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!

in your ass
Watch the downgrader in action
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hPTkegVo5w
COOOOL.. but not cool enough till the complete patch is released!
nice work guys…. so try to patch it without lumines umd ;) and all guys who doesn´t have it are lucky guys too
umm i got a psp with 3.90 ..can i downgrade that o-o?
I knew it wouldnt be long.
Now all we need is Deadalus R12.
you got it
well its out lol
what exactly is dadelous R12???
Daedalus R12 is the emulator.
wow!!! n00bz….YOU have done it again!!!!
How do you confuse a Gaylord?
4!
Ha
btw ive got a walnut and im not afraid to eat it!
Sweet, I was just talking about this with my friend :)
Wow, awesome news, no more reading in bed for my girlfriend and i lolz :p Sexy wireless time.
Congrats to everyone on 3.50!
Great Job Noobz !! i knew it this day will come.. u rox man.. thank alot of helping all poor user who stuck in 3.10 to 3.50
Brilliant news to all those who want to downgrade but oreviously couldn’t.
Well done Noobz!
holy crap!!!!!!!!!!! now i can downgrade my japanese gold psp i got, this is so awsome! thank you so much team noobz take that sony! xD
what is the difference between DevHook Supported 1.62 IE-D Update2 and Custom Firmware 3.40 OE? what does each offer, and which is better?
3.40 OE all the way!
The highest you can go right now is 3.10 OE.
Are you dumb!? 3.40 OE-A is the highest you FUCKIN SHIT!!! DIEE BITCH!!! jks man jks..but just dont be so fuckin dumb ok..fuckin noobs these days..they get gayer..and perhaps stupider as life goes on..but I was a noob once..way back in the day..
You don’t know me very well do you?
Check the forums ;)
I just misread lol.Got my sister’s PSP running 3.40 OE
think im gonna cum
lol
wow. dude. well its about damn time.
Damn RIGHT!
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.
Sweet. Now we need the PS3 Iso Loader………
Cant wait
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 wouldn’t mess with something that cost me $600
I would if it meant being able to play my legally backed up games.
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.
Unzip the 1.50 update to a temporary folder
wheres the 1.50 update at i cant see it
oops – added dl link to the post. :)
Ohh yeah PS3 ISO loader. That’ll be leet then ill consider buying it
godness gracious me..
more like *goodness..
Awesome news! Can anyone confirm that this works? I already have a 1.5 PSP, but hope to help friends. I still got to buy Lumines. I found out that I had Lumines 2 not Part 1. Ugh! :-)
how could u not know u had Lumines I??? on the front of LUMINES 2 theres a big sign that says II haha but yess it works haha ive seen it done more times than i can count..i just need a copy :) haha
Sorry guys I can’t understand this one! you mean I can use my lumines II to downgrade my 3.50 to 1.50?
So anyone tested this already besides the noobz and does this downgrade to 1.50 all the way without prob? Cause if thats the case then noobs have acomplished a great success..
yes i juss got done downgrading i downloaded it from noobz.eu b4 it was posted on here that it downgraded it fast as hell 2
sa-weet! nice job, somebody pay these guys. did you say sony is blocking patched TA 082 boards from upgrading? sneaky bastards :p
3.50 oe-a?plz
WOW! it worked. Im from 3.40 to 1.50 (yeah!!! emulatioooonnnnnn!!!!)
Thanks lords of Noobz
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
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.
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?
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.
If Sony sucks, u wont even get to taste psp. Next time, say, “Sony’s PSP restrictions SUCKS!” instead.
i reckon sales of lumines are about to skyrocket!
this step is a cardinal one, good job!
amazon and ubi-soft is lovin this shit they even raised the price
sony got fucked in the ass with no vasaline
By/with a Huge Ass Pineapple.
FUCK I GOT BRICKED AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MOTHAFUCKERS
Really? Then it must be hard to follow the directions. They must be complicated. Darn. :-( No pun intended.
yes!!!!! thanxs to noobzz……. i already downgrade my brother PSP to 1.50!!!! yes!!!!!!!
yeeeeeeah
this is awwwsome
i just boght 2 psp’s one for my bro

