Easy DownGrader for Firmware 2.80 PSPs

Posted Dec 24, 2006 at 07:45AM by Shadows Listed in: PlayStation Portable Tags: eloader, PSP, 2.80, memory stick
Ó

I will state this once and only once:


If you don't know how to use the downgrader, and are afraid of the bricking of you psp, don't try this.
Otherwise, those of you willing to bite the bullet follow these instructions, courtesy of zozodouce of the "psp-hacks" website (look in the comments under the 2.80 downgrader video, and look in the far bottom for the comments.

The following requires:
2.80 Easy Downgrader (courtesy of csfreakno1)
A computer
A Playstation Portable Firmware 2.80, not sure of (2.81+ and higher psps)
and a USB cable

The instructions as "zozodouce" said them (I will place parentheses and comment on the side if I think they need any more explanation)

ok people the english version


Instructions:


If you do use that easy install then MAKE SURE that you use xLoader rather then eLoader.(in reference to the downgrader of Ookm's and the easy downgrader as shown above)


IF YOU LOAD eLoader THEN YOUR PSP WILL BRICK


Here is just a QUICK guide to the easy installer


1) Format memstick with a 2.8 NON TA-082 PSP.(recommended)


2) Connect PSP via USB and run easy installer.


3) Select PSP drive in the easy installer and let it install the files.(as in you psp root directory: x:root (or the first thing you click and see once your computer detects your psp)


4) Turn off your PSP.


5) Turn on your PSP and goto PHOTO -> Memory stick -> xLoader 280. (give it a 2 second wait before pressing X on the psp, it works better that way I've found using the Tiff exploit.)


6) You should see two icons in the xLoader 280 folder. If xLoader loads correctly then nothing should happen. If it fails then MS will blink and then PSP will crash.(but still be usable in that you can try again.)


7) Once xLoader is run successfully, goto GAME -> MEMORY STICK and run the downgrader.


8) You should see the DG menu.


9) Pray to God and cross your fingers.


10) Hit O to start DG.


11) Wait for it to say Finished. PowerOff to exit (do anything to touch it before that happens including: removing the battery pack, disconnecting the power supply and touching things around it in general)


12) Hold Power switch up untill psp is completely off.(longer than 4 seconds)


13) Pray again.


14) Turn on PSP, you should now get a Blue Screen Of Death so press O to reset settings.


THIS DOWNGRADER IS NOT FOR TA-082 USERS


CONGRATS! You should now have a 1.5 PSP..


WARNING: I STILL RECOMEND AGAINST USING THIS  YOU SHOULD JUST WAIT FOR A FOOL PROOF DOWNGRADER I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILTY IF THIS GOES WRONG (and neither do I)


There you will find the installer and a translated read me( as in take the readme from the easy downgrader and use a translator to translate)


Thank you



And that's it, you should now have a 1.5 psp.



***

Strictly not for 2.81+ users, not meant for 2.81, 2.82, etc.

If you remove any part of the power supply during the downgrade, you will most certainly have bricked your PSP


The best way to tell if you have TA-079 - TA-081 PSP is to check the motherboard under the UMD tray. (if it says IC1006 around the left side of PSP, when looked at from the UMD/PSP ring side you have a usable PSP for the downgrade, but if it says TA-082 around the right side, don't use it.
And just as well for any other 2.80 users, the easy downgrader derives for 0okm's downgrader, so anybody that uses it for anything higher or lower than TA-079 - TA-081 you are most certainly guaranteed a brick, so please don't be a newbie, idiot, or other synonym for newbie else you are most certainly guaranteed a brick.


***
Just as another warning for any other general a**es out there who work to put the blame on developers, Don't be an idiot and blame the developer, it's not like they have that much money, time, or hell even a desire to help out the people in the PSP community. They work hard to provide us with games, downgraders, and special programs, etc. for our PSPs, and they do it for free, and of their own free will to be nice. If you want to blame a developer, go right the heck ahead, but remember that you as the user:
a.) Chose to download the program.
b.) Have no express right to blame the developer.(even 0okm, else you could kiss a dev goodbye)
c.) Chose not to follow the instructions correctly.


Otherwise, happy holidays and welcome to the 1.5 FW 2.8ers.

Peace,
Shadow Man.

Sorry, but I had to go through the waiting process same as you did. I just posted earlier and waited is all. And besides that the people who actually allow these posts make sure there are no repeats, so sorry about that.

 5.  » TIME IT TAKES

DOES ANY ONE KNOW HOW MUCH TIME IT TAKED TO DOWNGRADE?

by QJ IS THE BEST !!!!####!!!! (Unregistered), at Dec 25, 2006 at 03:51AM

 6.  » Time it takes

The time it takes for the downdater to actually downdate may be anywhere from 1-3 minutes at best, and from what I've seen it doesn't take that long after the files are actually in memory stick after the format, unless you brick in which case you are screwed, but otherwise you should take at least 1-4 minutes to do so giving a guess as to how much time it takes to actually download the files, install to psp, use xloader(sporadic), and actually use the downdater. If conditions work out ideally the time should be even less.

 7.  » FAQ:

1.)Yes you should have the psp fully charged, (as in 100% is recommended)
2.)You can use PatchSFO to patch the downgrader just in case, but you don't really need to since the Easy Downgrader was made for xloader beforehand anyways.
3.)If you have Firmware 2.81+ and higher, I don't recommend this since the downgrader uses 0okm's original downgrader, only easier to use, but still only made for 2.80 Firmwares.
4.)All parts like the 1.5 IPL, the xloader, and the eloader(not necessary) are in the easy downgrader.
5.)Yes you should follow the instructions outlined above in the article.
6.)If you have anymore questions comment freely, and I will try and respond as best I can.
7.) Read the comments if you have any questions that may already have been answered.

 8.  » isn't xloader just loading eloader from the xmb?

so why is loading it from either one different?

by ???? (Unregistered), at Dec 26, 2006 at 01:54PM

 9.  » Difference:

Eloader will crash/brick you psp when you try to use the easy downgrader, but the xloader will work otherwise and actually make it work rather than bricking the psp. (it even said so in the instructions at the very beginning, "IF YOU LOAD eLoader THEN YOUR PSP WILL BRICK")
