03 HEN Noobz Downgrader Guide
------------------------------

Here is a guide for downgrading any current PSP hardware version
(TA-079 - TA-086) from firmware 2.81-3.03 to 1.50.

IMPORTANT:
The Noobz team is strongly against piracy, and we're not just
saying that to cover our butts. When you pirate games, you're
removing the incentive for game and console makers to continue
making fun things for us to play with. We are releasing this
downgrader because we believe that using your PSP to its full
potential and being able to customize it and run homebrew code
is a fair use right that should be available to everyone.
Please purchase games that you intend to play. Thanks!

Requirements
------------
In order to downgrade a 3.03 PSP you will need the following:

- Original GTA LCS (any region), which should have the 2.00 update on the disc.

- 3.03 Downgrader (this package)
http://www.noobz.eu/joomla/index.php?opt...=fileinfo&id=12

- 1.50 Update
http://dl.qj.net/PSP-Firmware-1.50-File-...d/163/catid/163

- 3.03 Update if you are on firmware 2.81 to 3.02
http://dl.qj.net/PSP-Firmware-3.03-PSP/pg/12/fid/11844/catid/163

******************************************************************
* WARNING, ANY DOWNGRADER HAS A CHANCE OF BRICKING A PSP. WHEN A *
* PSP IS BRICKED YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE IT ANYMORE. WE HAVE *
* DONE A LOT TO TRY AND MINIMISE THE RISK, BUT THERE IS ALWAYS *
* SOME LEVEL OF RISK WHICH YOU MUST ACCEPT IF YOU WANT TO *
* DOWNGRADE *
******************************************************************

Instructions
------------
Here are the steps to downgrade any 3.03 PSP to 1.50:

1 - If you have a 3.03 PSP skip to step 6

2 - Download 3.03 update from here:
http://dl.qj.net/PSP-Firmware-3.03-PSP/pg/12/fid/11844/catid/163

3 - Unzip and place the file in <pspdrive>:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE

4 - On the PSP, run the 3.03 update from the memory stick under the Game menu.

5 - Delete <pspdrive>:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE

6 - Copy the contents of the folder MS_ROOT from the 3.03 downgrader ZIP to
the memory stick

7 - Unzip the 1.50 update to a temporary folder. Rename the EBOOT.PBP to
UPDATE.PBP and copy it to <pspdrive>:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/ . DO NOT
OVERWRITE PSP/GAME/UPDATE/EBOOT.PBP!

8 - Load GTA LCS

9 - It should get to loading savegame, then the screen will clear to black
and fill with a light blue colour, then the PSP will reset itself (if
this does not happen see section below)

10 - Check that HEN is running by going to system settings, then to
"System Information" and it should show up as system version
303 HEN

11 - If it is showing up as HEN then go to the memory stick and
run the x.yz update

12 - If you have an unpatched TA-082 or higher motherboard, you will be
prompted to allow the downgrader to patch your motherboard so it
can be safely downgraded. The downgrader will not let you proceed
without patching, if your motherboard requires it.

13 - Before the downgrader does anything to your PSP it will ask
for you to agree to what it is doing, if you no longer want to
continue press the Right Shoulder Button (R-TRIGGER).

14 - Once you have agreed to start the downgrade do not unplug the
PSP, or try and restart it

15 - Once finished the PSP will ask you to press X, and reset itself

16 - If it comes up saying that the settings are corrupt, press x
to continue, this will mean you will need to re-enter the
settings for network connections into your PSP, otherwise go to
step 18

17 - Load the included NetConfigBackup application in your PSP, and select to
restore, this will take the backup that was done of the network config
that was done automatically during the downgrade.



but only manage to get to step 11 only

The error code you're getting:

* 80020148 = PRX type unsupported
Explanation: This error comes up when you try to use emulators, homebrew, etc. on a psp with version 1.52 and higher.

Have you made sure in systm info it says 3.03 HEN?

And make sure you've got the right files in the right place.

It would be kinda hard to help with only the Information you provided. Thats like calling up a mechanic and say my car isn't working any ideas why it isn't?

What problems are you having with your network config?

Your net settings don't really matter, unless you can't be bothered entering them again when you want to connect to the net on it...

Just upgrade to 3.52 M33, then try again if you have to.
