PSP 3.50 Firmware Downgrader!

greg | June 26, 2007

It’s here — the PSP 3.50 downgrader! All thanks to Noobz and the Illuminati! No time for chitter-chatter…

Requirements:

  • A PSP running Sony’s official 3.50 firmware (click here to download & upgrade). It’s recommended you set the PSP language to English.
  • A legal UMD copy of Lumines, either US (ULUS10002) or EU (ULES00043) works.
  • Must be literate — you need to follow instructions carefully! Those are detailed in the 3.50 Downgrader Package below. See “Downgrader_HOWTO.txt.”

But! Before you start, some important notes:

If you have a TA082+ motherboard and you downgrade to 1.50, currently you will be unable to upgrade to 3.30+ Sony firmware. This is due to Sony blocking updates when the PSP has been modified to run 1.50. There will be an application released later which will allow users to revert the changes. If you are using a TA082 motherboard then I would suggest just using 1.50 or OE until an application is released.

DOWNGRADE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

I was reading about this on MaxConsole’s forums before it appeared on this website. Its amazing to look back on the feet these people have accomplished, to the simplest hacks to run code on 1.5, to the GTA hack on the 2.5, 2.6 versions, and now 3.5 kernel hack on lumines. I know i left out the other ones on 2.0, 2.1, 2.71, 2.8, 3.0x downgraders because they are all good, but just think about it everyone. The PSP community is beating Sony in this race badly O.o.

Comment by Haxxorr

Never going to happen..well never say never..but its highly doubted it will ever get released..the only one that ever even booted JUST BOOTED an ISO was bought out by sony..all the code and everything..bought out..so ur out of luck for now..unless it gets leaked

I would if it meant being able to play my legally backed up games.

Comment by BrendanL
2007-07-01 17:12:06

The PS3 ISO loader is useless. I mean, just say if you do manage to get a fully working PS3 ISO loader, it’s still useless. How are you going to fit a game which takes up several gigabytes? What are you going to do? Buy several hard drives? That would be plain stupid. Might as well just buy the games.

Thanks lords of Noobz

 
Comment by Newbie
2007-06-26 20:12:30

So does this downgrader works in TA-082 boards? did someone try it already??

Can someone explain me this part:

If you have a TA082+ motherboard and you downgrade to 1.50, currently you will be unable to upgrade to 3.30+ Sony firmware. This is due to Sony blocking updates when the PSP has been modified to run 1.50. There will be an application released later which will allow users to revert the changes. If you are using a TA082 motherboard then I would suggest just using 1.50 or OE until an application is released.

Does it mean that after successfully downgrading your 3.50 TA-082 PSP to 1.5, You cant anymore update your PSP to 3.30+ Official Sony PSP Firmwares?? Why would you want to go back to 3.30+ official sony firmware??? I still dont get the extra Note.

Thanks and more Power to Noobz and other hackers like Dark Alex

Comment by Bailey
2007-06-26 20:21:02

That’s correct, can’t update to official 3.30+ fw, don’t know why anyone would want to either, i mean even if there was something killer in the latest fw you desperately needed, dax would do it in his latest oe firmware anyway.

 
Comment by petervaz
2007-06-26 20:21:52

If you used IdStorageChange in the past you can´t upgrade to Sony 3.50 because Sony sucks that much. If you did that and got Sony´s 3.10 after that, you are stuck on it because you can´t upgrade nor downgrade and this specific downgrade requires 3.5
Got it now?

Comment by Newbie
2007-06-26 20:33:47

Kinda no, sorry really a newbie here. Whats IdStorageChange??

I have another psp and its firmware 3.30 TA-082 factory default. Do i have to upgrade to 3.50 then use this downgrader or just proceed to downgrade? Anybody has successfully downgrade?

Thanks Petervaz for your reply, really appreciate it.