and Deadalus R12 is OUT YEAAAAAH
lol
hey I got the psp 3.11 too
will the downgrader enable me 2 play illegal copy games??
dude plz help me!
HACKERS FTW!!!!
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.
How do you know Sony did this already? I have to go out today then if that is true and hope the store employees are lazy.
Blistring Barnacals!!!!
Thanks Noobz and Dax!! My PSP 3.50 to 1.50 is working GREAT now going to update to OE…………..But I’m still having fun playing SNES and now N64.Loving every minute…………………
wait a minute. im a fukin noob. please help me out. i used the exploit to downgrade to 1.50 for the first time in my life. im trying to get any kind of emulator to run on my psp. (I have a TA-082). every emulator just ends up as corrupt and wont execute. i tried using gbSP but its confusing. HELP A NEWB AND OTHERS WHO READ THIS OUT PLEASE!!! *sob* im beginning to feel as though there was no reason to downgrade. idk even why i downgraded. i am the ultimate newb. please help me.
n0000000b ALARM!!!!!
hmm keep downgrading or if not try to find a tutorial online…if u that dont work tell me haha
I just pissed my pants.
toysrus was the first 2 pull it 2 bad i bought mine at ebgames
why can’t i go to 3.03 oe-c………. when i try to make the dxar file it says cannot open
you have to go to 3.03 oe-a first
u have to creat Game150 folder & damb the file inside. this may help.
anyone use US version lumines (ULUS10002GH) to try b4?? it is under greatest hit.. can that be use???
yeah, it works. downgraded my psp the other day with it.
damn i need another psp so i can try this. sucks i already have cf.

Awsome, so how do I upgrade to 3.50 ? The tutorial explains everything but that. WELL DONE N00BZ
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
amazon.com psp haxor
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
It will become a first UMD massproduced in china. $4.99 a piece on black market.
good week both dg and r 12hell yea
CAN ANYONE HELP ME TO VERFIED WHETHER THE ORIGINAL umd FOR LUMINES (ULUS10002GH) CAN BE USE FOR DOWNGRADING ???? PLEASE. I NEED HELP IN THIS
They say that it works, currently I have that version, but I can’t get the PSP to downgrade with the greatest hits version
Okie .. Thaks alot. …. OK!! WHO HAD TEST OUT USING THE Greatest HIT US VERSION LUMINES??? DOES IT WORK?????

Now DON’T UPGRADE your firmware in the future to 3.5+ Everyone can do homebrew!!!!
Sony will release 4.0 soon
I hear Firmware 3.51 is avaliable via Network update. I think the word is out :P
what is the difference between DevHook Supported 1.62 IE-D Update2 and Custom Firmware 3.40 OE? what does each offer, and which is better?
cf 3.40oea is better it work same as sony fw. while devhook have to activate everytime when playing game & some time it will reboot back to cf1.50.

wa !!!!!! THX ALOT ~~~~~~~~~~I CAN DO DOWNGRADING FOR MY FRIEND LE… yeah….
wat version of lumines is required, the original black label or greatest hits? or either will work? i wish they said that…
here’s an info from http://www.noobz.eu/joomla/news/downgrader-for-psp-v3.50-firmware.html
it says:
“#
# A legal Lumines UMD, either the EU (ULES00043) or US (ULUS10002) version. The original, Platinum, or Greatest Hits versions are all fine. Support for the Japanese version will come soon.”
Thanks Alot, I’ll be helping alot of friends with their PSP’s now.
Either
WHAT YOU MEAN EITHER??
What YOU think that means!?!?!?
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 ?
im dumb. ignore this question. if it happens to you, just press the brightness button. LOL
so we can use ULUS10002 or ULUS10002GH version to downgrade right?
u confirmed is Greatest Hit US version UMD??
Yes, greatest hits worked fine for me.
Way to go Noobz!!! I’m just waiting for my payment, and when it comes, I will donate some $$$ to you guys. Excellent job!
DDAAMMNN!!!! I STIL CANT FIND ANY PIECE OF GOLD LUMINES IN ANY STORE!!! WHY IT HAVE TO BE MMMMMMEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
so we can use ULUS10002 or ULUS10002GH version to downgrade right?
u confirmed is Greatest Hit US version UMD??
i need a confirmation. thx
“A legal Lumines UMD, either the EU (ULES00043) or US (ULUS10002) version. The original, Platinum, or Greatest Hits versions are all fine. Support for the Japanese version will come soon.”

Greatest thing in a little world … thank you so much for save the world of PSP
Wow! What a week, Downgrader and now N64 emu update. Way to go Noobz. I remember the excitement I felt when I saw that 2.0 could be downgraded. I’m happy all you guys can now join us in the homebrew community.
Omg, I leave the scene for a while and they come out with something sweet!!!!!!!
NICE!
GOOD JOB!
I will sell my Lumines after downgrade.
Anyone wants it?
=]
ill buy it. email me at gokern2580@yahoo.com
Sure sense its sold out all around Compton
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.
hey one question will this downgrader work on a japanese gold psp? cause im about to downgrade it. and i just want to make sure.
For ppl in Sabah n all other parts in Malaysia….. I will lent my umd luminess for ANYBODY want to use it. Must give me a valid email, ur home add, tel, mobile and PAYMENT for shipment…. Contact me at zaidan79@hotmail.com

