher security.i see 3.XX downgrader in about a year at least
yeah i know thats true… but then what did it mean when they said that they were able to decrypt the 3.02 thing after it was relased?
dam y would enyone update to 3.xx, if you waited you woulden have gotton both
why do you automatically tell people to go buy games. you don’t know what there going to do. i come to psp-hacks.com for psp hacks. if you don’t like it then get the f*** out. you make me mad dude!
You shouldn’t have updated noobs i truly think u guys don’t deserve a downgrader
How would you know if your motherboard is TA-079-81 or TA-086
yu gotta check it.. open your umd drive and near the top of it where yousee your mother board there should be some writing.. if it sayz IC1003 (its gonna be upside down) then it means its a TA-082
does this work on a 2.81? Please post?
read the title…
2.80 to 2.71 Downgrader Released
it says…
2.80 not 2.81
james go suck a fat one, loads of people including me were wondering the anwser to that question because it dosent seem right that would make a downgrader for 2.80 and not the rest of the 2.8X series
come on and release it i need my psp to be strong come on where can i get it
i dont think it works on 2.81
good job 0okm way to prove your self once again
3.xx downgrade next please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3.03 downgrade please
Quit ur bitchass whining u shouldn’t have updated in the first place
Patience Grasshopper, Downgraders in due time… We had to wait almost a year before the 2.6 downgrader. I am waiting for a 2.81 myself (and only because I would like both my PSP’s Synced again to 1.50 with DH emulation but I did upgrade to play a game on the 2.8 firmware b4 it could be emued’ knowing My other PSP would remail 1.50
coool. Great for users of 2.80 to get a safer downgrade! Also for 2.80 TA-082 users as they can get to 1.5 once again!
why is this so private though?
Because there’s alot of douchebags out there who would try to bash him again, steal some paypal money or what not. I think he doesnt’ want the same thing that happened to him last time when he was trying to help out. It’s better if its private, so it could almost be a 1:1 or personal service, that’s like top quality service in a way.
where or when can i use this downgrade??????????????????????????
How about reading the post????

I KNOW HE ONLY SENT TO 10 TESTERS AND HE LIVES IN CHINA AND ITS NIGHT THERE SO HES PROBABLY SLEEPING BUT SOMEONE, MUST HAVE UPLOADED BTW I EMAILED 15 TIMES BEFORE HE CLOSED THAT ADDRESS
COOL DUDE.
15 TIMES?
FUCKING AWESOME, DURING THAT TIME I FUCKED MY GIRLFRIEND TWICE.
SWEET WASTE OF TIME.
ON YOUR PART.
CAPS RULE!!
shut up faggot.
good jo 0okm!
hey gud job man !!!
buh i need a downgrader for 3.xx it would be better of cuz den ppl can jus upgrade to it den downgrade rather than having 2.81,2.82 downgrade we can go straight to 3.xx
COOL your like the 10th person to say that
Why do you need to downgrade to 2.71 when ppl (including myself) already downgrading to 1.50 using the previous release of the 2.80 downgrader
For TA-082 users. They downgrade to this then use DAX’s downgrader to go to 1.5. Simple.
what is a psp motherboard??
Do all psps have motherboards
?
I have a regular psp 2.80.
I dont know whats a motherboard??
can I use this downgrader if I have a regular psp 2.80???
Google.com is your friend use it dude. try typing the same 1st question, and i gurantee that you find the answer on the first page. try using http://images.google.com, or ebay, and you will find a psp motherboard dude.
i stuck with 2.8, i dont want to downgrade it yet since some stupid people lost their charger so im like ill give u my charger in excahneg u trade me psp, they said it not update!!! then when i get it 2.XX->2.71->1.5!!!!
I have 2 questions…
Is it better to downgrade using the original 32mb memory stick? Or can I use de 2GB stick I bought for my 2.80?
And I only have the USB power supply.
If I charge my PSP to 100% and keep it connected in the USB supply mode (usb + power cord) will have the same effect as the usual power supply?
Sorry for the noob questions… but I am really affraid to brick my PSP. =)
Same effect as you have a real charger. I myself have flashed/downgraded psps from my laptop using the charger/usb cord. Works great, no chance in bricking or auto turn off. you can use the 32mb memory, but if u gonna do a update dumping, i rather use the 2gb stick. no need to format, just move the files to the computer. I did dumping with the 32mb stick, not a great success, cause some dumpers dont delete the eboot update that you have on there for dumping, then you dont have space when its dumping the last files, results in not a fully succesful dump. so use the 2gb and keep the usb and psp charged/plugged in and you be a top shape.
