Hello World on ALL Firmwares — up to 3.03!
greg | January 25, 2007
Say whaaat? Just when you thought the PSP scene was dying… *BANG* — in your face Sony! The Noobz have discovered a user-mode exploit in all firmware versions — up to 3.03! What does this mean? Well they’ve stated on their site that a functioning downgrader should be ready within the week. Is that the answer you’re looking for? ;)
The vulnerability is exploited by using the original unpatched version of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (GTA:LCS). Remember that — it paved the path for the great eLoader!? The later version of GTA:LCS, the one you’ll find on shelves now, unfortunately will not work.
Moving forward; here’s how it’s used:
- Extract the files from the ZIP into the /PSP/SAVEDATA folder on your memory stick.
- Start GTA:LCS
Booyah!
The Noobz also have a useful FAQ on their site:
- Do I need GTA:LCS?
Yes, this requires an original unpatched version of GTA:LCS. Once the downgrader is released, you will only need to borrow an unpatched copy of GTA:LCS briefly to perform the downgrade.
- It didn’t work!
Verify that you have an unpatched copy of GTA. Only GTA:LCS UMDs that contain a copy of the 2.00 system update will work.
- It still didn’t work!
Having other GTA savegames on your memory stick can cause problems. Make a backup of your memory stick contents, reformat the memory stick, and copy only the files from the Goofy ZIP onto it. Restart the PSP and try again.
- Do we have access to kernel mode?
It’s a bit tricky, but yes, the kernel mode hole found by Team C+D still works from the Goofy exploit. The downgrader will use this to perform its magic.
- Should I upgrade to 3.03 in anticipation?
The downgrader will require 3.03, but you might want to wait until it comes out before upgrading, just in case!
- Will the downgrader work on all PSPs?
That’s the plan.
- Does this work on custom firmware?
If you’re already running a custom firmware, congratulations, you have no need for this. But the Hello World should still run if you’d like to see it in action.
Nice job guys.

(i used you thread to post at the top, soz if im not alowed)

It looks like the current 2.80 downgrader will probably work on v3.03, once we can run homebrew on that firmware
what happened here then, did noobz find it didnt work or have they forgoten they wrote this?
holy crap

i been watching since last november all the posts of homebrews and hoping that someday they would find another exploit for 2.81. Im really happy that soon there would be a 2.81 downgrader :”)
There won’t. It will be for 3.03. :D ;)

