Having just got my PSP (April 21st) I was able to do some research, do some reading, some more reading and was able to Install F/W v3.40 AO-E without any drama or hastle or Bricking my PSP. So I want to share this info so you dont brick you're PSP TA-082.
If you are reading this than you must have a 2.71 TA-082 PSP, if you dont know... here is how. Hold you're PSP so when you read the UMD Text on the Disc Cover, that it reads upside down and is located to the left of the Disc Cover. Now slide the latch to eject the Disc Cover look, very carefully on the inside top Lip of the PSP if you are holding it as I asked you to, you will see some text "IC1003" if you see this text you have an TA-082, if my description is not good enough I'm sure you can find pictures on the net showing this.
Now you need to carefully read and follow two articles. First article is to downgrade from 2.71 to 1.50 and Second Article is to upgrade from 1.50 to 3.40 AO-E.
Article 1: Downgrade TA-082 from v2.71 to v1.50
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/441460
Article 2: Upgrade v1.50 to 3.40 AO-E
http://forums.exophase.com/showthread.php?t=383
I was a total PSP Newbie and I did this without bricking my PSP.
If you're not sure about any of the above, than ask before you rush and reck you're PSP.
Relax, Be Calm and read everything twice... Whats the rush anyway?
OH!! I almost forgot. I dont know if this guide would work with any other PSP Models, I only know that it works with the TA-082 which is what I have.

Exactly what I did. I got my psp last Saturday from Fye. They had $30.00 MIR. And I bought a 4GB Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo at amazon.com from a seller. It was so cheap that I'm afraid it might be a fake. So before it came to my door, I bought another 2GB Sandisk Memory Stick Duo from local bestbuy store. I skipped a few classes, and downgraded then upgraded my psp. So far no problem.
I'm a complete newbie. I remember when I connect my psp to my pc via usb the very first time, I didn't turn the psp to usb connection mode. And it took me almost half hour to figure out. lol

Actually that was the first Article I tried and I thought I had bricked my PSP, I find the newer article has too many steps and if you miss a step you can run into trouble. The Older 2006 Article is less confusing and got the job done. However I'm a newbie what do I know. :)
If people find the newer article works than go 4 it.

Hey everyone, i have two quick questions and any help would be greatly appreciated. On step 4 it says "4.run the installer and it will install everything on to your MS including HEND." this means what exactly, drop the files in the um drive where you psp files are located (E drive) in the PSP and MP_ROOT opening window or what exactly? Idk how to be more vague on this lol but another thing. Step five says "5. once its finshed, navigate to the PHOTO section in the XMB and load HEND ---> NOT it may not load the first time so restart and try again. Make sure you have no UMD inserted when doing this!" I understand this step and i sort of did download the HEND File into my picture folder but i for some reason didnt get any color screen change it just freezes. Hence why i asked how exactly to do step four,maybe i downloaded it the wrong way even though i got the hend file in their along with everything else. It is just patience and i have to keep trying and trying to get the color change or what? Again any help would be appreciated thanks

2.71_TA-082_-_1.50.exe <--- Is a windows program.
Once you run it, you will be asked to give the path to you're PSP which should be in USB Mode and connected to you're PC at this point.
It will than make directories and place the files exactly where they are supposed to be. Than follow the rest of the instructions.

iyotmori what exactly is the problem? all i understood from your description is that you were not patient and you jumped the gun. Honestly are you trying to upgrade from 1.50 to 3.40 OE-A or are you still trying downgrade 2.71 to 1.50? That and whats your firmware? lol more info man. im thinking you just got stuck at the HEND part or something.

Hello Valiente... thanks for reading my post, i have a 2.71 fw and i heard that you can upgrade directly from 1.5 to 3.40 so i downgraded my 2.71 to 1.5 and then i upgraded it to 3.40 then when i click the 3.40 update it starts then after a minute it dosnt contenue it remains from 0%, so i decided to stop the upgrading by turning off the psp and when i turning it on it doesnt on or boot up my psp. all i can see is totally black... what a dumb ass.........:C

Damn it... I've been very busy and didnt get back to reading this thread.
When Flashing Firmware, be patient and make sure that either you're battery is fully charged or you're plugged into the A/C Adapter.
And whatever you do dont interrupt Do not turn the Poweroff.
Upgrading/Downgrading Firmware does take a few minutes.
Valiente: What is the status of you're PSP? Does it boot up?

"Hey everyone, i have a psp firmware 1.50 and i love the fact that i can play old gba games, snes games, sega games and all that good stuff. Yet I really would love to play some old psx games on it. I know theirs a way to upgrade like dark alex and his share of genious work. Yet i really dont wanna loose my old emulators like the gba and so on and so forth. So i really would appreciate from all of you smart ppl out their (a little sucking up never hurt lol) if you could tell me a way for me to keep my old emulators and things of that nature but be able to play Playstation games full speed glitch free(i think)of the 3.10 and + firmwares.

If you are happy with what you got stick with it.
not all PS1 Games are Supported... as an example my fav. game "Skull Monkeys" is not compatible with the PSP.
So do some searching and you can find the list of games that are compatible.
As well if you do a search you can find all the features available with v3.40 maybe there are features that you might want or not want.
Only upgrade if you really need to

hi, originally i had a 2.71 ta-082 psp, managed to goto 1.5>3.40oe-a. Had some problems with UMD's not playing, so i downgraded to 1.5>2.6
I'm just wondering how i can downgrade back to 1.5, or upgrade to 2.71 then back to 1.5 (as i have all the downgraders for 2.71 ta-082). Any help would be a huge help. Thanks.
