Well i not wanting to except that my brick was caused buy a fuc* up on my behalf i woke up this morning and upgraded my 1.50 to 2.71 and used that same files i used last night and BOOM! it went sweet from 2.71 to 1.50 just like that. Too bad it didnt work fo the first one i tryed im putting in down to the fact that the psp was a prize and mite have been a bit dodgy it came with bad pixels so it already had a dodgy screen .It had been upgraded b4 no problems but i guess it musa had enuff this is posible? or is it unlickly that this is what happend ?

Hey guys, just to report that i've successfully bricked my PSP.. Guess maDdoggnz wasn't the only one.. The red screen came up for around a minute or so then it turned black, i restarted and now i've a $200 brick.. :)

BTW, i checked that it wasn't TA-082 already so i guess it's my luck..

@maDdoggnz
Where did you get your PSP? I bought mine in Australia, so might this be a problem?

Yup, i guess it's just my luck. Saw a PSP with a broken screen for $60 on ebay, but don't know how difficult it would be to replace the screen. Anybody who did it before like to comment? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I downgraded my psp from 2.71 to 1.5 with no problems.I initially had a 2.5 psp. So i upgraded it to 2.71 then downgraded it.

They say it takes about 10 tries before you are able to downgrade it but it worked for me on my first go.

I was following the guide at this site http://www.pspcrazy.com/index.php?page=Story&id=1331
and its really easy and simple.

So yer I have had a successful downgrade. So good luck to all you guys!

ALL THE BEST

I Bricked mine. I bought mine in Japan. Would that make a difference. It's not a TA-082 but i used my friend's american psp to get the 1.50 folder. Did it bricked becuase i didn't use japanese 1.50 psp to get the file?

But nonet the less my psp is fixable i managed to get a japanese 2.0 motherboard. And maybe i can downgrade from there.

O Rly? Well yah i think also i shut off the psp when it was in the red screen im thinking i should have waited a bit longer before i did that. Oh well the new mother board is 2.0 so its all good.

thats why you bricked you have to wait 30 seconds after the red screen is gone and then turn it off not while the red screen is on that meens it has started the downgrade then you just stopped it you murderd your psp

Hi,

just done mine initially upgraded from 2.6 to 2.71 then used the easy downgrader and followed the tutorial to the letter.

I will admit it took 9 attempts and a few of those that didnt work it didnt automatically switch off i had to remove battery and power then restart and try again.

i will advise keep at it if its not happening and when it does WAIT as its on the red screen for a while and for quite a while the mem light does not flash. Do not turn it off just wait and eventually it will turn off wait another 30s like the ins say and you will have a 1.5 like me woohooo.

Hi,

maybe someone can confirm to load an iso with dev hook you do need a umd inserted??

I rememeber ages ago there were progs i think fast loader that could do it without any umd

it did work ,i did it myself .i have tested 60 of the 100 odd games i have now acquired ,if you cannot see any writing in the umd bit, the circuit board LOOK AT THE VERY TOP , i saw nothing on mine i.e soldering that is copper coloured , if you see anything ,plz do not try ,i think all is good to go. i had a 2.7 upgraded it to 2.71 from that, any game and does play all i have tested ,any firmware upto a 2.71 game ,got a nice 1.5 now ,you will have to create a MP ROOT folder ,for your movies.
trying to give a little back as people do ask ? and yes they do get answered,thank you for all of the help i did receive on this
