Downgrading Post

This post will be updated daily to put on new downgraders and remove outdated ones. These downgraders can brick your psp..so read the instructions carefully and download the right one suitable for your psp.

TA-82 & TA-81 Users 2.71 - Quickest Way to get from 2.71 to 1.5 (Then to 3.03 OE-C OPTIONAL)

First of all, confirm whether it's a TA-81 or a TA-82.

A readme is included...which tells you different instructions if you either have a TA-81 or a TA-82



Upgrade your PSP 2.71 to a 2.8 using the 2.8 update. 2.8 Update

I presume you already know how to update your psp. Now you want to begin your downgrade.

2.8 to 1.5

Read the instructions in the read-me carefully..then continue. I have tested this on my TA-82 psp and it did work.

(Optional) Upgrade to 3.03 OE-C
3.03 OE-C

Instructions are in readme.
Congratulations you now have a 3.03 OE-C
-------------------------------------------
The long awaited 3.03 easy-to-use downgrader!
NOTE: Once you go back down to 1.5 YOU CANNOT go back to 3.03 until further notice. 3.03 OE-C will be fine though.

* This downgrader is for v3.03 firmware only. But if you have v2.81 - v3.02, no problem - you can just upgrade to v3.03 to use the downgrader.

* You need a copy of the unpatched GTA:Liberty City Stories UMD. No ISOs, no patched UMDs, not Vice City Stories. The most reliable way: the unpatched disks have the v2.0 firmware update on them.

* This downgrader is intended to enable homebrew. Homebrew is NOT the same as piracy. Don’t be a thieving loser - buy the games you play.

* The downgrader will work on all current PSP hardware (TA-079 - TA-086). Patching of TA-082+ is automatic in the downgrader.

* You downgrade at your own risk. There is always a chance of bricking, although we have done everything we can think of to make this process safe.Everything you need to know concerning a successful downgrade can be found in “Downgrader_HOWTO.txt.” Read them carefully!Also, for those who fear messing with their PSP’s flash, can take advantage of the full homebrew experience with Homebrew Enabler (HEN) for 3.03. “HEN 303 - the Duff release” works in the same manner as Dark_AleX’s HEN. The requirements: a firmware 3.03 PSP and an unpatched version of Grand Theft Auto: Libery City Stories. Details on installation and usage are inside README.txt.

Update: Due to length...I have put the tutorial in a text file avaliable for download.

This method isn't as useful for a TA-81 unless you bought it at 2.8 or under which is rare now. For TA-82 it works great. If you have TA-81 that is 2.8 or above I suggest you wait and not upgrade it for awhile.

I will post a 3.03 TA-81/82 tutorial soon.

You need an old version of GTA: Liberty city stories though :(
