Easy 2.80 to 2.71 Downgrader
greg | January 3, 2007
Exactly two posts down you’ll notice 0okm’s 2.80 -> 2.71 downgrader for TA-079 to TA-086 pcb’s. With many reported successes we now have an Easy Downgrader courtesy of ~maniac~ from Klm Software.
Simply connect your PSP to an available USB port and run the supplied Windows executable. All the required downdater files will be copied to the correct location on your memory stick.
Simplified instructions:
- Install xLoader
- Install DownDater
- Start xLoader
- Run DownDate
- Pray
Download:
Easy 2.80 to 2.71 Downgrader (for TA-079–TA-086)
eLoader 0.995 (xLoader included)
- source: KlmSoftware
great release
so how do u downgrade?
read the instructions
this made my psp blow up and the shards of plastic killed my dog :(
that looks way better than watching a cat getting microwaved.
Man with all these grat programs comming out I might go out and get me ta-082 psp. I put 3.02oe-b on my nephew’s ta-082 psp last week I was so jealous (my analog is always thinks its pressing left for reason) Great job opening up the scene to all new audiences !!!!! You guys know who you are that rules!!
My psp does tht aswell.
So anoying specially in racing games and even more so in gta.
we will need to find some way of stoping it.
I think the faceplate isnt attached properly or has been damaged and i think it is a generic problem cause my pals does it as well.
i like how praying is part of the instructions.
Hey, sometimes it does get you somewhere at least to pray, there is a golden psp and then there’s the psp gods. =]
man i saw this thing on qj.net like 4 hours ago this website takes too long to update
nahh, i think psp-hacks.com just wants to make sure everything is safe before they post
exactly. I was actually in communication with the author because they specify TA-082–TA-086, when it’s in fact TA-079 to TA-086 compatible. And I’m also not around the computer 24/7 to immediately post such updates. So, like the guy below says, go elsewhere if you don’t like it.
Greg you Rock! hehehe! Some people just don’t appreciate whatever other do.
aww too bad you dont like how long it takes…go to a different website then. good downgrader i like the pray part
hey greg… I was intalling it and noticed the TA-082 to TA-086… my PSP is a TA-081. Will this downgrade work for it?
Thanks…
according to 0okm it should — it’s his downgrader, and that’s what it says. Of course it’s use at your own risk. However, there are other downgraders available for you I’m sure… http://www.psp-hacks.com/category/35
by the way, how do u know if you’re psp is ta-081?
Yep… thanks for your repply.
But the other ‘easy downgrader’ had a lot of ‘bricked’ PSP. Right? I know it is a low percentage. But there were a risk of briking.
As so, I was waiting for another easy downgrader… a safe one.
Noob… I know… =)
there’s always a risk in bricking when writing to flash :)
Look mate i have used tht easy downgrader 4 times now! i have done it 2 mine, my bros and 2 of my friends. Sometimes it takes ages to start and u have to turn on and off several times but if u have a non ta-082 i would definatly recomend using it.
also if u load a game or somit then go back to the xmb it will work.
& once i have to remove a battery to do it.
Shouldnt brick it mate.
Have faith
i have fmw 3.01 fuck!!!!!!!
The last question Greg…
Its safer to use the original 32mb memory stick or to use my random 2gb?
Thanks for your patience… =)
i don’t think it’s a matter of which is safer… i’d use the 2gb — more space to work with.
Hi i was wondering does it matter if the memory stick is changed. shouldn’t it make no difference if u change it.
if u mean start the process on one psp pull out da memory card and stick in another.
then i wouldnt do it.
everything usually fits on the standard 32mb card. so just delete some stuff and do it.
doesnt work? reformat and start again.
Maybe soon they’ll have 2.81 downgrader.
yea this would be really usful cause i was brought i pink psp (ta-086 i believe) but it had 2.81 factory on it so i couldnt do anything with it!
Then again if u upgraded it ur own fault.
We need an exploit done we?
Also we should see if Dark Alex can set about a way to upgrade to 3.02OE. That would be good.
Some clearifications:
This just makes it easier to use 0okm’s downdater
It will work on PSPs with ALL Motherboards BUT must have Firmware 2.80
I submitted this app to PSP Hacks much LATER than to QJ.net
I have tested this on 2 PSPs and QJ.net’s Vincent has tested it on his. Every time it was tested, it worked.
hi guys i was wondering im at 1.5 and then i went up to 3.2oe-b can you run all kind of home brew application. and can u please suggest me something cool i can do cause i dont know what to do now.
just get some homebrew from under downloads in this site…try some emulators if you have downloaded the roms or vector infector is pretty good…just put it into GAME150 folder which you need to create and this folder should be located in the same directory as you find GAME and GAME270 i believe…enjoy!
-edit-
next time try to post on the forum for that app not this one
From 3.02oe-b u can run any homebrew!
Something cool would be to get a ps1 game on it.
Can do tht no problem.
Need help with it search this site. Or google psp-stuff.
3rd entry on the list and ur sorted.
Enjoy
There are many benefits to upgrading to OE
firmware. here are some:
-Use of your own Playstation 1 Games on the PSP (aka popstation)
-PS3 Connectivity
-Custom PRX loading
-Downgrade whenever you feel like it
-Homebrew using the 1.5 Kernel
-Homebrew using the 3.02 Kernel (only 1 or 2 so far)
-Web Browser, RSS and Location Free Player
Here is a link to the custom PRX compatibility thread for 3.02 OE:
http://forums.qj.net/f-psp-firmware-discussion-253/t-se-c-prx-loading-compatibility-thread-80310.html
is their a new wab chager to rename the firmware 1.5 to say its 3.03 to stop accidental fw upgrades ?
so how many sucessful downgrade?
around 85% success rate. The noobs that bricked switched off their psp before the process finished.
remember, i didn’t write the downgrader, 0okm did. I only wrote the easy installer
My system version is 2.71 and my motherboard in the umd says ic-1003. Is this version PSP downgradeable with this software? Thanks noob
no, use dark alex’s downgrader. here:
http://www.dark-alex.org/
Thanks maniac much appreciated. It says to “Get the official sony 1.50 eboot and put it in the /PSP/GAME/UPDATE folder with the name of
UPDATE.PBP” Where do I find this file?

