well I recently just heard about the PSP hacks and stuff and I wanted to try it out. before i was just playing normal games and I had to updater mine to 1.52 in order to play my game. Now i heard bout homebrew so i decided to read through all the post and guides until i found the update for 2.0 to go to 1.5 but whne i dl the update and go on usb connection and stuff i drag the update to the F:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE and i get a message Cannot Copy EBOOT: Cannot find the specidied file. Make sure you specify the correct path and file name.

In fact everything i try to upload to my psp says that cept for my images. Whatever idrag to my psp folder it says the same thing. can someone tell me how to make it work. cuz i need to upgrade it then downgrade to 1.5 for the homebrew (so i been told) please help

If it's in a zip or rar, extract it first and then drag and drop it.



Firmware - 1.0 > 1.5 > 2.0 > 2.5 > 2.6 > 1.5 > 2.6 > 1.5
I make my own signatures, isn't that an amazing and boring fact for me to put here? Don't PM me with an answer...well you could, give me something to talk about or you would probably be completely rude about the matter....just one more dot? ok ..... .

Okay, download the EBOOT from here - http://www.psphacks.net/files/PSPFirmwares/2.0/Original/EBOOT.PBP
and click save. Make sure your PSP is connected and save it in the ms0:/PSP>GAME>UPDATE Once downloaded into your folder. Scroll over to the update and run it. Tell me what happens.

y dont you try and upgrade to a diffrent fw like 2.60 or 2.71 and see if that helps mayb its the update file if that works just use on of the new downgraders and make sure you have the EBOOT file in a folder called UPDATE in caps and place it in the games foder on your m/s

First try the 2.0 downgrader as it is the safest.

tru the new 2.01 downgrader has alot of new safety features and its good for noobz lol http://noobz.eu
im pritty sure its had no reported bricks
Quote:
Wow, a little over a week ago we saw a "Hello World" application emerge on all 2.0-2.80 PSP's with the newly discovered and exploited libtiff vulnerability. In the past week we have seen both a 2.71 downgrader, 2.80/2.81 decrypter, and a new eLoader (v0.9.8), all of which happened within days of each other!

Today, the Noobz team have released a 2.0/2.01 downgrader that utilizes the new tiff exploit which allows them the necessary access to complete such a task. Even though 2.01 was released roughly a year ago, I'm sure there are still those who may benefit out of this knowing that this is a safe downgrader and hasn't been reporting any bricks so far.

As always, downgrading always has a risk of bricking your PSP if you fail to follow the directions properly, so please use this downgrader at your own risk. So, for those who didn't update to 2.71 to downgrade, you can successfully downgrade by following these steps as listed in the readme file -

First you need eLoader 0.98 or later (get it from www.noobz.eu).
Install eLoader, and make sure that it is working for you by loading some nice safe homebrew (e.g. Squarez).
Next unzip this downgrader package onto your memory stick. You should end up with the EBOOT.PBP file copied to /psp/game/201downgrader/EBOOT.PBP.
Also copy the v1.5 Update EBOOT to /psp/game/update/EBOOT.PBP.
Now run the downgrader via eLoader. Assuming that your PSP passes the safety checks, you should be given a menu of options.
To downgrade, you need to select the 'set to v1.00' option (the Circle button).
This will fake your PSP to version 1.00. Once you've completed the process, you can run the v1.5 Update EBOOT, directly from your PSP's Game menu.
Note that when the v1.5 Update is 99% complete, it will display an error message that it has 'failed - contact Sony customer support, error code FFFFFFFFF'.
This is OK! Just power off your PSP, and reboot it. You then get a blue screen, saying "Press O to reset your settings" in several languages. Press O, and your PSP reboots again - voila! You now have a v1.5 PSP.
Note that, before you install the 1.5 Update, your PSP is still really a v2.0 or v2.01 PSP, but it will claim to be v1.0. If you've changed your mind about downgrading, you can choose to rerun the downgrader, and restore your old version number, with either the Cross or Square button, as appropriate.
Alternatively, if you changed your mind about running the downgrader, you can just press Triangle to exit without changing anything.

also when i double click on eboot in my folder, it says "windows cannot open this file" which is probably because it only works on psp but i really have no idea.

you have to put it in a folder named UPDATE with caps on and then place the update folder in the games folder on your psp

Make sure the update folder is all capitals also. If you need a bug free one, check if any of your UMDs have an update to 2.0 i know GTA unpatched, and burnout have them.
