June 26, 2007PSP 3.50 Firmware Downgrader!
Posted by greg
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!

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
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

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…………………

(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.

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?????

Hella ya me too, this should be a requirement of rules for any update flashing releases haha.
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.