Use the 2GB stick. The 32MB stick is not large enough to hold DATA.PSAR and the unpacked files.
Whats the brick percetage?
brazilian, i sugest that you use the 2 gig couse if you have ot make a file such as a psar file you will have enouph space, i dontthink the original is even big enouph for a downgrader. and there is always a chance of a brick, but id rather brick and have an excuse to buy a 1.5 of ebay then stay with 2.8 anyway. but thats just my opinion
You have a good point there… 32mb may not have enough space for the entire downgrade.
But anyway… I will wait for some easy downgrade that is noob proof.
Noob… lol… yes… I admit…
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 2.81 downgrader you are still evading us daaaaaaaaammmnnnnnnnnn the 2.81 with ta-082 PSPs
I purchase a PSP 2.81 native, but im not sure that is TA-082, because i found the IC1003 on the right side of the UMD drive hole, but im also find the number IC1006 also, still TA-082? Somebody can help me on this.
isnt it better to wait for an easy downgrader of this? that way u cant fudge it up and like the downgrader will check crc sizes and stuff , make sure files are present.. blah and mo blah :)
ahem… ur all retarded.
Sweet
God… Seems like Sony has been geting raped over the past few weeks
2.80 and below all have a ‘kernel mode’ exploit through lbtiff, etc… 2.81 and above do NOT, thus no downgraders…
2.81 and above are probably effed as all the available exploits have been patched.
All of us with 2.81 and above will just have to pray and wait.
Sucks, but keep checking http://www.psp-hacks.com
Hoobidy hoo blahhh! I really hope some of u pathetic loosers end up wit a brick… Haha :D Also i hope they start to make games that can detect if your psp has had its firmware modified/Check MS for Devhook ect ect N Erase the flash on ur psp’s, Teach u mutherfuckers a lesson u aint gona forget… N u deserve it…Piracy is theft! If u aint gona pay u should’nt play.
beanman… you’re so cool… when I grow up I want to be just like you!
Haha… Well if you actually go out an buy you’re games then maybe… Otherwise you dont stand a chance matey ; )
got a 3.00+ and cant play with the big boys… sad
I go out n buy my games cos am not poor like the majority of u lot who have 2 download them…
Oh yeah, Another thing… U might like 2 play with the boys, Probly cos ur a faggot, I’d rather play wit the women :P
Dude! WTF? You really think that we buy your bushel of BS. You wouldn’t be here if you didn’t at least use homebrew. Chances are that you do more than that. This site would not concern you if you didn’t at least use homebrew! So whom exactly are you talking to?
What makes you think that just because somebody wants a downgrader that they are going to use pirated software. That is kind of ignorant is it not? They have had to buy or rent their games until now so who says that they will not continue to do so.
PSP-HACKS is a great site that is far more than just a source for loading illegal iso’s. There are many homebrew games, apps, and emulators hosted on this site. Some are useless, some are extremely useful, but all of them are good for the scene and the future of it.
Please do not act like a fool it only makes you look ignorant. We are not dumb enough to think that you just stumbled upon this page by accident and thought you should save the world one group of pirates at a time. Grow up, get real, and stop being a d**k.
I’m out!
I wear diapers to school and i poop in them and when Go to the mall my mommy brings me with her to the the bathroom then puts me on the changing and puts a fresh sized 7 pamper diaper on. and im 12
thats great bab LOL
beanman & ookm are both GHEY!!!
Oh GOD DAM IT! I upgraded to 2.81 and then next day a frikkin downgrader comes out for TA-086 2.80 mother boards! gah!
it is work this downgrader??
Yes, it takes some work to get it on your psp.
nice job guys! keep up the good work
NOW ON TO BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS!!! 3.0!!!!
Go here and look through the posts. You never know, something might show up in one of my posts. ;)

Oh GOD DAM IT! I upgraded to 2.81 and then next day a frikkin downgrader comes out for TA-086 2.80 mother boards! gah!
why did you upgrade to 2.81
Something about ookm really gets my goat
Well mine got bricked.. my fault though. Wrong dump was used. Oh well. Off to walmart i go :|
Do the hairdryer trick on the void sticker to get the screws out, and then switch the motherboards, and then try to return the bricked one to walmart (if you can actually carefully peel the void sticker off just to get the screws out without messing up….use a needle to peel it)
hackers suck if hack your psp it will brick and i hope it happens UPDATE YOUR PSP TO version 3.03
I bricked my psp and i sent it to sony and they fixed it for $80.
just tell them you were playing the PSP and it overheated or something. they slap on a new MoBo and off it goes.