thanks beb , nice 2 hear that.
Is there anyway of downgrading with GTA LCS UNPATCHED or no game cuz i rly dont wanna waste my money on lumines
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.
“7 – Unzip the 1.50 update to a temporary folder. Rename the EBOOT.PBP to
UPDATE.PBP and copy it to :/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/ . DO NOT
OVERWRITE PSP/GAME/UPDATE/EBOOT.PBP!”
where is this 1.5 update?
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:):):D
can the umd be Lumines II or must it be lumines I ??
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!
Get it off Amazon. It’s in stock. Hurry before like teh whole world gets it :o
hey i followed all instructions…but when i load the game…i just get the Hello World screen and nothing else happens..no rebooting or n e thing..Please HELP

i really hope i don’t get called a noob or something or get stupid emails but… i am about to buy the game and i need help doing all the downgrading stuff. email me plz with the info. at ryanlogan12@yahoo.com
All the help you need is in the forums of this site. The only requirements needed is reading and educating yourself for about max of 3 hours and patience with preparedness before you downgrade.
Will this work on a white Japanese PSP, running on a North American firmware, and North American version of Lumines?
will this work with a Australian version of the game
I’m pretty sure the AUS version is the same as the European version. You should be fine. But I live in the U.S., so you should wait for more sure advice.
I am buying the game from amazon. Sweet now i could i have fw 1.50.
dam i have the japenese version of this game
lumines? emm…here goes people on ebay will take this chance to sell lumines with a shitty price.
i can borrow u if u want…………………………….if u in s’pore.

That time I’m begging from all the pll around world to rent me or sell me the gta lcs umd for downgrade purpose.

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

Will this work for 3.10 if i updrade to 3.50 then downgrade? I have never downgraded before please let me know
Yes just upgrade to 3.50 first then download the downgrader package then read the README text inside it. It will help. Also there a Videos on Youtube of it being demonstarted.
Thanks, now all i have to do is look for my psp in my room, so that i can do it…lol…thanks
question. could you just rent lumines and downgrade? or would you need to actually own it because my blockbuster has psp games it would be way cheaper :)
yes you can just rent lumines and downgrade, you dont need to own it :)
Do I need a specific version of this game? How old is the game and is it easily available? I tried finding GTA LCS for a long while, but scalpers on ebay are selling them for $50 each! I’m just trying to find a copy of lumines that will work.
After this downgrading proccess and you end up on v1.50. Are you able to use/play your original UMDs that you have bought.
When you have to copy the psp folder to the root of the memory stick, does it erase everything that was saved in the original psp folder, such as songs or pictures?
for the guys in Malaysia n Sabah espcially…. Y dont try to lend my UMD’s instead flaming without a reason
Does lumines 2 wrk 4 the downgrade
My offer still valid…for those who r interested only n it’s limited for Malaysian n especially Sabahan ppl. Those who r not… Dont just acused people with d lame words…. just shut up…
NEW requirement… Only valid(this offer) for the registered user in this website only …coz I need some nice feedback from the future happy borrowers to throw back what they(IDIOTIC FLAMERS-WHO DONT KNOW HOW TO APPRECIATE PEOPLE KINDNESS) said to me….
plus… I have paypal account…so , I’m verified…right….
im stuck on 3.4 how do i downgrade without the GTA stuff please help if theres anyway…i just want to get out of 3.4 haha and i dont want 3.5 haha
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.
Help: I have a question i know its off topic. I’m on 3.40-OE A firmware and when i try all types of ISO it wont work, after pressing circle it loads the PSP logo of the Game then it juss plain Black nothing happens?? what should i do? do i have to downgrade?? or what? if i have to downgrade to 1.5 again how do i do it?
thanks in advance
u will still need to play ur iso game with ur umd game inside loaded.
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.
the main question i think all of us are trying to get answers from is how do u downgrade 3.4 i know that sumwhere there is a faster more efficient, safe way to downgrade 3.4 firmware without buying a stupid GTA game to do it…if not than we all know we can always upgrade to 3.5 or 3.51 but if we do than how do we doengrade from there???we need help…we aint all psp gurus…haha please help
is there anything cool we can do with 3.4???i struggle to update because idk if theres anything to do with 3.4…i cant downgrade cause i cant find anything… help please :(
oh man i cant use GTA LCS anymore…my only hope is lumines… :( does lumines II work???cause lumines is getting hard to find at a store :( nooooooooooooooo
Lumines 2 does not work, maybe the one copy before that. Head over to the forums and READ around to see if your question has been answered already.
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.
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).
Just wanted to add that I justed noticed the person named Mike who wrote 3 posts just before mine. I’m not the same person, although our problems are similar.

3.50 and 3.10 downgraders are not the same.
Is this a good idea if you have a TA802? when i open my UMD tray i see I1003. Im hearing alot of people saying that i wont be able to update to anything past 3.30!!! IF there is a guide id be happy to read it!?
it hard to work
Sorry to sound like a noob but can I use Lumines II? the prices on ebay for Lumines are just outrageous.
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.