Maniac man u been a big help a big heads up to u man thanks u so much.
no prob :)
glad to help
I Totally Love the Praying Part!! ;) Hey Super nice work there. (just randomly asking what’s the point of downgrading to 2.71, When you can just downgrade to 1.50… If you later Emulate to 3.02 OE-B which so far is the best Version for Homebrew) ??? Just randomly saying it.
Cause everything I’ve tryed of Homebrew Stuff, Emulators, PSP Iso’s and PSX .. everything works fine (From downgrading 2.80 - 1.50 - 3.02 OE-B ) sooo… whats the diffrence having 2.71 ??
Still its a really Kick Ass Thing what all you gusy are making Super Cheer Ups!!! And yes also good help for the Noobs.
because TA~082 and 086 can’t run 1.50.
The only way it can is to use DAXs 2.71-1.5 downgrader.
I am a complete “newb” to PSP hacks/exploits and homebrew, and pulled off the downgrade fairly successfully. I can confirm 100% that this package does work, as I have successfully downgraded my one and only TA-082 with Firmware 2.80, down to Firmare 2.71.
now, go to:
http://www.dark-alex.org
and download both the 2.71 downgrader and the 3.02 OE-A, (not rev b)
first run the second downgrader, then follow the instructions to get to OE-A
Once at OE-A, upgrade to OE-B (rev b) from DAX’s Site.
Good luck!
CONFIRMED SUCCESS! I am now running FW1.50 on my TA-082 PSP. When I get the time later, I will procede to OE-A and OE-B. :)
good job :)
the diference is psp TA-082 can downgrade to 2.80 2.71 and then 1.50 3.02OE-B thas it and for the others motherboards you can do it with the 2.80 to 1.50
i feel sorry for u people the psp is boring ds lite is better
Then y r u on a PSP hacking site?!?!?!
cause i wanna c how ur little dumb psp is still livin..the ds has better games
you probally an imature kid who still like all those gay pokemon games. The psp mainly attracks older gamers, and thus saying that the ds is more for younger kids
everyone get the ds it has better graphics
The psp is way better, i have a ds lite too and its not any where close to as good as the psp, and by the way i started hacking 2005 when i was 13 =)
DS SUCKS! …i cant wait to get my son’s 2.80 psp so i can use this to go 2.80-2.71-1.50-3.02oeA-3.02oeB like i did mine!!!
nice…
sooo….
…. you know what i’m about to say
….when is the 3.0 downgrade coming out??
possibly never
sorry, but u should have never upgraded
later this year
people said 2.80-1.5 was impossible.
they said NEVER 1.5 dg’d ta-082s!!!
just wait and dont upgrade further!!!
i cant wait for a downgrade
hey I know this has nothing to do with anything here, but I think its a great idea and someone should try working on it.
has anyone ever thought about making a ported version of LIMEWIRE for the PSP, or any torrent type app?
wouldn’t work cause the PSP has a slow network transfer rate. It can download at a max of about 20kbps (my approximation from experience)
as slow as that may be, it’s still something to look into. especially for those of us who would rather have total anonymity when searching for some of those ever elusive GBA bios files, or keys.bin…
those files are pretty small anyway, so I’m sure transfer rates wont matter
Go to a proxy site or take a laptop to a starbucks.
hey this has nothing to do with downgrader but i was downloading 2.0 and it seemed like my psp froze so i took the battery out and now when i tyr to play it the green light only comes on for 45 seconds then shuts off again. the screen stays black. does anyone know whats wrong plz tell me if you do.
ya, it brick dude try to return it and say that it doesnt work when i turn it on.
its bricked
hey what does that mean
means ur PSPs dead. call sony and tell them the story bet say u were upgrading the firmware, it crashed so u took out the battery.
Better Idea SMACH it… i bet u it will work again.. I’ve smashed miens many tiems ut does that, and believe me take out teh memory card, hit the PSP(in the Back… trun it on… Hold agian teh power button(to turn it off , then hit it again.put back up the memory Stick, take off teh batery, put it back on, (open the UMD lid( turn it on… it suppose to COme back to Life.
if not yeah you guessed it… Take it back(its smashed u should definately get a Refund ajajaj) But well for my PSP(is one of teh originals.. it works for me the Smashing Fixing Brick thing. ;)
i would greatly appreciate it if someone would wright back
what does that m,ean its bricked?
it means ur psp is an entertaining as a brick
ur psp is gone forever meaning its useless
its broken u cant do anythin try returnin it and say it didnt work
it means its an unfunctional piece of garbage :D
where do i return it i bought it off ebay
sorry lol not exactly a psp expert
lmao
you probally cant
did you buy it off someone or a store?
could i take it to hastings
just buy 1 at wal-wart and return the broken one and say it never started up and ull get ur money back with a brand new psp.. lol thats what i did
bought it off some one
could i put it in my bros psp box with the directions and stuff with out a reciet and they would exchange it?
exchange it where?
yeah i oculd do that think i will
so that means i get a free psp plus money back plus another better brandnew one
and next time your in a downgrading process dont take the battery out