» OOKM = A$$HAT
OOkm is a joke if you ask me…
Seems like he just wants everyone to bow to him and suck his e-peni$…
NO PUBLIC RELEASE FOR YOU NOOBS, you have to BEG ME FOR IT!!!
Pathetic.
It’s been rumored he runs a DG shop in China. (CHARGING to downgrade PSP’s and SWEARING UP AND DOWN about the impossibility of a TA-82 softdown)
I’m glad he can no longer bank off the misfortune of those with TA-82’s thanks to Dark-AleX!!
I even heard Ookm went as far as to say DAX’s DG’er was FAKE when first released.
OOKM = GREEDY TROLL
He wouldn’t give anything away if he didn’t have to, to get his name out. Yeah ALL DEVS spend their time and effort, but the scene has NEVER been about making money cracking code…..
If OOKM had his way you’d all be PAYING HIM for the downgrader.
He’s only releasing (not really!) this because he got str8 EMBARRASSED last week when Dark_Alex spread PWNSAUCE all over his FACE!
OOKM is a skidmark in the underpants of the scene. (zing?)
so to re-cap…
Dark_Alex – 10 Ookm – 0
DAX FTW!!!!!!
-BUTTA
1.5 -> 2.0 -> 1.5 -> 2.6 -> 1.5 -> 3.02eo-b -> 1.5 -> 3.02eo-b
now wtf was the point of that.. who gives a fuck if yu have to begg for the fuckin downgrader.. lets see you do any better you fuckin peice of shit.. OOKM can be all he wants to be, but hes able to do shit that many others cannot.. he realesd a fuckin downgrader for 2.80 and it works on ta-082 motherboards.. so theres no point of tlakin shit about him.. man you fagz make no sense, just shut the fuck up cuz your making your self look stupid niggah
Ookm just released it to the public. You can get it from his blog.
Strange that it was only a few hours after it was leaked that he decided to release it to everyone.
Eh, seems like the usual supply and demand =P
it has now been released to the public, use with caution and only if you know what your doing, the warnings are there.
here is the link to the blog where you can download the downgrader http://0okm.blogspot.com/2007/01/fw280-downdate-to-fw271-for-ta-079086_02.html#comments
enjoy.

I NEED 2.81 DG
2.81 is stupid upgrade to 3.xx
This is pretty cool! But I think I’d just dg to 1.5 and then emulate 3.02 OE-B or whatever it is lol.
guys get a ds lite itz wayyyyyyyy better
I have a PSP with FW 2.80 and its not TA-082 motherboard. It has no number inside the UMD drive on the top right hand corner. Has anyone tested the downgrade with sucess? what would be the risk ratio of bricking your psp?
this downgrader is for psp motherboard TA-079 to TA-086. you can give it a try.. but try at you own risk!!!!
i always say that u r coollllllllllll
people will always say MAKE ONE YOURSELF when you critisize a (I use the term loosely) developer like OOKM but these people are just peons spewing the sh|t they’ve seen others post…. truth is they are just continuing to suck the developers peni$ so someone-ANYONE will like them. =P
well sony has once again been oraly raped |:
congrats :]
I want to thank you and to all devs for their hard vork. THANK YOU FOR FREEDOM.
hope remains i guess, looks like everyone with 2.80 and lowerr is getting homebrew lets hope they crack 3.00 soon
please just skip the 2.81 and make a 3.xx downgraders
wtf do i do with rar files?
and also how do u use pbp unpacker?
well i bricked mine, my fault, i didn’t use the right dump, i was kinda intoxicated, word of advise do not mess with your psp while intoxicated!!!!!!!!! IT SUX!!!! I somehow diwnloaded the other 2.8 downgrader and tried to use the dump for this downgrader for the old downdater.
this is great work once you have 1.5 keep it as far as 3.3 being downgraded who knows it can happen but probably not anytime soon so I suggest you try to find a 1.5 psp or at least a 2.71 which then can be downgraded. I mean sure psp iso’s are great but playing ps1 games is even greater via dark alex’s custom firmware
Is 0okm retarded? a week ago he was saying no 82’s could softdown, then he says they can but cant run eboots, now he releases a soft 82 downgrader.
is he retarded or just high?
could be a combination of both. i think he did this to prove everyone that dark_alex isnt the only one with some crazy shit up his sleeve.
