Need help very badly. I'm just about to freak out...

[JFORESTJ]

I just followed the directions word-for-word on this website: http://www.psp-hacks.com/forums/f159...thing-t130973/

for the process of downgrading from 2.6 to 1.5 and I got to the stage where my PSP's lights are blinking but the screen is off. It stopped blinking and I tried turning it on and now it won't at all! The power light is on but nothing else is working. I am in desperate need of help and I'm about to have a nervous breakdown. Please, someone help me out or give me advice or a suggestion. Please, I am so nervous that I screwed this one up bigtime...

what model psp you got? is it a 1000? the fatter one

which tutorial did you follow? the link is to a bunch of tutorials, old tutorials that are outdated, why the hell would you look in the archive for tutorials? the tutorial section is where you find the up to date stuff

It's a 1001 version and I was following this tutorial:

DOWNGRADING 2.5 & 2.6



2.5/2.6 Downgrading Instructions

To downgrade your PSP providing you have firmware 2.5/2.6 you must have an unpatched Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories PSP game. You can tell if you have an unpatched version of GTA by putting the UMD into your PSP and seeing what firmware it is.

If your PSP shows you that there is a 2.6 update on the disk, this is a patched version! If it shows you that there is a 2.0 update on the disk, you are ready to go as this is the unpatched version.

Ok so now that you are ready to downgrade, let's get on with it!

PLEASE NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE YOUR PSP CHARGER IN AT ALL TIMES

1.Download the downgrader program that you run on your computer (Save it to your desktop) here:
http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/605

2.Before you plug in your PSP to the computer, reformat your memory stick from the PSP. Backup anyfiles on your computer you do not want to lose.

3.Once it has finished downloading, plug in your USB cable and make sure your computer recognises that the PSP is connected by clicking on “My Computer” and checking that it says “Removable Disk” that belongs to your PSP.

4.Navigate to your desktop and launch the Easy downgrader that you downloaded earlier

5.The program will run itself, just watch until it asks you to get GTA UMD ready for instructions later on in the tutorial.

6.Try program will then ask you if you want to downgrade, if you are unsure, I suggest you do not downgrade and turn around now. If you do want to downgrade, click “Yes” to continue.

7.The program then asks you do reformat your memory stick from the PC or PSP. We did this earlier so you can just click “Continue”.

8.An agreement is then shown on, click “Agree” to continue with the downgrading.

9.The downgrader will now ask you what firmware you have, either 2.5 or 2.6. Select whatever firmware you have.

10. It will then ask you yo select the root of your memory stick. To do this, click browse > Computer > Removable disk (Your PSP) Now click next.

11. Now on the computer it should say if you want to install. Yes you do want to install so click “Install.”

12. Now just let the program run, it is installing the downgrading tools for you.

13. When it has finished installing the downgrading tools to your memory stick, it asks you to get GTA and put it in your PSP.

14. Now you can exit USB mode.

15. Navigate over to the “GAME” part of your PSP's menu and wait for GTA to show.

16. Click on the GTA UMD and it should begin to load.

17. When the GTA game is loading at about half way there, it will load up the eLoader menu.

18. Now, select the “Downdate Test” and just wait.

19.Your PSP should look like it's switched off apart from the memory card light flashing like crazy! This is supposed happen!

20. Wait for a few minutes, and when your PSP has stopped flashing the memory stick light, it is OK to turn on your PSP.

21. Turn on your PSP and a blue screen should show up, it's telling you that some of the flash files are “corrupt” but if you click O it will reboot your PSP and ask you to set the date/time ect... Forget that, do it later.

22. Now go to your System settings and double check that you have 1.5 firmware. Hopefully you have!

23. Now, before you download any homebrew, reset your default settings. This will then restart your PSP and your ready to go! Well done on downgrading!

I NEED HELP RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. I actually am crying right now. Seriously, if anyone can help, I would even go as far to paypal them money or something. I'm not gonna be able to sleep because of this and I've already been crying for the past 10 minutes

[JFORESTJ]

And I couldn't seem to find any other tutorials for how to do this. I AM SO STUPID. I'm crying right now cuz I could've just waited till tomorrow and my friend would've done the entire fucking thing for me. Now, I'm stuck with a broken PSP that won't even turn on. This is one of the worst things to ever happen to me - someone please help