Sony is going to rush and patch this… and noobs will upgrade, its a never ending cycle, why bother trying to help those idiots… but good job, you guys are awesome
because itll take a month before the upgrade is on shop stock psps ;-)
wholl buy em? more to the point, will the shops upgrade their current 3.03’s for the newer upgrade? nope!
this is another few hundred thousand down/upgradeable psp at least.
I can so expect a new update…can you all say 3.04???
Jajajajajaja…
BTW… “J” is “H” in spanish for all you white pplz…
OMG Sweet this is the best news since 2.80 downgrader. have friends that want to experience homebrew but they upgraded to 2.82 LOLZ at them but will be great jajajaja hehe i learned something every day
=D
Thats true…
SUCCESS!
I have downgraded my 3.1 PSP to 2.6!!
I found out a way using music sheet files!!!And the 2.6 Eboot!!!
Now i am running 2.8 with my videos, and my xLOADER with shit loads of homebrew since i gota 4GiG
okie how were you able to downgrade your 3.1 psp to 2.6 =O, this is something i really need to know =P =]
bull shit
what a load of crap you need to get a life
holy freaking sh**….good freaking job guys.
Omg, R U guys Serious!? That’s CraZiNess! I bought a new psp and I came across this site a few months after i upgraded and sadly wasn’t able to do anything with my system, but I’ve been reading these forums and keepin up. I have been waiting for this… hopefully it’s not a rumor.
Keep up the great work.
so that exploit, we just do what the tutorial says, and thats it, we have our psp downgraded to 2.0???????????
does it matter which mainboard you have for this? anybody know?
according to the rumor should work on all but wait and see
no. you dont. it just showing you what can be done the downgrade is to follow
Noobz is a King among men….
Woohoo! Needed a time to resell my gta :)
Sweet Im amped. Good job guys
KEN DAWG WHAT ARE YOU A FUCKING MORON ?? A KING?? HES PROLLY A 12 YEAR OLD KID…. YOU PPL ARE FUCKING STUPID YOU ACT LIKE THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE…. WHOOPTIE FUCKING DOO
JESUS SAVES :p
Your an idiot.
Stay off this site please, we dont need your kind here. Some have been waiting for this and IT WILL change their life as the PSP is NOT the same without all the hombrew shit. So fuck off with ur jesus shit prick.
Amazing work from the guys at Noobz, the PSP community thanks you all.
I know i do.
;)
He might just be only 12 (although I’m pretty sure he’s in his 20’s), but at least he’s not a fictitous character, like what you praise.
actually, as far as i know, N00bz is a group of people, not just a single person.
and on the internet, age means nothing. it’s how much you know, and how you apply that knowledge that counts.
well said =D, i give you propz Dilligaf
o0o i believe this wen me shit turns purple and smells like rainbow shirbirt ( super troopers good movie go see it ) i always had faith in noobz yes my psp hacking buisness can go back into affect after this is released
God…the stupidity of people. This is NOT a downgrader….this is a fucking “hello world!” application, that writes a simple line of text saying “hello world” to demonstrate that code can be executed. They said to EXPECT a downgrader WITHIN A WEEK! It’ll most likely downgrade to 1.5, not 2.0.
Also, how in the hell does this make way for a downgrader? It’s a USER MODE access hack. You’ve got to unlock kernel mode as well first….
And finally, NOOBZ is the team that created ELoader (Fanjita, mat, and co.)
They’re not twelve-year-olds, and theyre not a single person…
[/informative rant]
your breaking a lot of pplz hearts, so y dont yu just get the fuck outta hear cuz no1 gives a fuck about what you say, you werent the one who made this hello world thing.. so dont act like you know all this shit.. im pretty shure noobz team no what they doing fuck face
great jobz noobz team :)
Team C+D already found a way to get full kernel access for higher firmware versions. It was just that they needed user mode access.
go fuck ur self u Systematic Suicide bitch, stupid fuck
okie we know hes a dumbfuck cuz he hasnt been able to read the article.. but just leave him alone, i think he feelz humiliated enuff =P
OMFG!!!!
Great news for all ya guys with higher firmware…….wanted to post it on ps3news.com and all i get in return was a permanent ban.
Nice one guys!!! :)
everybody get ready to expect the new psp firmwire 3.50. It has been anounced 2 days ago that Sony will be releasing their new psp firmwire update. Sony said that this will have a couploe of new features.One of the features is Obviously enhanced security.Sony also said that they will be adding psp search browser on the new 3.50.this is supposedly supposed to help your psp find anything on it. ( Pictures, photo, music, and etc.)But the security on this new firmwire is said to be really strong.Sony obviously didnt mension it.The new firmwire will be released around somewhre next week.
My advice to all you homebrew loving people is DONT UPGRADE.If you really want it, just wait for it to be decrypted.
Thats all the 411 I got for you.
PS. I am currently working on a psp sega saturn emulator.Its almost done.I just need to emulate the sound and make it go a little bit more faster.I also need to fix the intro on the emulator from freezing.It will take me at least 2 months for this to be done.Its a really cool emulator for the psp.I know you wiil all love it.
Piece out
Where’s my boots? The shit is getting deep.
Dude, that would be awesome. You wouldn’t mind sending me the eboot would you? I have plenty of ROMs to test it with.
And all you other guys, please read before you post.
1)This isn’t a downgrader, it is a hello world proof of concept
2)They said that kernal mode can be accessed, that means a downgrader soon
3)This isn’t rumors, if you want to see “Hello World” in action on your 3.03 psp, do what the article says.
this is amazing, after losing my psp i had to but my psp and got it used the store had already upgraded it to 3.01 and i was pissed i couldnt use homebrew -_- thanks alot guys i really appreciate the hard work you put into this
Hey! Dude Ur case is same with me..i gonna wait for da downgrade firmware too.. if relaesed let each other know ya? Thanks!
here comes fw 3.04 soon lol
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!
Never thought this would happen
Noobz is the greatest
Good Luck with the eloader/downgrader
when 3.04 or 3.1 comes out who ever upgrades should be shot in the face
that is all
the guy who should be shot in the face first is that DarkAlexSucks guy that was on here a while back. And I definately agree that whoever asks for a downgrader higher than 3.03 should be shot in the ass and then the face.
ahah your still holding a grudge against that faget
Thanks Noobz for making my GTA:LCS original UMD worth something once agian!! The only full game UMD I own.. hehe
If anyone wants to see my sega saturn emulato just contact me. I will send you the files and the source code just in case you want to edit my project.Its alled psp288ozzSaturN.The eboot is inside just in case you wanna try it out.It only runs on firmwire 1.50.I will try to make it run on older firmwire after I finish the project.
Pachito–email me the files (or a link) to crowtrobot1 AT junodotcom. I’m interested to see which games will run on it. (Dezaemon, hopefully…)

video of it in action on YOUTUBE.
FINALLY THEY DISCOVERED A USE FOR MY USELESS 3.02 TA 082 PSP =D
Then it isn’t exactly useless, now is it? :3
LOL.. stop making me feel bad =(.. it WAS useless compared to homebrew =P
Well this a good for all 2.81 users thank god i have 3.03 OE-C, i hope for you all 2.81 that dowgraders come in one week because when the hello world for 2.80 was released Ookm make a downgrader 5 months after the noobz hello world.
this is good news for more then just the 2.81 users this is good for everyone after the 2.81 useres up to 3.03 =P
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the downgrader will come soon cuz when they made hello world for 2.71 the downgrader came in a few days
omg, i had really almost given up and just sold my useless psp. but this, this makes me truly excited. i love this site! ive never messed with homebrew on psp yet. yes, i did see where it said that THIS app needed the GTA unpatched umd, my question is, in future apps, what do you guys think the chances are for an app to take advantage of this exploit from the game, and incoopertate it into an app somehow? yes, i am a cheap bastard and dont want to buy the gta game. mainly because i hate the gta series. would much rather spend that money on loco roco or somethin heh.. yea so, if anyone could reply to me, would be greatly appreciated, thanks! especially thanks to the Noobz!
does this work with ta082 version of psp, is not much matter to me because i already have 2 3.03oec.
i dont get it.. where do you get the moeny to buy so many pspz =| :P
I dunno bout u but I got 4 psps (2 for Deejaying and TV control, 1 for psp ISOs, 1 for PSX). Where the money comes from? Buying bricked psps for cheap and then swapping out the motherboards without ruining the Void Sticker.(Hair Dryer trick)
damn can you show me what this ” Hair Dryer Trick” is sometime soon.. anywayz i only got one psp..and thtas the problem im scared to do anything with it.. so when the downgrader comes i want a full report on how to downgrade =D
POOONED SONY GOT POOONED AGAIN. GOD BLESS THE N00BZ