Cool!!! Great Work 0okm. U and Dark_Alex is the best.!! All Ta-082 user will love u both alot. You really give the Ta-082 users to have the chance to see rainbow !!! i grateful to both of u. i had downgrade my psp Ta-082 Fw2.71 –> Fw1.50 –> FW3.02OE-B.i also Successfully help my frenz to downgrade. Hope both of you will keep on moving to try helping those who had upgrade to Fw3.03 users !!!
We love you 0okm and Dark_Alex
where do i get the 2.71 bin files cause i dont have a 1 point 5 psp to dump them
Hi
I just bought a PSP 2.8 TA-082 and was extremly happy to see that it already was downgradable. I just have one Question. Do you need two PSPs in order to downgrade – or is it me who is reading the instructions wrong ??
Thank you in advance !
Hi too all u psp peepz. I know it mite be a nob question but when u have downgraded from 2.8 please send me an email on fikker-not@hotmail.com. I am really scared i dont bring my psp :’(
if u have a psp woth out the new mother board can u still use this i wanna do this for my idiot friend who upgraded pass 2.71 im usin 3.02oe-b
( sweet )
here’s my problem :if my PSP has a version of 2.80 and hasn’t a TA-….. motherboard.
1 question
Can i downgrade??????
Please e-mail me to bassem884@hotmail.com
so my buddy has TA-082 running 2.8FW and i want to help him downgrade but i cant do the 1.5 PSAR dump because i am running 3.02OE-B. has anyone used this and kept the dump? or know where i can find the proper one so it doesnt brick?
ANY IDEAS ABOUT WHEN THE 3.03 DOWN GRADER WILL APPEAR, I HAVE THE 3.03??????????????
Is anyone actually working on a 3.03 downgrader right now? How long is it going to take for someone to find a kernal access point for the 3.03. i have a strange feeling im going to be stuck in 3.03 for a whole year
correction. 3 years.
good job 0okm!
How would you know if its 3 years? You don’t make the hacks so don’t assume things you gay fag!
YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS
DIS SHYT WORKS
I COULD SMELL DA 1.50 CUMIN CLOSER TO MY PSP
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it might not be 3 years for a 3.XX dowgrader, it could be sooner could be later could quite also be never no one knows and no one really has any idea of when one could come out. Good job on the downgrader
only stupid people who upgrade to version 3.XX gave up hope one their PSP, just wait dont upgrade anymore your just making your time longer for a downgrade
@walastik Don’t try and put people with fw 3.03 off. Maybe just because you got a lower firmware doesn’t mean you have to be harsh to people who have 3.03.
video at youtube.coom/edderpsp2000
WTF???! it has been more than 2 weeks till now on the release of the 2.80 downgrader !!! WHEN DA HELL R THEY GONNA RELEASE THE 2.82 DOWNGRADER ?! i mean these 2 versions are so close !! SHIIIIT !! fuck 2.80 !!
Dude, calm down a little bit.
When I first bought my PSP it had version 1.5. I was really ignorant and had no idea what homebrew even was. It was then that I upgraded to 1.52. Little did I know how big a mistake I had actually made.
Basically to make a long story short I had to wait for version 2 to be released by $ony, someone to decrypt it, and for a usable downgrader to be released before I could downgrade. I WAS ONLY @ 1.52 WHICH IS VERY CLOSE NUMERICALLY TO 1.5. Only it wasn’t that close! It may only be one patched exploit but then someone will need to try to find another. That takes time! Sometimes a lot of time. There may not be a downgrader for 2.82 until they find an exploit that allows kernel access in v3.0 nobody really knows.
So chill out man and stop thinking that just because 2.80 and 2.82 are close in numerical order that they are close in code. Just remember this bit of info. The slighter the change in version number, the better the chance that it was only to patch an exploit.
Also the only way to keep up with $ony is to keep them guessing what we already know about. If we find an exploit there is a chance that they may not know that it exists. That is a perfect opportunity to sit back and see what they do with future firmware versions while possibly leaving a gaping hole for us to climb into. Why let them know all that we know? That would be like asking them to fix a particular exploit directly. Not a very wise choice, IMHO.
Calm down and be patient. Most likely you will someday have the downgrader that you hope for. Until then you can always find a game rental service through the mail or locally that will keep you playing a bunch of new games without ever buying one. I can play ISO’s yet I still have a continuous rental agreement through a local store.
I hope I have been helpful!
I’m Out!
calm down asshole
Would you be speaking to me?
I know i am being noobish but plz tell me does it work or not
will this work on a ta-82 2.60?
