How to Downgrade a 2.71 ,2.7. 2.6 , 2.5 or lower psp to 1.5

I have personally tried this downgrader 5 times and all resulting in a complete success. I do not guarantee you that you shall be successful as me . Please try this AT YOUR OWN RISK. I will give you 99% success chance if you do EXACTLY WHAT I SAY. But I say let's get it done , it worked for me 5 times and I doubt you will have any problems (hopefully) if you do what i say
: D (trust me).

NOTE: If you have a TA-082 psp , to check click here (your UMD tray will be green in colour) do not attempt this downgrading . Instead do this how to play games on psp without downgrading . I repeat do not attempt this if you have a TA-082 modchip (rare)


REQUIRMENTS:

1) You will need WinRaR for extracting download it from here

2)Your PSP must be 100% charged , you will also need a psp USB cable and a FORMATED memory stick which is atleast more than 32 MB.

To check whats your f/w (firmware) version go to "system settings " on the main menu > choose "system information" > and see the system software

3) If your firmware is 2.71 skip this step , if its lower than that download this here

4)Download the DOWNGRADER from here

5)Download the DOWNDATER file from here

OK LET'S GET EM DONE

Downgrading to 1.5


1)If you are on 2.71 Skip this step . If you're on a lower one then go into PSP > GAME and create a new folder called UPDATE. Put the EBOOT.PBP file from STEP (3)in there. Restart your PSP and update it as normal via the GAME menu (Just click on the update icon on the folder and follow the instructions). Delete the data when you're done.

2) Open up the zipped Downgrader file from step (4) . Click on MS_ROOT and you will see the following: PSP , d.bin , LEEME.TXT , README.TXT Copy these onto you PSP's root (the first screen you see when you go into it in USB mode eg removable disk (H:) or (I:) or (J:). If it tells you 'there's already a folder called PSP' or something overwrite it - Just click on "OK".

3) Take the unzipped DOWNDATER folder from STEP (5) and put it in the same place, your PSP's root. your psp should have these things


PSP (folder) <- very important DOWNDATER (folder) <- very important d.bin <- you should have this MP_ROOT (folder) <- it's not important that you have this . LEEME.TXT <- it's not important that you have this README.TXT <- it's not important that you have this MEMSTICK.IND and MSTK_PRO.IND <- Not important that you have this your psp should look like this





then RECHECK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE again and again

4) SEE that your psp is full charged , Remove the UMD disk (if any) and Recheck the steps .

5) See this video before doing it here or here (alt. link) it helps alot.

6) Disconnect your psp fom the PC , restart it and go to photos (A small trick that always works for me is switch on your psp scrool to settings then scrool back to photos and click on it as fast as you can .) If it gets stuck just hold the power till it switches off or remove the battery (seriously chill don't worry this is normal ) . After a few attempts your whole screen will turn red (just like the video ) just leave it. It took me 7 attempts for the first time to turn the whole screen red , after about 2 minutes the psp will automatically switch off just leave it alone.

7) Wait for about 1 minute before switching your psp back on. If everything has gone well you will see a crazy blue screen (like the one below) , just press circle . CONGRATS YOU SUCCESSFULY DOWNGRADED YOUR PSP (woo-hoo!) (read below)

YAAAA... See I told you so :D works every time. It will ask you for date and time and stuff after which you can go to system settings and check your 1.5 f/w on your system information . FORMAT YOUR PSP AFTER THIS .

///FAQ\\\

Q: Will this brick (spoil) my PSP?

A: NO not even a chance as it all runs off of your memory stick.

Q: When the screen turns blue then green, do i have to do this each time?

A: NO once it turns green, each time you still have to load it, but it will only turn BLUE. Green just means it was installed sucessfully and is only required ONCE!

Q: Can i keep HEN-D enabled forever?

A: You can keep it on sleep, but each time you fully turn off your PSP, your reset to 2.71 and you have to load it though the PHOTO.

Q: What exactly are the advantages of this?

A: Well its great for loading ISO and CSO games off your memory stick which require higher then 2.71. Since a lot of the newer games require higher then 2.71!

Q: Will this work on my TA-082 PSP?

A: Yes! This is what i did it on and it worked for me 100%

Q:How do i get back to my orignal 2.71 firmware?

A: Just fully turn off your PSP

Q: Do i need a background to load HEN-D?

A: You don't need one, but the chances of your system freezing will pretty much never happen if you have your background.

REMINDERS

1. To load ISO/CSO games simply enable HEN-D, load DEVHOOK 0.51 BETA for 2.71, select 3.01 as your firmware, select file emulation and select your CSO/ISO you want to load. Hit Start. Now you will be brought to the PSP HOME with the game, hit Circle to start.

2. MAKE sure there is no UMD in your drive when loading HEN-D, or Devhook, only put the UMD (ANYUMD) in the drive while you are in the Devhook Menu. IT IS REQUIRED TO PLAY ISO/CSO games. Most ISO's will work .

3. YOU will have better luck loading HEN-D when you have your own background image, instead of the XMB wave thing. It will usually work everytime with a background image.

I have copied this tutorial an have edited it a bit. To convert iso's to cso's see my previous article here

How to reduce the size of psp games (iso's) on the memory stick / compress psp games

( me playing prince of Persia : revelations CSO on my psp with devhook 0.52 )

All you guys who play iso's on the memory stick of the psp can now put more games in thanks to iso to cso/dax converter. This converter compresses the iso files hence reducing the size ... for example I can fit in GTA:VCS (with cheat device) , WTF (work time fun) , NFS: 5.10, FIFA STREET :2 ,Burnout: legends , Virtua tennis and Pinball all on my 2 GB memory stick along with a few homebrews and about 70 mp3's (all compressed) and 3 music videos : D ... that's 7 games with 6 cso's and 1 iso (GTA:VCS). This converter help's to store more games ,I converted my 890 MB Prince of persia :revelations into a 720MB cso . Some games become half or less by size on conversion like SSX :on tour (from 237.2 MB to 124 MB) , its best to compress PSP isos as it save loads of space.

You can download the ISO to CSO/DAX conveter by Danny kay here (unzip and install it) .

You can download a free unzipper software here

With the software you can covert CSO,ISO and DAX into CSO or ISO or DAX

NOTE: Almost all games run smoothly on cso and dax format but games like GTA lag a bit