Just so you all know…. Walmart and Best Buy have pulled Lumines off the shelf due to this exploit. I was able to find copies of Lumines at a place called Movie Trading Company. Its a New/Used/Trade type place. Sony has already contacted its distributors and told them to yank the game from their shelves.

Yeah! this is the part when living in mexico it’s really cool!! Here people sell Lumines in flea marquets for 9.99 dlls!! haha most of the people in mexico just buy their PSPs with Fifa 06 or 07 and do nothing about the other games… So it’s really easy to find games like Lumines here… A LOT!!

I allready have my psp on 3.40 OE-A, but guys! if you have any cousin, uncle or any kind of known person in mexico, ASK THEM FOR IT! :) I swear that here they would never even pull it out from the normal stores

So I downgraded to 1.50, and was running smooth. Then all of a sudden i restarted my psp (not the first time) and now the sound comes on but the screen is blank. I sat it down for a bit and the screen comes on, then, right when i press a button it goes off again. Any ideas ?

Yeah but you don’t know if you might need it again in the future for something else, say you lose your psp next month or you drop it and break it or something. Go out to the store, buy a new one and then you would need Lumines to get back to Custom Firmware again.

Comment by shadowmage
2007-06-27 13:01:08

I don’t think so. Sony has patched the PSP firmware so many times that the Noobz had to find another game to exploit. GTA LCS won’t wotk anymore. This downgrader is made for use with Lumines only.

It’s about time. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time! But I don’t have Lumines, so I’ll have to get a copy soon. Too bad Sony is going to release downgrade proof PSPs after FW 4.00. Now Noobz will have to find methods for 3 kinds of PSPs!

That time I’m begging from all the pll around world to rent me or sell me the gta lcs umd for downgrade purpose. In the end, no one helping me but only give d lame words, scamming feedback, all the answer that i don need. Just like some of u…..only idotic flamer. I’m just reflect my time….. Lastly, I don care what will happen to my Lumines UMD’s Original. I just wan to help. Action is more important than sympathized then flaming, selling (unreasonable price) and doubt abt other peole kindness. So…. for the flamers… y don u guys contribute too…or just shut up n get hell out of here. Stupid..baka

This is nice, I actually just bought a new PSP, and lumines (of all games) at the same time, and then realized that it’s the game I needed to downgrade :P

Even more humorous is the blurb on the back, “…the best game on the PSP already!” heh, yea.

Keep us updated, for when that patch comes out… I want the newest OE when its released.

Comment by ccc123
2007-06-30 10:23:23

Hey Newbie, if your problem is not solved, make sure you have the recovery folder on your memory stick. Then hard restart the psp, and when you load it up, hold down the R shoulder. A screen should come up, look through all the options and only change the “NO UMD”. Change so that no-umd is set to on. This will allow ISO’s to be played without UMDs thus saving battery. Some games may still need the UMD though.

My friend who is a little disgruntled with having bricked one of his PSPs refuses to use his other PSP anymore, and he just gave me his GTA:LCS. It was purchased at launch and is unpatched. I was wondering if this game is able to downgrade all the same firmwares the Lumines game does or if it’s been rendered somewhat inferior. I only have the Japanese Lumines and they haven’t released a downgrader for it.

Comment by Dj Dumbi
2007-06-30 07:39:36

Nope GTA is rendered useless for this downgrade this time around. Because the down grade works with the exploit in Lumines, and not the exploit in GTA LCS. Because that exploit from GTA LS already has been patched waaay back. And sony I believe has patched it about 2 times already, and including the patched GTA. Hold on and wait just a little bit longer, the Jap version MAY somehow come out. Don’t get too excited, just have good intentions and patience, and hopefully the Lumines jap downgrader file will come. (Hopefully).

Everething fine but can anyone tell me if any version of Lumines will work with downgrading? As everybody remember not long time ago we had GTA Liberty city and to be able to downgrade you have to had game with update below 2.60. Is it now the same with Lumines or any version will work?
Thanks guys.
